The Tavern

On Stepping into the restaurant, you’re greeted by the ambience of an 18th century inn. Pewter plates glow from antique corner cupboards; burnished brass lamps shine softly on mellow wood, brick and stone; two fireplaces invite you to linger awhile. The photographs and prints that grace the walls are a treasury of Pennsylvania history and Penn State tradition. Informally, over the years, The Tavern has become an intriguing gallery-in-a-restaurant. The menu, which changes daily, allows the chef to choose the “best of the freshest” for each evening’s guests.
