(Small menu) 99% fried. I ordered a crab cake sandwich. It was delicious for the price I paid. That I do recommend. Service was decent. Smoking is allowed in here. Some you will smell like smoke when you leave. They pool tables and skill machines. Prices over all are not bad. I'm not really don't live that close to this place. But I would return. It is better than some places close to home.The 3 star rating is based on total experience and smoking inside.

There is a solid amount of parking around the building. Make sure you don't miss the entrance! Atmosphere: very chill, love the vibe with the lights and being on a deck. It gives a beachy vibe in some way but just very open air and relaxing. I saw they have a huge heater above the one part of the deck so I'm assuming that's for when it gets colder out since it's all open air. Not too loud and family friendly. There is a bar in the middle you can sit at and a mix of high tops and regular tables. Pretty clean too when we came. Service: our waitress was very nice, I forget her name but she was very attentive to us and the surrounding tables from what we saw. Very knowledgeable about the menu too. Food: wow those nachos we ordered from the appetizer menu was huge! Definitely recommend coming and just dining on the different appetizers especially the French fries....we brought them home as leftovers and they were just as great reheated in the oven!! They say they are "the best fries in town" I have to agree. Shoestring and crispy! The bangin shrimp was spicy (as it says) and delicious. Overall we will return and we are glad we tried this place out finally. If you're in the Ephrata area, I do recommend stopping by here for lunch or dinner.

Had a great family dinner time together! This place is definitely a great ambiance.........read more

Visited Southern Market on a Friday night, a food hall located a few blocks from downtown…read moreLancaster. 1888 Bar is situated in the center of the market and there are a bunch of televisions. We grabbed food from one of the vendors (note that most of the food stalls close around 9:00 PM) and then settled in at the bar to watch a game. The bar stayed open until after 11:00 PM, allowing us to enjoy the entire game. The bar offers a cocktail menu as well as a curated selection of Pennsylvania craft beers. I tried the Stable 12 Fresh Picked Strawberry Lime sour beer ($7.50 for a 13 oz. pour). It was flavorful, slightly sweet, and a nice change from the usual beer options. The bartenders were attentive, friendly, and helpful throughout the evening. The space itself is very large, clean, open, and modern, with what appears to be a beautifully renovated warehouse-style design. The black-and-white color palette, exposed metal elements, and high ceilings create a contemporary industrial atmosphere that feels both inviting and spacious. Whether you're stopping by for drinks, catching a game, or pairing your beverage with food from one of the market vendors, 1888 Bar is a great addition to Southern Market.

I chose some breweries nearby and it was easy to walk around and explore. I was blown away by the development of this market, so modern and well done but also maintain the historic significance. Right in the middle is Bar 1888. It's all open air with the hustle and bustle of the market around it. They had a great tap list of local beer, so I had to get one while we took a break from walking. The bartender was immediately attentive and friendly through our quick stay. There are so many fun food choices nearby too, so if you're looking for a spot where there's something for everyone, this is worth a stop.

The all male bartenders provided fantastic service, if you happened to be a scantily clad woman; me like all the other guys waiting at the bar were left waiting for sloppily poured drinks for most of the night. The night ended in the classiest way possible, with a shooting. outside of Penn Square.

The atmosphere, the food and the staff at the Rendezvous are excellent. To add to the atmosphere was the music which I learned was actually streaming the bartenders iPod via Pandora Internet radio. This was music to my ears (pun intended). I believe that the good music can be as important as pairing wine or drinks with food and Ashley had it dialed in. While at the bar I ordered a Kettle One Martini with a lemon twist. The drink was delivered and look liked any other martini but then I took a drink. The martini was very smooth and the lemon twist was incredible. In fact it may have been the best Martini I ever had. If you are looking for a great atmosphere, great service and possibly the best Martini's you'll ever have then make it a point to visit Ashley at the Rendezvous lounge. I should mention something about the food since I did eat 3 meals there. Of course the Martini's were a big draw but the food is equally good. Over the 3 nights that I dined at the Rendezvous Lounge I had roasted pears and Brie Quesadilla, Wedge Salad with thick cut bacon, Chesapeake Blue Crab Bisque, Central Market Salad with goat cheese and cranberries and their seared tuna. All of which were presented nicely and tasted wonderful. I recommend any of these small plates depending on what your in the mood for. I look forward to my return visit to the Marriott at Penn Square and the Rendezvous Lounge. I hope to hear Pandora, see Ashley and enjoy some of the other fabulous creations at the Rendezvous.
