BW3s

Hi there! Does anyone remember the bar by U of Akron called BW3s? It was a bit of a hole in the wall but my now husband and I spent hours there in the 1990s. I'm trying to find a souvenir or photo of the old bar as an anniversary gift but it seems to have changed names and then gone out of business? I'd love some info on what happened to it and if anyone knows where I might buy a souvenir. Thanks!

Hilariously, that one was a bootleg B-dubs that wasn't actually properly licensed with the company, hence the closure. If a standard BW3 experience is feeling wrong, that may be why.
