Fish Camp-Themed Pub to Rival Logie’s

After increased discussion regarding the alcohol policy at the Lakeview Methodist Conference Center, a few local bartenders decided to capitalize on their innovative idea. Instead of having members of Fish Camp bring their own alcohol to camp, the new, aptly named bar “The Ice Blue Fish” will cater exclusively to students partaking in “a freshman’s first tradition.”

Owner Brendi Raltor says that it will feel very familiar to those who loved their time in the camp room mixers.  “Fish Camp doesn’t make any of their Spotify playlists private, so we can recreate the same vibes that you felt at your camp. The only difference is that now you don’t have to hide the fact that you’re buzzed,” Raltor said.

Besides getting to hear “Mr. Brightside,” “Closing Time,” and the lesser-known version of “The Wobble” at least twice a night, patrons can select from an extensive drink menu. The Mugdown had the opportunity to sit with Raltor and try some of their themed cocktails, namely a sake bomb called The Partner Drop, a flaming rum shot called My Camp Flame, and a gin and sriracha shot called The Lip Tat. Beyond their singular shots, The Ice Blue Fish’s house special is a shot for your entire group called The Review Board, which includes 5 to 8 shots of well tequila that they boast “may or may not affect how your night goes.”

However, Raltor says the real attraction will be a very simple drink made of blue punch and vodka known simply as “Continuity.”   

Fish Camp Director Staff did not immediately respond for comment but has reportedly been telling counselors that, “if the freshmen are going to drink, they might as well do it in a safe, fun, and self-serving environment.”
