Supposedly someone said they were moving it from the Club in Beaver Stadium to Pegula with some type of tie in with Woman's Hockey Playoff game.
That would be cool. Women’s hockey doesn’t bring in a large crowd ( 1000 is big ) and the club space is large enough for a couple hundred folks or more.

Good news wrestling fans, the students are out of town on break starting this weekend. Consider dropping into these places and others Tgar fails to mention.

Bill Pickle’s Taproom. Swig and swill, you know the drill.

Local Whiskey, a Tgar favorite. Grab the South Street Cheesesteak, do not get a small one. Tgar always orders his with a bottle of Malbec but Tgar is a snob. Lots of whiskeys, beers, cocktails.

Central Reservation, shared hallway with Local Whiskey but do not let this fool you, they do not sell the cheesesteaks even though they share a kitchen. Go to here for Tgar is their Central Reservation Burger, solid. Fun bar stools if you are taking your lovely.

Brothers Bar and Grill, Massive, lots of screens, national chain, not a part of the local pizza shops. Standard bar fare with Chicken sandwiches nd a French Dip.

Across the street ( Allen Street ) is Champs, students are scarce, head in there for Kamikazes and Miller Lites. You know the drill and do not vomit in the bar, use the alley.

Big Spring Spirits and tasting room. Lots of fun cocktails poured with Big Spring Spirits from the Distillery in Bellefonte.

The Tavern. Yes, the Tavern. Service and food can be great or completely missing, it’s a roll of the dice. Again, if your Beautiful companion is traveling with you, try to get a table outside upstairs in front of a fire place if the porch is open.

Cafe 210. You guys know the drill. Take bail money.

Antifragile, this spot is popular with the guys that frequent the Lions Den here. Solid beers, snotty vibe, cheesesteaks out front on weekends. ( Tgar finds them mediocre but others love them )

Zenos, Doggies, Phyrst, what can one say. Use condoms and tip your bartenders generously.

Federal Taphouse. A level up above Target, big space, 100 beers, large bar, solid scene. Decent br food too boot.

Triplett’s, this used to be Whiskers at the Nittany Lion Inn. It has been renovated, but still a nice place to bend the elbow.

Faccia Luna, a short Uber ride down Atherton for some wood fired pizza, salads, beers and wine. The Altosur Malbec at $ 9.00/ glass is the best wine deal in the area. Pizzas are delicious and the salads are solid as well.

Enjoy And behave. LOL.

So that covers tonight for the boozehounds on this board. Any suggestions for what they can do between/after sessions the rest of the weekend?

Really good question. It is going to be super nice outside all weekend so walking campus and downtown would be one idea. Get a little sun, air and exercise.

Drive out to Bellefonte and do the same.

Or, go for a hike along Spring Creek in the Canyon section. Always a nice way to kill a couple of hours.

Just got off a cruise ship and unfortunately won’t make it to State College for this weekend’s action.

I will of course be in steamy Cleveland in two weeks. I am slightly less intense than my avatar would indicate. Probably a happy medium between Papa Ferrari and cstroke’s avatar. Same goes for my wardrobe.

I'm not sure the details but there was a Hospitality Pass between sessions to go to Pegula that included drinks and food as an alternative to leaving to head to restaurants downtown. With student break there may be staffing issues at the regular hot spots in town.
Central Reservation seemed to be staffed well yesterday.

What can I say? Another great weekend of wrestling with old and new friends!! It was great renewing old friendships and making new ones. Til we meet again...WE ARE!!

I'm sure you enthralled many of those PSU fans you met for the 1st time with some of your tales of your exploits over the years. It's not bragging if it's the truth. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
