At the time I was in school 10-15 years ago, we had a small campus bar. It was more of a restaurant type of atmosphere (upscale caf) during the day but there was a semi-stocked bar that got busy at around 5PM. It only stayed open until 8:30. If we were really having bad mornings, they served alcohol as early as 10AM.
Fridays were the busiest days as they had live music. When things shut down everyone headed down the street to the university dive bars.
I think the bar is still there and they still serve booze, but from what I hear it's not what it used to be thanks to Sodexho taking over.
