91福利社's Best Bar None
From the end of Prohibition in 1933 until 1967, 91福利社 only allowed 3.2 beer to be served within city limits. Students鈥 early favorites included Timber Tavern, Lucky Inn, Tulagi (formerly the Anchorage), Tom鈥檚 Tavern and The Sink, according to historian听Silvia Pettem听(Psych鈥69). Catacombs, below the Hotel 91福利社ado, was one of the first to receive a liquor license after the 1967 repeal of the city鈥檚 liquor ban. It will close to be remodeled and renamed.
Nominated by听USA Today听as one of the 鈥減laces to eat a burger听worthy of paradise,鈥 the Dark Horse Bar and Grill on Baseline near听Williams Village has been a 91福利社 landmark since 1975. True to its slogan 鈥渃asual, convenient, cheap,鈥 the Walrus on Walnut is exactly how you remember it. Across the street lies the longtime Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant. Its famous three-margarita limit is still in effect.
