Big disappointment! Always went to Pat’s Tavern with family especially after football games. The new renovations are very nice but the selection on the menu is limited. Asked about the shrimp but told it was spicy so we tried the crab dip. Smelled great but it was so spicy you couldn’t taste the crab. The bread served with it was suppose to be grilled but it was burnt! Sent it back and never heard a word after. Sat in the bar area for over an hour the table in front of fireplace in bar was never cleared! Even after our dinner! I got the Moroccan chicken was good but not the dinner I really wanted after a football game. The chocolate mousse was nothing like the original mousse. It was so thick it was like eating the inside of a truffle. Unfortunately, we probably won’t be back unless we see a menu change. The place lost the traditional menu that had something for everyone!

Atmosphere and service was great. Hummus trio was delicious but could have had more veggies to dip. Too many pickled onions on my steak salad and bolognese sauce was a bit watered down. Desserts, key lime pie and chocolate mousse cake were awesome!

Everything we had was exceptional. Instead of the appetizers list we wanted a side of the brussel sprouts to start, which turned it to be a great opener. The mahi tuna, cooked to taste & spinach salad. A well decorated bathroom always amuses me and I liked the art in this one 😁😊😆

Best food I have had in a long time. It is a very down to earth atmosphere with friendly staff and amazing food. I got the tavern wagyu burger and my wife got the shaved prime rib sandwich. Both where cooked to absolute perfection. We also both got a bowl of the Beef and Barley soup which was to die for!!! We will more than likely be back.

Finally decided to check out the “newly renovated” Tavern. Atmosphere is very nice but it ends there. We got the pork chop, steak, and 1/2 chicken. All three entrees tasted like they were soaked in salt water for days. Brussels sprouts were burned, asparagus was super salty. Used to eat at Pat’s Tavern once a week (always outstanding). Will never go back to this place…..terrible. No good bread like you used to get and no good sides. The good old days are gone.

One of the few restaurants in State College for fine dining. Four of us had steaks. They were cooked perfectly. I had the prime rib. The atmosphere was very nice since they completely renovated last year.

Very cool place to stop in and eat at. Filled with tons of vintage photos of Penn State athletics. The staff in this place is first class! The fireplaces add a warm ambiance to your dining experience. I would definitely go back. Dine in: Yes … More

The Tavern has reopened and it is better than ever! We happened to be in State College on one of their openings nights and so we thought we would give The “new” Tavern a try. I don’t usually write reviews but The Tavern deserves to be recognized. It has a fresh new look that still maintains the traditions and nostalgia of the past. The Tavern’s updated menu has something for everyone…with options ranging from salads to seafood to pasta and beef which is locally sourced. Plus there are fresh new side options to choose from on the menu. Everyone in my group of six said their appetizers, entrees and sides were cooked to perfection and delicious! The desserts are amazing too! The service at the bar and our table was excellent. In my opinion, The Tavern now has the best food and service in State College. In addition to that, it is worth going just to see all the amazing PSU photos and memorabilia and have a drink at one of their new bars including an upstairs outdoor bar! There are fun new cocktails on the drink menu plus a few old favorites like the Original Sin. The Tavern and Adam’s Apple have always been special places but they are truly incredible now! It is a must go to when in State College for a visit.

This is a must stop in Happy Valley 😊. Even a typical meal has an amazing taste and twist to it. Yum yum. If you're more adventurous enjoy the more unique side of the menu, I recommend it. 👌. Philly egg rolls is a must. The veal is heaven and any red meat sauce pasta is great. There are a few sides the the restaurant too (bar, balcony, couches 🛋, patio etc. I'll be back.
