About

Having known each other for over 30 years, Taps on 2nd owners Kurt Farabaugh and Frank Dicken have conversed about every topic imaginable (our guess is Frank did most of the talking). Whether laughing hysterically as they rattle off their favorite movie quotes or reminiscing about their glory days as young athletes, it's always been clear these guys have a great rapport. So great, in fact, that they decided to go into business together.

In 2022, the pair pulled together their business knowledge and financial resources and purchased a bar that was clearly in need of rebranding... and a makeover. Challenge accepted! 

Since the purchase, Kurt, Frank, and the entire staff here at Taps have worked passionately to create a space where everyone feels welcome, so come on down and see how we did. When you arrive, just sit back, unwind, and enjoy our top-notch food, ice-cold beer, and specialty drinks in a relaxed, casual atmosphere. Whether dining alone, with your significant other, or with family and friends, you’ll find that our menu offers something for everyone… right here at Taps on 2nd Tavern and Grill in Altoona, PA.
