    Great bar
    Greg W.

    Excellent homemade food! Great service! Friendly bartenders, cool decor. The deck is small and you can watch trains from it. The pretzel sticks were the best I've ever had. Great little place to ride to.

    Smoking on patio, view of trains, cool mountain air

    Great little hidden gem. Restaurant in first floor of an older house. Looks like they really invested in it, everything looks polished and new. Table seating, pub food. Nice large bar, for mixed drinks or inexpensive common beers. Not many craft beers here. Large deck along the side, with good wheelchair ramp. From the deck, you can watch the busy railroad mainline about 50-100 feet away. Fast trains pass about every 20 minutes in both directions. Railfans would enjoy it. Between Johnstown and Cresson/Altoona PA along the railroad. Very friendly staff. A bit tricky to find, on a back street of this small town. Just follow the railroad. Free parking across the street, many spaces. Will return with friends. Missed trying the food, stopped for beer mid afternoon.

    In the summer, one can sit out on the deck and enjoy their food and drink, while viewing the trains that come by!

    I was looking for a place with a hearty vegan option half-way between Toledo and New York City…read morewithout going too far off the highway and it seemed like Station 101 would fit the bill- a Black Bean Burger made in house, some tasty nacho options, and I even called ahead to confirm we could get a hearty vegan option, and confirmed it was! Yay! Unfortunately, when we arrived, the last Bean Burger had been sold and the black beans listed as a side were actually cooked in some heavy butter... so it became one of those stops where only French fries were the hot vegan option... because who wants a cold salad when it's 20°F?! In any case, the server was very nice about it and the Craft Beer was still vegan, and because we called ahead about the vegan burger option, they even comped the fries for running out. So- disappointed it wasn't as hearty as we hoped for a vegan on our arrival- but very kind to apologize with comped fries. For those who weren't vegan- the French Dip on ciabatta was on special and sooooo good. I don't like horseradish and it didn't overwhelm the flavor, so it was absolutely perfect! The pulled pork melt with crispy fried onions and bbq sauce was also excellent with a very crunchy buttered thick Texas toast bread. Excellent food when it's available- and hoping for a few more vegan options because Pennsylvania towns are a bit of slim pickings if you don't want to eat animal products!

    I was in town for work and stayed at the hotel directly next door. Having this spot so close was a…read moreno brainer to enjoy a meal and some beverages as I didn't need to drive. I ate the nachos. This is not a one person meal, they are very large. I sat at the bar and the bartender was very prompt and personable. I also enjoyed the beer selection they had, not only on tap, but in bottles and cans. Inside the restaurant was clean and looked nice.

    Station 101 Pub & Kitchen - Reuben is a big sandwich. Half would have been enough. Come w/fries or substitute any other side.
