All three are decent campus type bars. Murhpy's and Legend's are the sports bar types while Brother's has more of a dancing atmosphere to it. Brother's has dollar drafts on thursdays and Legend's has dollar bottles on Wednesday.

All three are also located on Sixth street and Green in Champaign, so feel free to check them out. It's a nice college atmosphere without the underage freshmen with fake ID's.
