Shamrock Towing... thanks for reminding me, Folonator... those bastards got me at least ten times... i remember once i parked my car in a little lot off Pearl Alley, and literally walked 12 steps over to my buddy's place on Chittenden to ask if it was cool there... he said nope, and by the time i walked back- no more than ONE MINUTE later, there went my car around the corner... BOY WAS I PISSED!!! fargin bastiges!
Campus partners ruined South High... the last time i was back there, i didn't even recognize the place... took me all the way up to the Newport before it started looking familiar again... but then again, most of those bars were dumps... it's just kinda sad when i hear a song on the radio, and it reminds me of Sunday Nights at Coeds drinking pitchers of swill for $1 and some chick who i can't really even remember except for the fact that i hooked up with her, only to think that those places don't even exist anymore...
BOO!!!!!!!!!!!

What is a Buckeye?
Yeah, well, last week, my friend has organized the Amature Comedy night at the union. Guest judging was Andy Dick, Colin Quinn and Tracy Morgan. Colin and Tracy went to 4 kegs afterwards, and obviously drew a larger crowd. They were quoted as saying something to the effect of "Damn, you guys know how to party on a Wednesday f*cking night!!!!"strohs said:

Not clear if anything other than the name was given before --High Lonesome said:
Still The "Weck" was a large bun with onion baked into the top.
Popular in Upper NY State, Wecks dind't travel well.
Hence, no more Weck, just BW3.
Still have some of the best wings anywhere, a great beer selection, and generally good sports TV.

I have to reply to this thread since I wanted to about 5 times.
First of all weck is the type of bread BW3's serves burgers on. It has since changed to Buffalo Wild Wings since no one knew what the heck weck was. The BW3's on campus IS the original BW3's. B Dubs started in Columbus, not Kent.

There used to be a second one on South campus but it shut down.
There is at least one bar on campus at the Ohio Union, but I believe there is a 4 beer max. There also used to be one at the Union by the towers, but I think it is gone. I could be wrong on these facts. Been a while since I even thought about going to one of these establishments.
Yes, there are still many bars left (BTW, it's Out 'R' In on Frambes), but many of the South bars that got nailed for underage drinking are gone. I went to school from 93-98 and saw the whole Campus Partners litigation in action. Essentially, they are a group that was formed in order to clean up the sleazy South Campus bars (for Texas people, it's not actually on campus but right across the street). They got the city to start enforcing underage drinking laws more strictly. Once a bar got too many violations the city would revoke their liquor liscense (a few actually tried to stay open with no alcohol, they lasted about a month). The city would also prevent new liquor liscences in the area. This left it wide open for Campus Partners to come in and buy the property cheap. The few descent establishments sold out for a decent profit.
Finally, HINEYGATE! It's a pre, during, and post party. It gets packed after the game. Still fun during the game since you can watch the game on a huge Jumbotron and drink a few cold ones at about $3 per beer. I now live in Michigan, and every year a bunch of my buddies and myself trek down for a game just to hit Hineygate. Most of them don't even like Ohio State, but they love the party (no Michigan fans allowed, but I enjoy the Sparties...they is good people). Although since the 2003 year the party has toned down. Prior to 2003 open container was allowed on the streets and even campus. They have cracked down big time. Still a great time, but there was nothing like hanging out on Lane Avenue with a 12 pack and partying.
Well, there's my 2 cents and then some. For any visitors, it's still a great time. Despite some rumors, most Ohio State fans are rather fun to party with. Well, unless you wear Blue and Corn. In that case you may get random beating for no reason.

I don't know much about the past, as my first year in Columbus was 2002.stxbuck said:
Having said this, I can attest that there was a noticible difference as to the partying on lane between 2002 and 2003. 2002 was like, mega-crazy block party on the whole stretch of lane, for every game. 2003 was totally cracked down upon by the cops.

I had wondered this a few weeks ago, as I had heard the first was at tOSU.
So I emailed them, through their website asking if that was the case.
This is the response I got....
"The very first one was at Kent State on 227 Franklin. It is still there!"

Nope, Scott was right! In fact when B-dubs first opened around 80-81-82 at the Frambes location it lasted about six months, then it closed. For what reason I do not know. It reopened about six months later and the rest is history. The location in Kent may have been the one that "stuck" first and with the capital from that one they could afford to reopen the site off of High Street.strohs said:

Just think about it...If you were B-Dubs would you admit that the first time you opened it failed miserably and I do mean miserably. Nobody went there and I can't tell you why not. Perhaps it was bad marketing, no name recognition, no liquor license, I honestly do not remember. I do know when they reopened they did a better job introducing themselves to the student population. Word of mouth took it from there.....
