About Me
SAVANNAH DOWNEY
OWNER
Hi, I’m Savannah, a 20-year-old entrepreneur and the proud founder of Sub Pub State College! My passion for the restaurant industry started when I first stepped into the fast-paced world of food service over four years ago. I worked my way through various roles, learning firsthand what it takes to create an inviting, memorable dining experience.
When I dreamed up Sub Pub, I wanted it to be more than just another restaurant—I wanted it to reflect the unique spirit of State College. From sourcing ingredients from local farmers and brewers to creating an atmosphere that feels like home, every detail is meant to connect our customers to the local community and give back to the town we love.
Outside of work, I’m always on the lookout for new ways to bring people together and create a welcoming space for everyone who walks through our doors. Thanks for supporting Sub Pub, and I can’t wait to see you here!
