History

Thirty-two TVs, give or take a million

Our listing let the numbers speak: thirty-two plasma TVs, three floors, Top Forty music and eight gazillion people jammed in on a Saturday night. In 2008 a Penn State blog, recommending it as the local Penn State bar, rounded up to a million flat screens and called it the best atmosphere its writer had experienced outside State College¹. The address, 411 Third Avenue, now belongs to Bella Union, which was still drawing reviews in August 2026^{2, 3}.
