Summit; we were all freshmen once

Okay, let's be honest: we've all been to Summit, and despite what we say out loud, we most likely had a great time.  However, they don't call it "Scummit" for no reason.
With the biggest dance floor in Iowa City, raunchy, X-rated dancing is guaranteed at the The Summit on a nightly basis.  And let me warn the females, unless you enter this infamous dance floor with a dance partner already in hand, prepare to be pounced on instantly by random (and most likely highly intoxicated) males lurking on the outskirts of the dance floor.
It is an unspoken fact that Summit is the #1 underage bar in Iowa City.  The bouncers themselves who check IDs at the door are barely even 18.
However, the neat thing about Summit is that, if you are an Iowa student, no matter what night you go there, you are guaranteed to see several people you know there.
In my opinion, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays are the best nights to go to Summit.  Every Monday, Summit hosts "country night," where people are encouraged to dress in country apparel and country music is played all night.  Free bacon is also served on Mondays in lieu of of country night, and drinks are $2 you call it.  Tuesdays are good simply because it's $1 you call it and the bar is ALWAYS packed because, let's be honest, college students like to get drunk cheap.  Thursdays are the best because it's $1.50 you call it and everyone likes to kick off their weekend at Summit.
My one precaution at Summit is to watch your step going down the stairs from the second to the first floor.  I've seen far too many people slide down those stairs on their butt.
