See & Be Scene
BEST COLLEGE BAR
West Wings likes to call itself another American joint, but this particular joint has 24 plasma-screen televisions and six large-scale projections. There are 40 different bottled beers available and 42 on draft, including microbrews such as Farmington River I.P.A. and Peak Organic Pale Ale. And if you have a hard time deciding, five samples are available for just under six bucks. Wings also has a full menu and dining area offering sandwiches, burgers and wings. The 150-seat bar is the biggest in the area. There's live music on the weekends, pool tables, darts and foosball. What more could you want from a college bar?
