West Chester is a college town, which generally doesn't equate to to great food. But West Chester is also an exception, with some genuinely delicious cheap eats. Square Bar is a hidden gem of a drinkery, but they also offer a surprisingly good cheesesteak.



The bar itself is a huge wrap around, which leads to many conversations with strangers, a sure sign of good times.


I decided to skip the wings this time, because I saw someone eating a cheesesteak. Believe me, it had nothing to do with the "sweat" teriyaki flavored "souce." I'll be back sooner than later to give you a full report there...


Boy, was I glad that I went this route. The meat was very finely chopped (big fan), and the serving was hearty. Extra cheese and fried onions were all this needed, and I preemptively knew that. I usually always order that way.


The gooey cheese punctuated the well seasoned meat, with the soft roll soaking up all of the grease. It was close to perfection. Yes, I did just say that. Nearing cheesesteak perfection. Nowhere near downtown Philadelphia.


Not even an inkling of chewy gristle stuff in there.


And just look at that perfect ratio of meat to cheese to onion to roll.


They use Amoroso's rolls, which do the job just right. You may know that I have a soft spot for Liscio's above all others, but I will give the former a pass here because whoever's in the kitchen here knows what they're doing.


Cheap drinks, good people, and an amazing interior might just make the Square Bar my new spot.

We visited the Square Bar a couple of times after going to Roller Derby and I loved the vibe and "authentic" interior - good to know the cheesesteak is a keeper! And that Sweat Souce - please do check it out next time, I'm interested to see if it is sweat, makes you sweat, or is sweet ;-)
