34 Best Bars in Lancaster

“Bert and The Elephant has great service, but the vibe is what really makes it special. It truly feels like you’re in Belgium! The food and drinks are amazing, and to top it off, I also found out that Bert’s and my family are from the same neighboring town on an island. Then to make it better me and him were born in the same town in a whole different country across the world, such a small world. Bert is a great guy, but his explanation about the beers, the technique behind the foam and how to enjoy it was mind blowing!! Jess was soooo good as well! Can’t wait to come back!“

“Good food and atmosphere.“

“One of Downtown Lancaster’s BEST kept secrets. Such an amazing/elegant/groovy combination of vibes. Stopped in for dessert and an Irish coffee and it was delicious! Seating and presentation is well spaced and acoustics allow for great conversation. Top notch staff that’s incredibly talented in this one of kind atmosphere in the city!“

“Great owner and staff. Felt at home the first moment I walked in. Family like, at home atmosphere !“

“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.“

“Rumplebrewskin’s (or Rump’s as the locals call it) is our local bar that we go to at least once a month. The vibe is super low key and laid back, and the owner and staff are attentive and nice. It’s our go-to place when we don’t want to make the trek to downtown Lancaster. Their cheesesteaks are also pretty good!“

“if you're looking for the best pub food in the city proper, look no further than Dan's Pub. the food is on point and there's no place I'd rather go for a fantastic sandwich. The menu is perfect.The cheese steaks, fish and chips and dogs are the bomb. Victoria is a hidden treasure in the kitchen. don't change a thing. love it“

“Everybody socialable having fun laugh and giggles needed this.we were just carrying on and I also won 250.00 at the sunco those games are putting out money I was all beside myself that was the most I won ever I'll be hitting that place again real soon another round I really had a good day loving it◉⁠‿⁠◉oh this is my friend Mark he really help me out always had my back good friend I also joined the gym things are good“

“This is a great bar. Been to many many bars and this place felt like home the minute I walked in. Great bartender, good pool players, relaxed atmosphere. Good prices and good folks to chat with, you'll almost certainly have a fun conversation with another patron. Will be back the next time I'm in Lancaster.“

“Absolutely amazing bartenders. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.“

“Eat here almost everyday! Food and Service are great!“

“This place has the perfect name!!! Not that it’s a “dirty ole tavern” literally. But it gives you that traditional dive bar where everyone knows everyone and it’s a locals only type crowd. The kitchen is excellent and the fryers are well maintained with clean and filtered oils regularly. Prices are reasonable and the vibe is chill. They also have lots of sauces to choose from for your wings while you have an ice cold beer and watch the Eagles on a Sunday afternoon. Don’t take my word for it. Give them a try for yourself“

“I highly recommend this place as a potential event space. I booked the upstairs room for my wedding’s after-party. I was offered a few different booking options and all were extremely reasonable compared to some other event places in Lancaster city. Even though it’s not along the main row of bars on King Street, it’s a quick walk from the Mariott. Kayley, the manager, was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. She was very responsive and answered all my questions. I also worked with Tony who knocked it out of the park. He provided a cooler full of beers and pizza for my guests for a very reasonable cost. It was really nice to have a bar in the upstairs area close to the back event room. So many of the guests talked about the after-party and how much they enjoyed the dance floor. I highly recommend reaching out to QSB for a future event.“

“Great atmosphere great food and great location“

“The food is to die for, you cannot pick a wrong item! We got the crab dip appetizer, pulled pork entree, crab cake sandwich and the kid's mini dog with fries. Everything was spectacular. Highly recommend the apples and cinnamon as a side! The staff is helpful and attentive from the host all the way to the waitress and managers. I've never been to a restaurant where the service is so great! We will definitely be a return customer 😊 Side note: The restaurant is extremely kid friendly and accommodating. They have high chairs and tables with enough room to fit the high chair or a stroller while still having enough room for everyone else.“

