METAL: If you're more about heavy metal than Oscars, tonight a DJ at the Golden Gopher will be playing 80's metal classical from Motley Crue, WASP, Motorhead, Dio, Guns & Roses, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Judas Priest and more. The music starts at 10 pm and goes until 2 am. Happy hour goes all night. Well drinks are $5 and it's $2 off everything else. The Golden Gopher is located at 417 W 8th St. in downtown.
We also have a round-up of places to eat and imbibe while watching the Oscars.
