The Max, DC's, and Flixx
Postby nittanylionstorm07 »
I've only lived here since late June, but I include been to all three. Â The max was originally my favorite because it seemed easier to meet people, since each bar had its own clientele...but since I establish a group of friends, it's changed. Â I really, really, really like the atmosphere at DC's, but the several times I've gone there in the past 2 months, it seems as if it is on death's doorstep (though they contain great beer prices and selection...yay Pacifico!), so Flixx seems the best option right now with the right mix of people.

Once it was announced that the building an
