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.
