Rent in the city is too high so I guess they are heading to Denver. I need to go buy a bunch of their gin before they go.

shit, i didn't expect to speak so soon of how great anne arbour used to be. the only bars i cared for were leopold's and the del rio. sigh. i hope that place under the heidelberg is still open.

BURN IT!!! BURN IT TO THE GROUND!!!

Fuck that noise. WAR Depot Town.

so, this is a place that makes it's own gin i'm divining from the above comments?

Yes, thank God....and they still only charge $2 for bottles of beer. I love that place.

trudat, but when you live in aa and ride a bike so everyone thinks you're green [b/c the car's hidden away on some side street] you pick leopold's over rick's or mitch's or whatever meat name is attached to a frat bar. plus, sticks looked like it was getting run over by eastern's frat scene around the time i packed up and left. the only thing worse than michigan greeks is eastern wannabe-greeks.

RACK Audrey's. Great food, cold drafts and hot babes. A slice of heaven in that rotting shithole you call home. BALLEEE DAT!

M Club - Sticks was always my least favorite of the Depot Town pubs. I actually made more visits to the Tiki Bar atop the roof than inside Sticks. Sidetrack is still the best all-around bar in terms of drinks, food, and atmosphere. It has its fair share of annoying pseudo-intellects, but you don't have to talk over loud, obnoxious music.

Yeah, Aubrey's is pretty damn good, too. And they opened another one up within 5 minutes from where I live.

i was always partial to sidetracks, most especially after the frat scene migrated to sticks from theo's. those happy hour double pints for $2.50 then 2.75 now probably 3.50 were lekker, especially during spring when oberon would come out. i never noticed that sidetracks was a pseudo-intellectual scene, just that ppl mostly kept to themselves at their tables, which is all you can ask for when out for a beer. if it was like that and i missed it, at least i never saw white baseball hats in there.

i liked the tiki bar a lot. it was proudly kitsch. i remember they brought out some shite 19' tv for game 1 of the pistons/lakers series and everyone was huddled over it even though there were big screens just inside sticks. plus, it has the only nice view of a parking lot i've ever seen.

Oh, I guess you haven't come acrossed the trying-way-too-hard-to-look-and-sound-interesting crowd there. No biggie. You're right in that the alternative Sticks crowd is far less appealing. And downright offensive.

i generally went up there with people i already knew, so i wasn't into scoping the clientele [aside from the obvious scan for attractive ladies]. i'm sure if i did i would've obviously found people much smarter and dressed better than me, and my only recourse would've been to cross the street to sticks and start a fight.

Oh, there would've been eager and willing participants. My last experience at Sticks ended with a bunch of pubic-chinned doucheslices demanding that the waitress turn it from college football to UFC on the Spike network. That was ENOUGH.

considering all that downriver scum who think ypsi's an awesome place to hang out...
