Top 5 Bars in Downtown Fargo

Fargo, North Dakota has been rated one of the drunkest cities in the United States and everyone has a favorite bar. In my opinion these are the top 5 bars downtown Fargo has to offer.

5. The Bomb Shelter

This bar is simply on the list for one reason: bomb shots. The Bomb Shelter is the first bar in Fargo to specialize in bomb shots (mixed drink that is made by dropping a small glass of one drink into a larger glass holding a different drink). It's a very unique and fun bar that is located underneath a strip club.

4. Empire Tavern

If you like your drinks strong this is the place to go. I love the "dive bar" feel and the Empire hits the nail on the head for that. If you're just looking to have a few strong drinks and play some darts this is the perfect bar downtown.

3. The Old Broadway

Right in the middle of the countdown is this "love it or hate it" bar. The club vibe isn't for everyone but if you are looking to dance this is one of the only bars downtown that you can do so at — which secures its place in my countdown. Make sure you've had a few drinks because you'll be waiting at least 10 minutes at the bar for a drink, luckily the bar has shotgirls so you won't go thirsty.

2. Dempsey's Irish Pub

A short while ago Dempsey's would not have made my list, but after their remodel adding more seating and space they have taken second place in my favorite downtown bars. Dempsey's occasionally has live bands and above the bar is a venue, The Aquarium, which holds live musical events.

1. Pickled Parrot

This bar definitely surpasses all others downtown. With a live band playing nearly every Friday and Saturday, the Pickled Parrot takes first place without a doubt. Nothing creates a better drinking atmosphere than live music and mason jars filled with your favorite beer for only $5. This is the perfect bar to end the night.

These are just a few of the great bars in downtown Fargo and there are many more great bars in Fargo if you expand your search from downtown. Happy bar hopping!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
