Places on the strip

Last time I was on the strip, it looked like alot of things were gone. BWW was gone and hardly no decent bars left.

Have they added anything new lately? Id like to check out some new places Saturday.

You can never go wrong with Half Barrel. Tin roof is the newest bar I can think of or Goal Post Tavern (OCI). There really isn't anything new on the strip right now.

IMHO...The strip isnt that good anymore...I would head to gay st/mkt square area or go to the old city and checkout Barleys.

Maybe they can import some hookers from Colombia to liven things up.

That was my reaction too. I checked with a friend that is still at UT and she said that it is in fact no longer there. Apparently shut down because of the lack of parking among other reasons? Someone can correct that part if it's wrong.

By far the worst BWW I have ever been to. I really wish they would put something else there. The strip really doesn't have much anymore. Downtown is much better.

They closed due to lack of parking. They have a store in Turkey Creek. The parking was the issue according to a neighboring business.

My favorites are Tin Roof, Half Barrel, Cool Beans, and Hannahs. There is a pizza place opening soon next to firehouse subs. that is the only thing new.
