Places we ate, drank, went backstage, etc.

Quann hit many of the spots of my 00-04 era. Can still taste the greese from Bell's some 23 years later.

Monkey bar brutal
How about Chicago Pizza across from Southwest, close but brutal.

I was always a big fan of the China Dynasty on Route 9. Many others preferred Amherst Chinese or Panda East

Chicago Pizza was one of my favs Preecher, a definite hidden gem. The large buffalo chicken calzone could feed 3 of us, so good.

China D was a great spot and the old China Inn next to Antonio's had some of the strongest Scorpion Bowls I've ever had. If you had two, you were on your way to a good night.

the china inn... a legend..

We went to McMurphys after the Hanger Saturday. Got uptown around 5:30 and there were about 10 people at the bar. By 8:00 it was packed and there were lines at Stackers, Monkey Bar, and The Spoke.

How does a school with 27k students have only 4 small bars downtown? Is this the new normal? Where does everyone party these days? Seems kind of crazy to go out at 8:00 on a weekend night to wait in line for hours just to get in somewhere.

Yep, been like that for awhile now.

I can confirm that IV knows where McMurphys is located.

I didn’t see IV yesterday but there is still a picture of him and I hate URI-ne framed touching the World Series trophy at the Mullins Center. Look for it next time you are there.

Still can't believe the Pub is gone and not having Barsie's there still stings.

I'll add Charlie's, which morphed into Olde Towne Tavern to that list.

A new spot is opening in the former Savannah's location next to the Hangar:
