I still have never gone into Caper's or Frankie's... I feel like I need to know someone before going in.
I had friends who played (a band) at Caper's and Marina's. The former is definitely a contender for least appealing bar in K-W, though I've never been to Frankie's so can't say for sure. Marina's wasn't bad at all. Clean, well kept, and I saw her (Marina) cut off several people. The rule there was you were not allowed to mention Caper's.
I worked at a (now the only) bar in Elmira that had no shortage of power drinkers and fights.
These types of places have a very simple rule; don't be a dick and trouble won't find you. At the bars heavily frequented by students who have not yet learned to "handle their high", I can guarantee the code is a lot less simple.
My last words on this matter is, the vast majority of people who frequent places like Frankie's are none violent just as are the vast majority of students. Businesses that cater to both groups and who abide by the law are equally legitimate and valuable.
