10 Best Brewpubs near Lancaster

“My friends and I visited Rural City Taproom on Saturday night during ZenkaiKon 2026. Even though we were unable to enjoy alcoholic beverages, but the friendly staff allowed us to stay and enjoy non-alcoholic despite it being past last call. We appreciated them so much, especially on how they decorated the entire taproom in a way that it was cosplaying for the convention. I managed to enjoy my first Sunset Sarsaparilla when I saw the bottles behind the counter, kept the bottle and bottlecap as a souvenir. Domo arigato, Rural City Taproom! I hope I get to visit your bar again for next year's ZenkaiKon!“

“The handhelds are by far the best selections on the menu. The chips are basically a waffle fry turned into a crispy chip and the sweet potato tots are crispy and absolutely delicious. We have yet to try the pizza, but the service was unmatched. Kayla has some of the best recommendations and is attentive, engaging, but not overbearing. She cares about her fellow staff members and I will definitely be coming back not only with my parents but lots of my friends as a college student nearby!“

“Great, friendly service, great beers, and food. A definite must try.“

“In this area full of large stomach filling meals, you just want soup and a sandwich and with out the feeling that its mass made. This particular Isaacs even has BREWS! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“We had an excellent experience at Lancaster Brewing. We haven’t been there for a few years because we live several hours away, but went out of our way to go today and it was even better than we remembered. Lindsey was our server and was so incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. The food was quick and high quality, and we were very impressed with the craft cocktails. We will look forward to the next time we can enjoy a meal here!“

“This was our first time visiting and it was a great experience! I got a flight, my husband had a pint of one of their IPAs. We each really enjoyed our beers and I especially liked the Helles Lager. The brewer and bartender were both super friendly, we can’t wait to visit again!“

“I can’t say enough about the customer service, I came in to pick up a take out order and it wasn’t ready. After waiting a little bit the front desk went to check on it and said they were a little bit behind which ok it was busy and prime dinner time on a Friday. Not long after another employee came out to tell me they’re so sorry that the kitchen is behind and offered me a free drink of my choice, I passed it up and instead they gave me two growlers to go, mind you I was ok with waiting on my food I wasn’t complaining just waiting patiently. It was like 15min past the time they gave me ok, no biggie. When I finally got home to eat all the food was amazing and hot. In today’s world this really means a-lot, I love supporting local!! Great job Mad Chef!“

“Incredible staff behind the bar and the food was amazing!!“

“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 hosted our baby shower here with a “A Baby Is Brewing” theme, and it could not have been more perfect. The space was fantastic, and the team went above and beyond by moving furniture to accommodate our group’s layout needs. We also decorated the area to bring our theme to life, making the celebration feel extra special and personal. The food and drinks were absolutely superb! What truly made the day special was the staff. Our event coordinator (Kelly), server (Lindsay), cooks, and everyone behind the scenes were attentive, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. They helped every detail run smoothly and made us feel completely taken care of. We’re so grateful to the entire team for making our celebration so memorable. I highly recommend ARTiface for any special event!“
