Big Spring Spirits is a fantastic spot for a creative cocktail or your favorite liquor. The tasting room has a warm, cozy atmosphere with plenty of indoor seating, plus a spacious outdoor patio overlooking Talleyrand Park—perfect for when the weather is nice. All of their house-distilled spirits are excellent, but my wife and I especially love the Governor’s Gin. Upon arrival, you’re welcomed with a mini beaker of one of their seasonal craft on-tap cocktails—a great touch, especially if you’re unsure what to order. The kitchen, run by Belle City Bites, offers a rotating menu with fresh, creative options, whether you’re in the mood for a snack, something to share, or a full entrée. If you’re in Bellefonte and looking for high-quality, locally made PA spirits, this is one of the best places to visit!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had an awesome time at Big Spirit Distillery! The drinks were on point—smooth, flavorful, and crafted just right. Huge shoutout to our waitress Jillian—super friendly and made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for a spot with great vibes and top-tier cocktails, this is it. Let’s go!

Big Springs is such a beautiful spot in Bellefonte. Their gin is some of the most fragrant I’ve ever tried, I highly recommend a simple gin & tonic if you don’t want one of their crafted cocktails (which are also great). During the summer, they have a quaint patio in the garden right on the train tracks. They do offer small plates, which have been delicious each time that we have got them. Highly recommend!

Can’t say enough good things about Big Spring Spirits. The food, the drinks, the ambience, the service, everything. Their Tuesday Wednesday happy hour is a great deal. Nomad kitchen does the food and it truly won me over. The menu changes monthly. We tried the French picnic for two, the Mediterranean trio, the sesame noodles, the blueberry toast, and the chocolate dessert board. Loved every bite! The grassy area outside is dog friendly too! Their flights are $7 for a tasting of any 6 of their several cocktail options. Fun and affordable way to try many different drinks! I will definitely be back! Loved bringing friends for a relaxing and delicious evening on their patio.
