I highly doubt "80%" of this board was in college around 1978. I'd say MOST of us were i school early/mid 80's to mid 90's.Probably 80% of this board is that age demographic so chances are pretty high

I would consider early to mid 80’s as ‘around that time’ yes.I highly doubt "80%" of this board was in college around 1978. I'd say MOST of us were i school early/mid 80's to mid 90's.

I started in 81 and the drinking age bounced up to 19 that year and that place was still great. Thursday nights were for the Cook-Douglas pub but any other night College Ave student center was hopping.. so many good bands, but the cheap pitchers of beer likely helped.I started at Rutgers in ‘78. Drinking age was still 18. First semester, I got a job bouncing and bartending at the Rutgers Pub (Rusty Screw Tavern). It was downstairs in the College Ave student center. The place was legendary. Live entertainment 5 nights per week. I worked the door most nights. Junior year, started working at the Knight Club. More legendary times!!! Man, college was fun!!!
Any chance that anyone on this board was spending time in either place during those times??
The band/music scene at the Pub was crazy. Yasgur's Farm, Skin Davis, and on and on and on. Man, we were lucky to be growing up with all that live music!I started in 81 and the drinking age bounced up to 19 that year and that place was still great.

Wasn't there in the '70s but did go to the College Ave Pub a lot in the '80s. Recall Thursday nights there would be a long, long line at prime time. Once you had a hand stamp though you didn't have to wait in the line to reenter. A few of us would show up at about 7pm to get our hands stamped and then go hit a strip club before returning a couple hours later and skipping the line. We were always pretty proud of our ingenuity.😁 A few years ago I was going through a box of old stuff and actually found my pub card. I recall you needed to have a pub card to get in (or be a guest of someone who had one)?I started at Rutgers in ‘78. Drinking age was still 18.

Well, I’ll only share what my good friend would say when learning that a couple had split or was getting a divorce: “I’m sorry if you are.” Glad the music was good though!Guys, for my first marriage (1993), my fiancé and I were talking about music for the wedding.

Was it Old Queens or the Knight Club with graffiti that lasted for years, 1980-1985?Maybe because they had one of the nastiest bathrooms ever.
