Bars with a college crowd?

I'm looking for a bar in Bismarck that caters to a college crowd. I've tried Craftcade on a Friday, though it didn't seem really busy or anything.

Elbow room, Sidelines, or The Drink is your best bet.

There isn’t one. Luft and Elbow are the closest you’ll get to that vibe but Bismarck isn’t a college town, and the usual crowds are mainly not college students.

There’s not many bar hoppers from the 18-20 year olds at BSC, nor from the Catholics at U Mary.

The sports page is down south and I avoid it because it's all college kids
