Popular weekend hangout for college students turns laid-back saloon during the week.

You may want to stay far away from the Exchange on the weekend, when it turns into a refuge for college students looking for an evening of Budweiser and Jim Beam. But head to this laid-back saloon after work on weekdays for the 5-to-7 happy-hour specials, which vary by the day. Try $8 pitchers of domestic beer on Mondays or $2.50 Bud drafts throughout the week. There’s darts and pool to entertain you as well.
