After 44 years, landmark TCU-area bar closing in favor of Buffalo wings
The University Pub, a beloved and timeless TCU watering hole for two generations of Horned Frogs students from the days when Coors Light was new through today's age of craft cocktails, will close in the wee hours early May 18, according to the bar's Instagram post.
Buffalo Bros, a pizza-and-wings restaurant that often draws overflow crowds to watch TCU and Buffalo Bills games, will expand into the space, owner Jon Bonnell confirmed.
The University Pub, 3019 S. University Drive, opened in 1981, when TCU had about 6,200 students and accepted 93% of applicants.
The current enrollment is about 13,000 and the university admits about 40% of applicants.
'Sometimes you eat the bear; and sometimes the bear terminates your lease extension so they can turn a legacy business into your neighbor's dining room,' the bar's Instagram post read.
'We'll be around, having as much fun as ever, until 2am May 18th. It's time for Dick to come home. Dave says he loves you.'
Within 10 hours, Instagram users had posted 260 comments and more than 1,000 sympathetic 'likes.'
On a TCU sports message board, regular commenter 'BrewingFrog' commented, 'Oh, the zillions of brain cells killed in that place.'
'TxFrog1999' commented, 'The last vestiges of the TCU I knew and recognized are now lost to time.'
Buffalo Bros, 3015 S. University Drive, serves Buffalo, New York-style chicken wings and tenders.
It also serves sandwiches such as Buffalo-based Sahlen's hot dogs and a roast 'beef on weck,' referring to a caraway-seeded kummelweck roll.
The restaurant has often added an extra tent to accommodate customers during football season, when it draws Buffalo Bills fans from across Texas on Sundays.
The expansion is expected to be finished in time for football season, Bonnell said.

Not long after, Abedin and Alex started dating and quickly fell in love. Alex told New York Magazine that Abedin taught him what true love looked like, saying, 'I hadn't been in a relationship for a very long time — 10 years or something like that — that had lasted for more than three months. And it's, like, the first time I realized I had been mistaking lust for love.' Abedin shared the same sentiments, telling the magazine that she "had never imagined I would meet someone whose life so seamlessly blended with mine.' Leading up to their engagement, the pair had been photographed together at several events, including at the 2024 Met Gala and a White House state dinner honoring Kenyan President William Ruto. Abedin is a former aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and was the vice-chairperson for her 2016 presidential campaign. She was formerly married to U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner. The two share a 13-year-old son named Jordan. Alex is the son of 93-year-old billionaire George Soros, and the chairman of Open Society Foundations (OSF), the $25 billion grant-making foundation founded by his father. He previously spent two years as president of his father's super PAC, which works to support Democratic politicians, according to the Washington Post. Read the original article on People

Huma Abedin Is Married! Inside the Final Fittings of Her Givenchy and Erdem Wedding Dresses
Shortly after the engagement party the couple decided they'd have two ceremonies in the Hamptons: a small one with family and close friends to sign the Nikah in honor of Abedin's Muslim faith and the Ketubah in honor of Soros's Jewish heritage, and a larger celebration the following day inclusive of a cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. For the smaller gathering, 'I'm wearing this ethereal, unbelievable Erdem dress,' Abedin says. She fell in love with the label about a decade ago while working in D.C. 'I had to give a very, very stressful testimony on Capitol Hill, and I was very nervous about it,' she says. 'I wanted to feel and look my best. I remember going into [a] store and finding the most extraordinary black dress with white floral on it. It was Erdem.' At first, Abedin was a little overwhelmed by the task of deciding on her wedding looks—but she felt wholly at ease during her first appointment with Moralıoğlu, which was held in February at Erdem's London atelier. 'The minute I walked in, I just felt very relaxed,' Abedin recalls. 'He had so much love, care and attention in the way he approached me.' Moralıoğlu, who also dressed Abedin for the 2024 Met Gala, presented Abedin with a series of sketches he had drawn based on references she shared during a previous conversation—among them Grace Kelly's wedding dress. The belt of Abedin's Givenchy dress was adjusted to sit slightly higher on the silhouette. Photographed by Carl Timpone Despite initially planning to forego a veil, Abedin fell in love with a custom Givenchy shroud. Photographed by Carl Timpone 'During the initial fitting, we explored different silhouettes to help define the shape and understand how she wanted to feel in the dress,' the designer says. Several Zoom meetings and a handful of custom swatch options later, they landed on a 1930s-esque long-sleeve silhouette, marked by a high neck and a delicate bow around the waist. 'For the fabric, we selected a beautiful French Chantilly lace—crafted in a historic mill in Caudry, dating back to 1840—and mounted it on a smooth Italian silk crepe. We wanted the lace to feel light and delicate, capturing a sense of movement as she walks.' Hidden details imbue the gown with more sentimental touches. 'The thing that made me gasp when I saw the dress is that [Moralıoğlu] embroidered my father's name in Arabic, inside, right by my heart,' Abedin says. 'My father passed away in 1993 and he was a very instrumental person in my life. I think about him every day.' Abedin and Soros's initials are also embroidered inside the dress, in light blue thread on a delicate ribbon, as the bride's something blue. 'The entire process felt incredibly collaborative and seamless,' Moralıoğlu says, '[and] the dress is everything we had envisioned—graceful, classic, and quietly powerful. It is a joy to be a small part of Huma's special day.'
