Champs Downtown is more than a bar — it's where State College comes together to cheer, celebrate, and make memories. Located right in the heart of downtown at 139 S Allen St, we've been the go-to spot for Penn State fans, locals, and visitors alike.
Three floors of fun, a legendary 360° bar, massive food portions, and a staff that treats you like family. Whether it's game day, Hockey Valley weekend, or just a Tuesday night — Champs is always the right call.
Every Game, Every Screen
Dozens of TVs throughout the bar mean you'll never miss a play, no matter where you sit.

“Had some beer and watched Eagles throw interceptions Monday Night Football. We were clearly oldest people there. Good crowd. Excellent service.”

“Lindsey was a fantastic bartender. After what I'm sure was an insanely busy day with hockey valley, she went out of her way to help me with drinks and remembered my name and order each time I went up! Sometimes when bars get packed and the staff gets overwhelmed you can feel like you're bothering them, but Lindsey took her time to be kind to me and it really stood out to me. I always love Champs, but last night was the best!”

“Champs is a statement in State College. This location gets busy but it's quite large. The 360 bar has a lot of seats and, besides the first floor, there is an elevated "half floor" and downstairs floor with pool tables and other fun stuff. They card at the entrance. The times we've been here we sat at the tables and at the bar and service was fast and the servers and bartenders were very very nice. They have a large selection of beers and they are cheap; you can get the 16 or 20 oz and take out crowlers. Food is good and the portions are huge.”

“The service here was top notch. We had a large party and our server was personable on time and had a great vibe, we really felt taken care of by her and the food was made quickly and they let us use the space for a long time.”
