  I'd say this is more so 3.5 stars for me overall. But if you are looking for a place where it is cozy, crowded with good people who actually will listen and absorb indie music and a good selection of craft beer, then this is the place.
  
  As an LA girl visiting for a few days, I was shown the local scene. I can see why this is a popular place. No pretentiousness. Just a place to chill out with some friends and hang.

  Gene's has been a fixture in Morgantown since 1944.  Cheap beer, good times, loyal regulars and hot dogs are the mainstays of this town landmark.  I come back here every time I visit home (sometimes it's my first stop).  
  
  There is no other bar in Morgantown quite like this one.  Gene's is an old school place...a throwback of sorts.  You step inside and you step back in time a bit.  
  
  Gene's is also great for Mountaineer or Steeler gameday and it's one of the few places in town where, during the summer, you can watch the Pirates lose twice.
  
  Food recommendatoins:  I eat my hotdog with chili, slaw, ketchup, and onion.  The chili-cheese pepperoni roll is some of the best drunk food of all time.  Do not get the cheese plate.
  
  The bartenders might be crabby and the patrons surly, but it's all just part of the Gene's Nation Experience.
  
  I have to update this to add in a comment about the music.  Gene's has been doing a great job of getting shows on the weekend and I've actually come back into Morgantown to check out a few.  Mostly local acts a few out-of-towners do a good job livening up the place on occasional Fridays and Saturdays.  The Gene's Nation Facebook page usually has updates on the schedule, but not until the week of a show.
