    Dive bar Campus staple Cheap drinks Burgers Trivia night Pool tables
    A classic dive bar near Ohio State University, The Thirsty Scholar has been a campus staple for decades. Located in a former house at 2201 Neil Ave, it offers a cozy, unpretentious atmosphere. Known for its reasonably priced drinks and hearty burgers, the bar also hosts trivia nights on Thursdays at 8 p.m., featuring $7 pitchers of Scholar Lager and $8 pitchers of Miller Lite. While the main floor can get crowded, there's a lower level with additional seating and pool tables for those seeking more space.
