    EVERYTIME. Everytime I've visited ABG, it's become my fav hang in Lancaster. DO NOT get the Old Bay wings! I want them all! Great staff , friendly neighborhood folks, big screen football and soon baseball. Always looking forward to my next visit.

    This is hands down one of my favorite bars in Lancaster! I've been coming here for years and it's just gotten better and better. The new expanded dining has allowed for much needed seating. The art hanging on the walls adds an eclectic ambiance and the mural painted on the outside of the building gives you a taste of what to expect on the inside. The tuna burger is out of sight! The wasabi aioli and red cabbage slaw is delicious, medium rare tuna....yum. I promise you the food will not disappoint. The wings are the best in town and the Bloody Mary's are awesome!! Go on Sunday for brunch, $4 Blood Mary special!

    Chicken wings!!

    worst wings ever, tough and overcooked, never had anything so bad. Also a bit overpriced. Also cold.

It's much more extensive than I expected for a bar. While the food isn't necessarily the star of the show, it's solid and pairs well with the drinks. We ordered the kimchi fries, which made for a great snack to share The cocktail menu is the real highlight. There are plenty of creative drinks with clever goth-inspired names, including the signature Death Mix. Whether you like something sweet, strong, or adventurous, there's a good chance you'll find something that catches your eye. It's the kind of menu that makes you want to come back and work your way through the rest Service was fantastic from start to finish. Everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere that matched the fun energy of the bar If you're in the area, this spot is absolutely worth checking out.

They stay true to their name with their decor. They were coffin shaped shelves, gothic/satanic themed wallpaper. It's all very well done. Very unique! One of the staff members came over to tell us that their beer and spirits are all from PA. This was music to our ears! We ordered a local IPA. We shared the Brussels Caesar salad. It had crispy brussels sprouts and arugula. Topped homemade crouton. Dusted with Parmesan. It was delicious! Loved this spot! Will go back the next time we're in town!

    Nestled in the idyllic Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Lancaster City, Pennsylvania, Hildy's Tavern…read morehas been upsetting neighbors and customers in this location for about 60 years and they're just getting warmed up. From garrulous bar boors and vapid bar whores to remote control freaks and bathroom drug sneaks, Hildy's has something for nobody. Hang your pride on a nearby tree and take three steps up the curved corner door steps to take one huge step down. If you like a drink that's stiffer than the two-day-old hot dog that got on the countertop ferris wheel and forgot to get off, then this bar is for you and the cough medicine high you rode in on. If you're feeling brave, try the hot dogs. If you're feeling braver, try the women. If you want a blender drink, try shutting ignorant noise hole. You can sidle up to the bar and select something from the "rotating" daily curation of liquor and beer, or begin with a step out the back door and a peek down the famed Conjugal Alley which runs behind the building--you might catch a show! If you like smoked meats and smoked clothing, bring them in fresh and they'll be smoked to perfection in about 20 minutes! Enjoying a drink at the bar, a patron might overhear some wayfaring, well-to-do tourists who have wandered in describe it as " a punch in the face without the upside" or "a waking fever dream," while non-tippling neighbors just call it "that god d$%n bar on the corner." As one delighted out-of-towner once said, "This ain't no Applebees, these bartenders got sass!" This bar is the the Grand Lady of dive bars, standing astride the bar world like a colossus whose competitors have gone by the wayside and whose greatness has gone unchallenged. In short, this bar is amazing, and if you're too good for here, you're not good enough for anywhere. The bartender from Brendee's did not write this review.

This one is in downtown Lancaster, so it's easy to get to if you're walking from other breweries, bars, or historic sites. They also have easy parking in a garage nearby, it's cheap but not validated. In the warm months, they have a ton of outdoor seating in the courtyard, that I'm sure is a fun place to be. Inside is also huge, with tables and booths toward the back, a full kitchen, and bar area up front. I also loved the little sofa areas in the window. At the host stand, they also have brewery merchandise. We sat at the bar; they don't do flights so I chose a couple smaller pours of the beers that sounded the best. The all lived up to my memory. The bartender was also super friendly, as was the host. It was a weekday early afternoon and it seemed like everyone there was already enjoying themselves. They have a great selection of fresh to-go beers as well. Prices are reasonable for the quality. If you're a beer fan exploring beautiful downtown Lancaster, this is a great place to stop for a pint.
