14 Of Upstate New York’s Best College Bars

facebook/wolffsbiergarten

College bars come in all shapes and sizes.  Dive bars, sports bars, alumni hangouts, bars with great food, etc.

We have chosen 14 collegetown bars that might interest you the next time you are visiting your student in one of these places. We did not head deep into the "dive bar genre," because for the most part parents and alumni like to visit the bars on this list also (as well as students, of course) so they tend to be appropriate for all ages. And most serve food. And several of them serve awesome food.

Here are 14 spread all over Upstate New York that you might want to check out.  If you are a visiting alumni from 10 or 20 years ago, or if you are a parent taking your kid on a first time campus visit, these are what you might expect to find near any campus.

Wow! Look At This! "A Star is Born" 29 Celebs Who Were Born in Upstate New York

There is a whole lot of star power on display in this gallery. We feature 29 celebrities who were born in Upstate New York. Many of the names are instantly familiar, such as Lucille Ball and Kirk Douglas, but it is the lesser known stars that are the most fun.

You will recognize most of these people by their faces rather than by their names. Still, no matter how small the role they played in a film or TV show, these actors left an indelible mark wherever and when ever they appeared on screen.

I mean, seriously, who can ever forget Buffalo-born actor Sorrell Booke? Name ring a bell? No? How about his character "Boss Hogg" on the hit TV show "The Dukes of Hazzard?" Now I am sure you remember him!

This list totals 29 celebrities, but we have a feeling that we are missing some. So, if you know a TV or movie star that was born in New York outside of New York City, please let us know over on our Facebook page! We really do want to hear from you!
