Friday night we decided to meet and have dinner and drinks at this South Bend incarnation of BW3. It’s b-dubs, right? It’s a known factor, like knowing that a McDonalds pretty much anywhere is going to roughly be the same. And same it was. It was almost identical to the BW3 we’ve known and loved in East Lansing. Except for it being virtually empty the whole night on a Friday(!!). Except for last call being at 12:30 and the place closing down at 1am. Except that they had never heard of a Buffalo Bowl. Except for them not having Red Bull and Jager Bombs being made instead with “Full Throttle” engergy drink. Except for the rent-a-cop marshalling us out exactly at 1. Except for Labatt’s Light not being on tap. We’re not that far south, are we? Except for the Buffalo Zoo being apparently a whole lot stronger than normal. Ok, I guess that one’s a good thing, right? They did have some drink specials, and the food was the usual fare.
Don’t get me wrong, it was definitly a good time, and we should defitely go back for a game or something. It just seemed like this BW3 was more of a sportsbar/restaurant where families can go where they serve beer, instead of the local watering hole. Its funny how they managed to even bastardize b-dubs. It still gets my approval, though, and I can’t wait until the next place in my quest for the greatest hangout in the South Bend area!
