Ever since 3 breweries opened within 3 miles of my house, I feel like I haven’t been to a conventional in over a year.
Ted's when I got there in '85 with an inch of muck on the floor and Cecelia on the Jukebox will always be up there in my all time list along with The Dearly Departed Civic Pub. Civic on St Patrick's day was the fastest I ever got drunk and went home in my life. Just a great watering hole.
Now I don't go out enough to comment.
When I got to UConn in 2010, Ted's still had an inch of muck on the floor. Even thinking about that place makes me want to go shower.
Shower in beer you mean right? To re-create the experience. I recall the rugby team drinking out of a boot. Ted's would fill the boot for free. So one guy was standing in the muck in nothing but a sock on one foot.

Labrynth is my favorite but there’s 2nd bridge and Parable as well. Another one, Urban Lodge is supposed to open soon in a building which used to house something called “Jock and Jamz Cafe” which I bet was a sweet bar in its day.Labyrinth? Just went there for the first time and enjoyed it. Hungry Tiger is one of my favorite dives. Free spirit is the best if we’re talking serious dives. Wrinkle ranch for life
I think our muck was due to 32 oz Chug-a-Mug plastic cups getting dumped. At some point those were no longer sold and then some time after I graduated they refurbished the place. I thought the muck was a thing of the past at that point.When I got to UConn in 2010, Ted's still had an inch of muck on the floor. Even thinking about that place makes me want to go shower.

Add in Russian Lady to this and you've hit the spots to throw your life away on a Saturday Night.Division West in the center is a good place to throw away your life. Bar in New Haven is also a good place to throw away your life.

Zen Bar*. Has nothing to do with the fact my brother owns it. It's also mostly a karaoke bar with live music on weekends. Paging @August_West. If you go, tell Giancarlo Mano sent you. He'll say "cool" and proceed to charge you regular price.
*It is my brother's bar, but I doubt it would make any real best bar lists. We've had our fun there tho.
