“Stopped in tonight for the first time and it was amazing, wings were the best I ever had, nice and crispy and not dried out. Pizza was good but sauce could of been sweeter , but that is just the way I like it. It was cooked nice and crispy and thin. Good, waitress was amazing, she was an elderly women but overly nice, she gave his a menu to take home but we forgot it and chased us down it parking lot to give it to us. Will definitely be back.

“Overall, a great Altoona bar for mixed drinks, shots and bar food - clean bar top and attentive bartenders. If you don’t smoke this is not the bar for you. There’s a bar, the next door over that’s owned by the same owners that’s a great non-smoking option (Zach’s). Regardless of which, if a PA team is playing they’re showing it on several television angles within the bar. There’s an ATM, cash only cigarette machine, and several lottery machines at your disposal.“

Turkey and Bacon Sandwich

“Local "Dive Bar". Decent food. Most bartenders are great. The atmosphere depends on the day. Located near PSU Altoona campus so the students do frequent some nights. Most of the time, it's relatively chill, but there are some nights where there are nights and people getting rowdy. Usually on Karaoke nights from what I've picked up. They have trivia and bingo during the week, which I'd do again. Overall, not a terrible experience, but certainly room for improvement.“

“We came in on 5/2/25. Our waitress Cassie was superb! She knew the menu and was knowledgeable on the craft draft beers. She was very attentive also. I included pictures of our food. The sampler was a build your own. We had wings, southwestern egg rolls, and quesadilla. We also ordered the PGH style cheese steak. Everything was delicious! The sampler could have been a bit warmer in temp. Thats why I didn't give 5 stars. 4.5 more like it. Lol, We will be back.“
