Like many other college students, the weekend takes far too long to get here so my friends and I habitually start a day early. This Thursday we decided to try Leitrums pub on park Avenue, a small Irish bar located on the corner of Park and Pleasant St. that occasionally offers an 18+ night, limiting the number of people under 21.
With an arrival around 11 we walked in to find a reasonably packed house, the majority of which being Assumption college students. The bar was divided into two rooms, the first being the more crowded of the two with a DJ booth in the corner and dancing just about everywhere except at the bar. The back room was a similar setup but a bit more of a social scene with a stage in the back corner that inevitably would host as a platform for girls to dance on.
Once at the bar it didnt take long to get the bartender's attention (a cute young blonde), with a wide selection of drinks they also cater to the college budget, offering $1.00 drafts which I couldn't help but capitalize on. With the exception of a few posted specials they seemed to take a majority of drink orders as well, though many I heard were simple drinks like Red Bull and Vodka, I doubt anybody would be in Leitrums ordering something like a Manhattan.
So onto the final grades,
Atmosphere: B+ not the greatest establishment but with the exception of that and being an outsider to the assumption crowd, an up-beat atmosphere filled with attractive people, good music and no cover.
Drink Cost/Quality: A- A range of options from a mixed drink with a good alcohol-mixer ratio for around 6 dollars to the $1.00 PBR draft. Leits offers a good range of drinks but could add a bit more to their specials or "house" drinks.
Service:A Bouncers at the door are respectful which is rare in my experience and as stated above, bar tenders are prompt and efficient.
People: B+ Again, mostly Assumption students but many of those students being good looking females, for our female readers there is a pretty good girl to guy ratio but I am in no position to judge looks. The majority of people just looking to have a good time, no fights, minimal problems n for the most part, a level of decency.
Overall: A-
despite being an outsider to the predominantly Assumption crowd, I had no problem meeting people and would reccomend Leitrums on a Thursday to anybody.
