Absolutely delicious food! The husband does the cooking, he went to school for culinary and it shows! You need to try the steak and cheese!

I used to frequent this place 10 years ago under a previous owner. Ehen I stepped back in tonight it was like a walk down memory lane. I had the pleasure of getting to meet the new owners. Totally Blown Away how friendly and welcoming they are. They have an uncanny way of making you feel like you've been frequenting that place for years even though we just met. And on a side note if anybody wants to try one of the best burgers I've ever tasted I highly recommend the bacon Mushroom Swiss burger because you truly don't know what a good burger is until you've tried that thing!

Relaxing atmosphere. Had some cheese sticks and they are good. I'm not sure why, but I really like the coasters on the bar with a mug of beer that says, "we're glad you're here" it put a smile on face. Would stop back on the way through the area. Cheers!

Nice dive bar if you're a member.. didn't know this until after I overheard the bartender talking about people not wanting to pay membership cost..but they where cool and let me still place an order and have a few drinks .I ordered the stake fry platter and it was outstanding!

This is a great place to have a drink. As The After Dark is located adjacent the hotels and I-80 exits, you can find yourself spending the evening with locals or travelers. Jason prides himself on making the best tasting food possible. (My favorites are "Wednesday Wing Night" and Steak Friday). If you like your steak well done prepare yourself for a few interesting stares and don't ask for steak sauce. If you are into music The After Dark has a great stage area with a phenomenal sound system.

I love this bar. The owner's are good hard working people who will talk with anyone and treat you like a friend while still getting your drinks and food out to you in a timely manner. If your looking for a great place to get a drink and delicious food I recommend this over anywhere else in Clearfield.

I must admit, i was pleasantly surprised with how great Picard season 3 was. Episode 7 was especially well written. It hearkened back to the Star Trek days of yesteryear, and made me yearn for my youth. Captain Shaw is a wonderful character as well. Hopefully someday I will finally get to skateboard with Tony Hawk and David Bowie.

I'm from Texas and had work close by it was late and we were looking for a bite to eat. Found this cute little pub in the middle of town. The patrons were all having a good time, very fun atmosphere. The food was AMAZING. Everything we ordered was on point! If you're ever in town I highly suggest stopping in :)
