Louise's Bar Downtown

fun college bar. great college prices. Has 2 floors and nice patio areas on each floor...I didn't go to KU so I'm not sure which nights are the hot nights.  We went during my sister's graduation weekend, and it was busy each night we were there.

Great beer specials during the week, far better than anyone in town. I absolutely love a nice large schooner of Boulevard PIlsner.  This location is understandably a bit more trashy, and isn't exactly clean. but come on! It's a cheap college bar. What do you expect? I've been here more times than I can remember ( haha...), although I've reduced my visits since leaving college. Great place if you're in your early 20s.

The sad sister bar to Louise's West. A perfectly fine bar. I prefer to go there on weeknights when it's less crowded. There are good drink specials, some nights you can get schooners for $2.50!

This is an anecdote from a friend of a friend, so I can't really vouch... But my friend's friend used to be a bouncer there but quit because he "got tired of getting punched in the face on weekends", so that's something to think about...

The patio outside is really, really great and on weekends it's much better outside than in.
