What a great bar! They have a good beer selection and lots of TVs for sports or other shows. There's ample seating and they do have food, but we just went for drinks. Even though we weren't locals, they were super nice and the bartenders were very accommodating. read more

Had the grilled cheese and fries here recently. One of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I have had. Perfectly toasted and a generous amount of tuna salad. The fries were also very good. Have had their blue cheese burger here before as well - very good. A very inexpensive place with great food! read more

From out of town and were lured in by "the best burgers in town" on the window. Sat at the bar, the bar tender was miserable - maybe she was having an off day. Asked for a burger medium, with steak fries, hubby got BLT with chips. My burger was WELL done! Hard on the edges, no pink whatsoever. The fries were delicious. Hubby's sandwich was okay. Very affordable. read more

Not a great place, barely good. My beer was flat, noticed some seasonal beer way past season on their taps. Waitress was busy, too busy, only one working besides the cook. She seemed impatient and not very engaging. The placed was rather empty, like the name states. Dirty bathrooms. read more

The building is not very spacious, and gets crammed full with quite a few college students on weekends, but there are still usually fewer students than The Hotel BY FAR. The food, drinks, and prices are GREAT! Their Reuben sandwiches, vegetarian black bean burgers, and wings are DELICIOUS! Also, you should definitely ask for "Cranch" (Cajun-ranch) seasoning on your waffle fries, it's fantastic! Also, not sure if this is still the case or not, but when I was in college (2013-2017) it used to be if you went on Wednesdays they had $1 wells. Might be $2-3 wells now due to inflation, who knows? ‍ read more

Nice place. Small and cozy. College town, so lots of young folks. But over all it was a mixed crowd. Food was good and generous portions. Prices were excellent. Would recommend for a quick bite. read more

The Keg is the go-to spot for my boyfriend and his friends to meet up on visits to their hometown, usually over the holidays. There's always a special and the beers are cheap! It's a low key spot with bar seats and around 10 tables. We usually sit in the back by the kitchen. It's less loud and crowded there. Our latest visit was also karaoke night, thankfully not too many people participated so we just got to listen to a great throwback playlist that the DJ put together. They have a bunch on tap - the likely domestics and some good local beers. I stuck with Tito's and soda or Modelo with lime. My boyfriend is grateful that they have Omission in bottles. Somehow in the end the tab was only about $20! Love a small town bar! They also have bar food and burgers, but we haven't ordered at our visits. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked good! I did order a bag of the Utz chips they keep at the bar. read more

The Empty Keg - Custom burger the way i wanted and amazzzing fries yumm - New American Near Me - Edinboro, Pennsylvania

It's the local hipster/art student bar. I am neither a hipster or an art student, but I've always enjoyed the many, many times I've frequented the Empty Keg. If you're going for food, they have some pretty stellar wings. Wet cajun is good. Their Italian wing (not the dressing, I wondered that myself... I have no clue what the sauce is) is unbelievably good. As for the bar atmosphere, they always have good beers on tap and plenty of bottles to choose from. The layout isn't the best, but the patrons are always friendly and eccentric and fun to get into conversation with. read more

The Empty Keg - Wet cajun and butter & garlic. - New American Near Me - Edinboro, Pennsylvania

Great cheese steak. Fun local bar with great food. Cheap beer. Nice local watering hole. read more

This place looks like the inside of a wooden bucket. It's run down and full of old heads. The menu is weird, I wish I had gotten the wings. The chicken sandwich is ROUGH. It's a frozen brick they threw in the fryer. A McChicken would've been better than that thing. The waffle fries are great. The service was poor, never got a refill. There are better places in Edinboro. This place is not for young people. read more

My favorite bar in Edinboro. It was always chill and the kind of bar where you sit around talk, listen to music and play pool. Can get crowded on some nights, but the patrons are the cool kind and polite....not the kind you get some other bars who are rude and pushy. Bartenders are SUPER quick and fair, and they're the kind that get to know you and your drink. read more

I would not recommend stepping into this bar/restaurant. We are senior citizens, out for a drive on Labor Day. Earlier this year we bought a Save Around Erie Coupon Book and had a coupon "Buy one menu item get one free up to $8.00 value.." The waitress was extremely rude from the start and it only got worse. We were afraid to ask for anything, even extra ketchup. When it came time to give her the coupon she said "I don't know if I can use this. I'll go ask." She came back around in 30 seconds and said she couldn't use it because our food was over $8.00. She clearly did not ask anyone nor did she understand the coupon. My husband kindly explained it to her. She grabbed the bill and coupon and stormed away. She came back, threw the check on the table and yelled "There! I took the ($6.99) hamburger off!! YA HAPPY NOW!!!" She stormed away. We were so shocked that my husband immediately got up, went over and paid the bill and we left , leaving half of our meal, uneaten. In our 60 plus years we have never, anywhere, experienced anything like this. She , most likely will not be let go, even if we called the manager, due to the shortage of servers. They take anyone that's breathing, at this point. If you do find yourself at The Empty Keg, and we don't recommend it.......DON'T BRING THE COUPON! read more

I'd come here more often if your bartender wasn't so impersonal and unfriendly. I usually go out on Tuesday's but stopped coming because of bad service! Not only does it take a while to be waited on, but food takes forever to be ordered and is mediocre at best. And beer has been long gone before another had been poured. It wasn't like this in the days gone past. read more

We were a little disappointed in this place. The beer was good though. The pretzel was warm and good. The Lobster Bisque was very good. I had the chicken patty Buffalo sandwich and it was just so so. I didn't realize that I needed to add the lettuce and tomato when I ordered. It was just an overlook on my part. The waffle fries were so so too. It ended up just being bar food. I will say the service was good. read more

We thought we were going to get a great burger. We got well-done, dry burgers (despite ordering "medium" and flat Pepsi. Place was a bit dingy. Not nearly as impressive as the previous reviews stated. read more

Perfect place for family reunion. The food was good and the beers were cold. We had plenty of space to gather with everyone in a casual setting read more

Love this place. Used to be alot more gritty back in the day, but recent changes haven't dimmed this 'Boro landmark's charm. With an expanded kitchen comes a huge pub menu and imho prob one of the best places in town for bar food. Decent draft selection, with crafts and all the regular brews as well. The Fri/Sat night crowds can be a little hard to deal with, but barring that still a good place for beers, food and friends. Played many a game of pool at the table with friends. Great jukebox, and still a great place to watch the Steelers play on the handfull of tvs around the joint. Caryout beer on request. read more

I went there because it said it had the best burgers in town. I assumed they were talking nonsense, as most places boasting "best" do, but their burger was actually really good! The service was good, too. I would go again. read more

My go-to bar spot in Edinboro. Reasonable prices and good bar food! Get to know the bartenders and they treat you well if you treat them well. The owner could certainly polish up on his people skills and business savvy, but the place is good in spite of him thanks to others who are in place. read more

Took over half an hour to get our food at 1:30 pm on a Saturday.What they say is the best burger in town is average at best,if you are looking for a long wait for so so food this is the place for you! read more

"We come here quite a bit and it's always enjoyable. The staff is awesome, the prices are great and the food is phenomenal for being a bar! It's relatively low key and not usually as crowded as the local college bars." read more
