Car Pool is awesome. Great atmosphere, and best Mac N Cheese in Arlington for about 2 bucks, as well as $3 draughts.

Thanks Andrew - sorry for the duplicate thread.

So I just read through this thread for the first time. Didn't realize how many of us live in the NYC area...specifically Hoboken.

I used to hit up Tonic but I kinda got sick of the crowds. On the rare occasion I might still do one game there. Joshua Tree is a former PSU bar and that is where I watched the Michigan game in '05. Oh the memories from that day. They still get a pretty decent PSU crowd there and its more low-key. If you check the NYC Almuni site they have a few other bars around the city as well. One of the sanctioned bars is Bounce which was much more fun than Tonic IMO. Its almost like a super upscale Hooters. Very attractive waitresses but expensive. Also, grab a reservation if you can as standing room at the bar is tight.

In Hoboken, Texas-Arizona is the main option though Hoboken Bar & Grill usually has a pro PSU crowd. The owner is a big PSU fan and I think they even have some memorabilia on the walls...or at least used to. In Hoboken, you can't really go wrong, there will more than likely be at least one PSU fan in any bar you walk into.

Good recommendation - lets get rid of the J.S. stuff.......no need to keep seeing it on our own board. Hear enough from the haters.

Moving from Mechanicsburg to Carlisle in a few weeks, Usually go to games as my friend has amazing season tix on the PSU 45, 11 rows up!! Any good bars in Carlisle?

Great thread idea Sean!

Went to Texas Arizona 2 yrs ago after NYE. Crazy hungover and kept drinking only to watch MM throw 7-8 ints against Fla... Still a good place to drink away the pain...

Ill have to check out Market Cross for sure then sometime, Thanks for the info!! +1

just posting here to make access to this thread easy for future reference

I know alot people travel to Las Vegas during the fall. If you wanted to watch the game with alumni chapter out there I posted the link below. I lived there for 6 years so I spent my saturdays at the Alumni bar. They have changed locations three years in a row now so check the link if your going to be out there and want a place to watch the game.

Carpool in Arlington is great, that place is packed with PSU fans....However Ill be spending my Saturdays at Beaver stadium, first time season ticket holder!!

Yes, you are correct in that Coakley's in New Cumberland is the local chapter (Capital Area Chapter) spot. I'm the IT chair for the chapter so if anybody has any questions about joining, or wants to get involved, hit me up.

That's good to know. Will definitely have to hit it up. Thanks Josh.

Yeah I actually got the scoop on the whole ownership squabble at HBAG from one of the bartenders (the night she quit because the new manager was an ass apparently). I don't remember all of the details but it had something to do with in-laws, marital separation and all the ensuing arguments. Of course then the manager jumps ship to T/A and completely revamps the menu, beer list and interior decor while also taking a few of the bartenders. The beer club was my main reason for going to HBAG so after I finished that I quit going. T/A is great in the summer during the day when they open the place all up. Might have to get a L247 group to hit up some games there.

In pittsburgh, the all star spots grill in Robinson is owned by one of the butya's who was the kicker on the 86 team if I am not mistaken. They turn all tv's to Penn state and put sound on in the bar / rest, it's a bar, loud and noisy, but dining room is ok for kids, etc for the family too.
