Eat Scene

Named for Altoona's earthly latitude, 44 North is a lofted gastropub. Guests can enjoy the tastes of dishes from around the nation, with classics like prime rib burgers, jambalaya, three cuts of steak, mac & cheese, shrimp tacos, salmon, and more. Their all-season, second-floor patio comes complete with a fire pit and a quasi-industrial atmosphere. On the ground floor, things are more casual: Enjoy a scoop, a burger, or a drink alongside arcade games at the 44 Below Burger + Ice Cream Bar. New daily specials include Wednesday calzones, Friday fish fry and shrimp, and Saturday prime rib.

The ground-floor bar at 44 North Gastropub – a.k.a. 44 North Burger + Ice Cream Bar – is a great place to order drinks while trying some of their incredible appetizers or maybe some ice cream. Try your hand at one of the arcade games while you're there. Ask about getting a free drink, dessert, or scoop of ice cream on your birthday. Happy hour runs 3-6pm Monday-Friday.
