Suki's

2401 SW 4th Ave., 226-1181, sukisbargrill.com. 10 am-1:30 am Monday, 10 am-2:30 am Tuesday-Friday, 9 am-2:30 am Saturday, 9 am-1:30 am Sunday.

When your college is an urban commuter hub with little school spirit, your collegiate boozery may as well be a motel bar next to the freeway. The crowd tends to waver based on the nightly specials—$2 PBR and Tecate on Thursdays is a no-brainer—but it's rare to find the queue for karaoke less than 10 undergrads deep. Suki's would get along just fine if it was half the size, but the street-facing OLCC-mandated dining room offers a panoramic view of the fallout as a dude in cargo shorts and a South Park hoodie murders the Randy Newman-penned theme from the original Toy Story. If it's Friday, indulge in $5 shots of Jägermeister—because that's still a thing—and pray to god a 21st-birthday procession doesn't show up and dump their purses on the CSI pinball machine. PETE COTTELL.

Happy hour: 4-8 pm Monday-Friday. Cheap everything, daily specials.
Entertainment: Karaoke, pool.
