    Best wings and wing night in Altoona. $6 dozen and half off drafts after 7pm on Thursdays. Also, the service is always good.

    On Thursday's they have $5 dozen wings and rich (the owner) makes his own sauces, which are to die for.

    The service was terrible there. The bartender acted like he didn't wanna be there took us 30 min of…read morestanding there before he decided to stop talking and get us our drinks. I honestly don't know how the place is still open, bathroom area was falling apart, no pool sticks that were any good and shitty service. Definitely don't recommend this place to anyone AT ALL.

    First thing is first. The wings are freaking great…read more Hot crisp skin, with completely rendered fat below. The meaty wings were mostly super juicy and toothsome. Hot sauce was a great balance of flavor and heat, it coated the wings beautifully and has left its perfume on my fingers all day. Ideally I would have liked a better mix of drumettes to flats. The plate of 12 was dominated by drumettes, which to some would be heaven. But here's the thing: It's sketchier than I thought. Now I'm no prude who needs linen napkins to feel at home. I've eaten in my fair share of dirty dives that are openly hostile to interlopers. But there is no two ways about this, Co 'BRH''s (pronounced Cobras) is a ramshackle bar that smells like urinal cakes or possibly some other industrial cleaning solvent. It's dark inside, and there are people doing some serious drinking at lunchtime. Pitchers of Captain Morgan and Coke are only $6.50. You can get your drink on here without blowing a lot of cash. And the place is clearly an institution. Beer mugs and pint glasses line the walls and hang from the rafters, personalized with the nicknames of patrons. I was clearly an interloper. And while I didn't find it hostile, my visit didn't find the good folks as friendly as when Keith F. made the pilgrimage. I tried to fit in. I ordered a beer. It felt like a Yuengling kind of joint. I was wrong. The woman behind the bar had a note of disdain in her voice when she explained they only had it in bottles. Sh*t. So much for fitting in. Anyhow, if you are in the area, this is a truly great place to go for wings. I just wouldn't bring your kids. Or your girlfriend.
