8D THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN OFF THE HILL AUGUST 15,2005 Drinking cheap seven days a week As college students we face challenges daily. Not only are we required to pick and prepare for our future but we also have to juggle outside factors such as work, family and friends. If we are lucky enough to catch a break and find some downtime we're confronted with the harsh reality of a low-balance bank account So, what's a student working with meager means to do? Drink on the dime. Kansan staff writer Liz Nartowicz offers a day-by-day guide to specials around Lawrence to assist you in your consumption needs. Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Pitcher Perfect U-Call-It Everyone deserves some relaxation after a manic Monday of class or work, or both Jet Lag Lounge 610 Florida St., and Johnny's Tavern. 401 N. Second St., serve as your refuge. For only $4 you can split a pitcher with your buds at either establishment. Jet Lag provides a plentiful mix of people without the crowd. Johnny's Tavern has the down-home charm of Lawrence with its variety of patrons. Its best Monday appeal is its half-priced pizza after 5 p.m. The Jazzahus St, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St., steps up the average $1.50 U-Call-It specials by including premium liquors. It's hard to beat a $1.50 Crown and Coke. Besides the spectacular special, The Jazzahaus serves as a safe zone for a first date. If the candlelit, relaxed atmosphere doesn't reduce your jitters, the savings will. Margarita Ah, nothing helps turn up the heat on hump day like tequila. The best bets for low prices but high quality margaritas are at The Sandbar, 117 E. Eighth St., and either of the El Mezcalz, 804 Iowa St. and 1819 W 23 St. The Sandbar offers $2 8 oz margaritas and $2 Tecate cans while entertaining customers with its under-the-sea atmosphere. The Sandbar showcases a nightly show at 10 p.m. called "The Hurricane" where mermaiads dance on the bar and patrons are showered with confetti. Perfect for Jimmy Buffet fans. With a giant fish tank full of exotic fish in the background, drinkers can shoot darts or play Foosball. El Mezcal competes with its $2.49, 16 oz lime margaritas and authentic Mexican cuisine. O.D. Thursday reigns as king in the mass consumption category, with almost all establishments contending to be the ultimate dealmakers. Leaders among these bar battles are Louise's Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St., and The Cadillac Ranch, 2515 W. Sixth St. Louise's, with its $1.75 domestic schoolers and dim Food-Friendly Start the weekend off right with dinner and drinks. For tasty food and jumbo drinks, head to Bambino's Italian Café, 1801 Massachusetts St., for $3 fishbowl margaritas. Quinton's Bar & Grill, 615 Massachusetts St., also offers fantastic food and a $3.50 32 oz. Margarita special. Stay and watch the restaurant turn Super Two is the magic number, where $2 can get you practically anything, everywhere. Harbor Lights, 1031 Massachusetts St., boasts $2 Rolling Rocks and Henry T's Bar & Grill, 3520 W. Sixth St., has $2 any bottle. Liquid Nightclub, 806 W. 24th St., lays out $2 double wells while Mad Hatter Bar & Grill, 623 Vermont St., has $2 big beers. Bloody Sunday The hair of dog can be your best friend. Nurse yourself back to health at Louise's West, 1307 W. Seventh St., with the sweet deal of $2 Bloody Marys. Not a tomato lover? Not a problem. Louise's West offers $3 schooners and $2 Boulevard pints so that everyone can drink and be merry. Pop into Jackpot Saloon & Music Hall, 943 Massachusetts St., to try a new drink, Bulleit Horsefeather, an old-fashioned drink of Bulleit brand bourbon and ginger ale, to match the saloon atmosphere.
