Great beer, service, and atmosphere! I don't visit downtown as much I used to but I always stop at Pickles when I'm there. It's not just a college party bar it's also a great spot for an afternoon drink or lunch. The staff is always friendly, quick, and accommodating! I'll continue to stop at Pickles whenever I'm downtown this summer!

Me and my friends got kicked after one beer. After asking the bouncer for a reason I was given none. I will be taking my business to Zeno’s instead!

Pickles is a chill sports bar that has nice food and good beer along with some standard cocktails. They have good fried pickles (of course) and they serve a pickle spear with almost every savory dish. They also constantly have menu takeovers and rotating food options. Overall, a fun place to watch a game with friends/family!

I had a great burger here. They have an amazing assortment of whiskey and bourbons. The staff are very knowledgeable of thir product line. They are well equipped to discuss your preferences and make relevant recommendations.

The bartender here knows how to make a VERY good drink. Try the whiskey sour or the old fashioned. We all had burgers. Very fair priced and were solid. We all agreed we would try them all again and recommend them (I don't know if it was a special burger night or not, but they ranged from your classic style to one with gravy.....they were all very good from our group). The fries seemed to have a special seasoning on them (like sour cream and onion) which was different (people all liked them...IMO....just a touch salty, but I'm not a chef). It was trivia night and it was a good time. Age range in this place was all over the place. There were college students along with people 65+ and everyone in between. If you are looking for a place in Stage College where you won't feel out of place, this is it. Good food, great drinks, and a very casual atmosphere.

Pickles had great drinks, some of the cheapest you can find in the area, and still super delicious! The ambiance was great, not too crowded and the building itself had high ceilings so it wasn't claustrophobic. The bartenders and staff were so attentive, caring, and great at their jobs! We will be back!

One of my favorites downtown. Seriously the best staff you’ll find in a bar (anywhere), great drinks, fun music and some legit bar grub too.

My boyfriend and I went to Pickles on Wednesday during the burger special day. There was a selection of 3 burgers. I got a Chipotle burger and he got the Korean burger. We both really enjoyed them. There was 6$ bourbon pairing, which is the restaurants single barrel bourbon option which we also got and thought was great and went well with our burgers. Overall, great food, kind staff, and perfect bar atmosphere.
