Their selection of cans is not as large as it used to be in the early days, but I think that's because they actually have more taps now. So three of the refrigerators now have kegs in them rather than cans. They also still have a nice little food menu with pizzas and sandwiches and things and I hear that the edamame hummus is outstanding. In fact, my sister-in-law brought back two containers of it to go for a friend in Connecticut who loves it so much I actually bought a 12 pack of Lawson's Little Sip to go. They do have a small kind of tight parking lot to the right of their store, but otherwise you can usually find some street parking in the summer they have tables out front.

Beer selection was outstanding and the prices were very reasonable considering the craft selections. We were heading to dinner later, but wanted to try some of the food. The French onion soup was outstanding. Probably one of the best I've ever had. The pizza was also solid and the perfect snack size. Definitely check this place out if you are in the area or staying at the Arts Hotel.

The ambiance hasn't changed much, but didn't need to be. It's a great central location, spacious, the upstairs bar/event space has remained in tact, so not a lot of changes were required. We ordered the Fungus Among Us and it was absolutely mushroom-tastic! If you love mushrooms, you will love this pizza. Plenty of mushrooms and goat cheese to go around, but it does mask the flavor of the onion jam and hot honey.

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.

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.

Another very overdue review (kindergarten teacher life! ), but this one is especially special…read morebecause Bert and the Elephant became part of our wedding story long before our wedding day. About a year before our wedding, my husband and I were exploring Lancaster as a potential wedding location. While walking down the street, I spotted a giant pink elephant. For those who don't know me, Delirium is my all-time favorite beer, and its logo is a pink elephant, so of course, it immediately caught my attention. When we walked inside, and I realized it was a Belgian beer bar and restaurant, I was absolutely ecstatic. Bert, the owner, noticed how excited we were, and we started talking. Bert is incredible! He is so knowledgeable about all of his different beers and cares about every single detail. He even has a different glass for almost every beer because, to him, the details matter. But what really stood out was how he treats people. Bert makes you feel like family. Before we left that day, he even gifted me a little ceramic pink elephant straight from his decor. I was absolutely giddy, and I still have that little elephant proudly displayed in my home today. I knew right then and there that we had to have our after-party at Bert and the Elephant. And we did! We were able to rent out the entire place for two hours after our wedding. We had an open bar for the first hour and delicious finger foods for a late-night snack. I'm sure you're thinking, "That must have been insanely expensive," but it wasn't! And it was the perfect location, right down the street from our hotel, so everyone could walk there easily. Our wedding day fell during a heatwave, and unfortunately, the heat definitely affected how many people could make it to the after-party. Everyone was exhausted from the day, but Bert and his staff still made sure that everyone who came had an amazing time. They were welcoming and attentive, making the night feel so special. Bert and the Elephant turned out to be the perfect way to end our wedding night. What started as a random pink elephant catching my eye on a walk through Lancaster turned into one of my favorite wedding memories. We are so grateful to Bert and his staff for helping us end the night with great drinks, delicious food, and even better memories.

They had a sour in their to go case, so we'll absolutely be back when they have another sour. The only downside is parking, but if there's other stuff you'd like to do (plenty to do in Lancaster), it makes it worth it.

Owners Evita and Solise have created a space that shows appreciation to the culture, while celebrating the stories of people of African diaspora through literature and art. For those who are reading this and are from the DMV area think of Busboy & Poets but with a little twist. So what's the twist you ask? They offer beer and wine through a self-serve tap system. Meaning you receive a wristband that allows you to help yourself to a variety of local beers and wine. Each is charged by the ounce and is charged to your tab at the end of your visit. An added bonus is two of the wines that were available were made in-house; the Concord Jungle and Mizz Education. We enjoyed the Mizz Education which is a sweet and refreshing Moscato so much we ended up taking two bottles home with us. Let me just say this, I've been to my fair share of restaurants for brunch and the food at Concrete Rose hands down is the top 5 best food I've ever had. We tried a variety of options which include the Salmon Avocado Toast, Soul of the Sea and Chicken wings with concord bbq sauce. All were seasoned, cooked and plated to perfection. Whew Lord just thinking about those crab cakes with herbed garlic butter and remoulade sauce has me thinking about taking a road trip to get some more. Ambiance, food and service are all top tier at A Concrete Rose. Do yourself a favor and check them out. There's so much there for you to see and try! I can promise you one thing, you won't be disappointed. Evita and Solise you've outdone yourselves on this one! So proud of what you both have accomplished. Keep shining ladies, the world needs your light!
