The waitress had a sense of humor and helped us with suggestions for breakfast in town the next day. The owner saw us looking out the window at some large birds and he swiftly showed up at our table not only with our tasty pierogi appetizer but with a portable telescope so we could watch the baby eagles across the river learning how to fish with their parents. We had the wings (good inventive flavors!) and the special (smoked chicken, mashed potatoes and lemon zested peas with gravy) that tasted like a fresh pan sauce and was flavorful and definitely homemade tasting. What kind of tavern takes the time to add lemon zest to vegetables? A place that cares about the food they serve! And did I mention the beer was very affordable? We really enjoyed our dinner here and think the folks who live nearby are lucky to have a spot like this.

Rock Bottom is a seriously local, family owned establishment outside Lock Haven, PA. This charming…read morelocal pub has nice views of the West Branch of the Susquehanna River and exceedingly friendly staff. I first visited Rock Bottom with friends several years ago--shortly after it changed ownership. It was a pleasant stop, but things have continued to improve. The owner has improved the river view by carefully tending a riverfront lot across the street and keeping large windows. There's also a side deck with river views. Thus family-owned establishment has great service and a friendly clientele who are welcoming to all. The tap system is currently offline but Rock Bottom has a nice selection of domestic bottled beers. Four stars only because we didn't have a chance to try the food; bar service was great If you're in the Lock Haven area definitely check out this local jewel. You'll have a good time and probably make some new friends.

We shared the crab dip appetizer, which was delicious. The hubs had the petite filet with fries and rice pilaf. I had the Bearcat Burger on a GF roll with a side salad. Both entrees were cooked perfectly and really tasty. The filet was delayed since the chef overcooked the first one and made a second one. We were given free dessert for the delay - we didn't complain, it was offered.

It's not a student handout although it is connected to Local Whiskey (same owners). There are cool photos on the walls (lots of pop culture references) and the bar stools have painted celebrities on the back. We've not eaten anything here, but they do have a menu. Cheers!

The fries we awesome the could've been a bit crispier but they were definitely fresh right out of the oil. The wings however were dry and tasted like they were pre fried but fried too long the second time. They were dry all the way through then drowned in barbecue sauce that wasn't really flavorful at all. I would have much preferred less sauce and a juicier wing. It was in a small town so not much to the ambiance. A basic tavern type of vibe. We went for lunch and barely anyone was there but I'm assuming it was better for dinner. Either way, I don't think I would be returning.

While that would normally be a bad sign, I thought the food here was quite good! Thursday is wing night - $0.75/wing. We tried the mild and the cajun & dutch rub. The mild wings were okay but the dry rub were DELICIOUS. The wings themselves were meaty and substantial. For entrees, we tried the Reuben and the cheesesteak, and were happy with both. Upgrade from the chips to the fries - they are crunchy and delicious. For dessert, we tried the brownie peppermint cheesecake. The portion was HUGE, def enough for multiple people.

This place is clearly a spot with a lot of regulars as the waitress seemed to know at least half of the customers who came in. Of course, this makes sense due to the rural location. The place was packed on a Friday a little after 6, which shows that people keep coming back for more. We got the pepper jack bites, KFC bowl, and smokehouse burger with fries. Everything was good but I especially loved my KFC bowl. Prices are very reasonable.

The broth had rich flavor and the right amount of spice, not enough to burn your mouth, but warm it up and tingle your lips. The beef was tender and cooked to perfection.
