It looks quiet, but the bar was busy! I got a rare pic when everyone was seated and bartender was out the picture on other side of bar.

Have not been back here since the mid-1990's and it hasn't changed a lick! Got in right as they opened on a Sunday afternoon, so we easily got a table in the main bar area. Man, I'd forgotten how small those tables are, especially as we had four people trying to eat a full lunch!Went right back to my go-to order...a beer, a double cheeseburger with fries and we also got a side of onion rings to share around the table. The double cheeseburger was just as I had remembered...grilled on a flattop with nice char. Fries seasoned with Harry's spice were decent (could have been a bit crisper) and dipped in ranch dressing. The onion rings were on the thinner side but with great crunch.Because of the nostalgia factor, they let us in behind the bar to get a group shot (for posterity's sake). So glad to have made it back after all these years.

Harry's is still a fun place to hang out with friends and reminisce about the ole college days. The facility is relatively clean and in decent repair considering the age of the facility and the mass of college aged customers. The service team is excellent at handling chaos. They all hustle and help each other out.The onion rings were really good. A thin piece of onion with a thin batter. The batter was pretty heavy on the salty taste. They were fairly greasy as well. However the fried batter had a nice crisp. The stringy pieces were easy to eat and eat and eat - delicious!The tenderloin was also very good. The meat was a bit thin with a non descriptive/mildly greasy breading taste. It was moist and accompanied by the usual garnishments. The bun was mildly heated and soft. Overall a decent sandwich.

I've always wanted to come here, I know a number of different people who graduated from Purdue, I finally had the chance to check it out, I was in west Lafayette for work, and once I was done for the day, I decided to go check out Harry's.It was a great time! The staff was very attentive and friendly, I enjoyed checking out all of the historical pieces and I enjoyed a great Bloody Mary! Can't wait to come back again

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.

PERFECT for a college town bar to meet friends & fellow graduates and their families !Music blasting and laughs all aroundMy first time here while in town for a graduation - DEFINITELY a favorite go-to for the student graduating we were in to visit so we had to go !Upstairs is far brighter with more windows letting light in - so during daylight hours try upstairs to see if room.Food is decent bar food & you can even go healthy with naked chicken which is beautiful grilled white breast meat chunky strips (I didn't grab photo)If you like banana peppers - don't miss the breaded n fried banana pepper rings - sooooo good They take their maximum head count allowed seriously - so once they are "full" you don't get into until others inside leave.We had an amazing server - I didn't catch his name but he took great care of our party of 10The only cruddy thing is the employee with an awful angry demeanor who was setting up the heavy metal corral fencing and carelessly tossing around the very heavy metal connectors. He's got anger issues and those waiting in line at 11am in 5/10 almost got injured

This place is an institution in an institution! Apparently over 100 years old, this spot used to be a speakeasy in the prohibition area. I won't spoil all the folklore here but there are some things you will learn when you visit such as the term "go ugly early", "Drink em pretty" and "fishbowl" I think if I gave all the juicy here it will spoil all the magic, despite this being a review. My point is just..go there! The place is small and crowded, but the drinks are insanely cheap, and the bartenders were attentive and polite. Special shout out to the bouncers. I was walking out and didn't even notice a small altercation just outside the door. They politely asked me to wait until the door opens again before I could leave. I was told fights and altercations are rare here so I came on an off night. I like how their website has a legends and stories page where you can get some folklore and other unique, once-in-a-lifetime episodes that occurred here.

Id say it is the most known saloon in northwest Indiana. I got first drink as a 21 year old there. Overall it is grimey with full of dudes in there. Franks hot dog outside is damn good though. I always had gotten the Fat Boy which is chicken parmesan fries & marinara ranch in bread. Really tasty walking back in the sheer coldness to apartment! :)

To me this is the quintessential college bar. It is literally adjacent to the Purdue campus. They even sell Harry's gear at the bookstore! You come here for cheap eats and drinks. It has a laid back bar vibe. Nothing fancy. Drinks served in plastic cups. We went Saturday afternoon and walked in easily and had a couple Old Styles. As it get later in the evening there is a line and it is much more packed. It is a Purdue must!

This jerk kicked our whole group out because one person was resting her eyes. It was very unfair.
