They're in the middle of exams, so I'm not sure how well it'll work out. I'm also not sure what type of stuff you like/type of person you are, but I'll give you some descriptions...
Bodega- Its right at the corner that makes up Toomer's Corner (College St. and West Magnolia)...Used to be a very greek bar, but less so now (lots of greeks still go, though). If its nice out the back patio will be open. They've remodeled since I graduated so I don't like it as much, but I was there probably 4 nights a week my junior and senior years. Can be very clique-ish, but weekends aren't as much so. Some people seem kinda intimidated to go there because of it, but its a good bar, good people. Lots of SGA/IFC types back in the day. Also, they have pretty good stuff on holidays, so Sat might be good (cinco de mayo).
17-16: Supposed to be pretty cool, opened up this past semester so I haven't been yet. Its also right downtown. Several of the bartenders I was friends w/ at Bodega have since moved over there.
Sky Bar - Right next to Bodega on W. Mag, has a big hole in the ceiling, drinks are half price if its raining. Can be very crowded. Lots of greeks go, but it tends to be a bit younger crowd (20-21). Fun place, we'd often walk down there so the girls could dance at about midnight from another bar.

Bourbon St. Bar- on the other side of Bodega, generally a younger and less greek crowd. I rarely went there, but occasionally they have cool bands and good drink specials.
Quixotes: Down College St. from Bourbon Street, has a nice set up. Tended to be less of a greek hangout, but it is fairly cool inside. Mostly GDI's though.
War Eagle Supper Club (Supper Club): Easily the best known of the Auburn bars, its way down College St. towards the interstate (Call a cab). Its a complete dump, but its really popular with locals and out of towners alike (Playboy top college bar, a couple ESPN articles have been written about it). Will have a band, and they're usually good. Its open until 4, so I rarely ever got there before midnight. You have to get a membership card for 5 dollars before you can get in though, this is how they stay open until 4, private club loophole. If its a more popular band, it can get really crowded and the line out into the parking lot can get very long, so you might wanna ask somebody before you head out there. Also, they have a drunk bus that'll take you home. You can call them to come get you if you'd prefer that over a cab, but sometimes it can take a while if you wait until midnight. Drunk Bus # (334) 821-4455.

Highlands: Popular among GDI's, younger crowd. I think the people are sketchy. Big place though, several bars, big deck, some pretty good bands play there.
Lumberyard- Nobody goes there, I did have a great time there once, however.
Feel free to ask if you've got more Q's. I imagine a lot of people will be studying, but I'm sure some folks will be out.
