Was asked to leave the bar after having one drink because I was dancing to music they were playing. When I asked why I was required to leave the bouncer responded. "visible intoxication". When asked what that meant both the manager and staff refused to explain. Clearly I was being targeted.
This is a college bar. If you're looking to mingle with college-age people, this is the place. Karaoke on Wednesdays, DJ the rest of the week. Gets crowded with alumni during football games, Arts Fest, etc., but very reasonable crowds the rest of the time.
Great music and environment overall with cheap prices and tasty drinks. The wait time can be long depending in the night.
The negative reviews are obviously from out of towners expecting to find Studio 54 or something. You need to compare this to other college bars, not the cocktail lounge at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square!
I am in town on business from Nashville and I love karaoke so when a college guy acquaintance recommended this place, I scurried on over late night! It was not bad, Cheap drinks, great karaoke dj and sound system. Just be aware that if you are not a college kid, the social atmosphere will be awkward. Its literally all college kids and most dont seem too welcoming to anyone over 27. If youre lucky, the weird kid will make conversation with you. Id bet its like this anywhere in this town. BUT if you fit the local demographic you will probably have a good time here!
It's THE great American college bar, so if you want to party, go to The Gaff.
Gaffeoke on Wednesday nights is one the best open mic nights in State College. Can't beat $3 tall boys and $6 pitchers at a quick service despite the large crowd.
