Federal Taphouse

Nestled on the second floor of the Fraser Centre above Target, Federal Taphouse occupies a spacious 10,000‑square‑foot venue at 130 South Fraser Street in State College, Pennsylvania. Large floor‑to‑ceiling windows frame a fresh view of downtown, while 17 flat‑screen TVs keep sports fans entertained.

Open daily from noon, the taphouse serves lunch, dinner, and late‑night bites, with price points ranging from affordable bar snacks to premium entrees.
