For anyone who is here, on the way, or has been here before, what are some of the best bars to run into other LSU fans. Thanks

We saw a bar across the street from the stadium we were thinking about heading too, not sure about the name of it, but they have an outdoor patio and orange and blue balloons lining the patio..... By the way have you seen the hugh banner near the stadium??

The Swamp across the from stadium is solid from what I can remember when I was there.

The Blue Oyster. Never been their myself, but my cousin, Tim Tebow, loves that place.

Someone my bf just talked to said they are all going to Gator City Grill, he said LSU fans take that over starting tonight.

Is that in the same area as the swamp?

UF student here.
It depends what you're looking for. The Swamp really isn't a bar, IMO. It's got a bar, but it's also a big restaurant. Also, it's a lot nicer than most places on University and the drinks are more expensive. Just west of there is a big plaza full of lots of bars: Gator City, Copper Monkey, Balls, Grog, Salty Dog, etc. These are a bit more of the college crowd. It has cheaper drinks but are more of the hole-in-the-wall type places and are a lot smaller. So...
The Swamp = if you want the nicest bar-type place near the stadium. You'll find more of an older crowd (with students as well) and you'll pay higher drink prices. It is also the most packed place on University so it's ridiculously hard to get a table.
Gator City = pretty large place. It actually has two bars/rooms. This is actually my favorite place. It's got pool tables and a bunch of other bar-games in the back with the 2nd bar.
Grog = This place usually has some of the cheapest drinks (even free beer sometimes). There are only a few tables though and this place can get pretty packed with college kids.
Balls = I think my bedroom is bigger than this place. And Balls is also pretty disgusting (no pun intended). Maybe check it out if you're bar hopping but I wouldn't make a night of it.
Salty Dog = Similar to Balls (next door) but bigger and not as disgusting. This place is pretty good and a lot of students like it and go there.
Copper Monkey = This place is around the corner from the other places and upstairs. But it's a pretty good place. They have good drink prices usually and they've got quite a few tables. It can get pretty packed at times (but so can all of them).

We're at gator city. There are some LSU fans here, but we are growing in numbers. We could use more.
