Was in town for a couple days, looked up brewery on Google and found this place. Nice guys, good beer, only licensing prevented us from a couple pints. Lucky for me, I roll with an empty growler and had it filled with a delicious Porter after sampling all their wares. Beir is gut!
Nice startup. Great atmosphere and decor. Good beers. Tried the Witbier, porter, blueberry, vanilla, farmhouse. Witbier was real good and true. My wife really liked the blueberry, said it was better than DuClaw. Didnt care for the farmhouse, but I usually dont. It was true to a farmhouse ale. Vanilla was ok, just not me. The Porter was good. Its unique. They really should bill it as a brown porter. Its nit brown to mahogany in color. Light mouthfeel with hints of chocolate malts. This is more a traditional 1700s porter before malt roasters were used.Will be back.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up if you didnt already know - Railroad City Brewing has a great little party room you can rent for your party and celebration needs. Cant beat the beer and the quaint venue in the up and coming, revitalized, downtown Altoona.Check it out!!
The beer is great all the homemade beer I enjoy im typically a wheat beer kinda of guy but tried all of the beers on the current menu and the guest beer was the only beer I didnt enjoy. Bartender is awesome Id suggest that place to anyone.
Wonderful time! Great beer, friends and music!
It has continued to be a great addition to Altoona with a solid beer selection.
We didnt have much time to hang out at Mattys place. Staff was awesome, as always, and drinks were varied & tasty. Well worth the time to stop by.
Good beer. Nice place to stop in and have one or two. Food was limited, so dont plan on this as a place for dinner, just snacks. Pretzel with beer cheese was good.
Stopped in at what should have been open hours on a Saturday - place was locked up, no signs of life inside, no signs on the door giving any info other than the open hours. Hope theyre still around, but it didnt look like it on this Saturday.
GREAT atmosphere. Fantastic service. Down to earth patrons. Friendly bartenders. Clean. Great place to just grab a beer. Its about time Altoona had something like this.
Nice relaxing brewery with friendly staff, great beer, and great music.
Awesome little spot on the main downtown drag, their flavors never disappoint. For the microbrew fans this is the spot to stop in Altoona
Great beer, very impressive. Did not expect that high quality of beer. Had my growler filled and will definitely be back
Good all around beer... Good selection.
Nice cozy little place.
Great atmosphere. Great beers. Great snack plates. Flights are available for sampling. Nice job RR City.
Great atmosphere and good beer. Nice place to try different beers and catch up with friends.
Great overall experience. Atmosphere is fabulous, beer is fantastic, and the owner is behind the bar, absolutely recommend stopping by!
Came here to have a few drinks after Heritage plaza entertainment. Cant believe that with a bar full of people that they stop serving at 9:45. Everyone left because we could not be get a drink. If you have a bar full of people, why would you close??
Ive known Matt since the school bus. Honest, hard working, knows his craft and a beautiful spot for beers!
Great beers, didnt try any food but it looked good! Wifi password is guest.
Great place and great beer! Doesnt hurt that the owner is easy on the eyes.
Great place to go for a couple drinks. I loved all the beers I tried.
Beer and atmosphere are great! Great place to stop in and chill.
A good selection of tasty local brews with lots of local rail-a-bilia decorating the walls.
Super chill bar with unique brews. Give it a try!

2022-06-17Cool spot downtown Altoona with great beers.Grapefruit hazy IPA has lots of grapefruit flavor, the pink lemonade summer shandy is so refreshing and crushable, and the hazy IPAs remind me of home (WA)! We’d come back here for sure.

2019-11-09Solid beers here. Good malt base and really smooth. IPAs arent overly hoppy. Really bare bones setup in the best way possible.

2016-09-29Great environment to grab a well-crafted beer. Ive been able to try five of their beers, including two or three small-batch brews. All were great! I would love to see more beers on tap, though. Last I was in, there were only three or four beers available instead of filling up all of the tap lines. I havent had much food there, but the beer cheese that comes with the pretzels is pretty amazing. Great job, guys!

2017-08-30I dont think Ive had a bad beer ever here. Their shandy this summer was awesome! The atmosphere is really nice, too. I just wish the growler pours would come back and there were more food options.

2018-11-15If I could rate this abysmal pit a 0 I would. My wife and I have been to over 60 microbreweries in 8 states. So we have a very good idea of what to expect in a microbrewery. This was a horrible waste of time. The employee was completely annoyed by having 2 customers come in interrupting her day. The beer ranged from below average at best to downright awful at worst. We had flights so unfortunately we made the mistake of sampling most of what they had.I have never written such a negative review but this hole truly deserves every bad word I can muster. The logo and railroad decor were nice. It is a shame that everything else made for a miserable experience.

2018-05-24Very impressed. Im aa Hollidaysburg native that has lived in Philadelphia for the past 7 years. For me the bar had been set by beers brewed by Yards, Philadelphia Brewing, Tired Hands, etc. The beers that I sampled at Railroad City are of the same caliber as these highly regarded establishments. Looking forward to my next visit.
