I like the vibes here. On Wednesdays they have live performances. They clear up a dance floor on some days. They have good beers and I like their pulled pork.

What a great basement bar. Absolutely love the old school vibe. Excellent variety of draft and bottle beers as well as some great mixology. Food is available from the Corner Room upstairs and will be delivered to your table. After restaurant closes they allow outside food to be brought in. Friday night had two live bands that were excellent. Can’t wait to return.

Zenos is a classic State College location. Nestled underground near the corner of Allen and College, this is a place that resonates a certain vibe. A good selection of beers along with a menu of food items, this is a great spot for hanging out.

I'd never been to Zeno's on a weeknight early before. Very empty and brighter than usual, but still friendly service and a great beer selection. I wish there had been sour beers when I was in school. I would have had more options. I always liked the vibe at Zeno's and still do.

Old bartender was racist and rude, refused to serve me and my friend bc we were not American, even if we had legal age and documents to prove it. Disgusting.

Worth a stop for sure. Neat vibe here, and rather unique to the area. A must visit for state college dive fans.

old bald bartender is rude and aggressive with customers. told me i didnt know what i was talking about when i tried to order a drink here. other than that the live music is good. wouldn’t know if the drinks are good or not since the bartender told me the drink i wanted didnt exist (a tequila water sour).

I was assistant manager @ zeno's from 88 to 2006. I can't remember a Door Guy/bouncer who was a bad, unfriendly person! Why do I keep hearing about SS gestapo type door people? Whats up Dave?

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 a regular. As it is, I'll visit every time I'm in town!

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, the quality is there without an inflated tag. Drinks come fast and the bartenders don’t look at you like they want you to leave (an apparent rarity in State College). The trivia nights are a great time and typically come with a very personable host. The crowd they 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 both unique and consistent. It suffers from the typical bar bathroom fallout, but that’s more from vandalism than it is from quality control. Cocktail menus bring variety and experimental choices, which covers appeals across the board. This is THE bar experience if you plan on sitting down/standing for a drink in good company with a setting you can actually talk in during the week. 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 the harsh experiences I’ve had at other State College bars, this venue is one of my redeemers for the PSU nightlife .

Enjoyed their rye whiskey and beer combo for a special deal. We were visiting the town for graduation ceremony of a loved one, got into Zeno's on recommendation & didn't regret. The ambience is cool with loud music ( I would turn it down a notch). The attitude of servers at 12AM was as great as one could expect at start of shift. Love to visit again !
