Bier Stube

Great bar.  Total dive bar feel with very casual atmosphere and friendly staff, but they also have some great beer in addition to the dive bar staples.  I drank Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA (only 4 bucks on tap!) and my wife drank New Holland Dragon's Milk.  Fantastic old-school jukebox with some great jams--and cheap too.  Plenty of TVs with the NBA and NHL playoffs.  A fun place.

A relic.  The last of its kind from a time when south campus was a much more gritty and depressing place.  Bier Stube is THE dive bars of dive bars on OSU's campus.  

It's small - almost hidden.  It smells.  It's dark.  And has relatively small beer selection.

But it frequently has a good atmosphere.  It seems to have gotten a little more popular with select groups over recent years and that's a good thing.  There is nothing to be afraid of.  

As an alum, it's still one of the bars I feel ok going into during football weekends knowing I won't feel like a creepy old guy.  It's the last of a dying breed and connection between OSU's past and present.  I wish it many more years to come.
