After the opening of the BYU Milk and Cookie bar was a great success, BYU administration has announced that the bar will serve purposes other than serving food.

“We understand that some BYU students will not have a normal college experience, which would include going to bars. We decided to provide them with a pseudo-bar experience so they can relate to their non-Latter-day Saint peers and hopefully convert them later” said Erin Janson, head of BYU Dining.

In efforts to replicate a real bar, the Milk and Cookie bar will introduce a $2 cover charge to get in the door. A bouncer will be hired to make sure that the line doesn’t get too crazy. All guests will have their ID checked before they are able to be served. Only those 21 and over will be served. The “bartenders” will perform last calls at 9 PM and anyone still in the bar will be kicked out.

Jared Kinsman is a senior who has spent nine hours a day at the bar since it opened. 

“I just broke up with my girlfriend and I’m just trying to take the pain away,” said Kinsman, “I know I have a problem. I’m just in a really dark place right now.” 

The Milk and Cookie bar is now open, but attendees are encouraged to line up early.
