21 Best Craft Breweries near East Petersburg

“I can’t say enough about the customer service, I came in to pick up a take out order and it wasn’t ready. After waiting a little bit the front desk went to check on it and said they were a little bit behind which ok it was busy and prime dinner time on a Friday. Not long after another employee came out to tell me they’re so sorry that the kitchen is behind and offered me a free drink of my choice, I passed it up and instead they gave me two growlers to go, mind you I was ok with waiting on my food I wasn’t complaining just waiting patiently. It was like 15min past the time they gave me ok, no biggie. When I finally got home to eat all the food was amazing and hot. In today’s world this really means a-lot, I love supporting local!! Great job Mad Chef!“

“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.“

“Great bier and atmosphere!“

“Great, friendly service, great beers, and food. A definite must try.“

“Some of the best tasting brew in the region! Give it a try! 🤠“

“I visited this shop recently and fell in love. The owner, Diane, makes a wide variety of tasty, healthy and refreshing kombucha. She took great care to explain things to me and my daughter during our visit and recommended flavors we might like based on our tastes. In addition to kombucha, her shop features locally made art from various artisans. I went in the shop not being a fan of kombucha, but left with a 4-pack of booch and a whole new appreciation for it. Highly recommend!“

“We hosted our baby shower here with a “A Baby Is Brewing” theme, and it could not have been more perfect. The space was fantastic, and the team went above and beyond by moving furniture to accommodate our group’s layout needs. We also decorated the area to bring our theme to life, making the celebration feel extra special and personal. The food and drinks were absolutely superb! What truly made the day special was the staff. Our event coordinator (Kelly), server (Lindsay), cooks, and everyone behind the scenes were attentive, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. They helped every detail run smoothly and made us feel completely taken care of. We’re so grateful to the entire team for making our celebration so memorable. I highly recommend ARTiface for any special event!“

“Nice micro-brew pub. Great beer. Nice atmosphere. Indoors and outdoor tables.“

“Great little spot. Good food and beer. We will 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.“

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

“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.“

“A great place to have a garden wedding when it comes to have a fantasy of epic novel like Lord of the Rings kind of wedding concept. It a huge place to explore if you want to have some pictorials to look back with a smile in your face😀. They also have reception area. It’s a one stop location so no need to travel for the venue.“

“Had a great experience at South County last night. We had a party of six, and our waitress did a fantastic job keeping up with everything we needed. She was patient with us while we sampled several different beers and was friendly and attentive the entire evening.

We started with the Brussels sprouts and egg rolls, and both were excellent. Dinner came out at just the right time after the appetizers, and everything was cooked perfectly.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable evening with family. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I just made another visit to the Burly Bar and it was amazing as always. Absolutely love their offerings, especially the pepper whiskey. Food was fabulous. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to go back.“

“We hosted our Spirit Doll Workshop at Our Town Brewery in Lancaster, and the experience was nothing short of amazing! The service was truly remarkable — Abby, Rob, and Emily went above and beyond to make sure everything flowed smoothly. Abby in particular was so wonderful; I loved staying after and getting to know her better. It felt like we weren’t just customers but part of the community. The atmosphere, the team, and the energy made it a night to remember. We can’t wait to come back soon — thank you, Our Town Brewery, for the warm welcome and incredible hospitality!“

“We live in Los Angeles. We were visiting family in Philly and came to Lancaster for the day on a Monday when most of the restaurants were closed. Someone steered us to The Coffin, and we had an excellent time. The food was delicious, and we were particularly delighted with the bao buns. They were just as good as the pork belly buns that were our favorite dish at an LA Asian restaurant that closed during the pandemic. Service at The Coffin was prompt and cordial, and the decor was a kick. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“Incredible staff behind the bar and the food was amazing!!“

“The food was Fantastic!! Husband & I came in for our 26th wedding anniversary dinner!! Great service as well❤️“

“(THIS IS NOT A 5 STAR REVIEW)
I truly believe this establishment could be great if they fix the following. I personally don't want my opinion to effect there business because it has to much potential!

True Review
3 ⭐ Stars

The location is spacious and has a lot of potential, but unfortunately, the kitchen experience was very disappointing. Several menu items—including pizza, fries, burgers, pretzel bites, bone-in wings, and mac and cheese—were unavailable.
I eventually ordered the fried chicken sandwich, but it was quite small and did not taste fresh. The quality seemed more consistent with a pre-breaded frozen chicken patty than what I would expect from a restaurant.
This could be a great establishment, but the kitchen needs significant improvements in both inventory management and food quality. Hopefully, management addresses these issues because the location itself has a lot going for it.“
