Appalachian State has been known as a party school. I personally can vouch for that. Our bar scene is a little different than a lot of other universities, but each bar is unique in their own way. We wouldn't trade our ratchet nights at our more ratchet bars for anything. It's like home. Here's what to expect when preparing to go out in good ol' Boonetown.

Parthenon

If you're eighteen and looking to get ratchet with Nick, pnon is the place for you.

Klondike

If you're of legal drinking age -- or know the bouncer, and want to get in a fight and remember nothing, turn up for kdike.

Tapp Room

The most civilized of the trailer bars, draws a little more mature crowd. But Taco's. That is all.

Galileo's

For those nights when you're really feeling yourself and you want to sing karaoke at the top of your lungs after a few too many drinks.

Boone Saloon

If you're under, you've probably gotten your fake taken. But if you don't wear shoes and like to chain smoke cigs this is where your people reside.

Murphy's

For all you pool sharks out there. I really don't think people go here for any other reason than to play pool.

Rivers Street Ale House

You're either way too old to be chillin' at the trailer bars, or you wanna hang out with some local elders.

Portofino's

Good music. Good food. Good drinks. Good company.

Geno's

The live country music really draws an interesting array of people. You better be sure to have your boots on.

The Local

Be ready to jam to some 70's throwback. Not quite as grimy as Char was, but always a good time.
