Jake's Pub & Grill
About This Spot
Jake's Pub & Grill settles into the heart of Johnstown's bustling Galleria Mall like a familiar hideaway—a place where casual meets comfortable under the hum of muted lighting and the steady cheer from wall-mounted TVs. Stepping inside, you sense a laid-back, unhurried rhythm that invites guests to unwind, whether gathered at the bar with an efficient bartender ready to chat or at one of the scattered tables where families and friends share quiet moments over plates of generous, satisfying fare.
The atmosphere leans toward lively yet approachable, with touches that remind you this is a spot where community flavors the experience just as much as the kitchen does. While the lighting might challenge those hoping for bright, airy surroundings, the glow from screens showcasing local and national sports creates a backdrop that’s both familiar and inviting for fans and casual watchers alike. It’s an easy place to settle into whether you’re starting an evening or seeking a mid-afternoon pause.
The menu feels thoughtfully familiar—a mix that nods toward classic pub standards but adds its own local character. Comforting dishes arrive with a sense of generosity and heart, like the kind of meals that invite conversation more than hurry. From hearty sandwiches and creative spins on Italian favorites to perfectly crisp wings and dips that spark shared smiles, the food echoes that feeling of togetherness and simplicity done well.
Jake’s is more than just a meal; it’s the feeling of finding a dependable spot where faces become familiar and service makes you feel seen without fuss. It’s a place where families feel welcome, sports fans find a communal pulse, and locals appreciate an honest, unfussy meal paired with moments of easy laughter. Amid the mall’s hum, Jake’s stands out quietly as a warm pause, a local slice of comfort shaped by good food, steady service, and uncomplicated ease.

The food is very good. And filling. I recommend the Italian on toasted white bread, it's different and delicious. Great service.

I ordered the French Dip and it was DELICIOUS! It will now be my “go to” favorite. I’m not a foodie or big eater (couldn’t finish it), but looking forward to the next one!

So surprised to find a good place to eat in the mall! Lots of TVs for sports fans, kid friendly. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was so efficient. We had the white pizza with the thin crust: perfect wait time. Happy to support good local businesses!

The atmosphere is very dark. Hard to see. I ordered wings. Probably the best wings I've had in the area and I eat out A LOT. The service wasn't the best but they were very busy and seemed understaffed. Wasn't bad but wasn't great either. If your older bring a flashlight to see the menu.

Wife and I chose to give this place a try and right from the get-go there were Indications that this was going to be a good choice. The reviews were good and I saw the wings were recommended numerous times. As we approached the entrance a couple in their 50's we're leaving and I asked if this was a good place to eat. The Answer was an absolute yes and they informed us they came and ate here every weekend. As we entered I saw that this place was booming and I stead of waiting for a table we chose to sit at the bar to enjoy a drink and eat there. Our bartender and server was Jen and the service she provided was perfect. She acknowledged our presence and told us she would be right with us momentarily. Our drinks were served right away and she gave us a minute to go over the menu. My wife chose the French Dip with au jus and homemade chips. I knew I wanted wings but asked for recommendations on which flavor. She recommended the only flavor that was abbreviated and it was something like I.G.B.R. (garlic butter ranch or something like that) so that's what I got. Jen was ahead of what we needed always by one step, for example after I started eating wings I quickly went through my napkins and when I needed another napkin I noticed she had somehow put more napkins down while my attention was elsewhere. Just when my wife was done eating, Jen brought a to go box without needing to ask. Always one step ahead even though it was very busy. She was very friendly and it provided a nice small town atmosphere and vibe. Thank you, Jen. The wings were the best wings I have had since Charleston, SC. I definitely recommend the flavor mentioned earlier. My wife's French Dip was out of this world the Au Jus was so flavorful and even the homemade chips were so good I couldn't stop eating them. When the bill came, I was surprised at how Affordable everything was, less than $30 for both meals and two drinks. I now understand why the Couple we had talked to on our way in come here every weekend. I find myself wanting to go back to try all the other things they have on their menu. Jakes finds itself with ANOTHER couple who will be coming back, weekend after weekend. I implore you to give Jakes a try and after you do, I will see you there on the weekends!
