Designed to embody the fun and playful spirit of Kennywood, Jeeter was often seen throughout the amusement park, engaging with guests, participating in parades, and appearing in various promotional materials.
Jeeter's vibrant pink color and cheerful demeanor made him an instant hit with children and families, becoming a symbol of the joyful and carefree atmosphere that Kennywood is known for. During his heyday, Jeeter was featured prominently in the park's marketing campaigns, merchandise, and special events, solidifying his place in Kennywood's history.

Editor review
As I sidled up to the bar, I was half expecting Jeeter himself, doing his best Barney impersonation, to pop up and cheerily encourage me to try their special brew. "I have a favorite beer," he’d sing in that famously enthusiastic tone. "It's called Log Jammer. Log Jammer. Log Jammer, would you like a chug?" And indeed, there it was on the menu: the Penn Pilsner Log Jammer, a beer apparently named after the beloved, now-defunct water ride that once soaked many a Kennywood visitor.
Sipping on the Log Jammer, which, against all odds, did not taste like it was brewed with actual log-flavored water, I couldn’t help but smile at the absurdity. Here I was, in the middle of a child-themed bar in an amusement park, drinking a beer named after a ride that no longer existed, surrounded by décor that could give a cartoon a run for its money. The experience was uniquely Kennywood—utterly delightful, slightly bizarre, and undeniably memorable.
So, if you find yourself at Kennywood, craving a break from the adrenaline and maybe a touch of adult sanity, hop over to Jeeter’s Pub. It’s the perfect place to take a load off, enjoy a Log Jammer, and revel in the whimsical clash of childhood nostalgia and grown-up pleasures. Just don't be surprised if you leave humming theme songs from your favorite childhood shows, beer in hand.
