he numbers are in! Students voted Fred’s as the top LSU bar to visit when you’re feeling thirsty. Recently celebrating it’s 30year anniversary, Fred’s is officially the oldest bar in Tigerland. So what keeps the crowds rolling in? For one, Fred’s holds annual events such as their Mardi Gras Blowout, crawfish boils, spring and summer invitational and a golf tournament to get to know their customers all to keep the patrons loyal. Friday nights prove to be a big hit with free top shelf drinks from 8-10 p.m.
“I enjoy their Friday nights the best. Particularly for the free top-shelf drinks and the $5.50 crown, it makes my nights a lot cheaper,” said first-year law student, Michael Ishee. However, drink specials are not a onenight event at Fred’s, they have different specials for every night of the week. It also has ladies’ night on Thursdays from 8-10 p.m. and free cover for ladies until midnight. If Fred’s isn’t the place for you, all the bars of LSU have drink specials for you to start the night off right. Want to stay in Tigerland? Reggie’s has its famous and dangerous fifty-cent shot nights as well as ladies’ night and Greek night on Thursdays. Across Nicholson road,
Bogie’s is hosting their ladies’ night on Saturday until ten. They also have the popular penny pitchers on Tuesdays from eight to ten, but you still don’t have to end your night of specials then. If you’re tight on cash, head over the tracks to JL’s for two dollar wine night. Put on your Thursday night’s best, boys and girls, and head to Tigerland. Whether it is ladies night, free drinks or just another chance to drown your mistakes from the previous night, there are plenty of bars guaranteeing you’ll have a great time.
