What People Are Saying About Goodbar

The Scene – Co-eds jockey for position at two downstairs bars. Folks looking for a more chilled-out vibe juggle drinks while trying to head to the back for DJ spins and a more lounge-heavy atmosphere. Colorful murals and totally mod paintings brighten up the space formerly occupied by Deacon Brodies, a popular Wisconsin alumni hangout. An upstairs bar provides additional drinking space for the uninitiated--when it's not rented for private parties, that is (it does brisk business). There's also a large patio up there for starry evenings year-round. – – The Draw – Expect…

Have some fun with 18 year olds.

This was one place I always hated coming to. Everything is overpriced, and it takes quite some time to get a drink. I do remember them having an all-you-can-drink deal (I don't remember it lasting long, but you could get mixed drinks), which earned it the one star I'm giving it. The crowd is usually a bunch of "macho dudes" who are often starting fights inside the bar or out front after being kicked out by overly aggressive and rude bouncers. I also think about 50-60% of everyone in the bar is usually underage (there were always a lot of highschoolers there when I was a sophomore in college), so the younger you are, the better. The DJ is usually pretty good, and the bonus of a stripper pole in the back is always appreciated since drunk gals can't seem to resist the thing, which earns it another star.
- Pros: Usually dressed-up, good looking crowd. Music is alright. Stripper pole. Great place to drunkenly meet people of the opposite gender.
- Cons: Expensive, crowded, huge "bro" scene, young highschool popularity-contest feeling.

Local place for the local students

If you want to find the local depaul students on a monday night, goodbar is the spot. Cheap drinks, but no lights. Crowded, which could go either way. Not much room to dance, so go to drink, and yell at the people your with. All in all though, not a bad hangout.
- Pros: music, deals
- Cons: crowd, line
