Their beer was very good and they had a great selection of top rated beers from other breweries. Great chill atmosphere and service.

Great food carts all around. Excellent selection of beer. My 2nd time here, been impressed both times.

Michael Verdin

Great place for a brew. Showed up on trivia night, place was packed, which just proved we were in the right place. Great beer and the food trucks were on point. Definitely coming back.

Jason Oliver

Chill tap house with several food trucks out back to choose from. Plenty of local beer and cider options and friendly service. Great place to spend a summer evening. Not too busy on weeknights.

Stopped by the Lancaster Dr. Taphouse on a Thursday night to catch TNF and sample a brew. First time visit, and they happened to have a band scheduled that night. Tried their 70 IBU citra hops IPA and liked it. Good and hoppy enough for this old hophead, with a crisp taste and a good mouth feel.

They serve pizza, but also have several food trucks onsite. I ordered from Adan's food truck 2-for-5 bucks pork tamales and boy, were they GOOD! Moist masa, tender carnitas, just perfect. His chile verde sauce was a great accompaniment with a nice kick to it. Almost bought more to take home with me.

The band set up and began playing at 7pm. 90s covers. Listening to live music is always a treat.
Definitely reccomend that you stop by Shades of Brew!

Parking: Parking is somewhat limited.

Kid-friendliness: This is a family-friendly venue but bring your own "happy bags" for them to keep them busy.

Went here recently because they had a comedy duo band perform. They were really fun. Went by Frolock and The Dude. Felt like I was part of the show with how interactive they were. I had the Mango wheat beer, not sure what it was called but it was amazing as well. Unfortunately there weren't a lot of food trucks open so we didn't have many options there(that's why it got only 4 stars) but don't let that deter you from trying this place out. I hope the duo band/comedy group performs there again because it was a blast and I plan on going there again if they do.

LOVE this place! Great atmosphere. Julie (one of the bartenders) is my favorite. They host trivia and bingo nights which are so much fun.

Work Computers Just Make it

Was an odd atmosphere. Someone had their dogs in there when I visited. Person wasn't paying attention to their dogs letting them go up to who ever they wanted while ordereding beer, let them lay on the floor in the walking path that forced people to walk around them inside. Maybe it's just me but dogs in a place that serves food doesn't seem like a good idea and anyone that holds a food handlers cars should know this. I could understand if the "kitchen" was in a different room but the pizza oven is right behind the bar and the door is left open when not in use. Fried dog hair in/on your pizza is what everyone wants right?

Parking: Good luck finding a spot close by. There are maybe 10 spots outside the front of the door. Spots are narrow and short so if you have a truck park somewhere else and get to walking!

Came here for a going away celebration. The service was excellent. Many options for beers, ciders, hard Seltzer, and even their own hop water (which was super delicious). They also have non-alcoholic drinks like pop and juice for kids. They make homemade pizzas and it was delicious. I do wish there were more options on toppings and Sauces, and they were out of the Gluten free crust, but for the price and taste, I can't complain.

There is indoor and outdoor seating. It was nice outside, so we were out there. There is also a food truck outside, but it was not open at the time I was there.

Will visit again!

Great assortment of beers and ciders on tap. Rotating food carts outside offers a variety of dining options. Inside the pizza is always a good option. The staff here is great! Always welcoming and cheerful. We love going to their live music events. It is such a nice addition to this side of town. Make sure to check it out if you are up north.
