WELCOME TO Gene's!

“I hope you’ll stop in and experience Gene’s! We have Amazing Live Music, Great Food, Fine Traditional and Craft Beers and Games!” – Al Bonner

Morgantown's First Beer Garden, Established 1944

GENE'S BEER GARDEN traditional pub

Gene’s Beer Garden is the oldest running bar in Morgantown – started in 1944. Gene’s has always been known for their famous hotdog (best in Morgantown), cold beer, as well as friendly staff and regulars.

Gene’s also features a great venue for some of the best live music in Morgantown! Al Bonner, owner and operator, took over Gene’s from the original owners, the Perilli Family, in 1985. Gene’s is tucked away in the Greenmont neighborhood of Morgantown.

Walking into Gene’s is like taking a step back in time. The environment is always friendly and you’ll feel like a regular immediately. If you’re looking for a great place to relax, listen to music, watch games and hear/tell great stories, you’ll love Gene’s.

Our mouth-watering hotdogs with a cold one are always a favorite for a quick bite
