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.

Beckett's


By Tom Nepomuceno

Across the street from Tubby’s and a building over from Uptown Downtown, there’s Beckett’s.

A change in pace from the other bars, Beckett’s is a great place to go to get a drink, a bite to eat, or hang out with friends.

The atmosphere here is laid back, patrons sit at their tables sipping their drinks, enjoying their dinner while watching the game or chatting with friends.

A pool ball motif adorns the walls. The bar is well stocked, and the bartenders are quick and friendly. If you’re in the mood to shoot pool, Beckett’s has free pool at their two pool tables. Beckett’s also has a dartboard should darts be more to your liking and, like in other bars, LCD TVs are located on the walls so patrons can watch their favorite teams.

If you’re looking for something to eat, Beckett’s has you covered. Their menu, along with daily dinner specials, offers a diverse selection of appetizers, sandwiches and soups.

“Every night we have something special,” said bartender Maryann Mason. Beckett’s has a daily dinner special including fifty cent tacos, twenty five cent wings and even a steak dinner.

The crowd at Beckett’s is mixed, but the atmosphere remains the same.

“We get a lot of town people and we also get a lot of college kids,” said Mason. The scene at Beckett’s is mixed. Townies can be seen sitting amongst college kids in the earlier hours around 5 p.m. but as the night drags on, the townies will leave and the college kids will move in.

Wednesday nights are one of their busier nights and there is always a decent dinner crowd, according to Mason.
