10 Best Brewpubs near Lancaster

“Loved this brewery. Spent a weekend brewery hopping and this was my favorite selection by far. Great conversation with attentive bartenders. I wish i didnt live 2 hours away, they seemed to have great events I would love to attend. Already planning my return visit!“

“We went to Spring House Brewing Company for the first time over the weekend and had a good time. We ordered fried pickles, house salads, the “Braaaiins!” beer, and the “Couch Fire” beer. Everything was great!
We brought our pup with us after calling ahead to make sure it was pet friendly, and the website states “Dalton’s Doggy Deck” is a pet friendly area of the facility to bring pets. The reason for 4/5 stars was the atmosphere. If you bring your pup, please know that “Dalton’s Doggy deck” is pretty narrow which makes it hard to pass by other dogs easily without having to closely interact. Other than that, we had a good experience.“

“Just had lunch today at Isaac's. It was an extremely enjoyable experience. Caroline our server was very friendly and helpful with the menu. We had Rainbow Parrot Sandwich and Soup Combo. Very tasty, just right amount of food. We also had Soup Sampler, what a great concept, 3 small cups of amazing soup. Restaurant very clean and comfortable, attractive atmosphere, everyone over the friendly. A must visit for any meal. They also have a Taproom, serving Craft Beer. Absolutely a pleasure.“

“Stopped in for an impromptu dinner date to find out it was bingo night. My husband and I enjoyed playing bingo while sampling their awesome beers. We split the hot honey garlic chicken sandwich and both agree it is possibly the best chicken sandwich we’ve had since moving to PA. We’re already looking forward to going back.“

“Casual, friendly staff, tasty apps and entrees. Background music is now good again.“

“In business for nearly thirty years, Lancaster Brewing Company has the brewpub concept down pat. The atmosphere is casual (albeit potentially fairly loud), and the dining area offers a view of the brewery tanks. Speaking of the beer, there are quite a few varieties to choose from – everything from nitro stouts to peanut butter ales — and LBC offers flights for those who want to try it all. The food selections are equally impressive. While you can find the requisite wings/burger/pizza here, LBC also defies expectations by offering up white chili or a chicken, leek, and lager pie.

My wife and I split an order of teriyaki fried cauliflower, a braided soft pretzel, and a burger meister and found the food to be very good. The cauliflower featured thick breading and a sweet teriyaki glaze. I could have eaten an entrée’s worth of it and have been satisfied. The pretzel was warm and pulled apart easily. Rather than being accompanied by separate cheese and mustard dips, its partner was a blend of beer cheese and mustard, strongly flavored but tasty if you don’t mind mustard. The burger featured fresh ground bratwurst, something that will leave you wondering where it was all your life. The accompanying fries were natural-cut, salty, and crisp.

While our server was friendly and helpful at the beginning of the meal, she vanished toward the end, and we were in for a wait to get our checks. LBC isn’t cheap for what it offers - $13 for the cauliflower, $16 for the burger – but the portions are at least sizeable.

If you want good beer, good food, and a dash of the unexpected, Lancaster Brewing Company is a very appealing option as long as you have the patience for high volume and a bit of a wait.“

“We had amazing food and drinks me and my daughter!! Great time.“

“great food and great service!!!!“

“We went for trivia night and had a blast. Got the beer flight to sample different beers, some apps and sandwiches. The food and beers were great and the guy that did the trivia was a lot of fun, too. I’ve always loved Isaac’s food but it’s even better now that they serve beer and wine.“

“we were looking for a venue for a rehearsal dinner, and stumbled upon this gem! The staff is friendly & helpful, the food & spirits were great both in quality & price, and the casual atmosphere only added to the pleasurable experience! will definitely be returning!!“
