    Known as "The Gaff," this bar has been a staple in State College since 1848, making it one of the oldest in town. It's tucked away at the rear of 212 E College Ave, accessible via Calder Alley. The space is a lively mix of rustic charm and modern energy, featuring a spacious dance floor illuminated by vibrant lights. On Wednesdays, "Gaffeoke" reigns supreme, with DJ Shooter hosting karaoke nights that draw a crowd eager to belt out their favorite tunes. The drink menu boasts signature liquor pitchers in various flavors, alongside 24oz tallboys of Bud Light, Miller Lite, Twisted Tea, Yuengling, and Budweiser. The Gaff is a haven for students and alumni alike, offering a welcoming atmosphere that encourages mingling and dancing into the early hours.
