  We visited Aggieland this past Fall and were excited to visit this pub again. The staff was still exceptional. There was still a lot of room. And the prices were still good. But I was sad to see that 2 years later this place had begun to transform into a mainstream college bar. The music was so, so loud; we couldn't hear ourselves talk. They stopped carrying the produce to make culinary drinks - no strawberries or basil or mint - because they said it would usually go bad since that's not what college folks order usually. And the fresh, new pub feeling had made way to a slightly club-like atmosphere. It's probably good for their business considering that cater to the early 20s who are still in college, but we'll probably not stop by again since the drinks I was most excited about don't exist anymore.

  Basil Whippet's Pub and Apothecary lounge now has new signs up that look cool.  Not sure what happened to my review and photos of opening night, both appear to be missing from Yelp.  
  
  Once again, we stopped by the night they opened and found the downstairs pub pretty much empty with the exception of two guys at the bar, and a few well endowed waitresses.  Apparently the dress code here has no reservations when it comes to prominently displayed and celebrated cleavage.  No complaints.  
  
  Upstairs at the Apothecary lounge (which was un-named at the time) we found an upscale crowd of well dressed people quaffing hard liquor in what reminded me of a New York City warehouse bar club.   Great view of Northgate and the campus from up here on the second floor.   Good times.
