...providing a common space for students to relax and hang out, study or socialize, is a strict booze-up venue. Its limited opening hours—only Friday and Saturday evenings this semester (and Wednesday through Sunday evenings next fall)—mean that the “Pub?? inevitably only ever attracts the rowdy late-night drinking crowd, as opposed to the stressed student, (probably under the drinking age), looking for a place to study or relax with friends. Fortunately there’s an easy fix: open its doors during...
...current plan was modeled too heavily on Loker’s old 2005 “Pub Nights,” which featured live music, cheap food and drink, and was a fun place to party. Those events are valuable, but they shouldn’t be the pub??s raison d’être. The Queen’s Head has simply become the backdrop for such nights, albeit more frequently than in 2005.

The live music helped to make last weekend an unqualified success, as one hopes it will continue to do for years to come. But this discussion must reach for loftier climes and address the Pub??s lifeblood: its beer. The bar serves Harpoon IPA, Guinness, and Bud Light, among others, in two-dollar pints. Also on tap is house beer Harpoon 1636, which project manager Zachary A Corker ’04 rightly referred to as a “truly ambrosial brew...
