Champs Downtown

Awesome sports bar location. Plenty of TVs and some cool seating for sports events. We sat at the bar for dinner and had a great experience. The service was very friendly and quick. Food was all made very fresh and everything was cooked perfectly. Tons of draft beers. Would definitely recommend for dinner or drinks hangout.

I kind of detest champs, so many TV’s, the sound of sports game and trap music all meld together to make a cacophony of horror. BUT! The service is great, Alec did such a great job, he is only training but he could make any drink you ask for. Loves the vesper, so 007 of him! They should promote him!

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. Everything you'd want from a sports bar although it gets very busy!
