McLanahan's Downtown Market is a popular spot in State College, known for its great beer and tasty food. With a fantastic selection of nitro on tap beers, it offers a unique self-serve beer tap experience where customers can top up a card to pay for their drinks. The market is also a go-to place for delicious subs, hoagies, snacks, and groceries, making it a convenient stop for both locals and visitors. Many enjoy popping in for cookies, especially the chocolate chunk and peanut butter cup varieties. The friendly team is always eager to help, and the central location on South Allen Street adds to its appeal. With a mix of good food, drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere, McLanahan's is cherished by those who have spent time in the area, making it a beloved destination for many who want to relive their student days or just enjoy a meal with friends.
Great food for quick to go. Plus they always carry my tea (when the season Flavors come out).

Good beer, good food. Damn, I miss McLanahan's so much! I got so many great times there both in my master's and my PhD, I really hope to have the chance to get a nice cold beer there again. Maybe... some day.
