Whether you’re entertaining friends or family, or just want to treat yourself after work, you’ll find plenty of restaurants and neighborhood taverns to fit the bill.
Johnstown is home to the region’s only brewpub and boasts a one-of-a-kind cinema that pairs first-run movies with a dinner menu that garners “two thumbs up” from its fans. Neighborhood taverns, many located within walking distance to Memorial Medical Center, offer a chance to grab a hearty burger and a beer with friends and colleagues. And award-winning restaurants are peppered throughout the region, with understated sophistication that often remind patrons of favorite tables in New York or Washington. Some national chain restaurants include Applebee’s, Chili’s, Red Lobster and Lone Star Steakhouse, or if you prefer local flavor you may want to visit Amici's Ristorante & Pizzeria, Boulevard Grill, City View Bar & Grill, Lombardo's or Rizzo's Restaurant.
The region recently celebrated the grand opening of the Bedford Springs Resort. More than $120 million has been invested to renew, renovate and expand the historic resort, including its world-class spa, golf course, guest rooms and restaurants.
The music scene thrives here, with jazz, folk and rock bands playing in venues as unique as riverside pavilions, local taverns, downtown’s Central Park, a refurbished 1920s Arcardia Theater and the multi-million dollar Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center.
