An Irish bar that throws people for being Irish. Complete incompetent staff who are racist against Irish people.

Downstairs was all college kids of course. Service was terrible. Bartenders were cute but really bad at bartending. Cover charge was necessary because they are so slow at pouring beer that they’ll never be able to pay the rent. They needed twice as many bartenders as they had. Especially since none of them could pour beer and chew gum at the same time. We left.

Bouncer wouldnt let us in when we were going there for the start of our night. Not a drink in us and he claimed we were too drunk. Unbelievable. Very disappointed and sad especially because we were going to meet our family in there for a graduation.

Last night, I came here to watch live music. Luckily, it wasn't too crowded, so I could enjoy the music while ordering "The Karen" for my drink. It tasted great and refreshing. I also ordered some snacks, which were delicious as well. The service was good, and overall, this place is worth the visit.

A PSU classic that has managed to keep itself relevant to the times. Old school enough to accommodate alums like me, but hip enough for current students. Love it!

Waiters are so stupid. Probably know what you’re doing before you work there!

Awful. Worst bar ever. Please shut down and put a better bar in.

Come on, it's the Phyrst - gotta go 5-stars for this State College institution. So the floor might be a little sticky, and the place reminds me of a scene from Silence of the Lambs, but besides that, you just gotta love this relic. Just grab a Guinness here if nothing else.

The food was decent. I had an issue with the step in front on the waitress station that had no warning that it was there. I fell flat on my face without any alcohol consumed. I told the waitress that it should be marked with at least some yellow caution tape She said she would tell the mgr. I tried calling but the mailbox is full. Gotta admit I’m an older woman and I got pretty beat up. I watched 3 other people trip up it while I was eating

This place has really improved lately! Apparently they got rid of their incompetent manager and got some fox named Kyla to run it and she is killing it! It's so much cleaner, the bartenders are so much faster, and the atmosphere is starting to get fun and happy again! Thank goodness for Kyla!
