Jake’s Bar in West Chester is a favorite spot for college students — especially those at West Chester University — and locals alike who are searching for that old-school vibe and awesome atmosphere.

Squared away on South Matlack Street, Jake’s was proclaimed one of the best 10 dive bars in Pennsylvania.

With dollar beers, neon signs, and no-nonsense bartenders, this tiny bar has become well-loved by everyone of all ages. Whether you’re a college student searching for cheap drinks or have been a bar regular for years, you’re sure to find a way to belong.

Loud laughter, cramped seating, and an overall joy-filled experience are a part of Jake’s culture. Opened in 1938 by Jake Nastase, Jake’s has been a successful venture ever since.
