About this project

By Alex Aspacher, David Clarkson, Allison Dunn,
Tom Nepomuceno, and Hannah Nusser

We set out to report on the bars of downtown Bowling Green. We wrote feature articles describing the crowds, specials, environments and other characteristics of each location to show what makes each place special. The stories below, in no particular order, will help you figure out which Bowling Green bars you might enjoy.

Ziggy's

“Why Ziggy Zoomba?”
Ziggy Zoomba’s, commonly known as Ziggy’s, lies down the yellow brick road between game time and party time.

Resting just east of Main on Wooster Street, Ziggy’s is one of the more popular weekend destinations, especially for athletes. “Saturday nights after home [football] games are always the best,” Mike Lasco said.
Lasco is a fifth year student and has worked at Ziggy’s for almost two years. He says people come out for the friendly environment. “We have one of the bigger bars and one of the bigger outdoors atmospheres,” he said.
Besides Saturdays, Thursdays and Fridays are popular. In addition to being major bar nights, Lasco attributes this to the fact that “we basically run our own drink specials.” This way patrons get a variety of discounted drinks such as Lasco’s favorite, a vodka tonic.
The large facility provides multiple big screen televisions to satisfy even the most avid sports fan. Monitors indoors and out play that day’s biggest games and those wishing to watch the biggest pay-per views over a drink can see their favorite UFC and WWE stars do battle for free.
In addition to being a drinking destination, customers often come before night settles in to grab a meal. Ziggy’s opens at 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and Saturdays while it opens at 4 p.m. on Friday. Whether you’re looking for a place to drink after a Falcon victory or you want to grab a bite to eat, come to Ziggy Zoomba’s for the hometown feel on your night out.
