As a 22 year old it is well expected that a bouncer will ask for your ID and give it a good hard look. Not look at all other 10 forms of ID, accuse you of stealing someone's identity, tell you that the ID that you do have is your older sister's who doesnt exist. And then take it to the point that you have to call the police so that you can even keep your driver's license. There were over 25 people in the bar who could vouch for the identity. It ended up that the bouncer was so rude that it made my friend cry. The police came and vouched for her identity and the bouncer didn't even appologize. This is not the first time that the staff seems to be on a power trip. If you are loking for friendly staff, this is not the place. It is a dive bar where you leave feeling dirty. It is a common place for sketchy people to come for a cheap drink. If you are looking to frequent the bars on University Way there are many others that offer cheap drinks and a good atmosphere. Try Finn MacCools, Irish Emmigrant, Dantes, The Duchess etc... Fremont is also very close and so much more fun!

• Pros: Strong drinks, but mostly ice, so it's deceiving
• Cons: The staff seems to be on a power trip

This is definitely your stereotypical dive bar. It's rather dark and dingy, with lots of neon lights, and virtually no one is dressed up. You pay the cook in cash in the back and the garlic fries come in a massive platter and are to die for! You have to be especially wary of how many drinks you consume because one will have a powerful effect on even the most seasoned drinker. I have to be extra careful as I have no tolerance to alcohol! Earl's is known for its potent Long Islands which are virtually clear and bright blue AMFs--all of their drinks are extremely cheap as well. It's a great place for college students to hang out and play pool or just to meet others in the same age range.

• Pros: crowded and long line at the bar
• Cons: Amazing garlic fries and the most drink for your money
