  If you are out in the middle of nowhere PA this is the best place to be! You must stop in, play some tunes on the juke box and admire the taxidermy. Must admire the taxidermy!!

  I looked forward to Joe's Bar as the national attraction it is. It lived up to all the hype but was one of those things I wished I'd never seen. If you want to be inspired while completing your dissertation on the art of complex taxidermy or the evils of gratuitous hunting, by all means, make the trip to Ligonier. If you prefer pretty things, visit Linn Run instead.

  So my Uncle Chris took me out for a western PA outskirts style bar crawl and this was one of the stops.  We walk in. 75 cent beers, $1.50  glass of wine. Our total bill was the cost of a drink anywhere else. They had some old school bowling skee ball game, and then my uncle tell's me there's something i have to see in the back. So we step back to see all these huge stuffed (dead) animals.  I'm not talking like deer heads and a set of antlers, maybe a courtesy nittany lion, seriously, he had a whole elephant. Not to mention zebra's, polar bears, and wild bucks from africa. I was astounded. Not to mention there is a whole 2nd floor that covers the whole span of the bar with more animals.  I had seen extinct animals i've never even seen before. It was incredible, and creepy, and that show was free. incredible. if it's still open, you need to see it.
  
  I found this excerpt on Joe's:

  Ligonier, Pennsylvania - Joe's Bar - Taxidermy Heaven
  
  At first, Joe's looks like any other small-town bar. But walk beyond the pool table, and you begin to realize there is something unusual at Joe's. Sealed in museum-like glass cases you will find amazing accomplishments of taxidermy -- a giraffe, an elephant's head, rhinocerous, ibex, skunks, tigers, lions, and almost every creature you could possibly shoot to kill. Joe's collection probably exceeds a hundred different species, and you can view them all; no admission or drink purchase necessary. [Carolyn Kegler, 10/22/2001]
