Every bar that should’ve made Cosmo’s ‘Best College Bars’ over Deadwood
Yes Deadwood was named Best College Bar in Iowa City and no it’s not a joke
Earlier this month, Cosmopolitan Magazine’s Snapchat Story premiered an article called “The 51 Best College Bars in America.”
According to this article, our resident bar, Deadwood Tavern, was named the best college bar in Iowa City. 
What may come as a shock to many–or not so many–most University of Iowa students have never set foot inside of Deadwood Tavern. That being said, here are all the bars that could have and should have been named Best College Bar in Iowa City instead of Deadwood.

With deals like Mug Club and $2 Liquor Pitchers on the weekends and 25 cent wings on Wednesdays, Brothers is definitely a candidate for the #1 spot.
Its relaxing atmosphere and great outdoor patio is the perfect place to hang out with your friends and even play some pool. If you’re not in the mood for a chill night, Brothers also has a DJ and dance floor for you to let loose.

As much as you probably hate to admit it, The U is a top spot in IC.
