Its okay, but obviously its going to depend on your personal POV. First off they omitted Logan's, which is weird considering its probably the busiest bar on the corner on weekend nights. I like it because it has the biggest mix of all sorts of people. Also, I'll add that IMO Brother's is far from "all greek", the new O'Connells is a disappointment compared to the one on Lindsey, and Seven 47 is stiflingly pretentious.

I think Brother's has tremendous potential, maybe even more potential considering the growth happening on the west side of campus corner (Iron Starr and ITR). It is such a letdown though; the place is just not well kept. It has a really neat setup with its patio that is really unparalelled in Norman, but it is its own worst enemy. It really needs to reinvent itself.

Pretty poor writing, but after taking a look at the rest of the website that is really no surprise.

I thought the bars of Stillwater sounded more interesting than Norman's.

been in most of the long existing locations. They read almost plain jane enough to think an undergrad wrote the text so mundane the parents wouldn't want to check any of them out

Does anyone know why they always seem to keep the temperature inside Logans a cozy 58 degrees? I always forget to pack the heavy coat and can't stay there for long. Library has a great patio but has had TERRIBLE service lately. O'Connells has had terrible service for as long as I can remember (both locations). Coach's beer is seriously overrated. Sheesh I'm too negative today! I look forward to trying Iron Starr and McNellies, particularly if they have Coop and Choc beers on tap.

As unGodly high as my electric bill would be in the summer if I tried to keep my house at 58, I don't see how any business could afford to do it.

I was at The Library after the game yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed the great beers on tap and wonderful mini pizzas they have. We also ordered a cheese plate that was excellent, lots of different types plus wheat crackers, carrots and pickled okra. For a west campus neighborhood bar with good beer (and wine) and good food the Library is hard to beat.

Eh, all I can say is each of the last 2 times I've gone our table's beer glasses were sitting empty for 15 or 20 minutes at a time. That's a cardinal sin for a bar in my book! Maybe I'll give them another try some time.

Awesome web site! as an aficionado of racist fraternity crap, OldRow.com gets an a+ in my book. And it makes the ommission of Logans that much more puzzling.

Brothers has had potential since day 1... However, it has had no updating since I was last there(14 year)... I was in this last Saturday(Baylor) and it looks like the exact same dump

Hit the nail on the head.
