Game Plan on Market bar and restaurant opens in downtown Johnstown
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. – A new restaurant and bar is open for business in downtown Johnstown across from 1st Summit Arena @ Cambria County War Memorial.
The Cambria Regional Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon-cutting Wednesday for Game Plan on Market at 353 Market St.
Cambria County Commissioner Thomas Chernisky said the new restaurant will give out-of-town visitors attending concerts and events at the Napoleon Street arena more reason to spend money in Johnstown.
'You are creating memories here,' he told Game Plan on Market owner Rob Barmoy, 'and you are drawing in dollars from out-of-town visitors. That's what we want.'
Barmoy also owns Woodside Bar & Grill in Stonycreek Township, but said he has always wanted to open a business in Johnstown, where he grew up. He's running the restaurant with his daughters Ashley Barmoy and Nicole McAdams.
'The opportunity presented itself, and I thought it would be a good location next to the arena, so I thought I'd take a chance,' he said.
Johnstown Mayor Frank Janakovic thanked Barmoy for opening the business in downtown Johnstown.
'With our Main Street project and other things happening in the next few years, I'm sure you will be very successful in our business district,' Janakovic said.
The restaurant offers a menu with appetizers, salads, sandwiches, smash burgers, pizza, pierogis, wings, and entrees including steak and salmon, as well as TVs for sports fans, billiards and darts.
Barmoy said he looks forward to serving lunch crowds throughout the week as well as weekend crowds.
Game Plan on Market is open six days a week from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and is closed on Mondays.
'I have fun enjoying other people's fun,' Barmoy said.

'50s-themed San Angelo burger restaurant shuts down
SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — Grill-A-Burger, a San Angelo-based, '50s-themed diner specializing in burgers, was shut down in April after years of operation, the restaurant's owner has confirmed. Katherine Martinez, the owner of Grill-A-Burger and a San Angelo realtor, stated that the restaurant officially closed at the end of April. She said multiple reasons guided her decision to shut the business down. 'It was a hard choice, but it was a personal choice,' Martinez said. Chief among her reasons for closing Grill-A-Burger is her family. She said Grill-A-Burger began with her three teenage boys and niece, but has dwindled to just her over the years as her sons grew up, started families of their own and moved out of San Angelo. 'Me being a realtor and trying to run a restaurant, it was a lot,' Martinez said. 'At this point, I had to do what's right for my family and for myself.' Personal health concerns also played a role in the closure. Martinez shared that she is facing her own health problems as her mother faces the aftermath of pancreatic cancer, issues that led her to reevaluate how she spends her time. English Newsom Cellars to hold grand opening for San Angelo tasting room 'When you own a restaurant, you're basically married to it, and it became very, very difficult for me to leave town in order to take care of my family priorities that I needed to take care of,' Martinez said. 'It put a lot of stress on me.' Martinez also cited rising food costs spurred by inflation as another driving factor behind the closure. 'Inflation in general, I think, has really hurt a lot of small businesses,' Martinez said. Grill-A-Burger opened at 1025 N. Chadbourne St., the former home of Charcoal House, in November 2016. A second location was opened at 2833 Southland Blvd. in 2020 but was shut down amid a decline in business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Martinez encouraged San Angelo residents to support local businesses by shopping and eating locally. She thanked those who have visited Grill-A-Burger over the years and provided her with fond memories. 'I just thank the community for their support,' Martinez said. 'We were open for almost 10 years, and that says a lot in the industry.' With Grill-A-Burger now closed, the property the restaurant operated from is now for sale. Martinez encouraged those interested in purchasing the property to contact her at (325)-277-5636. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
