Probably most famous for their beer garden, Mike 'n' Molly's has been a staple of the downtown bar scene since 1998. Unofficial home to the "drinking frat" of Pi Omega Omega and host to the "Mr Mustache Competition" (some clips available on their MySpace page) Mike 'n' Molly's has a large selection of beers with 10 taps and numerous bottled/canned offerings.

It is a good place to hang out with friends after work or go for a quiet drink by yourself. The staff are efficient, friendly and some of the fastest servers in town. After 10 p.m., Mike 'n' Molly's plays host to many customers that work in the service industry and has a DJ on Tuesdays and Fridays.
