Ploughman Cider Taproom

This is THE best cidery I’ve ever been to! We got a flight and each was amazing and unique. Our favorite was the one with paw paw. The prices for 4oz vs 9oz varied greatly so definitely get a 9oz. They are strong ciders too. Also the door stays open unless slammed shut so definitely sit away from the door in winter. We will be back for live music!

Great cider if you like it dry. Wish they had Arkansas black apple in six pack cans.

What a pleasant little bar, right on the square in the middle of town! A few tables inside, and a spacious patio/beer garden outside. Live music on the weekends. It is primarily a taproom, but they do have hot snacky bites available as well. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and both drinks and food were ready in good time. Was busy, but not packed at about 5 on a Saturday night.

Ordered a cider flight (which are fully customizable), pierogies, and a masala hand pie (fillings are constantly changing, and listed on a specials board inside). The cider was excellent, with a number of unique varieties. The pierogies and pie were prepared quite well, though not their own and not made onsite.

Absolutely brilliant! I’m from Worcestershire originally (Calgary, Alberta for the last 28 years) & can’t get a decent pint of cider here, so it was amazing to find a place that brews there own to such a high standard. We had a cheese plate that was supposed to be “small”…it was huge and very tasty. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Small bar serving various varieties of hard apple cider as well as some local beers. A small stage is available for various musical entertainment and social activities.

Neither my wife and I are a side of drinkers, which is a shame as that’s what this bar indicators for. We visited here because we wanted to see the live music that was on. The atmosphere was wonderful, the band was great, and we had a really enjoyable evening.

This place is fantastic. I stopped here on a Saturday night with friends. It wasn’t too busy inside as everyone was listening to the live music outside. I don’t normally drink ciders, but the ones I tried were very tasty. I did have a pale ale, and it was probably the best pale ale I’ve ever had - light, crisp, good flavor. They don’t have a big food selection, but I did have a hand pie, which was yummy and a good snack. Definitely don’t come here for a meal. Overall, I would recommend this spot to anyone in the Gettysburg area who enjoys ciders, refreshing beers, or a good atmosphere.

Good hard cider. Good for a break from exploring the battlefield

Really enjoyed this place. Nice to see a taproom for cider. Lots to try.

amazing little spot on the square in historic gettysburg. ive seen shows here, and also played with my band. the owners are really awesome people. pretty tight space with a small stage, a selection of good beers, ciders, and NA beverages. very small food menu. the tend to have music thurs fri sat and sometimes sunday. bluegrass to folk to instrumental. amazing location. a must-try spot for your visit to downtown Gettysburg!

Great drinks, music, atmosphere and service. It’s a beer and cider place but they do have some wine and cocktail options too. I love that they’re openly progressive and lgbtq+ friendly!

This place specializes in dry cider. We love and prefer dry cider, so it was a perfect fit. They offer a variety to choose from, and they encouraged us to taste ones before committing to a glass of it, so that was very nice. Inside is small, but there's some seating outside too. Food offerings are sub-par, so eat before you come. They offer some food to appease PA liquor laws, but it's just some frozen stuff put into a toaster oven and that's it. They don't have a kitchen. So you don't come here for food, you come here for unique and delicious cider. The bar tender was friendly and attentive and knowledgeable about the ciders. Prices were average for the area. Nice spot for tourists or locals.

Wonderful orchard-based ciders, local beers and spirits, craft cocktails and pub fare. A warm and welcoming community gathering spot with fantastic live music indoor and outdoors on the square. Love this tap room!!

Don't host entertainment at the square and NOT have signs for areas you can't go to after patronizing your business with your drinks and send your staff out to grab the drinks out of patrons hands right in front of your establishment supporting the live music your establishment is hosting. As a local I won't be back and I certainly won't be recommending your business to friends that come to town. Must have been some reason only 7 people were out support your live music.
