Zephyr Pub & Spirits

we've always had good times at the zephyr. can't complain. it's a good summertime hangout and you won't have to worry about obnoxious frat guys hanging here.

I've had an awesome time every time I have been here. This is usually because it's a home visit and I'm hanging out with a friend that loves to have a good time, but don't let that take away from Zephyr.

The place is awesome because it has 3 levels, indoor and outdoor. There are two bars, levels 1 and 3: the 1st floor is more like a sit down and relax bar, the 3rd floor is get your drink and socialize, maybe even dance. The drinks can be pricey if you don't know your way around, but there are always decent specials and unless you are spoiled and picky, you can adapt to these offerings after a few rounds.

You can get lots of different vibes going around this bar, so it's easy to find a crowd you like and stick with that one. That's why I like this place so much.

Three bars in one, the Zephyr is remarkably average for a complex of its size.

I came here the first day Yuengling was being served - no complaints there.  The atmosphere came off as hipster - PBR and all.  The jazz musician that came in to play was quite good, although I suspect larger bands have been here in the past.  I found the best thing about this bar to be the patio.  You can't beat Christmas lights hanging around trees and poles.

The clientele are generally older and more mature.  You seldom see a frat boy in here trying to pick up girls - his game will most likely not work here.  The staff wasn't horrible, but it's nothing I'd rave about either.

If you're here early enough (before 10 pm M-Th and before 11 pm F-S), you can order from Taco Tontos and their pick-up window they have facing the patio; however, you have to call first to place an order.  They're always a treat, and can help make you feel considerably less drunk if you're already wasted by then and have to drive back.

As a college town hipster bar, I find that the fact that it's there is convenient - I personally don't like the popular bars.  As a hipster bar in general, though, it's just meh.
