About Jeeter: Beloved Kennywood Mascot

Jeeter, Kennywood's beloved pink mascot, emerged in the 1970s as a whimsical and friendly character that quickly captured the hearts of park visitors. 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.

Though the mascot's active presence in the park diminished over the years, Jeeter remains a nostalgic figure for those who remember the park's golden era. Today, Jeeter's legacy lives on through themed attractions like Jeeters’ Pub, which celebrates the enduring charm and fun-loving spirit of Kennywood's iconic pink mascot from the 1970s.

Jeeter's Pub at Kennywood is an amusing spot, cleverly disguised as a kid-themed bar, nestled amidst the thrills of roller coasters and the echoing laughter of delighted children. On my latest jaunt through Kennywood, I stumbled upon this charming little watering hole and, let me tell you, it's as whimsically entertaining as it is out of place.

Walking into Jeeter's Pub, you half expect the décor to spring to life in a chorus of children's TV show tunes—maybe something reminiscent of an episode where Barney the Dinosaur explores the fine points of responsible drinking. It's decked out in bright colors and playful designs that might make you question whether you've walked into a bar or a very liberal daycare center.

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. 
 
If you're planning to grab a beer at Jeeter's Pub in Kennywood, be prepared for a bit of sticker shock—while the experience is charmingly unique, the beer doesn't come cheap. A souvenir plastic cup will set you back about $20, though they offer a slight consolation with a $10 refill if you decide to come back for another round. Ouch, indeed. While these prices might stretch the wallet, they do serve as an inadvertent crowd control method, keeping the beer consumption at a reasonable level. So, we'll give them that—it's one way to enjoy your drink and remember the experience every time you wince slightly at the bill.
