The House

A Real Bar
With A Real Kitchen

Champs has been Altoona’s spot for a cold one and a good plate for a long time. The horseshoe bar seats thirty. The screens wrap the room. And the food is not an afterthought.

Pierogies from Jaworski’s. Raviolis made in house. DelGrosso’s sauces on the rigatoni. Wings with names and personalities. It is bar food cooked like somebody cares, because somebody does.

Forty taps rotate through the year, and growlers go out the door. Sit at the bar, grab a booth, or take the whole thing to go.

Daily, 5 – 9pm

Really Swell
Gumbo & Seafood Bar

Central PA’s premier steam bar, running alongside the kitchen every evening from five to nine.

Steamed shrimp, clams and mussels to start. Then gumbo, jambalaya, pan roast, bouillabaisse and cioppino, made the long way. It is the reason a lot of regulars pick a Tuesday over a Saturday.
