State College, Pennsylvania
Premier whiskey bar with 200+ varieties and comfort food on Beaver Ave
Local Whiskey prides itself on being State College’s premier whiskey bar, boasting an impressive selection—sometimes cited as around 200 varieties, including Irish, Scotch, and Bourbon—making it a haven for whiskey enthusiasts. Its interior design stands out, with bright neon green beams, classic black-and-white subway tile, Edison bulbs, and bold artwork creating a memorable, contemporary atmosphere. But it’s not just about the drinks: Local Whiskey also offers thoughtfully prepared comfort food. Reviewers often praise its lamb chop lollipops, chicken wings, burgers, cheesesteaks, fries, and garlic aioli, noting the satisfying quality of both the food and the setting. Cozy and upscale yet approachable, it’s a go-to for anyone seeking both refined cocktails and a hearty bite in downtown State College.
