They’re baaack! It’s time to welcome the students of West Chester University back into town. And to find out where the favorite spots are, we asked the newly founded Dub C Bar Stool to help.
Johnny Gigantic, one of the page’s organizers, filled us in about his popular Facebook page and what’s hot for students. All summer, their name has been attached to some of the hottest parties and events in town, and they’ve promoted two large charity events (Side Bar’s Golf Outing benefiting the Crime Victim Center of Chester County, and a Bikini Car Wash for diabetes). Now they are preparing for their first semester alongside the students and community.
Johnny says: “This summer has shown us that just because school ends does not mean that the nightlife stops. DubC Bar Stool fills the news feeds of over 2,200 West Chester “fans” every day with constant updates of food and drink specials from all the great and unique bars and restaurants in West Chester. We are not to be confused with promoting Ram King or Dub Fest-like activities which have brought negative attention to the students and town. We consider ourselves the antithesis — responsible, legal, fun. In the near future we will be promoting and giving back to the university, more charities and the community. Like West Chester itself, we pride ourselves on getting BIGGER and BETTER every day.”
Here is what some DubC Bar Stool fans told us:
Valerie Rivera:
“Barnaby’s is my favorite place in town! They appeal to all ages, not just the college crowd. WIth seven bars, there is a place for everyone to grab a seat! Nothing beats the Barnaby’s Patio any night of the week. Great atmosphere, great specials, and a great staff!! Every bar and restaurant in West Chester is unique and that’s what keeps the night life going strong.” 15 S. High St., West Chester, 610-696-1400.
“Kildare’s is my spot! Not only because I work there, but all the bartenders and all other staff are cool, and very down to earth. It’s easy to get a drink there any night because we hustle! Nice to have the patio for smokers and people who like to be outside while enjoying their drinks! Great specials all the time! Come check us out!” 18 W. Gay St., West Chester, 610-431-0770
Bobby Bigtime:
“The food and nightlife are both delicious at Kooma. The sushi is the best around and so are the women that come there. A more mature vibe, great drinks, the best DJ’s and the hottest girls in West Chester. I’m glad to be back this fall to be a part of an awesome nightlife scene that caters to many different people.” 151 W. Gay St., West Chester, 610-430-8980
James Thorpe:
“I know that when ever I get the craving I either pick up or order from Culinary Deliveries! Check out the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich — SO GOOD!” 348 W. Gay St. West Chester, 610-696-4102
Meg Tuohey:
“Nudy’s is a hot little spot for a killer breakfast and their staff is very accommodating. Iron Hill has a great Sunday brunch menu with a great mid-afternoon atmosphere. Barnaby’s is, as always, an all-time favorite every day with great drink specials and the best happy hour in town! From the music to the people, it’s always a good time. Nudy’s, 300 W. Market St., West Chester.
