The Bop

In Boston, a dive bar is any place that doesn’t have $ 16 martinis on the menu. In Beloit, a dive bar is epitomized by the BOP. There are 2 beers on tap, Coors Light and Ol Milwaukee. If you order anything other than a pitcher, a rail shot, or a long island ice tea, Bert, the owner, will probably give you a puzzled look, and that’s the way a dive bar should be. There’s pool and darts, so if you’re there with the right people, the lack of a reasonable beer on tap selection is not a big deal.
The best way to enjoy the BOP is to show up drunk, so the crappy beer doesn’t taste so bad, and leave tanked.
Also, if you go there for your birthday, make sure you don’t accept her offer for a free strawberry cheesecake shot. I asked for a gin and tonic, thinking I could get any free drink for my 21^st. She said my free drink had to be a shot, and proceeded to pour me the aforementioned fruity little number. I’ve heard many people tell similar stories, where all roads lead to the strawberry cheesecake shot.

«why don’t you get a pitcher of beer that i already drank from the keg and then squated my old ass back over and refilled? its cheaper.»
three dollar pitchers of bert filtered old mil and 5 dollar bottles of bud don’t make a good bar. i feel somewhat bad because the lady means well, but jesus christ this place is vile. college kids: get over it quick, i know you have the rest of your lives to drink but one night here is time wasted. seriously.

We used to go to this shithole every week on tuesdays and get loooooaded then have the least drunk member of the crew drive all our broke asses to the taco bell on the otherside of town, then most of wednesday was spent hovering over the toilet in Eaton Chapel puking out your ass. This place is totally gross, pitchers are somehow cheaper than a pint and they claim to have Old Mil on tap, it actually tastes like rancid urine. I’m giving it the extra star for the memories though
Also Bert came to our graduation and claimed that «we were the best class beloit had in while» then offered us a pitcher
