Aldus Brewing Co. Dolphin & Anchor Brew Pub

Food came in a plastic bag, like the kind you toss the trash out in. No plates (just black plastic clam shells to eat out of). No silverware (server gave one of those plastic packets with white plastic spoon, fork, knife, like you get on a plane.) Totally weird way to serve dine-in food. Never seen anything like it. And it wasn't cheap. Beer was fine and barman was pleasant.

Chill place with plenty of brews to select from. Seriously, it was a calm and mellow place that was not loud at all when I came here. They had some smooth jazz on the speakers to add to the aviance. It is split into two areas depending on your group size. There is a small seating area outside for those that want some Sun as well.

Not only is the place chill but so was the staff. Very friendly and helpful with any questions I had. They even changed the TVs for some patrons who wanted another sport to play. They have games and puzzles which I have not seen at a bar.

I am a red lager person, so I got their Red Flannel Lager. Seating was plentiful so I got a table near the bar. I wanted some food as I hadn’t eaten all day. They don’t have food onsite but you can order from The Hotel Hanover. There is a QR code to scan to see the menu which has a lot. I ended up getting the Super Charlie Melt with fries. It was a bit of a pain to cut the bread with plastic utensils but worth the work.

Before I left, I grabbed a six-pack of the Red Flannel Lager for home. If you happen to be in downtown Hanover, I recommend this place to rest your weary feet and grab a cold one.

A library within a bar. Spacious place with a side room. Had a Luponic Grove N.E. I.P.A., which I would describe as a cream sickle jammed into a beer glass! We had a great time here, sitting out the rain.

“The Drop” is absolutely delicious. Every beer they make is something special. Food service is quick and easy too and good. Better than what you can get at most breweries.

This was a first for all six of us. Seating was plentiful bec we went around 2 pm. Plenty of craft beer selections, IPAs, Porter. The bartender rocked, she gave us great reccos and we could try different beers. They have a four oz option, make your own flight! Do not skip the appetizers - we had pierogies and the bacon wrapped kielbasa w/hot honey - GET THIS! The siirlion tip sandwich was superb, fish n chips perfectly done, the Reuben was excellent. Tater tots were exceptional. Here's the surprise part - the food comes from next door so it comes packaged as take out. The staff were friendly, great reccos and the food was exceptionally good, high quality ingredients perfectly prepared. Comfortable atmosphere, cozy, chill - the chairs in the dining room were so comfy - a welcome rest after hiking the battlefields for several hours. We can't wait to come back and bring our friends!

All round great place to unwind or gather with friends with best local brewed craft beer the beer slingers ( that’s what I call them)are top notch and very knowledgeable they can explain the texture,aroma and the hi and low tones of each bear before you ask for a sample if you’re not sure.

My wife and I have been out to the Dolphin & Anchor close to a dozen times since we stopped in on a whim. This place is awesome and the drinks are always a treat. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a local spot to hang out and have a good drink!

One of my favorite places to go in hanover just because of the awesome crew that works there. Also they don't really have a beer i hate. This place is constantly being creative and coming up with fun activities. No way you can hate this place!

Large selection of beer!! Nice bar and great staff! The Count Stoutula on nitro is my all time favorite Aldus beer. The Going Deustch and Pretzel Wheat are great beers too.

First time here and found the drink selection pretty nice. If you can't find something you like you're too snooty and shouldn't leave your house. Good atmosphere and great service. Really friendly staff and knowledgeable of the drinks. I found it more laid back and quiet than other brew houses, which I enjoyed. A nice place to end the nice after a dinner at Oak that's right down the street.
