ourselves on providing an atmosphere nobody else has here in Lawrence."
Only open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, the bar has a tendency to get crowded, making it hard to move around, said Marisa Reongopongdit, a senior from Chicago.
"I don't like the lines at Tonic or the prices of the drink, but the music is cool. Its a good mix between old school songs and new stuff," she said. "And its a great venue. I like that it has lounges inside and outside and four different bars, so you never have to wait too long."

FATSO'S
The bar has a stage for live music or DJs and budget-friendly drink prices that make it a popular student spot on Wednesdays and weekends.
"I love Long Islands and they always have them on special," said Lindsay Granthan, a senior from DeSoto, who feels like the bar's casual atmosphere is more fun for a night out with friends than a dressier bar like Tonic.
Peter Ciurej, a senior from Omaha and a bartender at Quinton's, said all the bars on Massachusetts Street, including Quinton's, Tonic and Fatso's, benefit from being close together on one of the city's most popular streets.
"People like to be on Mass. Street because of the variety of bars they can go to," he said. Regardless of where people might start their night, they're likely to visit a few other bars, Ciurei added.
IN ALL NIGHT
While partying may seem like a natural extension of college, some students choose to opt out because they lack the interest or ability to get into bars.
"I don't drink at all, so I've never been to a bar in Lawrence," said Taylor Balis, a junior from Naperville. III. She prefers to stay in or go out with friends to dinner.

"I don't have a fake ID or money. And I work at night until 3 a.m. at the front desk of a dorm," said Primovic.
To Matt Primovic, a sophomore from Akron, Ohio, age is a barrier
Thom Browne, a junior from Topeka, has never been one to go out at night because he is underage and does not want to use a fake. And even though he will soon celebrate a birthday, Browne said he still will not be frequenting popular student bars.
"I'll be at the Tap Room for soul night," said Browne.

Blagojevich's sentencing delayed
CHICAGO — A federal judge on Monday indefinitely delayed next week's scheduled sentencing for Rod Blagojevich on multiple corruption convictions, apparently because it would have conflicted with the start of a related trial of a longtime Illinois powerbroker who raised money for the former governor.
In a three-sentence notice posted electronically, U.S. District Judge James Zagel in Chicago did not offer any reason for cancelling Blagojevich's Oct. 6 sentencing, saying simply that it has been "stricken until further order by the court."
Defense attorney Sheldon Sorosky cited the Oct. 3 start of the corruption trial of William Cellini, which Zagel is also presiding over.
