This sports-themed hangout offers a menu of pub fare, dozens of draft brews & lots of big TVs.
We were pleasantly surprised with the tasty food at this place. I ordered their chicken tacos and they were out of the world. Their Mac & Cheese and fries were also very good. During weekdays they run a special $2 per taco upto 11 pm. Definitely worth the food and drinks. Server was very nice, took time to explain the food menu and service was prompt.
This review is being edited after I fought with Champs management for over a week trying to get someone to look into my situation. I visited here on July 2nd. The following week I noticed an extra $18 added to my tab after I left a cash tip. I did not write in a tip on that receipt. The food and service was great but I dont put up with this. Spoke to Greg the following Monday. He took down my info and told him the info. Then called again that Friday to check in. He said he hadnt gotten around to it but would have someone look at it when he got help later that day. Never heard anything back. Then called the following week and spoke to maybe the owner and addressed the situation to him. Not sure who he was and said Greg would be in later. Called later and was told he wasnt there. This had been 2 weeks after and not one call back to me. So I called my bank and told them and disputed the charge. I wanted to dispute the entire thing because an establishment who allows their employees to write in tips and does nothing about it doesn't deserve a damn dime from me. My wife's family might love this place and the food is great but the management team is as trash as penn states basketball team. They definitely need some ethics training and keep an eye on their staff.
Decided to head to champs sports bar on N.Atherton St. to watch the penn state whiteout game. Was seated quickly, and had an awesome waitress. She was super helpful, polite and took care of us all night while the game was going on. Food was very good, no complaints there. Atmosphere was great, felt like you got a little piece of being at the fame even though we weren't. Would definitely recommend for a penn state fan looking to get around some fellow fans. And would recommend if your looking for a solid sports bar to hang out at or want to try something new.
Fun place, with an above average atmosphere. Food was good. Wait staff was very accommodating and polite.
We ordered the meat & cheese raviolis with the meat sauce and a burger — washed it all down with a blueberry cider and local beer. Not sure busy (because it was prior to football / school starting) but it had plenty of seating and TVs to come hang out with a crowd.
