Why A College Bar Is Also An Academic Mainstay

By Debra Wood


There are many towns in the nation that are recognized because they play host to good schools. These are the so called college towns or academic centers whose life has symbiotic relationships with the towns where they are found. Residents all have some connection to the institution of higher learning in these places and they mostly try to serve the needs of students.

Schools found in the southern part of the country offer historical reputations and really excellent training current for the times. The best of them include a place commonly known as Virginia Tech, which is a polytechnic and state university, the institution that college bar Blacksburg serves. This is one of the oldest and best engineering schools to be found anywhere in the country.

In the city the storied campus was founded through inherited properties of the Black family, specifically Samuel Black and his two sons John and William. The former inherited property that was to eventually become the Virginia Tech campus, while the latter got property that was later to become the downtown of modern Blacksburg. Both have bequeathed impressive places for students and residents today.

Any student in search of a place with excellent vibes for hanging out and having something to drink can find it here. Here, it is all about heady academic stuff aided by drinks, and many kinds of fun activities can be found. These are varied, from meeting members of the opposite sex, to simply hanging out with fraternity brothers or Friday night socials.

The typical bar will have mostly the same kind of prices as with most other competitors. It is not about exclusivity or being more posh than most that is important. The typical places have just enough regalia, decorative motifs and special equipment or decorations to make them stand out from others of their kind.

Some bars are where people go to for things like darts, a great thing to do while drinking. Other games can be found in most places, often dependent on what board games or playing sets people have left behind. There will certainly be cable TV or WiFi, and there are places which have sets permanently tuned to sports channels.

Bars may have some food on the menu, but this is an option reserved only for those in desperate need of something to eat. The prevailing spirit is for quaffing heroic quantities of alcohol even as the food items can be considered good enough local favorites. Students are known as Hokies here and they can be of any persuasion depending on what bar is patronized.

There are about a dozen or more of these places serving students in the downtown Blacksburg area. Some cater to varsity sports, especially those beloved by the crowds in Virginia Tech. Some others are the fratty types, with ritual things like covers and a welcoming drink that have strong alcoholic content.

Bars know the rhythms of student life, and they know when there is need for students to get drunk, and they accommodate for their fair share of rowdiness and pumped up personalities in search of fun. A lot of people are acquainted with folks all around, and it is no surprise that Blacksburg has the reputation of being a good town to live in.
