But the original Cogans on Colonial Avenue is the place that seems almost contractually obligated to exist in every town with a university \u2014 the punk-rock pizza shop with cheap beer and booze and equally cheap slices, with karaoke at night and a patio full of smokers.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Cogans pizza doesn\u2019t need discounts: Two slices, which they call one slice, is a meal at $3.59. And yet here you are each weekday evening drinking $4 glasses of perfect beer: Aventinus weizenbock, potent at 8% ABV. Cheap beer is cheap daily, at $2. And on Tuesdays, expensive beer is also cheap, with an extensive menu of crafts for just $2.50 till 9 p.m. Almost every day, you can get a pint and a meal for less than $10 total. It is a bachelor\u2019s paradise whose crowd remains nonetheless an equal opportunity cross-section of bohemian Ghent: skatepunk and motocross fan, service industry and tipsy cheapskate.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Daily specials: 49-cent wings on Monday, $2.50 drafts Tuesday till 9 p.m., $2 wells and $1 half-pints of PBR on Wednesday from 8 to 9 p.m., large pizza and domestic pitcher for $16.99 on Thursday, BOGO appetizers and $3 bloodies and \u2018mosas 11 .m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>#garlicknots #pizza #ghent #norfolk #ghentnorfolk #norfolkva #ghenteats #cogans #coganspizza #cogansghent #pizzajoint #happyhour #virginianpilot<\/p>\n<p>photo credit: Yoon S.
