Reservations
RESERVATION POLICIES:
Reservations can be made for tables in our dining rooms. Please note that our bar areas, the Adams Apple and Upstairs at the Tavern, are walk in spaces only and we do not take reservations for these spaces.
Parties of 6 or more will incur a 20% gratuity and will be presented with one check. Please do not make multiple reservations for one large party.
SPECIAL REQUEST POLICIES:
We do our very best to accommodate special requests, however due to the high volume of reservations we experience daily and the limited amount of window tables, we cannot guarantee a specific table request. We do recognize that many tables have nostalgic value to our guests, with that in mind, we ask our patrons to understand that we strive to proactively manage a high demand for general dining and must seat each table to its optimal capacity.
OUTDOOR SEATING:
Seasonally, we have two outdoor seating options for our guests, however, we do not take reservations for those spaces as our Pennsylvania weather is so unpredictable. All of our outdoor dining is walk in only.
EASTER SUNDAY 2025:
We will be closed on Sunday April 20th. We wish our staff and all of our patrons a very happy holiday!
PSU BLUE & WHITE GAME 2025:
We do not take reservations Blue & White Football Fridays and Saturdays. Due to the high demand for downtown dining, we will be on a walk in basis only.
