Mario’s Fishbowl / Richwood Avenue Confectionary

see previous rating. Completely agree. WVU rocks, and so does this place. Selection is fairly bad (you might get Sam Adams, and Mad Dog 20/20 is quite common). Food is not great, but ambiance cannot be beat. Throw a quarter into a hige vase hanging over the bar, win a beer. Eat 60 Saltines 10 minutes, have your name on cardboard hung there forever. Great memories with friends there, and if you are in Mo-diggity, please visit.

The place is as old as dirt. Jesus probably frequented the place back in the day. Can’t beat the tacky artwork which consists of WVU sports nostalgia and lots of hand-written cards with all the eating/drinking records set there over the past fifty or so years. Nothing special beer wise, but everything is served in a Frosty Fishbowl... huge mugs that came with the place when the original bar owners started the place up all those years ago. Everyone who has ever gone to school at WVU (since the 1950’s or so) has enjoyed a Frosty Fishbowl of beer before going out on the town on a Friday or Saturday night. On homecoming weekend, you’ll be waiting in line to get in and be standing ass-to-elbow once you finally enter. A "must visit" when in Morgantown.
