Chicago Water Grill starts college night
Jonesville's Chicago Water Grill tempted thirsty tongues with drink specials during its second College Night on Wednesday.
Bartender Josh Butler said the restaurant decided to host a night for college students each week to build business and provide them with a fun atmosphere.
Butler says he mixes up specials each week, but students can expect deals like $1.50 draft beers, $1 bottled beers and $3 mixed well drinks.
"There's pretty good stuff in the well-it's not cheap, nasty stuff," Butler said.

Author gives students graduate school application tips
Donald Asher, author of "Graduate Admissions Essays," said that while calendar management is important in getting accepted to graduate school, grades and especially faculty assistance are the most crucial factors in an application.
In a talk given to about 35 students on campus in the Knorr Room Tuesday evening, Asher offered numerous tips to help students get into the graduate school of their choice.
Tips included utilizing faculty at both a student's undergraduate school and desired graduate school as well as attending each and every "meet-and-greet" possible.
Asher said grades are important as well but that students can get clever in suggesting how they should be viewed.
