A nice bar/restaurant along Scalp Avenue in Richland Township Cambria County. It's a laid back atmosphere with a nice menu and great selection of drinks. Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. The Fifth has the local Forbes Trail Brewery "The Fifth" on tap. read more

Worst experience ever....the bartender ignored me and my wife, they have a bar "manager" who is so oblivious she can't even see someone death staring at her, and I put manage in " because clearly the bartender was in the weeds and she did nothing to help. My wife and I ended up ordering a second round of drinks, even though we wanted to try one of their other drinks, because we figured it'd be faster to get a new round while we waited for our food. Sadly our food came out and we ended up finishing our food before our second round of drinks ever came up, once again while the bar manager did nothing. If the food wasn't decent at best I feel like I would give this place zero stars. read more

Came out here to Jonestown for work and the hotel recommended that I go to this bar for dinner. I ordered baked chicken, wings, and chicken eggrolls. The waitress was very nice. Took my order really quick and the food came out hot and fast. The restaurant decor was average. A great place to go if you want to watch a game and catch some good bar food read more

I stopped here to pick up a late lunch for take out. The bar tender was friendly, it's definitely a local hang out and I felt comfortable sitting at the bar area. I ordered the baked wings to go. Honestly I was really happy to find wings in PA that not only had great flavor but also were cooked perfectly. I'll have to try a smash burger next time I'm in the area. read more

If you're looking for standard bar food, this is your spot. It's very clean. Everyone working was extremely friendly and attentive which is always a win. Before we go any further.. it is kid friendly, but there is not a changing table so plan accordingly. We grabbed salsa and guacamole and the salsa had a nice smoky flavor to it. The cheese was a generous portion. You know how sometimes you end up with naked pretzels, which is always a disappointment. There was more than enough and we made sure to utilize our chips so it didn't go to waste. Everyone was happy with their sandwiches and I am not sure you can ever go wrong with housemade chips. There was a smash burger, a fish sandwich and pulled pork in the mix. A few were missing the pickled egg which was a bummer because it was definitely a unique and welcomed addition. The side salad (I know.. a side salad, but seriously worth mentioning) was done so well. Lots of great, fresh toppings and probably enough for two people. I can't say I'll make a special trip, but I'd likely stop back. read more

I love the feeling in here. The walls have fun photos & artwork. The bar is big and situated so people can actually converse if they so choose, the main area has booths all around the walls. Staff is always friendly and the food has been fabulous every time. I usually get The Alibi burger. It's pretty much perfect with juicy patty, fresh toppings, and aioli on a toasted bun. The fries are good and it's served with half of a pickled egg. read more

Hey, they are open. If you are hungry after 9:30 in this area They are the whole shebang. French dip was good. Spinach artichoke dip was passable. Service was friendly and fast. It will do if you are starving!!! The scene is totally a bar so we were aware that as not-drinkin-eaters we looked a bit odd. But they handled what we needed and it was a decent value. read more

Very good. Food is all fresh and scratch made. Party of four and we all enjoyed our meals. I wish they could separate the bar from the dining area a bit more, but the quality of the food made up for the noise from the drunks. read more

Very tasty and clean spot. Stopped here randomly for lunch and ordered deviled eggs, Turkey and cranberry panini, and the smoked juicy Lucy. Deviled eggs weren't bad, but a bit stiff. The panini and burger tasted great. Wish my panini had more sauce, but very tasty. Service was great too! Great place to go to watch the games! read more

I wanted this to be a great experience. We sat at the bar and there were lots of very friendly people enjoying each other's company. We started with a beer and wine. FYI-The wine selection is very limited. We ordered cheese curds, a beef on Weck and a Black and blue cheese smash burger. Sadly, the food was poor to average. The cheese curds were plentiful but they were very greasy. The Beef on Weck was sad. The beef was over cooked and flavorless. The Weck bun was so hard it as more like a thick cracker. There was a dipping sauce but not enough to soften that bun. The burger was pretty good! The staff seemed very nice and service was fine. read more

I like that the Johnstown eatery scene is slowly emerging out of the sea of chain restaurants. I'm not saying that Johnstown never had an eatery scene, it's just that it has been muted. There are still the old standards in the area, but newer establishment like The Fifth are adding a freshness that Johnstown needed badly. The Fifth is basically what you would expect to find in a hustling, bustling downtown area. But you will find it in a strip mall, off the highway, in a hustling, bustling shopping district. I was never inside the business that resided here before which leaves me not knowing what it looked like before, but this place has an industrial meets farmhouse aesthetic. The big front windows allows for a lot of natural light to fill the space. It is roomy, and by the looks of things, big enough to accommodate for musical performances. When I came in here I was looking for a place to have lunch and I was tired of the usual places I have been to in the area. I walked in and I just went up to the bar and took a seat. I was greeted shortly thereafter by the bartender and had a menu in hand. I gave it quick once over, but was going back and forth over items. The bartender saw that was the case and pointed out the burgers were amazing here. With that, I went with their signature burger: The Alibi. Six ounce burger with perfectly melted smoked provolone. Placed on a toasted brioche with mixed greens, tomato, and garlic aioli. And with the advice from the bartender I upgraded to include the waffle fries. This is a hefty meal, there is no doubt about it. The burger was cooked perfectly and with it being encased by the cheese just trapped the flavor in. The garlic aioli was a nice compliment to everything on this burger. Let me address a few things here. Yes, they do serve pickled eggs with the meals. It clearly states that on the menu. If you don't like eggs, ask to not receive them. If you ordered, you read the menu, do your part and order correctly. Don't bad talk for your poor reading skills. And as for it being a limited menu, this is how a good eatery runs, they don't overpopulate the menu with unneeded items. This is how it is supposed to be, it is labelled as eatery and alehouse, not national, run-of-the-mill, chain. People of Johnstown and surrounding areas, learn to expand your palette and move away from the chains. Embrace your community and start to expect better food. Ok, I'm off my soapbox now. Not bad for review 2,500! That's right, this is my 2,500th review. Yikes! That's amazing, and I'm happy to be writing it for such a welcomed addition to the Johnstown scene. read more

