We stopped in for a quick lunch while we were working in town. It's a short walk from my wife's…read morework. This is a very historical building in town and the bar has been open since 2014. It was around noon on a Wednesday. We were greeted by an amazing bartender named Shayne. This time of day you can sit anywhere and he brought us cocktail and food menus. My wife still working for an unsweetened iced tea and I (not working) ordered a troegs IPA. The beer and cocktail menu is abundant and it it wasn't noon midweek we probably would have ordered from it. The food menu is nice and short. They offer great food specials (today was half priced tacos). She ordered a cubano with sweet potato fries. I ordered a pigs in zen sandwich with easily the best steak fries ever made. The menu said it's all locally sourced food and made in house from scratch. These sandwiches proved it. The pigs in zen sandwich is overly stuffed with pork for $12 and the coleslaw is definitely house made with a great taste and crunch. Her cubano? She couldn't stop raving about it. We both brought a half a half sandwich home. FYI the fries are a $4 add on and totally worth it. $16 for a huge pulled pork sandwich with a ton of fries? I'm sold. There is a lot of other food on the menu, but we were just in for lunch. It's a must visit. They will also let you try the beers on tap because they are seasonal.

I found the waitress nice and the food was good. However, service was slow from beginning to end…read more Very odd considering it was not crowded. I'm open to my experience being an anomaly. It's more of a bar environment than a restaurant experience. I wouldn't recommend if you have children or are pressed for time, but ideal for take out.

Overall not a bad first visit. We were seated immediately on a Thursday before graduation weekend…read moreso that was a plus. Very clean inside and loved the open layout with many table types. Our server Jonah was very attentive and even had others asking if we were good during our visit. Food overall was ok. The house made chips were great! Burger was tasty but needed something else (tomato/lettuce maybe?). The pretzel appetizer was huge and that was very tasty. Overall I'd def come back and try something else!

Admittedly, we went in on a Saturday afternoon around 3pm for a table with 4 adults and 1 child…read more Was told it would be 60-90 min wait which wasn't a problem in the moment. I went in to get a look around and saw that there were several tables for 2 near the bar area. I asked the manager/host if we could put the child and one of the adults at a table for 2 and the rest of us would sit at the bar nearby. "No. We don't split up parties." There were NO tables for 2 that were waiting by the way, And at least 1/2 dozen open seats AT the bar. I told him that was fine. Could we cancel the reservation for 5 and put in for a table for 2. He said "NO". Why I asked? "Because we don't split up parties, and he wouldn't put a kid and an adult at a table for 2. Unwavering , disrespectful, and rude was all I can say to describe his demeanor and attitude. I guess they don't need all the customers they can retain. I'm sure the rent is astronomical and they clearly can afford to lose people. I saw more people leave than stay after interacting with Mr Happy. The satisfaction came when another party of four people overheard the interaction, and walked out without waiting. When they walked by us they said they left because the host was rude and not nice to them too. Funny thing about word of mouth.... Plenty of places in State College... don't bother with this place.
