Popular campus hangouts, The Tavern at Bayboro and The Campus Grind are now open on Saturdays.
“We are all sports fans here,” said Dennis Bixler, owner of The Tavern. “We wanted to try something different because college football Saturdays is just something fun to do and get together.”
The Tavern will serve $15 buckets with five mix-and-match beers. They will also offer a limited menu with select sandwiches and appetizers. They are open from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Many would assume The Campus Grind, which shares a building with The Tavern, is also open on Saturdays due to Bulls college football. But according to The Grind, their reason is more straightforward.
Scott Perez, owner of The Grind, says the coffee bar simply “wants to give people a place to go” on Saturdays.
Scott says that the Grind being open on Saturdays “will boost business and people who didn’t know about The Grind) will come here.”
The Grind is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with its full menu available.
