About This Place

Located on Cheat Road in Morgantown, Purple Cow Lounge is a lively bar & grill that masterfully blends a spirited social atmosphere with satisfying, flavorful fare. Whether you're dropping in for a casual night out or staying late to enjoy the weekend energy, this local hotspot invites you to kick back, snack, and soak up the good vibes until well past midnight.

The star of the menu has to be their signature Chicken Wings, served with crispy fries—a perfect balance of tender, juicy poultry and golden, crunchy sides that keeps customers coming back. For those craving a zesty twist, the Hot Corona Wings pack a pleasant punch of heat that pairs beautifully with a cold beer. Appetizer selections like the Santa Fe Eggrolls and Chicken Quesadilla offer layers of bold Southwestern flavors, melding smokiness, spice, and creamy cheese that ignite your taste buds from the first bite.

Beyond wings and rolls, Purple Cow Lounge delivers honest, hearty dishes. Their antipasta and grilled chicken salads provide fresh, satisfying options for those wanting something lighter but still full of flavor. And don’t let the simple names fool you—dishes like steak wraps and homemade subs have been praised for generous portions and crafted taste that feel both comforting and indulgent.

The ambiance here is vibrant and welcoming, especially on Saturday nights when the dance floor comes alive with great music and an energetic crowd. Locals and visitors alike appreciate the friendly bartenders who make everyone feel at home—though one grumpy guy keeps it real—adding character to an already warm environment. It’s this genuine sense of community paired with excellent service that turns a visit into a memorable experience.

What really sets Purple Cow Lounge apart is its combination of local spirit and value. Take Friday nights, for example, where you can indulge in 10-cent wings—yes, 10 cents!—making it an unbeatable deal for those who love to eat, drink, and hang out without breaking the bank. The generous portions, cold beer, and games on the big screens ensure the atmosphere is never dull, especially during Mountaineers’ games or other local events.

Whether you're a Morgantown regular or just passing through, Purple Cow Lounge makes you feel like part of the community. From the moment you walk in and are greeted by a friendly bartender, to that last satisfying bite of your steak wrap or last sip of a cold brew, this bar & grill offers a relaxed, authentic experience that’s hard to beat.

In short, Purple Cow Lounge isn’t just another spot to grab a drink; it’s a welcoming hub where good food, great service, and a lively atmosphere come together to create evenings worth remembering.

    This is a fun place to go. Usually on Saturday nights they play great music for dancing. It usually gets busy after 10:00, then very busy around midnight because it is open later than all the other bars in Morgantown. The bartender's here are great (except the one male bartender seems a little grumpy). I will definitely go back.

    Nice bar with great attitude and service. Good bar food with homemade subs and other goodies that take it to the next level. Always have the current games on and just ask if you don't see your favorite team. If you are visiting from out of town they make you feel welcome and your supporting local!

    We pulled in on a Sunday evening around 20:00 with mist places not serving food . We walked into the Purple Cow and was greeted by a friendly bartender. My husband ordered a steak wrap and I an antipasto salad. My husband's wrap was off the chain and my salad was large enough to last for 2 other meals. Great place, great prices, great service.

    Stopped by the Purple Cow on a Friday night. Friends of ours said to stop by. They still have 10 cent wings on Friday night. We ordered wings (how can you pass up $1.00 for ten wings?) I was thinking the wings would be tiny but the were actually fairly big. Wings were good. Beer was cold and the place was busy (Mountaineers homecoming the next day) Overall it was a good experience. It is your typical dive type bar. But well worth the stop.

    I've never eaten here, but the place, people, and vibe are great! It opens a little earlier later in the week. Therrle is a nice little deck out back too, if you smoke...or just prefer to drink outside! It gets a tad hot when the sun's out though... wouldn't hate some shade. Just sayin'
