Essay question: Why should I drink here? You won’t find a better-looking throwback bar than Mathers Social Gathering. The space, located on the third floor of the 19th-century Mather Building, is decked out in early 20th-century opulence, from comfortable leather armchairs to polished wooden bookcases to some of the best mood lighting around. Touches of local history abound, including seats and a giant U.S. flag rescued from Tinker Field. Just know that you’re going to have to pay a steep price for the privilege of drinking anything here. There’s also a dress code, so suit up, guys.
