For the first time at UB, I attempted to check out the local bar scene after finishing my exam and hitting up the gym. The facilities are very nice by the way in case you haven't checked it out, I recommend you go. I found my way to Turp's Sports Bar which is probably the only place that I've heard who supports the University. It's your average sports bar except slightly smaller with a decent variety of food. The place was decently crowded for it being a Thursday night, but not so crowded that you couldn't get a drink.
So my question remains where do the UB students go at night? Nightlife should be prominent in an urban environment like UB so where are the local college hangouts? If you go to any other University in Maryland you have distinct college areas where the food might not be great, but the beer and good times are plenty.
Where do you go out to after class? Share your thoughts on UB nightlife and what you think could be done to improve it?

Turp's is actually hosting a mixer for the MPA Student Association tomorrow night at 6; I'm thinking of going over to check it out. Never been before, sounds like it might be a nice place to grab beers after work, class, etc.
Actually, last night CNCM was holding a happy hour of sorts. After that I was in there with SEB and the magician that had performed.
I am a Turp's regular. I go there on Monday nights before my 8:15 class for wing night - 30 cents a wing. :) Thursday's are half priced burger nights. They have some pretty awesome food, and if you go on wing night, or burger night, it's considerably CHEAP! Aloha Sushi seems to also be a place that UB students frequent pretty regularly.
I think that most students go home because they may work in the morning or by the time they get out of class, it's late. A few nights I've gone to Aloha and Turp's. I love Tapas Teatro on Charles St.
The law school was in Turp's last night before we all headed to the far end of Federal Hill last night... but I have noticed that despite being in the city, UB doesn't seem to have the same kind of crowd where you can go to the three or so places and know you will find some of your fellow students like most schools have.
I would guess it has more to do with our proportionally smaller undergraduate population.
