"The evening began at Damon's, the ribs-and-beer
chain rated by you as the Law School's top sports bar. Perhaps the
best thing about Damon's is its conscientious coverage of NHL hockey,
making it a refuge of sorts for hockey sympathizers. Game-night beers
are served up by Barry, an affable Northeast Philly transplant who
isn't afraid to voice his opinions about the Flyers' defense, vulgar
though they may be. Pluses: Eight big-screen TVs, hockey, Tex-Mex spring
rolls. Minuses: Middle-aged testosterone, high prices."
—Andy Lippstone '01
