My Brother and I stopped by here on our way from York to Philadelphia. What a cool spot!…read more The shop in front is pretty tiny, but has enough room for a few folks to mingle around. The pretzels from the oven come out right there in the gift shop on the conveyor belt. They even gave us a fresh pretzel off the line. So delicious! I bought about $20.00 worth of pretzels for family and friends back home in AZ/CA. The 2 ladies in the shop were very kind and helpful. They even gave us the tip to look in the 3 back windows of the building on the way out. We did, and we saw about 10 people hand rolling pretzels. YES....they hand roll each (big) pretzel. What attention to detail! Simply amazing. Must stop if you are back in Central PA.

Lots of tasty looking beers on the draft list so asked for a flight. I was impressed with how tasty every different style was. Atmosphere: 5 - Relaxed. Great wooden bar sort of feels like an Irish pub. Service: 5 - Got a seat near the bar and was served by the bartender. Beer delivery is quick and friendly. Food: Great menu of bar food. Lots of people eating pizza but I prefer to drink my carbs so I had one of their phat 1/2# burgers. Cultural/Political Agenda (1-5): 5 -Everyone is welcome. No preachy nonsense or virtue signaling, just beer, as it should be.

Honestly, wouldn't really recommend coming here unless you're looking for beer or something basic…read more Their menu shrunk extremely, and they were out of boned wings. Their soda machine was definitely on the verge of being out. When coming over with the drinks, he had spilled them a good amount. The service wasn't too attentive or friendly. Granted they weren't mean. The food just wasn't a vibe in my opinion. The boneless wings were nicely moist in the middle, so that was good. Just wasn't too satisfied here. Loved the decor and the layout though. Just needs better service and more options.

They have been closed for at least a year if not longer. At this point I'm just filling space.read more

Fantastic food, service, and beers. Have visited a couple times over the past few months -- just…read morethe hubs and I, with a small group of friends, and with a large family group for a birthday -- and have been really pleased with the consistency of the experience, no matter how many of us there are, everyone has left more than satisfied. THE SYSTEM/ORDERING // Menus are on the tables, select what you like and order from the bar. Get your pour card so you can self-pour the beers of your choice -- try a little sampler or commit to a full pint, the choice is yours and you pay by the ounce instead of by the glass! I've been so impressed by how easy the system is to use and how many delicious brews I've been able to try for a really reasonable price! THE FOOD // The pretzels are the perfect shareable size for two (they don't last long at my table), the sandwiches are very generous (Turkey and avocado club was enormous, and the pulled pork was juicy and sweet), and the strawberry/blueberry salad was fantastic. They often have specials, too, like coney dogs. THE BEER // This is why you're here, right? There's been a really great variety of styles each time I've visited, and since it's pay-by-the-ounce, I've been braver about trying styles I'm less familiar with or trying styles that I don't typically like just to see if TF can change my mind. My favorites so far are stouts and IPAs -- Knife Fight in a Phone Booth (NE hazy IPA), Mint Maverick (imperial stout), War Bonds Breakfast Stout (oatmeal), and Because I Was Inverted (BIWI) Mango (milkshake IPA). My husbands favorites are the Blue Raider (Kolsch) and Calypso a unleashed (double IPA), which was a collaborative release. There is a cooler of cans for your take home pleasure, too. THE ATMOSPHERE // The space is decently sized, with a variety of regular and high-top tables, and a little makeshift bar near the ordering line. Inside they have a few TVs going, too, usually with sports on. Outside, they have additional seating that will probably fill up quickly once the weather warms up a bit. PARKING // parking is limited on their side of the street. The old Fulton bank is permanently shutdown, so people use the drive through lanes for parking, but there is a little lot right across the street for TF guests, and no one will block you in there.

This is not usually a place I would visit, but when looking up places to go on a special occasion,…read moreaxe throwing just stood out. We parked across the street in the gravel lot, signs have the buildings number (252) on them designating the spots. Building does have stairs, but they also have a small lift for handicap accessibility. Interior looks exactly like you would expect in a place like this, full of wood everywhere. Due to COVID restrictions, you have to order food, and they have a basic menu that includes things like hot pretzel braids. Our group sampled various Mead's and liked them, but they do offer Beer and Soda. Staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The highlight of the trip and worth every dollar was the axe throwing. You purchase a ticket at the main register, walk over to the throwing area, and sign in. They give you clear instruction how to do it and you're throwing. The instructor was great and very personable. The throwing is very safe and our group loved it, even when we didn't always find the target. Absolutely would return here.

Amazing beer/cider selection and so good! We got the sampler and it was hard to pick a favorite,…read morethey are all worth trying and buying!!! Axe throwing was such a great way to let off steam. The instructors were very knowledgeable and didn't hover or make us uncomfortable and they would offer tips as needed but just let us do our thing. I definitely recommend and will go back. They have a small off street parking area too.

Enjoyed coming back here, liked it more than I had remembered…read more We had a nice quick dinner at Burley Bar and Thistle Finch Distillery. Ordered the Wedge salad, and since tacos were on special, two of each the chicken and beef. They were also nice enough to make the elote pretzels without the finishing seasoning and give us cheez dip since that's what the kids prefer. Overall very nice and very good with a few small and tasty surprises

Penley's is packed with craft beer from Victory, Lancaster Brewing, and other great breweries. Or if you prefer they have seltzers and smoothies as well. Its a cozy, convenient, and feels like an medieval pub. Draft beers come in sturdy souvenir cup that looks like a old wooden grog cup. It is important to note that you need your drivers license, even if you are old. They are required to scan IDs and can sell four beers per ID per day.

Stopped in to Mad Chef unexpectedly while traveling through Lancaster…read more My wife and I were hungry and tired from traveling through Pennsylvania. Thankfully Mad Chef was open later than most places so we got in before the kitchen closed. I enjoyed the low lighting with the brewery equipment shining in the background. Having the Phillies game on the tv's only added to our experience. Our drinks and food were excellent. I always like to enjoy a local craft beer, having it paired on site with fabulous eats is even better. I ordered Mr Dynamite Brown, their American brown ale which was fabulous. We ordered a small Pommes Frites (French fries) that were cooked in Canola oil. While light in color, these fries were cooked to perfection. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, salted just right. My wife ordered the pretzel and said it was her type, buttery, salty, and doughy. I ordered the Korean Pork Nachos, by far the best nachos I've ever had the pleasure to devour. I can't begin to describe how well the roasted corn poblano medley brought this plate together. Every bite had an explosion of flavor with the Korean glaze and Gochujang aioli. This dish blows Guy Fieri's trash can Brisket nachos out of the water. If ever in Lancaster don't pass up on the Mad Chef Craft Brewing gem.

This was my 2nd time coming to Mad Chef!…read more The first time I came here was about 2 years ago (before doing yelp reviews). I was not very impressed. This time around I cannot complain! Their specials are all revolving around the Masters which was unique! We tried the Pimento, Fried Green Tomato, Chicken Sandwich (The Pimento Birdie). This was a delicious sandwich that just screams Georgia! We also tried the Madfather Chicken Sandwich! Pesto, Vodka Sauce, Mozzarella, this thing was outstanding! The fries are always a highlight here! We got the bucket (had a bigger group) and it came with 3 sauces. 1 tiny little knock on the fry bucket....the entire bucket was not filled with fries. The bottom of the fry bucket had about an inch or 2 of crinkled up paper..... All of the food was outstanding. The beer was good. Tons of space and seating. Very easy ordering process. Go up to the counter, tell them your table number, and your food arrives shortly! Prices are high here! Expect a larger number on your check if consuming both food and alcohol!
