It may be many years since I was a student at Penn State but the Phyrst is still one of my favorite bars in State College. You'll find live music every day so you don't want to miss that. My favorite? The Michael O'Brien Band. Check them out once and you'll understand.

This dive bar like atmosphere is everything a college bar should be and with plenty of drink options beyond your traditional Irish pub standards you have some options.
