    A stop for some food and reunion with family before an event. The food was really quite good and we enjoyed the atmosphere…not too busy and loud where we could hear one another and would definitely go back!

    The Federal Taphouse was great just what we wanted we were visiting our son at Providence College and wanted a place to relax and catch up. The service was excellent, and food was really good - you have to try the chicken wings and tacos. Will definitely go again when we are in the area.

    The food was very good, but the service was incredibly slow. It took 35 minutes for our table of 5 to get drinks and our waitress would disappear for 20-25 minutes at a time. Not sure we’d go back even though the food and drinks were great.

    Restaurant wasn't sure if they were even participating in restaurant week. Bill came out wrong and took quite a while to fix. Had to wait for drinks when there was 3 bartenders on.. And not that busy of a time.

    I wanted it to be great. It wasn’t. Nachos with no cheese, buffalo chicken dip with no dip, burgers were tasteless. Service was decent. Don’t go. There is a reason you can get a table anytime.

    We went to Federal Taphouse in January for the brunch with bottomless mimosas and bloody marys - we so blown away that we brought new friends with us this time. However, the mimosas were so full of juice this time that they might not have had any prosecco in them at all, and the same was true with the bloody marys - hardly any vodka. Our server, Anya, was great, but explained to us that this was how the mimosas are now. The food was fine but I won't return if the drinks are this lacking in alcohol.

    Great food and service as always. The music and games were on which was great but when you have younger kids with you for brunch I think it is VERY uncalled for to have people yelling and screaming the songs especially when they see younger sings and they are singing profanities. Just would not come again around 1130 for brunch

    We had a reservation for a party of 4 at 5:45. The written policy on Open Table said that we had the table for 2 hours. At 7:25 the waitress was told to inform us that we had to leave because the next party was waiting. She was very uncomfortable doing this, but she was following instructions from a boss that clearly didn't have the guts to do it themselves. We were spending time with friends that had come in from out of town. We didn't want to finish the evening making a scene or arguing with the manager about getting booted with twenty minutes left of our allotted time. I've chosen instead to write this review (which I rarely do). I will not be going back nor will I recommend the Federal Taphouse to anyone.

    The hostess was very welcoming. Our server seemed to be the bartender and it was busy at the bar. Me and my friend were visiting from NYC and did the bottomless. We left after an hour because we figured it was going to take awhile to get another round of mimosas. I think the bartender shouldn’t have to waiter tables, or at least provide help from the staff to refill glasses.

    Best nachos ever. The blueberry and cranberry cocktails were delish, if a little on the small side. But the mai tai and spicey martini were 10/10. Amazing burger. Very generous burrito bowl. We will definitely be back.

    Service was absolutely terrible, our waitress never offered another drink and spent most of the time sitting near the kitchen talking to coworkers. Different waitress brought out our food, which was warm at best. We both ordered steak tips and fries, fries were definitely sitting in a warmer the whole night and the steak was not seasoned. Side salad was good though. Our first time here and would not bother coming back, better off at any other restaurant on the hill.
