The "Rathskeller," or student bar, was a common institution in colleges for many years. I remember there being one at SUNY Albany in the 1970s for example. Alcohol use, policy, the Rathskellers etc. across SUNY would be an interesting research topic!

Rathskeller
Was asked when the Rathskeller on campus, which had been in the basement of Seymour, had closed. Looking at articles on it in the Stylus in nyshistoricnewspapers.org it appears to have closed between 1983 and 1985. It was at this time the drinking age in NY was being raised, first to 19 in December 1982, then to 21 in December 1985.
