Drinks are moderately priced, there is plenty of street parking, and the decor rocks. There are limited bathroom stalls but the restrooms were VERY clean. There was toilet paper and soap all night long, I don't think I've ever been to a cleaner rock venue. So happy about that! Cons:The stage is at a bit on an angle, so my friend on her wheelchair had trouble seeing even from the front row, but we were very happy the venue was wheelchair friendly.

Sadly, the crowd hasn't changed. The pizza that they serve - made by Guy's Pizza - is no better then the $3.99 2-pack of pizzas you buy at any conveninece store. No taste, bad sauce, and really sparse amount of toppings. I suppose if you're smashed out of your mind it's okay, but what isn't at that point. If you're in the mood to hang with the dredges of Lakewood, and listen to shitty cover bands....you'll love it!

We both sat at the bar but I did notice a few tables and chairs. He bought a Jack & Coke (Jack Daniels) and commented that it was good but a bit pricey. I didn't get anything since I don't drink alcohol (but you can find me sipping on white wine, once in a blue moon...haha). The bar itself is nice. It's a small bar. The staff is friendly. The vibes inside is cool - my friend and I spoke with two women while we were in there who were funny. As I entered just after 10pm, I noticed some band members leaving. It would be nice if Brothers Lounge had some live music for the late night crowd (between 10pm to 11:30pm).

Stumbling in after fourth meal; a good dose of quarter beers was always the perfect serenade or secret recipe for a useful break from studying. I miss the days when the DJ was never too cool to play your requested song. I miss PBR. I miss smelling like it after some guy, in attempting to score, doused it all over me. I miss scoring beer as a freshman. Of being a senior and scoring it for the under 21's., I miss losing a million and half things at the sko. I miss the townies, that would purposely bump into you. I miss the cage. I miss the Ricks, the Johns, and the Brads. I miss seeing half naked people crammed into the Sko, corsets, and thigh-highs in abundance. I miss it all. The hang-overs, the spills, the come-ons, and the hook-ups. The Sko is also home to some of the best concerts I have seen in awhile. It hosted amazing acts and for stellar prices- that still have me kicking myself as I throw out 20 dollars to see Eek a Mouse or the Black Keys here in SF. It's an Oberlin landmark.

And the club's official name is The Dionysus Disco but everyone calls it the 'Sco, and when I first got here, I was rather confused. It has a nice bar, with many wooden stools, and gives you the best view of the stage (this club isn't very big, so even if you sit by the bar, you have a great view of the stage). I got here rather early (an hour before the show started), and was able to loiter by the bar, have a few beers, and chat with the locals. They have 3 beers on tap: PBR, Great Lakes Dortnunder, and Rogue Dead Guy Ale. Since I didn't know if I would be back in this neck of the woods again, I tried the GLD, and did not regret it. Beer the way I like it: on tap, light, flavourful! But what really impressed me was the $1 PBR. You really can't top that price! They also had a huge selection of bottled beers, and also big beers including Avery The Reverend. I had a sip and wow it had a great hopping aftertaste and a 10% ABV. Needless to say, by the end of the night. my friends were pretty drunk. If I had gone to college here, I would be a barfly at the 'Sco! http://www.averybrewing.com/ http://www.oberlin.edu/stuorg/sco/home.html
