Reviews for Zeno's in State College, PA
I've been doing training for work in State College and Zeno's has made me feel right at home. Such a nice place and filled with... great people. The staff couldn't be nicer and even the regulars have been generous in welcoming me. If I lived nearby I'd be aregular. As it is, I'll visit every time I'm in town! Read more
Classic, great place to hang before a concert, funky, fun good service, beer and food.
Given my experiences in other State College bars, Zeno?s has my glowing praise and approval. Drinks (mixed, tap, etc) will never... run you back hard on pricing like a lot of venues will. Granted, there?s a balance of price at most places. At Zeno?s, thequality is there without an inflated tag. Drinks come fast and the bartenders don?t look at you like they want you to leave (anapparent rarity in State College). The trivia nights are a great time and typically come with a very personable host. The crowdthey gather is the type you?d be able to walk table to table and talk to on most occasions, and the bar?s setup itself is bothunique and consistent. It suffers from the typical bar bathroom fallout, but that?s more from vandalism than it is from qualitycontrol. Cocktail menus bring variety and experimental choices, which covers appeals across the board. This is THE barexperience if you plan on sitting down/standing for a drink in good company with a setting you can actually talk in during theweek. There?s a class about it that barriers Zeno?s from a lot of the party bars. Party bars are enjoyable, but typically more?party? than ?bar? in State College. Zeno?s has the quality to justify for second trip as much as the first. Given some of theharsh experiences I?ve had at other State College bars, this venue is one of my redeemers for the PSU nightlife . Read more
My review is based on experiences at Zeno's over 30 years. I spent many evenings, nights, and early mornings at Zeno's in the... early to mid-90s as a student at Penn State and have returned quite n a few times over the years. Zeno's provides a great pubexperience. There's always been a great beer selection. The bar staff has always been no nonsense, but friendly. The usuallydim lightning and wood interior give any visit a unique and mysterious feel. Read more
Dive bar with a lot of charm. One of my favorites in State college! Tasty beer and fun drinks. Great live music!
Great staff, good drink, amazing live music. It?s the best bar in State College in my opinion.
If you are in State Park and like live music with a nice collection of local beers, Zeno's is the place you should have on your... mind. This is an underground bar with nice collection of beers. If you are hungry, they got you covered with some deliciouswings and other options. Live music is crazy. Not enough space to dance but you can't resist to dance. Place has some sportoptions as well like billiards table and dart board game. Overall nice place to hangout. Read more
