The Knickerbocker Tavern

This place was awesome! First time here, but we found parking across the street in the lot easily. It was busy on a Saturday around dinner time, but we were able to find a table in the back dining room still. Very friendly staff from the minute we walked in. We got pulled pork mac and cheese for an app to share. There was so much pork on top, it was a great dish. Perfect for 2-3 people if you are sharing, I would suggest. Beer selection was great, lots of varieties--local and across the country. Our food was so good. I definitely suggest getting onion rings as your side for the burger as they were some of the best I've ever had. Smash burger was solid, loved the secret sauce and that they give you extra on the side. For the fish and chips, we loved that it wasn't a super heavy fried batter on the fish. Fresh cut fries were also plentiful! So many other good looking things on the menu, we can't wait to try them. Overall, this place is a winner, we will be back.

Been to the Knickerbocker many times over the years, both during the day and at night. Days are calm and it's a nice place to stop in for lunch and a drink. There always seems to be plenty of room even when it's a little busy. Nights can be hectic and loud. It can be a little difficult to just sit and talk. The patio area is fun in warmer months if it isn't too hot outside. The food is always decent and has been known to be pretty good at times. I recently had their Cuban sandwich which should be a hit with most people. It's a neighborhood bar but it can draw quite a crowd on weekends. The only drawback, other than it can get noisy, is that it can be hard to find parking. There is a small lot across the street but it gets filled up fast, and then you spend your time circling the neighborhood for a spot to park on the street.All in all, the Knickerbocker can be a fun place to visit, but it may not be for everyone.

First time in Altoona,PA. Wasn't expecting the restaurant to look like it's in a house or attached to houses but when you get inside it's way bigger than expected. The Asian bowl was good! The shrimp and chick were cooked perfectly both juicy! The only thing I would correct is the vegetables has a little too much soy sauce but if you put it all together in one bite it was lovely! I would definitely go back! They also have really good prices for their alcohol. There was a 2.75 yeungling beer deal so I mean I can for sure say that's a steal! Service was quick and attentive so no overall great food and restaurant.

The Knickerbocker has become one of my favorite places to go for food & beverages. The bartender Zack never

Food and service were fabulous. Outside internal patio is super cute. Great vibe, wonderful beer selection and very welcoming staff. Will definitely come here next time in Altoona and highly recommend. I had the chimichurri crostini (pictured) and partner had the Super Smashburger with homemade potato chips. Both were delicious!

I love the Knick. I stop here when traveling through Altoona for work. This place IS the BEER OASIS of Central (I-99) Pennsylvania. Beer selection is ALWAYS top notch. I usually eat at the bar but there is restaurant/ dining area and bier garten/ patio seating. Service is always great bartenders are very knowledgeable and friendly. Yes I'm a beer snob, but also check out their spirits (especially bourbon and whiskey). Don't be afraid to walk around, ask the servers about the odd beer items they may have stored downstairs. I usually get the chili. The crostini was AWESOME!!!! So much good stuff.Parking is on street or in the lot at the intersection.Did I say I love this place?

Stumbled upon this place after calling a couple others that were booked full tonight and I'm so glad they were because this place is even better! We had a large group with young kids and our server was really good. I wanted to try everything on the menu and I hope to go back to do just that. The cauliflower appetizer was a crowd pleaser. My fried bologna sandwich was unique and delicious. The bangers and mash were equally yummy. Everything seemed extremely reasonably priced too! The crime of passion cocktail was amazing and presented beautifully. The other wonderful thing about this place is that they source A LOT of ingredients from local (PA) places. Heck yea! Love to see that. My one and only suggestion is that they use a different cleaning agent other than pine sol. The dining room we were in definitely smelled strong, which was slightly off-putting for me while eating dinner. With that being said, I will 100% go back when I'm in the area!

For a place that sits in the middle of a neighborhood I was skeptical at first. Then I walked in and it was busy and a good vibe. The food was really good and the cocktail/beer selection is excellent. We had the beef tartare for and app and was delicious. I ordered chicken wings and could believe how big and many were on the plate. Way more than I could eat. It's was tough stopping eating them because they were very good. My boss got some steak dish and said it was delicious as well. Our bartender was very good and helpful with menu selections and suggestions. Very good attitude and treated his guests very well. Definitely a place I will go next time I'm in town again.

Good food and great service in this historical building. Stopped in while passing through. We were looking for a place with some outdoor seating and not to far off the path headed north. It was somewhat of a rainy day and there is a side portion of the place that you can still hide from the elements. Menu has nice options for diverse tastes. The beer selection of local and some imports. Arriving to the location, there might be parking out front and you may need to park across the street or in the side neighborhood. Staff is helpful and food comes out to order.

This is our second visit here. We thought maybe the first one was a fluke because everything was so good. It wasn't. Our visit today was just as good. Everything about this place is fantastic- service, atmosphere and food! The smash burgers are one of the best I've had in PA - and I've had a lot. Salads are also great. Prices are very good and the portion sizes are so worth the price. Servers are friendly, helpful and never left our glasses empty. We will be back.
