Maggie's

Maggie’s Tavern (whose front door was on University Avenue but had a Marshall Street address...huh?) was a hugely popular student hangout in the 80s and 90s. Often referred to by local officials as a “bad news bar” (and therefore making it even MORE of a student favorite), Maggie’s was raid- ed multiple times (with one championship-level night netting the cops more than 100 citations for underage drinking and fake IDs). Sure, it was one of S.U.’s classic beer-soaked dives where countless students (including lots of Greeks) spent more than a little of their parents’ money on 25¢ beers. From 1977 to 2009, Maggie’s outlasted many competitors until finally throwing in the towel thanks to the unamused liquor authority.
