Bartender Sheri tenuzzo serves margarltas during Margarita Night at Doe's Pad.
Doc’s can’t be labeled too easily
By Ed Carson
/» !'v Or&frn Daiy tm&akl
If you crave great beer and don't mind unin
spired service, head over to hast 1 ‘Itfl Street Cafe
or High Street Cafe |f a meat market is what you're
after and you don't mind smelling like cigarettes
and i heap beer afterwards, then Guido’s is the
place
Hut if you are looking for something different
(not "different," which rarely is) then you might
want to choc k out Doc s had
I fix s had is a small liar Iim ated on lfir> W 11th
Ave Despite its outward appearance, it is not a
"hole in tie- w til k>- New Max's or the ( Holer
The atmosphere at Dch x is different from any
other hor that i aters to college students What
stands out at Doc's are tile people who come to the
bar At most c ollege bar-, there is 11 ertain type of
crowd that dominates part it ular bars hor exam
ple. Guido's is a greek stronghold, and High Strict
a hippie hangout
Doc s pad i an t lie labeled so easily Not that
there aren't Doc s had regulars, hut they don't have
muc h in common ext opt that they like Dm x You
tan run into all sorts of people at Dot s, from lean,
mean e\-M,trines to older overweight drunks wear
ing tie-dyes
Dot \ had is not a place to wander around and
meet new people, however It is definitely a sit
down liar Doc's patrons are friendly, but they are
already having a good time yy ith their friends
The canned music played in the bar is loud
enough so that jieopie c an hear the music, but qui
et enough so they i an have conversations without
shouting, unlike at least one c ampus bar. Doc s
play s mostly t lassie roc k. but it avoids overplay mg
songs like K/.l.l. does
Servlc e at Dm s had is ext ellent (lot ktail wait
resses tome to their customers' tables and serve
them promptly — unlike Guido's, where you usu
ally have to wait in line for drinks, or High Street,
where you wait all night.
Actually, the drinks are the least exceptional
aspect of Doc's Pad. Doc’s serve a limited number
of beers on draft, but they include microbrews
Weidmer. Umpqua, and Bridgeport Ales. Doc's
also serves shots and mixed drinks. Each night a
mixed drink is a special, such as a Long Island
I< ed Ten on Friday nights for $3. Overall, prices
are about average.
Dm s Pad is i onnected to King Wall's Chinese
Restaurant, which helps Doc's Pad avoid the
Goldilocks problem It rarely feels empty or over
crowded at Doc’s. On slow weeknights a handful
of people can spread out comfortably in the main
room, hut on the weekends King Wall's is opened
tip for people to sit
King Wall's shuts down about the time Dot s
gets going, but people can order Chinese food at
Dot 's until 10 pin King Walt's cuisine was not
sampled for this review, hut ordering a suit* of
springrolis. regardless of the quality should be a
welcome change from greasy tries.
But at Dot s Pad. Chinese isn't the only substi
tute for tries Dot s provides free bow ls of peanuts
to its customers Not many places serve peanuts,
pretzels or !>cer nuts gratis; it's a nice touch.
Doc's Pad doesn’t have a pool table, but patrons
can keep themselves entertained. There are the
mm obligatory pair of video poker machines for
students who like to donate their parents' hard
earned money to the state Much tatter is the pair
of dart boards (darts can be borrowed from the I>ar
for free). Sure, as the evening drugs on the aim
bet nines shakv. but as long as no one loses an eye.
it's all fun and games
One of Doc's Pad's major drawbacks is its Iot a
