City Hotel Bar & Grill

Leave it to a person from out of state to write a comprehensive one sentence review about a place that has been standing in the same spot for over a hundred years. With that being said let a former townie explore this place for you.

This place was formerly the Palace Hotel. Not a very festive place to frequent. And definitely not as clean. Now with new owners, and a huge renovation. This place is amazing to visit for lunch or dinner now.

The main area for the dining experience is huge, colorful and welcoming. They've used every space they could in here. The bar is a typical U shaped bar with several brews on tap, full capability to make you a mixed drink and fountain drinks as well.  Mugs are stored in the freezer to make sure you get that frosted experience.  The bar is located to the front, the room left over is filled with tables for dining. Enough seating in here for you to be able to have a party here.

The food, for lack of better terming, is amazing. Everything seems to be homemade. My family had an array of items during this experience. I opted for the hot turkey sandwich which came with mashed potatoes and everything covered in gravy. Eating this dish made me feel like I was home eating a home cooked meal, turkey cut just right, lumpy mashed potatoes, and gravy galore. The burger my dad got was huge and cooked to his liking.  Everyone in my party had fries except me. The fries are fresh cut, and you definitely can tell here.  And the portion size definitely is huge. Enough for you to know you should stop eating, but you just can't stop.

As far as the hotel part, sixteen up to date rooms with flat screen TVs and private baths. Prices aren't too bad for a night either.

It's PA.  It's in the middle of nowhere.  It's a bar.  It's a hotel.  It works.
