The Cell Block celebrates a decade of success
It used to house criminals but today it holds four bars, two dance floors, 800 individuals on any given weekend and is one of the premiere night-time spots in downtown Williamsport. The Cell Block, 154 W. Third St., which opened its doors in October 2001, has provided an ideal venue for party-goers and socialites to gather for nearly a decade. The club offers an assortment of entertainment and drink specials each night. In addition to catering to the older-than-21 crowd, The Cell Block offers a place for young adults, age 18 and older, to go and hang out, listen to live music and dance on Thursday nights. According to Cell Block manager Ryan Troutman, the 18-and-older night affords the club an opportunity to groom patrons. “It’s a good way to get people through the door,” he said. “ ... and once they become of legal age to drink, they’re already familiar with the place.” Troutman said the music is provided by DJs who have years of experience.
