It was such a great location for getting quick drinks on Friday / Saturday. But I'm not sure that's a good thing for a business model lol. And I too stumbled out plenty.

Well now it's just not an easy place to get to. Hell, half the folks don't even know where it is. I just don't think they realized that the only reason most people went there was location. No one went there because the food was just incredible or they loved their feet sticking to the floor.Quote:

Pettys, The Grill, & Cheers & Rosie Baby's was better back then tooQuote:

I do like BoardTown because beer selection is big and it's ice ass cold!
It's easier to name the bad places now because there's a lot of good stuff around Starkville.
Love what Tyler has done with that place. One of my good friends so really happy to see it bounce back after the fire.Quote:

Oh don't disagree. But Jason is (still) hoping that area will grow and explode into more than what it currently is. There's potential for more businesses there and making itself another social area. But lot of owners politicking against it.Quote:

Real drinkers went to Ricks for penny pitcher night and gladly drank skunky natty light. Also had dollar you call it.
If you ate at the old Christy?s it was a race to get back to your apartment before an explosion.
I didn't eat there while in school, only after. I tore up some Petty's though. Although I never had Petty's, I was sure it was better. Somewhere along the line though, they changed.Quote:

Never made it around to Dave?s but I do want to hit that place up.
Len Lews
Triangle Club
And you had to drive 10 miles to go to either.
My first year at State was The Kangs first year as our head coach. I had a great time at State. I'm blessed to have experienced that in my life.
Len Lews- Athletes, frats, and quite a few girls. Hamburger steak and fries was pretty decent after several beers, especially when you won the money shooting pool.Quote:

The Woodpile- Six pack of Sterling BigMouth in bottles was only about $1.50. Favorite of my roommate freak.
Only ate at Burger Chef, Coleman's for a Sunday barbecue plate, and Sargent's for a midnight meal after being at Len Lews or the Triangle Club. I can still see big ole Sarge asleep on a barstool at the counter and his late night cook could serve up a tasty burger or hamburger steak and fries.
Columbus Night Spots: The Southern Air and the Welding Works. Several girls from my hometown went to the W.
I transferred from Northeast Mississippi Junior College in the spring of 1975 and graduated at State in 1977. I had many great times and even back then, didn't know there was nothing to do in Starkville.**** Rock bands that came through were big name acts and fantastic shows. That would be another good thread.
Bars...
College: The Landing, Rick's, Cheers and Cotton District Grill
Now: Don't get back much, but I like the new Landing and had a good time at WalkOns when it first opened. Is Stagger In any good?
Anyone else used to go to Classix in Columbus on a Wednesday night?
Restaurants:
Then: Dave's, Oby's, Harvey's, Original Bulldog Deli and Little Dooey's
Now: GA Blue, The Grill, Two Bros, Bulldog Burger... and all of the above except Bulldogs Deli.
