Students searching to find a place to escape from the pressures of school often relied on places such as Dixon Recreation Center, the Women's Building swimming pool, or a local park to take care of their needs. But, those students who were 21 years or older, found that the local bars were one of their favorite places to socialize, relax and unwind. The average 21 -year-old could easily have found a bar with the environment that was best suited to their needs. If a student just wanted to sit back and casually drink a few beers with some friends while watching sports channels on a big screen television, then Clodfelter's bar was where they went. If they wanted upbeat dancing to the music of live-bands, then they headed to the Dragon's Den at Toa Yuen's. If students wanted to get a little rowdy with their friends in a western-style environment, then Murphy's Tavern they went to attend 'Mr. Bill's Travelling Trivia Show. on Thursday nights. For most OSU students, the popular time to attend the bars was durins For others, the night had an entirely different meaning: I don't have many classes the next day. so I like to go out on Thursday nights and try to forget about school. said Robert Stahle. junior in engineering. Much to the delight of the frequent bar-goer, the Old Museum reopened to serve the community, McMenaniins was also an addition to the many bars in the area. They specialized in Micro-brew beer and had a comfortable setting for both family and friends. With all the bars in Corvallis, students had their favorites an made sure they attended regularly and had their fill of fun. —Bryan Seiis 28 Bar Scene
