Restaurants/Local Eateries that I like:
Fargo's: 2nd best BBQ joint in Texas according to Texas Monthly
Freebirds - Monster Burritos that you make yourself. On Northgate.
La Bodega - Great Baja tacos and tex-mex on Northgate.
Cafe Eccell - A little higher end, but wonderful food and award winning desserts on Northgate.
Kyoto Sushi -- Northgate
Atami Sushi -- University Drive
Antonio's Pizza - Boston Style Pizza on Northgate
Zapatos on Northgate -- Trash Can Nachos.... nuff said
Fuego -- 24 hour taco service -- drunk food, but wonderful, lots of tail running around here at 3 am.
Republic Steakhouse -- If you want an expensive dinner but really good steak, try here.
C & J's BBQ -- Texas BBQ
Rudy's BBQ -- See above
Koppe Bridge -- Best Burgers in town and the beer is ICE cold
Cafe Capri -- Higher end, but great
Christophers -- Higher end like Republic and an intimate atmosphere

Bars (most on Northgate):
Corner Bar -- 3 story bar with a rooftop bar on Northgate
Dixie Chicken -- Staple of Northgate that sells an *** ton of beer per square foot (Northgate)
Dry Bean Shot Saloon -- 250 shots on menu (Northgate)
Schotzi's -- Live Music outside and inside on Northgate
Zapatos -- Live Music on the porch, good margaritas on Northgate
Barber Shots -- Shot bar next to Zapatos on Northgate
Daisy Dukes -- Dancing, young college girls in basically nothing on Northgate
OBannons -- Irish Pub with 100 beers available on Northgate
Paddock Lane -- Low key, good service on Northgate
Tipsy Turtle -- Daquiri Bar New Orleans Style on Northgate
Fitzwillys -- two story live music venue, cheap drinks on Northgate
Duddleys Draw -- Front and back porch with cheap drinks
The Ranch -- Rooftop Bar
315 Shot Bar -- Like Dry Bean on Northgate
Madhatters -- 80s bar with a back porch and tall beers on Northgate
Basil Whippets -- Apothecary Lounge (two story) on Northgate
Logans -- Sports bar with 44 oz. beers on Northgate
V Bar -- more greek crowd, dancing
Gatsbys -- dancing, small (on Northgate)
Hookah Lounge -- hookah bar that serves booze on Northgate
Cedar Lane -- New bar with plenty of outdoor seating and an interesting "wake me up" drink that will make you forget 10 minutes ago.
Rebel Draft House -- New draft house right next to Cedar Lane with 59 beers on tap and all the Abita beers
Hurricane Harrys -- Country Dancing on Northgate
The Tap -- my favorite bar not on Northgate (Harvey Road)... cheap drinks, good food
Fox and Hound -- Tons of beers on tap on University Drive
Carneys -- On South College on Bryan/College Station Line
Downtown Bryan -- 4 or so bars in a revamped Downtown that has live Music most every night and good eating as well. About 20 minutes from campus.

Yes Rebel Draft House is the LSU bar and will have LSU flags flying from it.

They have 59 beers on tap and Abita Turbodog, Abita Amber, Abita Purple Haze and Abita Andygator.

You'll find the normal idiotic responses on here from people that have likely never even stepped foot in College Station, but you'll find that it's about the same as most other smaller college towns.

The Dixie Chicken is a good place to grab a beer...other than that, it's the usual suspects for food and whatnot.

I had a decent enough time in College Station when I went for the UF/A&M game.

Whatever you do, don't walk on the grass. They are super sensitive about that shite.

No we aren't... another myth. There's one 20 x 20 plot on campus that is a memorial that have one sign that says to avoid the memorial grass.

Other than that, there are tons of tailgaters spread out across grass on our campus.

Thanks.

We hit up Freebirds last time I was there. Good stuff. Northgate is fun too, but watch out if you're underage. The cops there don't play around.

Cops aren't bad in the bar, but if you're puking or passed out around Northgate, they will book your arse for anything and everything.

And that has changed, quite a bit.

In fact, after the game Saturday, you'll be invited to go down onto Kyle Field and watch the press conferences on the Gigatron. You can take your kid and throw a ball around, etc.
