So who has a tailgate that would allow some Rutgers fans to come drink with them???
Fellas can I get a bar recommendation to visit in Evanston?
- Thread starter RUskoolie
- Start date
Likely most everyone, we are not hostile folks, this is Evanston after all. BYOB and other treats and you will certainly be welcome. East and west lots (on both sides of the stadium) or on north campus. Please be aware of FootballPhil, if you are not respectful, your experience will not be pleasant.
Walker Bros definitely rocks. But if you go there, give extra time. I have never been there when the line wasn't out the door, and the wait at least 20 minutes.

I don't know what the heck St Paul is talking about. I know exactly what's going to happen - we're going to get hammered by RU. I don't expect the bye week to make much difference.
So don't spend too much time fussing about where to eat... even if that doesn't go very well, you're probably going to LOVE the game.
Looks like you got what you needed but I will give you a few more suggestions of places that I like in Evanston

- Ridgeville Tavern (Old Bar Louie) - Good Bar OK food (Downtown Evanston)
- Ten Mile House - Small Bar area - Good Food BBQ (Central St near Stadium)
- Five & Dime - Roof top Bar with Good food (Downtown Evanston)
- Temperance Beer Tap room - Good Beer (Micro Brewery) - Off Dempster west of Dodge (SW Evanstion)
- Blue Stone - Small Bar area Good Food (Central St near Stadium)

Boy, if that's the case, we've come along way from "Expect Victory" in a very short time.
For fast food I would mention Buffalo Joe’s. Good wings, and an Evanston institution since the early 80’s. Downtown Evanston.
And of course another institution is Col. Mustard’s adjacent to the stadium. Very long line on game day but it has to be mentioned.
Sarkis about 3-4 miles west of the stadium. A dive diner type place have The Disaater. They open early.

I don't know what the heck St Paul is talking about. I know exactly what's going to happen - we're going to get hammered by RU.
Ok, I admit I was just spouting my frustration, mainly with the two facts that:
1) our D was so indescribably and disgustingly horrible against Nebraska,
2) which was after we were only regular horrible in most of the first four games... and it was only rational for most of us to expect that changes would be made for Nebraska to get us back on the track we know we're capable of. Somehow, the opposite happened. We actually played MUCH worse.
So yes, now we've had the bye week. Surely Fitz really did use the bye week to legitimately shake up what JON was cooking. But I thought the same thing before Nebraska week. And here we are. So sorry, CMT, St Paul and Rebel.... I know we ARE going to get turned around at some point, because we DO have an above average football program with an excellent leader. But he seems to be in a slump right now, and so is the team.
I'm not giving up on the team. I'm just down about the short term until I see Fitz actually fix his big mistake. So you want me to trust the process - I'll trust the process when I see a capable performance by our D. I hope its Saturday against Rutgers.... but somebody stole my koolaid, so I'm doubtful. Show me.

Sark's is a greasy spoon type place. If that is what you are looking for then go for it, but personally I prefer Walker Brothers, though granted as someone else said above on a Saturday morning you are likely going to get a 15 minute wait or so, depending on the time.
