  It's a bar.  Nice beer selection, well-rounded liquor selection, live music Friday and Saturday, big screen tv, great atmosphere.  It's a college bar, stop being a wuss.

  The best bar in Socorro. Doesn't say much I know, but everyone keeps coming back, so it must be good. The bartenders are great and will definitely take care of you.
  
  Beer and drinks are cheap, and they know what they are doing.
  
  Wed it'll get crowded cause its College night, but every college town has a college night, so thats no  surprise. Fri the week is out so it gets a little crowded, but really its never that bad.
  
  They also have an awesome patio that you can enjoy, and they have heat lamps out during the winter for the smokers.
  
  And once you get to know the bartenders they'll let you take control of the tvs, or they'll put on something if you ask.

  Sort of a dive bar, crowd is a mix of eccentric townies (Socorro is a strange town with a lot of strange people) and college students from local school New Mexico Tech..  Really old building, verging on historic, kind of interesting in that way.. Crowd gets kind of wild and uninhibited sometimes..

  This review intended mainly for IRTB students.
  
  Well... actually, not bad. Not great, but not terrible. Down and dirty place to go at night. Walking distance from most hotels (we did from the Holiday Inn Express). Wednesday is "Tech" night, which is essentially "college" night with a DJ. The place is pretty old, has a lot of cool photos on the wall, and a lot of patches. Bring your own to add to the collection.
  
  Pros - Open past 10. Cheap beer, both draft and bottles, and a good selection of both, Full bar, Popcorn, Smoking Patio, Pool Tables, Tv's with games on, inexpensive, On Wednesday there is a free shuttle after midnight. IRTB friendly.
  
  Cons - Draft beer tasted... off. They need to clean their lines,  DJ seemed to have an overabundance of 70's music (maybe the new music hasn't reached here yet??).

  The place smells like a musty locker room. No matter how much you drink, the stench is overwhelming. They need to locate the source of this noxious odor and eradicate it!
