Bar Avalon West Chester
The bar side of Avalon, the Italian kitchen on East Gay Street. Cocktails and a wine list when you want the room without the full sit-down.
Barnaby's - West Chester
Barnaby's has held down the corner of South High Street for decades, a wings-and-beer bar that fills up with West Chester University crowds. Grab a booth for the wing specials or a stool at the bar for the game.
Bier and Loathing
Craft beer bar on West Market Street with a Hunter S. Thompson wink in the name. A rotating wall of taps and a seat to work through them.
Cutter and Cannon Spirits
distilleryspirits
Small-batch distillery running 200-gallon pot stills and seven house spirits, from Admirals Choice Gin to a gunpowder-strength double-barrel rum. They're out on Carter Drive for now, with a bottle shop and tasting room in the works at 104 E Gay Street.
Good, Bad & Ugly
The bar hiding underneath Stove & Tap, with a games arsenal running pool, foosball, darts, and shuffleboard. One drink has a way of turning into three games down here.
Gryphon Cafe
A coffee bar on West Gay Street from the Gryphon roasters, built for a latte and a slow laptop afternoon. Baked goods at the counter, university students two tables over.
Jake's Bar
Jake's is a South End neighborhood bar on Matlack Street, off the downtown grid. The kind of low-key, unpretentious spot regulars keep to themselves.
Jitters Bar
A no-frills sports bar on West Gay Street with the games on every screen and pitchers on the table. This is where West Chester students and locals land to watch the Eagles.
Johnny O's Speakeasy
A speakeasy-style bar tucked off North High Street. Low-lit and cocktail-focused, a step away from Gay Street's busier crowd.
Kildares Irish Pub - West Chester, PA
Irish pub on West Gay Street with the dark wood and the proper Guinness pour. A downtown standby for pints and pub food.
Levante Brewing Company
The production brewery on Carter Drive keeps its taproom open Tuesday through Sunday, food trucks and live music rotating through, with a house hazy they bill as pillowy-soft. Saturdays and Sundays in season, they also pour at Highland Orchards.
LoCali Wine Lounge
California wines on Market Street: Napa reds, coastal whites, and a schoolteacher among the owners. The $25 deal gets you three pours and a pizza from Pizza 316.
Marquee Bar And Lounge
Marquee is a bar and lounge on North High Street, a newer addition to the downtown night-out options. Cocktails and a lounge setting a short walk from the courthouse.
Mayday Coffee Shop
A High Street coffee shop with a bright counter and room to stay a while. Espresso, drip, and a good spot to meet a friend downtown.
Mimi's Tea Cottage
Afternoon tea on South High Street, poured from a cottage full of mismatched china. Book ahead for the full spread of scones and tea sandwiches.
Ryan's Pub
Ryan's Pub is the Irish corner of Gay Street, Guinness on draft and a kitchen that does the pub-food basics right. A reliable spot for a pint and a burger downtown.
Saloon 151
Saloon 151 anchors the Gay Street bar strip, a bar-and-grill by day that turns into a late-night crowd after dark. Come for the beers and burgers, stay for whatever the DJ has planned.
Slow Hand WC
Cocktail bar on North Church Street built for the unhurried drink. Low light, careful pours.
The Social
The Social brings a cocktail-lounge feel to East Gay Street, with craft drinks and a room built for a night out. It leans more polished than the bar strip a block over.
Square Bar
Square Bar is a neighborhood bar on East Chestnut Street, off the Gay Street rush. Expect a solid drink list and a lower-key crowd.
Turks Head Cafe
A Church Street coffee shop named for West Chester's original name, Turk's Head. Espresso and pastries, and a corner to sit while the borough wakes up.
Turks Head Wines
A California winery with a West Chester tasting room: the wines are made and bottled in Napa, then poured on Church Street alongside a chef-driven menu. Members of the CRU Club get a private wine lounge of their own.
Twin Valley Coffee: West Chester
The West Chester outpost of a Chester County roaster, pouring beans roasted out in the Twin Valley. Order a pour-over on Church Street and settle in.
West Chester Biggby Coffee
A Biggby Coffee location in West Chester. Posts seasonal drinks like the Campfire Latte and Mother's Day BOGO promotions. Active Instagram presence with regular updates.
Wrong Crowd Beer Company
A West Chester brewery on Hannum Avenue pouring its own beer in a low-key taproom. Small operation, good crowd, name notwithstanding.
