21 Best Craft Breweries near Ephrata

“Very helpful staff - and great food“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Atmosphere was nice.
Had a nice area for corn hole and pinball.
Wife got the chili which was a large bowl. I got the hotdogs special, bonus they use hippie hotdogs. Trivia was fun.
Very friendly staff.
Beers were good.“

“good drink and people“

“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!“

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

“Perfect little spot in Lititz on a hot day. Great staff, very clean establishment.“

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

“great food & beer and friendly bartenders“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“
