The Chug

I am a proud grad of BSU from the mid-80's, and loved going to The Chug back in the day. My buddies and I get together annually for a BSU weekend and The Chug is a must stop. I've seen studies that show a majority of high school seniors choose BSU knowing that in a few years they'll be able to go to The Chug someday. Cheap drinks and a wonderful atmosphere. Beneficence, Greek's pizza, and The Chug--The 3 wonders of Ball State!

If you rate the Chug less than 5 stars you likely spend your BSU nights at Brothers. The Chug is the best bar in Muncie with the best bartenders, regulars, prices, and trivia. The chug is a classic. It might not look the most appealing but it's hole in the wall atmosphere gives it the college vibe everyone loves.

This place is a lot of fun! It's such a relief from the puking, fumbling idiots that crowd Brothers. It has a really down to earth atmosphere, they always have live music, the waits at the bar aren't long, they have pool arcade games etc. I love going with a group of friends. Word of wisdom, don't go in the bathroom. If hepatitis was airborne it would start there....just go outside...

I have only been to this place once. I moved to Muncie after my college years (I'm only 30 now, but still) and don't go out drinking a lot so I don't know all the good places to go. I was kind of worried about going to a place on campus to drink, but it really wasn't too bad. I didn't feel like the "old" person in a crowd. As another reviewer said, it's not full of sorority girls or what I would call "woo girls" for those HIMYM fans.This was a bar with a laid back vibe. The drinks were reasonably priced and they had a large selection of games that could potentially be harmful if playing while drunk (foosball, air hockey, skeeball, basketball, etc). The drink I tried was their "Chug Juice" which is on tap. I was expecting a watered-down version of a hairy buffalo, but to my suprise it was a tasty drink that packed a punch. Though I will say, many men would not bother carring around the bright pink fizzy concoction.I was pleasantly surprised with this bar and wouldn't mind visiting again.

The Chug is a classic. I'm so thankful that they have kept all of the fun of being at a bar without the glamour, sometimes you just want to drink beer. The Chug is an awesome place to drink, sing your heart out, and have a great time.

I have been going to the Chug as long as it has existed. Believe it or not this place is known worldwide - I have met people there from as far away as Japan and Australia who went out of their way while on business in Indiana to visit "the famous" Chug. While stationed in Okinawa during the last years of Vietnam I met several bar girls who were fascinated that I was a regular there. At 67 years old (me, not the Chug) it is still my favorite bar.

Ohhh how I love and miss The Chug! Two things are certain if you attend my Alma Mater, Ball State University in Muncie, IN; 1. You probably went to school with my brother, he was there for 9 years and B. You will get plastered at the dive of all dives, known simply as the Chug. You will not find a plethora of half naked sorority girls, fancy pants martinis, or any food (unless the popcorn machines working, which I don't think it worked once in my 4 years at BSU). Ney, you will find cheap drink specials, SERIOUS drinkers, a glory hole up by the beer pong table, a sticky floor covered in who-knows-what, and a trough for peeing...if you make it to the bathroom (I had more than a few friends that didn't make it). They have ski-ball, air hockey, pool, and above all else foosball and beer pong. No one is better than or above the Chug, but you will have a hard time getting your girlfriend there...if she does go, and she loves it as much as you do, then marry that woman for she is a keeper. It's a tradition, a right of passage, you might get shot...it's the CHUG!

Came here after my cousins briss, as I needed a really strong G&T after all the excitement. One of the patrons told me that this bar was known to have the best maraschino cherrie in all of Indiana. Fun fact Muncie and South Bend have been battling for the Cherry Popper crown since 1932.So I said drop the G&T and make me a Shirley Temple with a double shot of Bombay Sapphire. And let me tell you, this luscious concoction settled this classic Indiana rivalry once and for all. Muncie has the best maraschino cherries and if you want ya cherry popped then come to The Chug.

Ah The Chug, my favorite little hole in the wall college bar. This place is never as jam packed as other campus places but the atmosphere is great for lounging around with friends and having a good time. $1 pitchers is definitely the best deal around. I can't say enough good things about this place. It's gritty in a good way and I love it.

There are two kinds of people in this world.Those that like Brothers, and those that like The Chug.You will either love this place, or wonder how the hell it's even open. If you're the latter, we probably don't want you there anyways. In all seriousness, The Chug manages to bring some great regional bands in for FREE shows that most bars in the area would charge a $20 cover for. The drinks are strong, service is great, and the crowds are diverse. It's not the kind of place I would go on a first date, but if you're ever on a date and she says "want to go have a drink at The Chug?" Never say no. In conclusion, you can either look past the less than pristine but supremely nostalgic griminess and have a great time, or go home. The "we're just here to party" atmosphere is what really makes it shine. They genuinely don't try to be anything they aren't, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