The place was packed when we arrived but they were able to seat the large table in front of us and then us within 15-20 minutes. It was clean and seasonally decorated. There is no hostess so it took a bit to be acknowledged with the large crowd waiting as well. I don't think they were prepared to be busy on a Saturday night. The bar was backed up and the kitchen was in some serious weeds. The servers seemed overwhelmed. Server was very nice. We had our drink order taken within 5 minutes but then didn't get our drinks for about 15 minutes. The table next to us saw their drinks sitting on the bar for about 10 minutes and we're discussing whether they should go up and get them since they couldn't find our server. We ordered the Apple Cider Margarita and the Maple Old Fashioned. Both drinks were really good! Fun presentations, strong and just as you'd expect from the menu description. I was really looking forward to trying their Zucchini Planks as an appetizer but the server said they ran out earlier in the day. It's unfortunate they didn't have an option to replenish supplies for the dinner rush. It took at least 45 minutes to receive our food. Our server was apologetic when she brought it over but she didn't check in before that. We had been sitting at our table for well over an hour before receiving food. The food was decent and came out hot. Both of our favorite parts were the waffle fries. They were hot and crispy with nice flavor. We got ours with ranch which was made in house and delicious! The French Dip was ok. The bun of the fish sandwich was burnt and overpowered the fish. The fish was coated nicely but not crispy. I ended up eating the fish with a fork because the bread was inedible. We were going to do 4 stars but in the middle of our meal, the server of the tables behind us started dousing her tables in a bleach spray that smelled so strongly it overpowered the taste of everything. A woman at another table covered her nose with a napkin as she ate after the spray came out. It would've been a better option to spray on a rag and then wipe down rather than spray it into the air while people are eating in close proximity. read more

This is a nice bar and restaurant. I was staying at the Holiday Inn Express, next door within walking distance, and this was very convenient. I heard the prior place wasn't as nice, but this was a nice big bar, clean, with single people and families enjoying dinner there, and it had good food. My Italian Chicken Salad was very good and large. The next day I got the special soup: Guinness French Onion. The soup was a little too cold and salty, and the cheese was odd because it wasn't melted overtop, but a chunk was inside the soup. I ate it anyway and didn't mention anything. However, my Cuban Panini was really good, as were the house chips. I think I'd just suggest some seasoning on the chips b/c they didn't really even taste a little salted. My drinks were decent & the bartender on Monday was friendly. If you're at the motel or live nearby, check this place out! I may still return and try a burger - heard they were yummy. Thanks The 5th! * Update: with the weather, I ended up here a total of four times. The roasted chicken & red pepper panini was tasty (if you don't like pesto, talk to them before you order) with waffle fries. Additionally went there for lunch with a coworker, and had the smoked Juicy Lucy burger- two smaller thin patties, but very good. read more

My daughter was seeing a play in Johnstown and so my husband and I decided to try a local Eatery cause we don't come to Johnstown, like ever. So we started researching and came across The fifth. Right away it was really busy, which is always a great sign that food is good. We were seated and our waitress was on point. However I actually was pretty disappointed in the wings we ordered. I asked for extra crispy and they came out gummy, after the waitress says "oh they are doubled roasted" so I'm assuming no fried oil is used for there wings, which is fine if it would make them crispy. My husband got the house buffalo and it was okay , I've had a lot better , but it was a pretty average. If you like black pepper then this sauce is for you. I ordered a half garlic Parmesan and half house buffalo. So the parm wings are bland. The pictures I seen on here definitely didn't look like my wings. Our waitress kept forgetting about us. I asked for Parmesan for my wings cause none was on them when I asked for garlic parm. So I asked my waitress to bring me parm please. 15 minutes later she brings me butter. But I'm not one to complain when she was busy , so I sucked it up. I do not recommend the garlic sauce it's like tasteless butter with spices. Would I recommend this place, sure cause everyone deserves to try a new place but will I ever go back, probably not , only because if I have to drive to Johnstown I'll try another shop. They were very quick at getting food out, the atmosphere was fun, it was a very nice place. Just not how I like it but everyone is different. I will say the Seafood dip was on FIRE! That now was one of the best dips I ate! I ABSOLUTELY recommend the seafood dip. The naan bread is sooo good! read more

Update: I now have cravings for the berry salad - specifically for the roasted nuts on said salad. Sometimes I lay in bed at night thinking about it. The next day finds me on the phone, ordering one for takeout. So - beware - you may form an addiction to something on this menu! read more

Had dinner this evening. Burgers and flatbreads. Food was very good, service was excellent and well priced. Would def recommend!

