7 crazy nights
The school year has started, the students have all settled in and there is one thing on most of their minds: "It's time to party."
London offers a wide variety of bars and pubs for students to quench their thirst, socialize and do what it is they came to college
for (am I right?} that it can be difficult to plan exactly where it is you want to go. With this in mind, here is your map to
the most boozy London week you can enjoy without breaking the bank.
Monday
CAREY'S
1569 Oxford St. E.
careysbarandgrill.com
No cover; half-priced wings; $1.60/oz beers; open mic
Located directly across the street from Fanshawe, Carey's Bar & Grill offers up the perfect place for students to kick off their week. Enjoy the half-priced wings, take in some live performances and, most importantly, enjoy all the $1.60 beers you can handle. This is easily the most popular night at the bar, so get there early and grab a table- your friends will thank you for it.
Tuesday
MOLLY BLOOM'S
700 Richmond St.
mollyblooms.ca
No cover; 30 cent wings; live music
Located in the heart of downtown, Molly Bloom's offers a cozy faux-Irish pub experience that offers a perfect opportunity for students and their friends to wind down with a couple of pints and classic pub food. A multitude of drinks and an extensive menu make this the perfect place for a more relaxing evening when compared to what else is on offer. Live music helps to authenticate the experience and create a welcoming, friendly atmosphere.
Wednesday
JACK'S
539 Richmond St.
facebook.com/JacksLdn
No cover; $2 beers
This is one of the most consistently crowded parties in the city. A Wednesday night at Jack's offers two totally different experiences: each of the bar's two levels offers a unique playlist with a great dance floor to get down on. Students can let loose and see out Hump Day in a flood of $2 beers. No cover and cheap drinks mean that come midnight, this bar is full and lively week in, week out- a great place to bring a group of friends to dance all your cares away.
Thursday
THE OUT BACK SHACK
Student Union Building
fsu.ca/obs
Pub Night; $3 to $5 cover; variety of themed nights and drink specials throughout the year
After two nights spent travelling downtown for various festivities, students can leave their bus passes and cab fare in their pockets and head down to Fanshawe's very own Out Back Shack. While it remains a popular spot for lunch, dinner and beers after (or before) class, it opens its doors each Thursday in order to host a series of pub nights. Past themes have included Tight 'n Bright, Bob Marley, and Wild West, each with its own set of drink specials, and many were sold-out events in the 2012/13 school year. With any cover charges going to the Student Union, or the program hosting that event, the Thursday night pubs offer a perfect place for students to party together, while giving back to the school.

Friday
JIM BOB RAY'S

The ultimate Friday night party spot, Jim Bob's devotes itself to playing the most popular in current dance, hip-hop and RnB music, all in a quaint log cabin setting.

There's plenty of sitting room and a spacious dance floor so you can find your comfort zone no matter what you're into.
Saturday
THE BARKING FROG

Two rooms, two floors and a large outdoor patio/bar make The Barking Frog the best bet for students who want to dance their Saturday night away.

Sunday
