They don't have a large food selection, but what they have is of great quality. The price is also very reasonable. Their cocktails are pretty good too.Keep in mind the entrance is facing Calder Way.
racist bartender named Connor kicked out someone for drinking a little and wanted to wait for a friend. I wouldn’t recommend at all. Very 1900 vibe and would not recommend anyone waiting for more then 599 to waiting for

Waited 45 minutes for food that we never got, service was super slow. The female server was actually a terrible server, so slow.

We came here to order cocktails and decided to also order the boneless chicken wings that were on special for half off. Our drinks were well made and the wings were a nice portion for the price. Also they run daily specials each of the days they are open. Overall this place was a good experience with our server being attentive and generous bar seating. We would recommend coming here but do check their hours as they are closed a few nights per week.

this place sucks asss. there is one server who is so incompetent i don't know her name but the staff needs to have some sort of brain cells to work here. she came to our table of 4 people and she asked us if we wanted any drinks or food. my one friend proceeds to say that SHE does not want anything. so the girl takes that as nobody wants anything and leaves. meanwhile we already paid a cover and wanted food and drinks. for the next hour we could not track the girl down and she was straight up avoiding our table. now I am not rude to the service industry ever and have no reason to be rude to this girl but this was just ridiculous. needless to say fire the brunette with long hair.

The best bar I’ve been to, State College or otherwise! The most friendly staff, the best drinks, and the best food! Every time I go I can’t help but to order food! It’s hard to choose a favorite employee at Jax, but Brad might have to be it! He makes the best vodka sprites and such has a happy and kind demeanor, he always aims to please! Thank you Jax, for making my college career!
Claire Matson
Brad and Eric are the best employees at Jax. Always so respectful to the customers and always strive to strike up a conversation. Great people, great food, great drinks. Highly recommend!

I love jax it is the best bar in state college. Either for the food or just the amazing staff it is definitely a bar to stop by and grab a drink. Special kudos to brad the bartender for his 10/10 service.

Jax has the worst costumer experience. Don’t go here. They only serve their friends and if you don’t go there every day of the week they do not treat you well. I wasn’t expecting much from bar food but even so, it still disappointed me. I also paid $7 for a high noon which is way over priced. Food experience 2/10. Bartenders are also extremely rude.
This is a college town so cheap drinks are expected but this bar was absolutely appalling. The countertops were sticky and the bartenders were rude. I’m a fan of cheap drinks but I’d rather pay double the price if I can avoid this place. Would not recommend.

the bathrooms are always soooo dirty. it smelled so bad in there. Also Brad was rude and served me the wrong drink.

I ordered nachos expecting mediocre bar nachos and to my surprise I found hair in my food as well as no cheese on my nachos.

my food took way too long. come to find out, the cooks put their friends orders in front of everyone else’s so people have to wait longer for their food. and when my flatbread came out it was undercooked and barely had any toppings. service was subpar.

Personally my favorite bar for many reasons. They have sales any day you could think of, and half off Long Islands on saturday (if you read the menu right). Every day of the week is a easy to get in and they have damn good service.
