We joined another family after traveling to the State College area with our high school aged…read moredaughters. After living elsewhere for several years, I was really excited to see a brewery scene popping up in the area and the food trucks sounded like a cool idea. We arrived at 6:30 and put our food order in by 6:45. By a little after 8, our food had still not arrived and the food truck had told our husbands that they weren't equipped for the food demand, but a staff member came and told our girls that they would need to leave at 8:30 when their 21+ policy kicked in. I can understand not wanting small children running around in the evening, but our girls were sitting and quietly talking. I explained that we had been traveling all day and that the food truck was behind, and they seemed understanding, but everyone still felt rushed to eat quickly and leave. I think the adults were getting more cranky about being hungry than the teens, but takeaways from this visit is that the food service may be understaffed to deliver even a simple order and they will start enforcing their 21+ policy at 8:30 even if you're still waiting on an order. Probably a very cool spot for 21+, but I would not bring my teens here again, even before 8:30 for the food trucks.

The Brewery seemed tired (kind way of saying it is rundown). I don't see the draw of going to the Brewery with so many other options nearby. I think there are better dive bar options in State College.

They remain the best egg rolls in memory...although admittedly, I was probably nearly blacked out when eating them. I do remember copious amounts of whatever they were deep-fried in. Sold out of a little window in the middle of the bar, probably unsanitary as hell but wtfc at that age and in that state. Egg rolls and a few mugs of draft beer at 1am...who could want for anything more? Bottom line, under the foregoing circumstances, The Brewery was perfect!

I was disappointed with our most recent visit to The Field…read more We were here in January and had an excellent experience. The service was spot on, the food was cooked perfectly, the burgers were very tasty, the criss-cut sweet potato fries with hot honey and vinegar salt were fantastic, and the shakes were delicious. That first visit was memorable enough that we were excited to come back. This time, we waited about 50 minutes at around 5:30PM on a Thursday before graduation weekend. Honestly, that part was understandable, and we were prepared for a wait. We had a nice booth for five and ordered table fries, a few shakes, and five burgers. The fries were still excellent, and the shakes were great. Unfortunately, the burgers and service did not live up to the previous visit. My burger tasted more like stewed meat than seared beef, almost as if it had been sitting for a while. It was overcooked and under-seasoned. Our server was pleasant enough, but several sides, condiments, and modifiers were forgotten. Waters were never refilled, the table was not cleared, and a salad that had been misordered was not removed from the bill. I understand it was a busy night, but at around $40 per person for food at a burger place, I expected more consistency. I'll give The Field another try the next time I'm in town because our first experience was so good, but this visit was a letdown.

Overall not a bad first visit. We were seated immediately on a Thursday before graduation weekend…read moreso that was a plus. Very clean inside and loved the open layout with many table types. Our server Jonah was very attentive and even had others asking if we were good during our visit. Food overall was ok. The house made chips were great! Burger was tasty but needed something else (tomato/lettuce maybe?). The pretzel appetizer was huge and that was very tasty. Overall I'd def come back and try something else!

We had a nice time at the Taphouse. They were the first stop after our long drive to State College,…read morePennsylvania. We checked into our hotel and headed over for dinner. This place is nice because it's attached to the Hyatt. Have a large selection of beer on draft and the food is solid. We visited on a Thursday night and we seated right away. Their menu has a lot of options. I went for the habanero burger and upgraded from fries to a house salad. The burger was done to my liking and the salad was the perfect side. We got great service and the place was clean and a bit on the upscale side for a brewery restaurant. My only complaint where the prices were just a little high, especially for state college, where you can get similar fare thank you so much thank you at lower prices elsewhere.

Hubby enjoyed his IPA flight and took a 4-pk. Glad they have that purchase option. Food - it's totally fine. Just fine. But really not better than that. My fries were served cold, guessing because my black bean burger was done first and my plate had to wait for the others. Hubby had perfectly warm fries. I really want to rate it higher, because my son's name is Otto. But it is what it is. Go for the beer.

It turned out to be the perfect escape from the usual college bar scene downtown and offered a relaxing day out in the countryside. We arrived right when they opened, so it was quiet and peaceful. The bartender, who also happened to be one of the owners, welcomed us warmly and shared the history behind the cidery. Super friendly and happy to answer all our questions which made the experience even better. We tried the six-cider flight, and I honestly enjoyed every single one. My favorite was the "White Out", so much so that I grabbed a few bottles to bring back to California. I'm officially a cider fan now. Already looking forward to stopping by again on my next trip home!
