Z Bar Deli Restaurant

My daughters and I went there for a meal during arts fest. It's a gem of a location - right downtown and two outdoor patios. Unfortunately, the food was HORRIBLE! I ordered an eggplant dish which came out uncooked and partially frozen! It was a special and so hard to believe that they don't cook with fresh foods but frozen. My daughters' meals were not good either.  The table next to us complained about their food also.  They definitely take advantage of their location and know that people will go there because of that and not because of the food.  We go to PSU football games. We will never go there to eat again and would highly suggest that others avoid it too.

The deli has a huge menu! The food is typically good but service is barely passable. I would suggest not going at the begining of any semester while the staff is getting retrained. Go a few weeks into the season when the staff is on their game. Lots of seating and some is outdoors when the weather is nice. They have a huge bar with a good selection of pretty much everything.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME beer bar!  So nice to see a bar like this in what is a sea of college bars.  You're not going to find Natural Light tall boys and Pabst Blue Ribbon pounders on special here.  Great beer and a welcoming atmosphere!

They had 30 or so beers on tap.  Hit happy hour by accident and enjoyed two fantastic brews.  The adage, "You get what you pay for", holds true and prices are comparatively higher than other bars so be forewarned.  The prices are not unfair or inflated, they're simply what you'd expect to pay for good beer anywhere else.  Bartenders were very knowledgeable about their beer and were able to make suggestions to several other customers who weren't beer connoisseurs.  Lighting and decor were spot on for what the Z Bar is marketed as.  I will definitely make this my first stop next time I visit PSU.
