When that night comes around where you say to yourself, “I’m sick of just drinking and trying to pick up girls ... I just want to dance,” then Joe’s Brewery is the place where you can let the dancing queen or king take hold of you. Dan Gottschlich, general manager of Joe’s, thinks he knows why they’ve been voted best place to bust a move several years in a row.

“We’ve got good music, a great sound system, great lights and overall, just a fun place to be,” Gottschlich said.

Whether you’re in the mood to rage to some bumping techno beat or go back to the golden years of your youth, the bar will play the largest assortment of tunes possible.

“We play a wide range, from techno to hip-hop. Tuesday nights are our eighth grade dance nights where we play hits basically from when people were in eighth grade, with Backstreet Boys and songs along those lines,” Gottschlich said.

So go to one of the few bars on campus that actually has a dance floor, poles included, and get down and boogie.
