The Seven Fifty is more than just a campus bar - it’s a chill lounge and a cozy venue for comedians and bands alike. More of a lounge than a bar, it offers students decent beer and good entertainment in their backyard.

Students enjoy a free comedy show during Comedy Night at the 750 Pub.

The Seven Fifty has an eclectic selection of beers and wines. Patrons will find Guinness and Seven Fifty on tap, and a small selection of bottled beers. The pub also offers mixed drinks made with Korean shoju, although the pub is not licensed to sell hard liquor. Wine connoisseurs can bring their own bottle, but there is a $10 corkage fee.

The menu includes some interesting choices, including tasty mozzarella triangles, salads and chicken marsala. It’s the first bar I have been to where they pass out a beeper to alert you of the status of your order. The pub also offers a catering service.

The best thing about the pub, however, is its location on campus. Students can drink as much as they want and walk back to their residence, without having to wait to sober up. Although the Graduate Student Center is a bit sterile, the bathrooms are clean and the couches are comfortable. Students will find a pool table in the back and two plasma TVs stationed around the small seating area. The relaxed atmosphere makes the pub a nice place to hang out with friends on a Saturday night and watch college football.

Every Tuesday night, the pub invites local comedians to take the stage. On Thursdays, it showcases a local band. Last spring, the pub remained open during finals week to show the World Cup, a decision applauded by many students.

The pub opened on June 8 of last year. The Havana room, located next to the pub, is frequently rented by students for events. n
