The Little Bar

This is a pretty nice campus bar, but I wouldn't personally want to go there on a weekend night during the school year. For some reason the crowd gets extremely tight in the walkway in front of the bar so that it's impossible to order a drink or get from the booths to the bathroom. In other areas (the booths or the patio) there is almost no crowd. On the weekdays it's nice and quiet. Also, the bathrooms are top of the line for a campus bar.

I only go here when other places are too crowded on game days.

I am not sure what is like on more sane occasions.

Fantastic place to tailgate! They have a  big projector that shows the game and a DJ that plays music during commercials. They also have a few additional outside bars that are super accommodating.  I've been here on a "regular" night and it's pretty relaxed.. nice little bar to hang out with friends. The drinks are pretty good, nothing to go crazy about.. but then again a suspect that they primarily serve beer. Definitely stop by for an OSU game at some point in your tailgating adventures.. you'll have a great time.
