The Governors’ Pub is Open
Filed Under Uncategorized | 2 Comments
The Governors’ Pub is now open! They reopened on November 21st, and I went there for lunch the following Monday. I’ve been there for lunch twice now, including this afternoon for lunch.
The Centre Daily Times ran a brief item on the opening this weekend.
I often judge a restaurant by the quality of the iced tea it serves. On that basis alone, Governors’ Pub is a hit! It isn’t the best restaurant tea I’ve ever had (that title is still held by the former High Street Pub, whose tea required no sweeteners and was delightfully smooth and had a hint of fruitiness), but is is a far cry from the teas I’ve had that taste like they’ve been filtered through cigarette butts.
Our waitress, clearly new at the job, held her own while managing at least six tables of lunch customers.
I very much enjoyed my Hasting’s Stacker, a sandwich made with turkey, provolone cheese, tomato slices, coleslaw, and french fries, all on generously thick slices of what appeared to be a cross between pumpernickel and white bread. Served with a side of fries or coleslaw (I had fries), it is a bit pricey for Bellefonte at $8, but was well worth it.
I’m looking forward to trying the Governors’ Pub for dinner sometime soon. I’m particularly interested in seeing their wine list. I’m hoping we’ll see great things from Governors’ Pub. For now, I’m glad to have a nice place to eat lunch downtown again.

High Street Pub Reopening?
Filed Under Uncategorized | 2 Comments
Not necessarily, but today at lunch I saw a bright orange sign in the window of the former High Street Pub. I was across the street and couldn’t read the names, but it seems it will soon reopen as The Governors’ Pub. The new proprietors have applied for a liquor license transfer. I’ll try to stop by this weekend and check out the details.
I’ll post more information as I find it. As of now, I can’t even find a website for the new venture. Nonetheless, I’m hoping for good things. I’m so optimistic, I’m creating a new tag for this post, The Governors’ Pub.
