Poppy cock on the below crap reviews, I first visited varsity in 1982. The fact that little has changed is the draw. Great food and hang out, if your too fagile for the neighborhood, stay home No you don't find the youngest guys, but the experience says alot about the place. Quit being scared of older dudes.

Derelict Building

I pulled up and it looked closed. Looks like a place where you would get robbed.

Kiddie Land

It's 2x smaller than the 10 .. limited seating drinks are high and its hit or miss.. Sometimes it may be a chill crowd or it might feel like it's a school Lock in.
