Today we got to honor the life of James “Jim” Messner. Jim had deep roots on The Ohio State Campus, not only as an alumni, but as someone who literally helped lay the foundation for the bar scene itself, as he was the one who built the physical bars at The Oar House and Surf City, two iconic spots owned by his pal Dick Allen. Legend has it that you could always find Jim’s Audi Fox parked out front of The Library, and that’s how you knew a good time was waiting inside. That’s where you would find Jim in his stool at the end of the bar, or doing his duty, leaning against the Jukebox, to make sure it wasn’t falling over 😎, which is where he met his wife, Robin. The bars on this campus are made up of the people who make them great, we are just fortunate to have the longest run out of them all, to be a page in their history book. Our hearts go out to the Messner family and friends, as we remember a campus legend, and one hell of a guy ❤️

Today we honor all of those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms, and we honor the families of the fallen who continue to endure the loss of their loved ones. Thank you all for defending the freedom of this great nation 🇺🇸

Your campus bar community is always working behind the scenes, and in the off season to make your experience better, year in, and year out. At the end of the day, we are one campus, built up of many different bars, all wanting the same thing, to make memories that will last a lifetime. The goal is to make sure we provide that to you without a third party coming in to gouge the students to sell shirts, and using the bars as the product. We’ve got your backs, and we will never stop trying to come up with new s**t to make those memories that last a lifetime. Here’s to the future Buckeyes!! Your bars have your backs!!
