Extremely affordable, but not for everybody. Small, unassuming, and smokey, this place has seen many better days. Though that could be said about the entire town, it’s particularly true in this case. This place was a bus station once upon a time, but now it’s very much a local hangout. You can feed 2 people with drinks for less than $ 6 here, but only if you don’t mind eating in a place that allows cigarette smoking. Café means something a little different in this area than it does anywhere else. Sure, it will probably have coffee and sometimes food, but what that really means is video lottery gambling machines. In this establishment the machines are in a separate room, so the place still has the feel of an old diner. The collapse of the US steel industry hit Weirton hard. The unfortunately named Fun Café is in the shadow of the old Weirton Steel mill and reflects the poverty of the region. The service was friendly and the food couldn’t be much more affordable, but don’t expect an upbeat environment. A lot of folks in Weirton don’t have much to be upbeat about.