If you are in the mood for pub-type food, then this is the place to give a try. Their food is a few steps up from typical bar food. The quality of their menu items is definitely on the upper end, and their portion sizes are just right. I really enjoy their flatbreads. The chicken, bacon, ranch one is amazing and a must try. Make sure to get buffalo sauce on the side to add to the item. They also have a wide range of beer choices along with a fairly nice wine and cocktail selection. The ambiance is very nice for a pub setting. If you're in the area and looking for a decent meal, then definitely check it out. read more

I was with my daughter, her boyfriend and my husband. She wanted to try somewhere new. We decided to come there for lunch. We got there around 12:30pm on Saturday. There were 5 booths and 4 were occupied. We were told to seat anywhere, but only seat was big party table and booth that wasn't bussed. There was another big table that wasn't bussed either. Bar had a couple and felt very uncomfortable being stared at. I'm sure we never been there but didn't feel very welcomed. A girl came and cleaned the table and gave us the menu, but nobody came for us for 10-15 minutes. I looked around and people were coming behind us and got seated. Still nobody came to greet, ask for a drink nor say "I'll be right there with you!" I used to be a waitress at a very busy establishment. You are to greet the customer no matter what you are doing when you walk by the table. Still no service and we had looked over their little menu enough times. We decided to get up and leave and then saw the waitress greeting a new table that they set up in one of those booth seat. I felt very discriminated since we are minority family. I would like an explanation why nobody came and upon leaving if it was not intentional to say something to us to make it better. None of that happened. All the great food I could have reviewed like the rest of people here who got a service, we didn't even get a chance. I'm telling my friends and family to avoid but I guess that is a good thing for them so we don't patronize them anymore. read more

Excellent food, Dom knows his stuff when it comes to food. Really nice place to sit down and have a meeting as well with great service.

Love this place! Great menu! Wings are great! Service is good! Great bar, too! Nice place!!!

Delicious food and great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Check this place out if you haven't!

Listen, options are limited here. The Fifth has offered an alternative to food options since they opened during the Pandemic. Bad time to open, but did well to court a take audience. Since their GO, I have continued to order. Probably not their greatest customer. But I can be counted on to order a $60-80 take order twice a month on average. Enough that folks who work there recognize me. Tonight, I called to to order a to go. I was told they were "too busy to take to go orders." I only live 5 minutes away, my daughter really wanted Local Poutine, so I drove over. I found 9 barstools open, a both, and 4 tables open. I ordered a beer and ~$50 food to go. When I received my food, which was actually pretty quickly, I was thanked for my patience. And then told I always am. So, was recognized from my pickups. Never ate in the bar, only pickup for the family. I did say I was pissed off that I had to drive up and sit to order. Was told they were busy when I called. Again, I live 5 minutes away. Had a choice of bar stools. I could have had a table or booth. They explained that the owners said to ignore phone orders if they were "busy." I was told they had a small kitchen, and I did "the right thing" coming up to order in house. If my daughter didn't want poutine, I would have went to the Johnstown Inn. The right thing would have been to call the next place. Really disappointed by this. read more

We had a great experience. We will be back when visiting the area. The prices were good and the service was friendly.

First off, ignore the negative review! Two stars because you don't like pickled eggs!!! Service is on par, food was fast and fresh, and last but not least it had FLAVOR! Hit the Garlic Parm Wings. Drink some cold beer and not worry about a rusty crowd. It's a nice place. read more

My husband and I were dropping his car off at the dealer and decided to try something different. We'd heard about The Fifth from a friend and it was close. I got the caprese panini. He got the pulled pork. And he got us 6 dry wings to share as an app. It was pretty busy when we went it. It's nice and clean and open. The set up and themey kind of thing is similar to tap 814 but larger (and not bacon centered). All of the food came at once. He'd asked for the wings dry, as he likes them nice and crispy. Then, sauce on the side. They were ok, but not fantastic. They could have been a bit more crispy. My Panini was decent. It did need salt though. Anytime you've got mozzarella and tomato, it needs a bit of salt. The bread was done well. Good texture. I left mine as is with chips and a pickled egg. I tried a chip just to taste. They were crispy. Also needed a bit of salt. I swear, I'm not a salt fiend but some things just need a bit. His sandwich he said was ok and the waffle fries (he upgraded) were ok. I would go back and try something else. The salads looked good. I think they'll get things down after being open a bit longer. Our bill was $33 and when he gave the waitress the card she came back with one for $55. They had run the card using someone else's bill. Took a bit of time to get that figured out. She was apologetic though. We didn't drink, but the drink list did look good. read more
