You go to Harry's because it's Harry's. The most iconic Purdue Bar, with absolutely no competition. If you're there in a game day, you'll likely find 3 generations of Purdue Alumni rubbing elbows. Fair bar prices, good bar food, and decades of history. If you want to experience Purdue, you'll wait in the line to have a drink or grab some grub here, or your experience will simply not be complete. You might find my name carved in a table in 1982, and find my son's in a post from 2009. Have fun!

It was so terrific to see the Purdue Boilermakers win while sitting in this iconic West Lafayette landmark. The burger was delicious, and the service was amazing. But the atmosphere was electric during the game!!!! I highly recommend it!!!!

I've been here twice, and they've been pretty busy both times, but the service was still great! Food was awesome. Extremely affordable food & drinks!
Came in for lunch with my roommate and friend. My roommate has a service dog, and he was obviously with her when we came for lunch. Immediately the bouncer (Jeff) told her that no one can pet him and he can’t sit on the chairs…like obviously he’s a SERVICE DOG. He proceeded to ask the bartender (Allen)what to do with us. The bartender said, and I quote, “we know you have rights but we know ours too! If anyone touches him or he gets off that floor you’re out of here! ALL OF YOU ARE OUT OF HERE!” And he yelled this at us. Then the bouncer asked for our ID’s so we gave him our ID’s and he looked at them. And then he asked for a second form and as we were getting them out he said in an incredibly annoyed and pissed off tone “Jesus Christ.”My roommate just turned 21 the other day and we were told that Harry’s has great food so we just wanted to have lunch and celebrate. We were not prepared for the rudeness and angriness shown by the staff as soon as we opened the door.Otherwise our waitress, who was on her fourth shift, was incredibly nice.

Great lunch spot near campus. If is definite the college hang out, as noted by the bouncer at the door checking IDs for lunch. Their Bloody Mary was pretty standard, but the lunch was exceptional! I had the burger and it was great. My husband had the Philly cheese steak and he said it was the best he's had a bar. They have lunch specials daily, which looked like a hot. We also tried the chips and onions rings, and the onion rings were the winner. It's a casual environment with plenty of seating the first and second floor.

I haven’t been to Harry’s for a long time, but so happy to be back. Perfect in every way on food, atmosphere, and service. My only negative comment is their website shows menu prices that have clearly not been updated in a while, even though the website shows copyright of 2024. Otherwise, I’ll be back to Harry’s very soon! ??

I have been coming to this place since I was 17 with a fake ID. This is one of those places that you absolutely must stop by and add to your life's resume. There is almost always a long wait to get in but it is well worth it!All of the staff is super nice and the service is second to none.I will say that this is the only college bar I have ever been to that puts restrictions on what songs you play on touch tunes. But you know what it's their business so they can do what they want :).This is truly a staple in my life and I hope that you will make it one of yours. Oh and try the catfish y'all ;)

I requested to play free bird on the TouchTunes and they skipped the song, uncultured people
Bouncers are blatantly racist and extremely rude, the seating is old and gross and sticky, and you can smell the shit from the bathrooms. The only good thing about this place is the cajun fries and the one bar tender with the beard who works the late weekend shift. Shoutout to him for not being racist or mean.

you can play as many card games as you want, but if you want to play board games you’re going to get yelled at?? i’ve been here for 10 hrs and you’re going to tell me that now after you’re servershaven’t said a word all night? at least be consistent.

I have travelled the world, been to hundreds of bars and clubs in my life, and NEVER, EVER have I experienced “customer service” this horrific, ignorant, and completely uncalled for! The middle-aged bartender screamed at me and three other people all because one member of the party was not familiar with being asked for a second form of ID. Once she pulled out a second form, he refused to look at it. He even threatened confiscating her real ID. This took place on the day before thanksgiving, at a time when there was not much business in the bar but the other customers present were definitely witness to this extreme behavior. Might need to rethink a career in customer service if simply explaining to a customer how a second form of ID works is too stressful. That level of anger and delusion should be a health concern.

Friend had a TERRIBLE experience with the bouncer. He was rude, aggressive, and degrading to her as she tried to get her ID out while he was yelling at her. Check out all the one star reviews at this place- the common theme is the bouncer. Awful.
