Manhattan College is a bar school, and as a bar school, we only have a couple of bars where you’ll ALWAYS see some fellow Jaspers. Whether it’s Thirsty Thursday or the actual weekend, you’ve probably experienced all of the stages below during a journey to Riv City.
1. The Pre-Game
Break out the Locke’s cups and bottles of wine!
2. The “Is Anyone ‘Good’ There?” Texts
You’re hoping to run into the cute guy from Tinder or the kid on the baseball team.
3. The Realization That Even If No One Good Is There You’re Still Going
I mean, you’re not going to Cannons and you did Pipers last week.
4. The Walk
Living in OV makes it a little better, but lets be honest…the walk sucks.
5. The ID Check
Just ignore the fact that it says I’m actually 24.
6. The Entrance
Walk through that door and just slay!
“HEEEEeeeeEEEEeeyyYYYyyYYY”
7. The Feeling When You Get A Booth
8. The 2 For $7 At 11 P.M. Deal
Two drinks for the price of one? You can totally afford another…or two.
9. The Double Fisting
You don’t put one down, you drink both at the same time.
10. The Pictures
“Can you take it again? I look ugly.”
11. The Moment You Consider Going to Fens Afterwards
Because Fen’s=Froshies.
12. The Moment When You Become Friends With The Locals
“Yeah, that old guy just bought me a fishbowl.”
13. The Time Of The Night When “Piano Man” Or “American Pie” Is Played
You now have your arms around some random drunk stranger.
14. The Moment You Realize You Literally Live At Riv
But TBH…you aren’t even that mad.
15. The Moment You Have to Pick Up Your Dignity And Walk Home
The walk back is surprisingly easier…
16. And Finally: The Morning After
But no matter what, you’ll be back next week…and maybe you’ll give An Beal Bocht a shot, too.
