Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Temple students can find a frat party any day of the week. Organizations throw parties on a weekly basis for a few dollars. For good bars, Old City, Manayunk, and Center have a wide selection. The Draught Horse (pronounced "Draft") is located on campus at Cecil B. Moore on Broad Street. The Draught Horse has daily drink specials, karaoke night, live music, and great food. Security is tight, so have ID. Although Temple advertises itself as a dry campus, there is a bar situated in the center of campus called Maxi's. This is the bar to go to when you're watching a sporting event or getting a quick slice of pizza. As far as clubs, there definitely is an age group difference with the regular nights and the underage nights. However, different genres of music are played at these clubs on certain nights, so it’s up to the student to decide which is more important to his or her club atmosphere of choice: the company or the beats?

To make the best of the party scene, check out the parties thrown by students from different schools in the area. Faces might become redundant, but the music and atmosphere are better than any club or bar. It also makes your transportation needs a bit more reliable, since Temple has shuttle services. For those students under 21, the nightlife option is limited to just the house parties and whatever events different campus organizations have. Most students find this isn’t much of a problem, and anyone can be kept entertained by the amount of stuff on campus. It can also save you from spending a ton on transportation, cover charges, and drinks.

Dorm Parties Are Better

Although TU has great on campus security, off campus is scary at night. The best bet is to stay in the dorm if you want to throw a party. Its safer and cheaper than paying for cabs. There are plenty of on campus students to have fun with.

Parties

Great parties. There are frats and house parties. A lot of people have private parties in their apartments for friends only. Not a lot of parties in the dorms. Two bars on campus and easy access to the bars in the city via cabs and subway. Easy for underage people to get alcohol through older people, but all the bars card.
