14 Best Beer Bars in Lancaster

“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.“

“Always a fun time at our local Villa Nova Sportsbar & Grill. We were out walking with our little pup & were welcomed to stop in at the outside patio. Well, it ended up to be such a relaxed wonderful time. Toby, the pup, met new friends. We enjoyed amazing cocktails & dinner. Toby was served a grilled hotdog that just made his day. Maddie, our waitress, just made us feel so at home… great food, drinks & just a fun enjoyable relaxing time!! Thank you!!“

“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!“

“They made me a delectable dirty chai ☕️ uber fast! Great vibe. Sometimes they even have live painting! 🖼️ 🎨 👩‍🎨 Will definitely come back if they do more of that. 🎨🖌️☕️Thanks!

Update : their Ginger Rooibos is delightful! 😋 ☕️“

“I’m really happy we have this spot in the neighborhood. They have surprisingly great food! I didn’t expect a corner bar to have such a good menu. The quality is also excellent. The staff are always pleasant and attentive. Overall, super happy we have this option in Musser Park.“

“Great visit to the Rural City Taproom. Enjoyed talking beers with the assistant brewer and tasting their great work. Such a down to Earth and welcoming authentic brewery. Good work! Carrot cake beer (yeah what?!?), new england IPA and saison were fantastic.“

“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“

“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.“

“One of the more surprising details about Lancaster is that you can get very high-quality cocktails here. The best place to do so is Bar 1888. Perched in the center of City Market South, you can grab food from one of the dozen-or-so diverse food stands and then settle in for an often rotating, inventive cocktail list...often including esoteric flavors and ingredients (salted tomatillo syrup for the win). One of my favorite stops in downtown Lancaster.“

“What a great place. I had some of their strawberry beer at Miller's smorgasbord our waitress told me where to find it. When I walked in I was greeted by the manager I wish I could remember his name sorry for that I asked him about the beer he showed me what he had I bought what I wanted . Before I left. I asked the hostess about the whiskey I saw. Bottom line if your looking for a great place for beer and whiskey and other spirits you will be hard pressed to find one better.“

“What a delightful experience. First time at the Plough and enjoyed every minute. Aaron, our server, was professional, friendly and knew the menu very well. I would highly recommend!“

“Excellent food!! Haven’t had a meal this good in a long time!!“

“My husband and I come to Highland often, but the most recent was Saturday night when they have live music! The food is fantastic, the drinks are made well, and the music has always been good. There are tv's mounted with sports playing, a wide selection of beers and liquor. The service is top notch. We love it!“