“I get takeout from Highland from time when I am down that way for my regular chiropractic appointments (my chiropractor is right next door over at Universal Athletic Club). My absolute favorite is the Highland Special Pizza, which is basically like a supreme pizza. I can say hands-down that is the best pizza I’ve ever had in my 46 years on this earth. I have also gotten their Highland Cheesesteak (contains beef steak, sautéed onions, mushrooms, green peppers, and pepperonis, topped with a homemade marinara sauce, and American cheese), chicken quesadillas and their cheesesteak eggrolls. They are all super good and what made me decide to try them out was that I would be in the parking lot over at the gym going to my chiropractor and I would smell the food from Highland and drove me crazy lol. Glad I finally decided to give them a try. I recommend them to everybody I know.“

“My husband and I visited from Lockport NY Lodge 41 for a Friday dinner, and it was so worth it. The food was amazing, we got a wonderful tour of the site, and the chef gave us a little surprise of our lodge number in berry sauce on our dessert plate. Thank you!“

“went here today, and service was great! pizza was good and a nice and breezy scenic view topped it all off!“

“had lunch there yesterday, had very good food and service! highly recommend.“

“Great atmosphere great food and great location“

“Great food and service!! Friendly staff and did I mention the food is AMAZING 🤤“

“great food selection. every time I try to eat here the parking lot & surrounding block is full. or on one day it says they're open online and then they're closed. it's been a few weeks unable to catch them at the right time unfortunately. maybe time for a bigger lot or something“

“This is our very favorite restaurant, however due to a very large crowd this evening, we had to sit at the bar. It was nice at first. But our waitress/bartender was a bit rude to us and didn't even check on how our meals came out, offer more beverages, refills and did not offer dessert. We usually tip very well but didn't this time. The crowd had really dispersed by the time we had our meals so there was really no excuse for the bad service. We will continue to go back of course becasue we love it there but hoping for a better experience.“

“Great food & service! Nice & clean as well.“

“1st timer last night, it was wonderful! The servers were great, super nice and helpful. The wings were great! The wife and I split the tacos and cheesesteak egg rolls and they were spectacular.

Simple menu.
Great food.
Great service.

We will be returning very soon!“

“Amazing food! My new favorite place to eat in Lancaster county! The GM and his wife are awesome people! Be back soon!!“

“Went here for lunch yesterday with my husband and daughter and could not have asked for a better experience. The service along with the food was amazing. And even though it was pretty full, our food came out so fast. Highly recommend!!“

“The margaritas are top notch!! Enjoyed the fried green tomatoes app and the pickled jalapeño chicken quesadilla. Great service with Leela. Definitely a favorite.“

“Last Saturday night for the first time in several years, I made my return to Rocky Springs. I brought one of my friends along from Lebanon because I wanted him to try it out. overall, we did like our experience. However, we do have some constructive criticism to consider here. The lane we were on which was number 31 was completely burned up especially for my friends bowling ball and he is a much better bowler then I am he wasn’t even doing as good as he should’ve been. So my recommendation is to make sure the lanes are freshly oiled so the balls can hook better, and hopefully increase our scores. On the website, you guys advertise 34 lanes while there was a lane number 34. We only saw 26 of them number 9 through 34. Another thing based on the timing. The only choice we had was the bowl by the hour. The good news for us was we were able to get a lot of games in during that time, however, having said that there was no option for us the bowel and pay by the game. Finally the most important criticism I will say as much as I do like glow bowling I think it is unique and fun the two downsides are you can’t see the lanes as much and the timing was the worst part of it. You should not be doing that during 430 in the afternoon if it’s 8 o’clock or later at night like when I first went years ago when it was dark no problem that’s what makes it more fun, if you guys can take this into consideration, it will make you a better bowling alley and will increase a better experience at least for me. Next time I come the next time I will probably come is when there’s no glow bowling going on so I can get a better experience for myself otherwise I do recommend this place to anyone in the Lancaster area.“
