25 Best Craft Breweries near Bird In Hand

“Fun place. Wine downstairs with tastings. Most of the wine tends to be sweet. Upstairs a small area with Distillery Goods, rum, and the like. Larger area upstairs is a brewery, can do tastings and flights, both wine and beer, usually 8 beers or ciders on tap. I did a beer flight come a very enjoyable. Also a few packaged snacks, pretzels, wheat thins, cheese. Price wise quite reasonable.“

“My favorite place to dine in Lancaster! Delicious, fresh food with favorites and seasonal specials. Amazing beer selection. Friendly atmosphere. Fun events like trivia and live music.“

“good drink and people“

“the vibes are great! love the space itself, it's the perfect little place“

“Good beer and service. The hoagie came on a toasted roll. Staff is friendly. What’s not to like? Did I mention good beer and service!“

“A real treat for anyone who would like to drink this healthy brew but did not care for the processed kombucha in most grocery stores. Renewal has a good variety of flavors, and they are fresh & tasty! The lightest flavors can make a kombucha drinker out of anyone; the heavier flavors are more of an acquired taste. But the store is a great place to sample the flavors so you can find what's right for you!“

“Absolutely love this place. The staff is very friendly and attentive! Would love to see some tvs around the bar to be able to watch sporting events there!“

“great food & beer and friendly bartenders“

“Compass Mill Tap House is truly a hidden gem. All crafted beers that I had were excellent and the Tap House was a cool spot. Clyde, Steve and let's not forget Bobby made our stop a very enjoyable one with great conversation. I can't wait to hop in again during our next visit to Lititz. I will be letting friends and family know about this must visit spot for sure. Keep up the great work.“

“A nice laid-back atmosphere & great beers —- friendly staff with excellent service! We’ll definitely be back.“

“This little place is adorable. The perfect little brewery for a tasty bite and some yummy drinks. We stopped in on a whim tonight for the first time and noticed right away how cozy and welcoming the establishment was. We were greeted with smiles by all employees, were checked on multiple times by various staff and you could really tell everyone was helping each other out. We had some amazing ciders that were probably some of the best I've ever had (the Wyndridge Baked Pear cider was phenomenal). We didn't try any of their own beers, but their offerings were great.
I had the brie and fig burger and it was seriously one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. I was recommended the tator tots and they were super crispy and delicious. My boyfriend had the Mac and cheese with pork and that was really tasty as well. We also had the onion petals for an app and while I usually find appetizers like that to be too oily, these were perfect. Nice and crispy.
Overall the aesthetic, service, and food was amazing. Highly highly recommend. We'll definitely be back!“

“We sat inside, but I think one of the coolest parts about this place is their patio. It has a ton of room out there and is filled with all types of plant life. There is a great selection of board games and cards to pass the time while drinking some brews. The brewery had a nice selection of their own beer and other locally sourced beer. Bartender was super nice and personable.“

“My wife and I are older and have never been on a chopper but decided to try Wackers. Pulling into the huge lot was confusing, as there was only one other car there and it was parked in front of the Harley store. The other spaces appeared to be blocked off, so we took a chance and parked there anyway. The entrance was not well marked but we found it. At first, all we saw were high tables and chairs, which my wife can't negotiate. We were shown a table in front of the kitchen, which was fine. We ordered our food from the limited menu and tried to make ourselves heard over the loud music. Food came and was really good. Had to ask for napkins (at a rib joint!). When the check came, I was surprised by the extra charges for salad dressing and a side dish that I assumed came with the meal. We paid and left a hefty tip.“

“Lauren is a great bartender, very personable, very nice to talk to. Cocktails and beer are delicious!“

“I took my husband here for his birthday, most breweries are more on the upscale side and draw a certain more adult crowd but this brewery was casual and family centered which I was not expecting. It was cozy but not dark. And be prepared to spend money not because the prices are crazy high but because the food is phenomenal! When I first saw the menu I doubted the place, there was so few options but man this place takes those few options and creates quality good food and not just good but local, fresh and homemade. It was nothing what I was expecting but it was an amazing experience! My husband got a flight of beers and loved them all, he also loved the wide selection of choices and how detailed the menu was on what exactly they used in each. With so few options I chose to not do a traditional burger and went with a chili bowl and some mac n cheese. I was not left disappointed and both surprisingly filled me up. Even the sour cream was homemade and the mac n cheese definitely was not craft but instead light and airy and fresh. I was also shocked by the sweet potato taters my husband got, so so good. So I highly recommend this place, good service, casual environment and amazing food. We did not leave disappointed. We will definitely be returning next time we are in the area.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of families with kids there, very unusual for a brewery and a great kids menu options

Wheelchair accessibility: One story, bathrooms right down the hall, a little tight for mobility devices between tables but they make it work.“

“Very interesting. My partner & I came here for drinks & dinner on a Saturday evening. When we showed up, the door appeared to be locked. We probably would have left except the pub was clearly open, and some people were on their way out so we were able to get in. Once we got inside, it was very unclear where to go or what to do. There's no hostess, wait staff, or signage, so we ended up asking the guy at the food stand what to do. Felt weird to be asking a contracted food service worker where to sit.As other reviews mention, you order your food & drinks at each stand. Since we planned to go dutch, we needed to take turns ordering food. Again, weird for a date. However, the sushi and drinks were delicious. The wings were interesting - it was hard to get service at that stand, but they had a variety of flavors and it tasted good.As far as atmosphere goes, architecture and decor wasn't horrible. The bar was laid out beautifully. However, the music was fascinating. I know we're in Pennsyltucky, but country? Not what I expected from a Dave & Busters-meets-speakeasy pub. The shuffleboard thing was placed in the middle of a hallway, so you had to navigate around the adult birthday party who used it all evening. A grandma was showing her preschool-aged grandchild how to play the slots. There were also some other patrons who clearly had too much to drink to control their volume, or stop rude thoughts from exiting their mouth. Thankfully, they left shortly after we arrived.Since Ephrata has made improvements in the last 10 years and Doneckers was historically a nice location, I was hoping that this would be a nice, classy, fun night out with my person. We'll probably go back because the sushi and drinks were really good and reasonably priced, but we plan to sit elsewhere and ignore the other patrons as much as possible. Hopefully we can open the door without any problems next time.“

“We went to Spring House Brewing Company for the first time over the weekend and had a good time. We ordered fried pickles, house salads, the “Braaaiins!” beer, and the “Couch Fire” beer. Everything was great!
We brought our pup with us after calling ahead to make sure it was pet friendly, and the website states “Dalton’s Doggy Deck” is a pet friendly area of the facility to bring pets. The reason for 4/5 stars was the atmosphere. If you bring your pup, please know that “Dalton’s Doggy deck” is pretty narrow which makes it hard to pass by other dogs easily without having to closely interact. Other than that, we had a good experience.“

“Stopped in for a beer, was good!“

“Very cute place! Lots of thought was put into the decor & it shows. The food was AMAZING 10/10. We got the hot honey brussel sprouts, salmon & steak frites. Staff is very friendly & the place is spotless. Will absolutely be back here when I am in the area!“

“Great place! Good food and service. 5/5 recommend!!“

“Stopped in for the first time today - GREAT food, great service, will definitely go back!“

“The makers of Tom’s NecronomnomRum!“

“Parin saved my wedding! My alcohol distributor canceled on me and he went out of his way to not only provide me beer but picked up wine and liquor for me and delivered it to my wedding at the time needed. He saved me alot of headache by doing that and i appreciate him so much for that! Great service!“

“great food and great service!!!!“

“Casual, friendly staff, tasty apps and entrees. Background music is now good again.“
