Exactly, and the point is, Campus Corner is a competitive market. And really the only night the students patronize those establishments is mass droves is on Thursday night.

As Joe, owner of Joe's Taverna, which was open 20 years, told me. "You're not gonna get rich owning a bar around here, and the biggest difference I have seen is my employees all work at than one bar/ restaurant. It wasn't like that when I first opened."

Its weird because Kong’s was always packed every time I’ve been in Norman.

They lost their mixed beverage license on July 27 for failure to document food sales. Apparently the drink sales were "too good".
