Federal Taphouse in State College is a popular spot for good food and a wide variety of beers. Located above a Target, the restaurant offers a relaxed dining environment with numerous menu options, including pub grub, salads, and vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free items. The beer selection is a major attraction, featuring over 100 choices for both traditional and craft beer lovers, with seasonal beers and invited breweries added regularly. Customers have enjoyed dishes like carnitas tacos, hot honey chicken with homemade chips, and various pizzas, all praised for their taste. The atmosphere is pleasant and not overly fancy, making it suitable for families and groups. Service is attentive, with staff often very helpful and professional, though some mention that they speak softly. Parking is convenient, and the restaurant has kid-friendly options. While prices are on the higher side and some dishes may be a bit too sweet or not meet expectations, many find it a great place to visit again, especially given the large seating capacity and excellent beer options. The venue has proven to be a good spot for large parties, with reservations easily arranged for groups.
