This is one of my favorite places on planet earth. I am serious. The authenticity of the this place is amazing. \n\nThe Union has a lot to offer, but I will be focusing on the drinking, because I spent very little time doing anything else there.\n\nThe Union has to main drinking area. The first, is the Rathskellar. It is a genuine, real deal German Brew Haus. This place is gorgeous on the inside. The walls are covered with beautiful paintings that tell the legend of Paul Bunyon. Screw you Minnesota ! We are claiming him.\n\nThe \"instant boner\" feature of the Union is the Terrace. The Terrace is a four tier German style beer garden that overlooks Lake Mendota and comes complete with a stage for live music. I get the tingles just thinking about it. The music is usually nothing special expect for the occasional strange act like \"The Violent Femmes\", but the shows are always free and the beer cold.\n\nThe Union at University of Wisconsin is one of the only \"wet\" student unions in the nation. The funny thing is, that when the University tries to cut back on student binge drinking they always get called out because the Union sells more beer then any bar on campus. Ha!\n\nThe Terrace basically functions as a giant preparty for the entire campus. It is like one giant living room. This is like the superbowl for Euchre players. \n\nThe Union is a reminder that it is the little things that make life worth living.\n\nPoem dizzle.\n\nAwe inspiring.\nLake Mendota is gorgeous.\nMakes me melt inside.\n\nTalent Level ? Molten Metal.
