After a long week of doing school work, there is nothing better than getting a break and drinking with friends. Luckily, Uptown has a large variety of bars, each with it’s own unique atmosphere. All of the bars have different scenery and make uptown fun in their own way!
#1 The Rec Room/Torrent
The Rec Room and Torrent has the most to offer as a bar. The Rec Room/Torrent combo is two bars in one. First, there is The Rec Room which has an inside bar with a dance floor, an outside sitting area and dance floor, and an outside bar. The outside area has two walls that were made for people to take pictures with large murals. It also is the spot to day drink on Saturday’s which appeals to all of the college students. Torrent is connected to The Rec Room and has a totally different scene. Instead of the normal bar scene, it is more of a club. The bar is usually dark and has rave lights going crazy. Additionally, it has a huge Dj stand that is the center of attention. When going to this bar combo you have a lot to choose from and it appeals to many people.

#2 The Green Turtle
The Green Turtle is a popular bar in Towson. The Green Turtle does a lot of cool events to keep their crowd coming back. On Thursdays, they have a special that is called “Beat the Clock”. Beat the Clock starts at Nine O’clock and ends at Eleven. The deals start with twenty-five cent mixed drinks and the prices rise every half hour. They get customers to drink as much as possible to get cheap drinks. Another thing that they do is let students guest bartend to bring people in. The guest bartenders usually bartend on Tuesday’s because it is a slower night. The guest bartenders will bring their friends in and generate a fun environment. The Green Turtle also brings in some blowup toys occasionally here and there, such as jello wrestling or sumo wrestling. Another thing they brought was a mechanical bull. Things like this keep people coming and bring different environments!

#3 C & R Pub (Cowboys and Rednecks)
C&R is a fairly new bar, but became popular very quickly. It brought a new environment to uptown, which is the country scene. This bar plays only country music. At first, it was not popular because it was only opened until twelve a.m. When the bar opened up to the late-night crowd it became popular. The unique thing about C&R is that they allow their customers to act recklessly. The thing that attracts their customers is that they allow the customers to dance on the booths and the tables. Every other bar uptown will kick you out for dancing on the booths or tables. This makes C & R a place that is different from any other bar uptown and makes the bar fun.
