New Places to Drink Before and After Games

Looks like you'll have other options besides a packed Lindy's Red Lion and Froggy Bottom if you want to do pre- and post-game boozing. Tonic, located at 21st and G (the Quigley's building, formerly Geography department HQ) got its liquor license, serving beer and wine, and and the WOW Wingery, located in the Hippodrome on the 5th floor of the Marvin Center, will get its in a few weeks.

There's also a Tonic in Mt. Pleasant, and that one is a cool place, so I expect this location will be similar. The Foggy Bottom location has 10 beers on tap and plan to add 2 more. And they have a pretty excellent happy hour from 5 to 7 p.m., consisting of half-price draft beers, $5 wine and 50-cent Buffalo wings. If that doesn't scream pre-game meal, I don't know what does.

WOW is a grilled food place and will have beer too. I'm glad to see actual bars going in on campus. It's almost like GW is a real college now.

"It's almost like GW is a real college now" - what a stupid thing to say! Are you actually a Colonial? GW has its own unique character... if you don't appreciate it, than shut up!

First off anonymous, it should be "then shut up" not "than shut up." Secondly, a lot of colleges have bars on campus, and GW didn't, which was unfortunate. Considering we don't have a green campus like a lot of schools, it's good to see more traditional college stuff, like bars, come to campus.
