The Locust Bar may never be clean. It may never get a paint job. But the Locust Bar will always be no-nonsense and cheap. And so it will always be popular. This dark, narrow space has four-person wooden booths on one side and the bar on the other -- no wait service in case you're wondering. Although there are about a dozen beers on tap, Locust is the place when you're making it a Yuengling night. Pitchers of Yuengling Lager and Yuengling Black and Tan, usually purchased two at a time, canvas the tabletops. It's also not a bad place to drink straight whiskey when you're in the mood to get good and drunk. Locust is habited by long-term hard drinkers and the younger generation just getting its feet wet. While not known as a feel-good establishment, the Sunday night karaoke features a very convivial drunken crowd, generously cheering on some of the city's most vocally challenged performers.

Creid01 - 05/25/2008awesome
jewpride6969 - 10/23/2006Great local bar downtown. Great bartenders, especially the dude on Saturday night. Great tunes on their jukebox. Be sure to check out the chicken fingers here if you're hungry. The chef doesn't hold back. Only negative was after a few too many shots, I was hit on a by a trans-sexual.

thepaqrat - 06/07/2005A nice neighborhood bar with a decent selection of reasonably priced beer, adequate food, expensive high-tech jukebox (why is it that a jukebox with 100,000 tunes never has the one you want to hear?) and an excellent Tuesday night pub quiz. Whenever I've been there, the crowd had been a good mix of student types and grizzled curmudgeonly regulars.
Cool Bar
mazeymooch - 01/29/2005Cool place to chill. Besy wings in the city(get the spicy BBQ). Good selection of beer on tap, from lite to magic hat and of course Guinness. Also a good varity of beer in the fridge, nothing beats $2 pint cans of PBR. also sells beer to go. Sundays are great for karaoke, go and enjoy the true bar feel...the hard wood booths, and rustic bar stools. Not a place for a first date, but a great place to chill with your friends and drink good beer and eat good food. Avoid the bathrooms though.

adh921 - 01/04/2005The first and last time I was in the Locust Bar was the night of November 22, 1963. Yes, that was the date of JFK's assassination. My friend Harry and I left our wives at my place, a half a block away from the bar. We went out with the sole purpose of getting smashed. We took a bottle of Christian Brothers Brandy and demolished it. We were sitting on a curb and I saw the Locust Bar. I said to Harry "I always wanted to go in there" so we managed to stagger in and proceeded to down, I have no idea how many, shots and beers. We acheived our objective (getting smashed) and managed to navigate our way home. I remember waking up and thinking I just had a horrible nightmare. My wife, unfortunately, brought me back to reality. To this day, I have not been able to go back to the Locust Bar and I get a chill every time I go past it. By the way, their sign has remained the same after all of these years.
