The Contented Cow Pub & Wine Bar

As a student in Northfield, this bar was ideal as opposed to the others in town because they don't card at the door. As a freshman or sophomore, not yet 21, it stinks to not be able to go out with your upperclassmen friends... The Cow is great, because they only card at the Bar. So you can go, get sodas, snacks and enjoy your friends, or live music without the hassle of being carded and kicked out... Great location, usually easy street parking, and good drinks. Not the most reasonably priced drinks, I'd say, but that's because I'm from Texas and am used to drinks being between $2.50 and $4.00 ... Great outdoor section for summer nights!!!

BONUS: They have a free popcorn machine that makes the most delicious popcorn EVER.

Mediocre pub atmosphere. Overpriced beer ($6-6.50 for a decent draught) and okay selection. Unfortunately, this is kinda the only show in town for decent beers. It's a shame that their prices are so ridiculous.

The inside decor is fun and the service is friendly. We sat outside overlooking the river and enjoyed some nice live music. There are drink specials about all the time and popcorn for snacking. I will go back!
