AXEMANN TAVERN
SELINSGROVE, PENNSYLVANIA
Retreating from Williamsport going east to Jersey, stopped by Selinsgrove to visit AXEMANN TAVERN, opened February 1, 2024, An extension of Bellefonte’s Axemann Brewery (a 27,000 square-foot former Cerro Metal factory run by Penn State grads since 2020), this red-bricked green-windowed tavern features a lacquered wood L-shaped bar with wood paneled wall, twelve draught handles, large TV and refrigerator. Tiffany lights hang from the black art ceiling at the high top-seated main dining room.
Across the street from long-time fixture, Selinsgrove Brewing, Axemann Tavern has the relaxed feel of a cozy British pub. There are wines, spirits plus food from Smokehouse Fixx and Sunday Brunch to go along with well-balanced standard brew fare.
