9 Best Sports Bars in State College

“Great service tonight! Well done Abigail.“

“Restaurant was great! Food was good and loved the bartender’s drinks service. Thx Elana!“

“We ate at Champs Sports Bar in State College last night and had a really good experience. It wasn’t overly busy, so they were able to seat our party of 10 pretty quickly.

Our server and bartender were both outstanding. They were friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu and the different drink options. Several people in our group ordered mixed drinks while others had draft beer, and everything was made perfectly.

The food was excellent and came out in a timely manner. One thing to be aware of is that on weekends they do not allow substitutions or changes to menu items, so everything is prepared exactly as listed. I didn’t want onions on my Italian sub, so I simply picked them off. Not a big deal, and I understand they do this to help keep the kitchen running efficiently and get food out quickly.

Overall, we had a great experience. Champs has really good food, excellent service, and a fun sports bar atmosphere with plenty of TVs for watching games. I would definitely go back.“

“Great cheesesteaks, not too crowded“

“I havent been to Applebee's in a while but they were nearby while traveling and their latest menu options looked pretty decent. I ordered the Bourbon Chicken Skillet which was outstanding although heavy on the garlic. It was quite flavorful and a reason to come back. Staff was extra courteous and the atmosphere is typical for the chain. Ive already planned a family dinner night to come back since the prices were quite decent.“

“Had lunch there today as part of our office's quest to find the best pizza in State College. I was impressed with their new lunch menu that let's you pick from 3 crusts and any toppings by the slice at a reasonable price. The flakey crust was unconventional but very tasty. I went to the Hi-Way downtown in college but have largely forgotten it but was pleasantly surprised today and will go back for lunch much more often. Will they win our office vote for the best pizza? Not sure but I suspect they are in the running.“

“The Arena Bar & Grill probably has the best wings in State College with an incredible selection of sauces to choose from. Their menu goes beyond wings with plenty of great food options, and the friendly staff makes every visit even better. Wings are 75 cents on Monday nights!“

“Genuinely the best bar at State College. Great food, great atmosphere, cheap drinks. I ordered the sweet pulled pork Mac n Cheese and its was amazing. I also got the Frozen Kentucky Coffee drink based on recommendations from my friend, that was great also. The atmosphere was the favorite part because it’s a country themed bar from the music to the decor. Came to State College for Ella Langley, stayed for Pickles.“

“Get a drink-shoot some stick!“
