5. Old Town Draught House

This is a really nice chill bar. It's usually on the quieter side, until the college kids get there for late night. The crowd always seems to be under control and well behaved and the bartenders are very friendly. After 2 or 3 visits everyone is generally on a first name basis.

This is the best place near campus to have a brew. Not only do they have a wide selection of imports and domestics, but they also feature freshly brewed draughts from Natty Greene's brewery uptown. The food is good and the crowd is a nice mix of college and neighborhood.
