Cheapest Place to Get a Drink
Barking Spider
College Prowler Take
Off-campus parties and frat parties are student favorites, especially for students not of drinking age. The most convenient club and bar location is Coventry, but many students, owners of legal and non-legal IDs, expand their horizons to downtown Cleveland. For a 20-minute, $20 cab ride, Case students can hit up the Flats and the Warehouse District in downtown Cleveland, although the area doesn’t really cater to college students. As for the raging weekend-long party scene, there is naught to mention. But Cleveland is by no means as young-person friendly as other large cities such as New York or Chicago. The nightlife scene is not geared toward college students so most students find entertainment and nightlife nearer to campus. Students who come to Case have an understanding prior to enrollment, that Case is almost the farthest thing from a party school. Those without this understanding have been known to either acquire a renewed appreciation for studiousness, or to have become transfer students. That is not to say that there are no parties at Case, they’re just not as numerous as, say, the number of students that at any given time are playing Warcraft. Social interaction comes in many forms here, nightlife in its purest, rowdiest form does not happen to be one of them. The bottom line is that if you’re looking for social stimulations, you’ll find it. If you’re waiting for it to find you, look into downloading Warcraft. Students Speak Out

Parties on campus can be fun dry or wet. Most of the people drink responsibly when alcohol is present so that parties tend to be a good social outlet and typically don’t get too wild. |

Well, there’s actually a bar on campus. Every Wednesday night is ‘Spot Night’ where there is always some main attraction, usually a band or a comedian. People over twenty-one can drink and the beer is cheap. If you aren’t twenty-one but you make a couple friends, and you can still drink. That’s the way college works. |

The Flats is all right with clubs—basically you can only go Thursday night if you’re underage, except sometimes there are too many girls who look like they’re 15. |

I’ll warn you: if you are used to big-city clubbing, you might be disappointed by Cleveland nightlife. My roommate is from Boston and she said our clubs are too ‘laid back.’ I like the Spy Bar and the Funky Buddha personally. They get an older crowd. The Jungle is very popular, but it’s eighteen-and-over, so you have to deal with dippy high schoolers. |

The city closed most of the good bars that are close to campus, because they didn’t card at all. The Flats is a little seedy, but the clubs are fun and usually lax about carding. The Warehouse District is a little more upscale, but it is twenty-one-and-over and spots are pretty strict. |
Facts
Organization Parties
Many clubs and organizations rent out a restaurant or nightclub and throw private parties. Organizational parties are at full swing at the beginning of the school year and provide an abundant source of free food and entertainment.

This posh, Asian-themed nightclub is the epitome of hip. The Funky Buddha hosts some of the top DJs in the nation.

Case upperclassmen and graduate students are drawn to the comfortable atmosphere and convenient location. Unlike the rest of Coventry, this spot is more yuppie than hippie and features and extensive menu. The Winking Lizard 1852 Coventry Rd. Coventry (216) 397-8380
Somewhere between an Irish pub and a dive bar, Lincoln Park Pub is more popular among locals than students, but it’s still a decent place during happy hour, during which the pub serves up Irish drafts alongside Mexican beers. Lincoln Park Pub 2609 W 14th St. (216) 621-2240

Tucked behind Arabica Coffeehouse and just footsteps away from North side dorms, the Barking Spider is a popular spot for Case students to sip imported beer, listen to live music, and just chill outside on the picnic benches and absorb the artistic ambience. The Barking Spider Tavern 11310 Juniper Rd. North side (216) 421-2863
What to Do if You're Not 21
From live music, to comedy shows, to open-mic nights, there is always something going on at night. If you don’t see what you like, tell the student-run University Program Board (UPB) and they can probably make it happen. The Spot/Leutner Commons (216) 368-2438
