🕯️ In memoriam
Mean Mr. Mustard's
1979–1998
“AC/DC-Cult Sunday nights and the black-clad crowd.”
Campus Bars · High St · OSU · 1580 N. High St.
The one-of-a-kind High Street live-music joint and late-night hangout that opened in 1979 — Sundays meant the AC/DC-Cult night, a floor of black-clad regulars, and British post-punk blaring till close. For countless OSU students it WAS the campus. It closed in the late 1990s and the building was later torn down.

The drive, the dance, the heartbreak, the summer. Add a memory of Mean Mr. Mustard's.
