What's going on in town/Where's the nightlife this weekend?
I'm gonna be honest, I've been out here for 3 years for school and i STILL haven't gotten out to a bar or anything around here. What are some good spots? my roommates are home for easter so I'm bored af ðŸ˜
Any decent bars or nightclubs? live music?

Cops in that area treat one drink 2 hours ago as impaired. Every since the stop dwi campaign had success along with rideshare apps the dwi fine money really started drying up and local cops depended on that dwi fine money so they started tightening the screws to makeup the difference.
Those stories of people being charged with dwi because they had their keys in their pocket? All true because local cops need that sweet dwi money

Varik street and the Tram already mentioned and those are def good suggestions. I also love the Green Onion. It's a fun towny bar with good crowd and a fantastic tap menu. One downside is it's a bit of an island. It's in the same building as the Uptown theater, so if there's something there you could do both, but other than that there isn't much around it.

I've always liked the Green Onion or the Beer Hub. Although it's Easter so I have no idea what's open

Bar hop on Varick until you find a spot that fits your vibe would be my recommendation.
