Last Chance to Pullman Bar Hop!

With finals just around the corner there is very limited weekdays/nights (depending on your preference) to unwind and let loose this semester. Here are some great bars around downtown Pullman that are close enough to walk or to enjoy a cheap taxi ride!



My Office: 215 S. Grand Ave., Pullman 
Looking for a laid back, low key bar with dangerously strong and unique drinks the bar My Office is a great way to let loose and go a little wild. Happy hour is from 3-6PM daily and has excellent drink and meal specials you wont want to miss. 

Old Post Office: 245 SE Paradise St., Pullman 
For a classier night out on the town then the usual bump and grind that dance bars offer, The Old Post Office has a wide selection of beer and wine is a gorgeous place for you and your date to enjoy a nice drink after a long day of studying. 


Rico's: 200 E. Main St., Pullman
If you are interested in studying while enjoying a nice adult beverage Rico's provides the perfect setting for you. Rico's offers a great selection of drinks and local jazz music while surrounded by the atmosphere brought by being surrounded by books. 

The Sport's Page: 165 N. Grand Ave., Pullman
With the basketball season around, The Sport's Page is the ideal place to kick back and watch the game while you order pitcher upon pitchers of beer and order off their large bar food menu. And YES there are plenty of TVs to watch your favorite games on. 

These are just a few of my personal favorites although there are many more bars especially in the Moscow Idaho area. Grab your friends and arrange for a designated driver and get ready for a rockin good time

Wing Wednesday in Pullman

With only three weeks left in the semester it is time for studying and cramming for papers, quizzes and exams but everyone needs to have a place to go and blow off some steam. Wednesdays are the new Fridays and are a great way to be able to celebrate the middle of the week!

Where can I go for Wing Wednesdays?

There are two main options for getting your Wing fix. You can either choose Valhalla which has recently been remodeled into the ultimate hangout place complete with flat screens filling all the walls upstairs to watch all your favorite sports and shows.  Valhalla sells two flavors of wings on Wednesdays, one flavor is the famous spicy flavor which gets the line wrapped around the bar. Stubblefields is the other bar you can choose from which is the classic dance spot bar on campus where you usually can find the bar wall to wall packed on any given day. Stubblefields has a variety of wings to choose from and a couple different flavors but I highly recommend their famous remix flavor.

What kind of deals are available on Wing Wednesday?

Valhalla sells 12 wings for $3.00 and dipping sauce is available for only $0.50 a cup. There specials are usually Jack Daniels singles for $3.00 and doubles for $6.00 but of course there is Hammas bucket for only $4.00!
Stubblefields sells 7 wings for $3.00 and dipping sauce is free for one. Stubblefields mixes up their specials daily and has a variety of five different drinks at special discount price so you never know what to expect and there is always a variety.

Choose your bar, grab some friends, and devour your own bucket of wings and release some of the weekday stressors tonight!

Girls' (and guys') day out at Identity Day Spa!

A lot of people feel there aren't a variety of different kinds of activities available in, or close to Pullman. However, a Identity Salon and Day Spa proves them wrong! Although Identity is one of the only spas in Pullman and the immediate surrounding areas, they still have reasonable prices for nearly every college student's budget.

What Kind of Services Do They Offer?
Identity offers an array of services (that even your man can enjoy). Starting with hair, Identity has an experienced group of stylists who are happy to color, cut, deep condition, put in or remove extensions, and many other specialized treatments. Identity also offers body waxing (for every body part), and indoor tanning as well. They have full body, aroma therapy, maternity, hot stone, facials, Swedish, and many other specified massages which I have been lucky enough to receive! Everyone deserves a massage once in a while. Last but not least, they offer manicures and pedicures that are phenomenal! Full leg and arm massage with every mani/pedi! Prices at Identity range from $25 - $140, so yes, their services do add up fast!




What is the Ambiance Like in the Spa?
Instantly, when you step into Identity, you feel calm and peaceful. Their entire facility is small and quaint, yet very modern and chic. It is extremely clean with calming colors and fun staff.




Location and Hours
Identity is right in the heart of downtown Pullman on Main Street right next to Taco Del Mar, so it is super easy to find, and only 3/4 of a mile from campus. They are open Tuesdays through Fridays 9 a.m.-7 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m.-6 p.m. While appointments are recommended, walk-ins are always welcome.

South Fork is gooooooddd eatin' for cheap!

South Fork Public House is an amazing restaurant located in Pullman Washington, that has a great atmosphere and a great gathering place for friends and family!

What is the menu like?
South Fork's menu ranges from appetizers, soups and salads, sandwiches and burgers, and entrees including pasta, ribs, and home style classics. To end the evening I recommend the dessert menu!

Is there a happy hour?
I personally recommend South Forks happy hour from 3-6PM EVERYDAY! Where you not only receive $3.00 well drinks, wine, and beer and $3.00 OFF all appetizers!

What do I recommend?
I personally enjoy: Scorpion Tails (8), Cheesesteak Wrap (9), Pulled Pork Sandwich (9), and for dessert Chocolate Brownie (5).

Your meal will be around $25 for an appetizer, entree sandwich and dessert which is a great deal for an amazing meal.
 

Monday Night is the NEW Date Night

Dating on a college budget can be tricky. When planning date nights with the usual dinner and a movie you are looking at spending up to $75+ on two nice entrees, appetizers, drinks, two movie tickets, and then the $15 your spending on satisfying your popcorn and candy fix. Luckily for you, Fireside Grille in Pullman has created a deal to help college students on a budget.

What is this money saving deal?
At Fireside Grille, you will receive a $4.00 movie ticket when you purchase an entree of $10+! This will be saving you about $6.00 on a movie ticket which is about $12.00 on a date night, while still making you look thoughtful and sweet to splurge on dinner and a movie with your date!

What type of food can fit into my budget?
I would recommend...

•  Bruschetta for $6.00 
• Fish and Chips for the entree- $10.50

                  OR

• Any of their personal size rustic pizza for $11.50 (California Club, BBQ Chicken, Hawaiian, and The Works) all of which are AMAZING
• Skip dessert and soda for the movie concession stand

DINNER TOTAL:  $28.00 for two amazing meals
MOVIE TOTAL: $8.00 for two movie tickets


What to do at the movie theater for snacks and drinks?
I personally recommend

• Go to the dollar store and each pick out your favorite candy, it comes in KING SIZE and is only $1.00 each
• I also would recommend each getting a soda as well for an addition $2.00
• At the movie theater the concessions are decently priced in Pullman with the most expensive jumbo popcorn at only $5.00, I recommend the medium for only $3.50

SNACK TOTAL: $10.00

Grand Total for a Date Night Out for TWO: 
$46.00 saving you about $30-40 on a night out

Remember to skip where you can and allow your date to have a great time while saving your wallet and bank account from taking a hit.

**Remember ladies it is not always the guys job to pay, if he buys dinner and the tickets offer to buy the snacks it will take him off guard and score you some nice brownie points! HOWEVER if he refuses twice DO NOT PUSH THIS! Acknowledge his kindness and tease it is your treat next time :)
