This place was so good we came back twice while in town, for both the food and drinks. Both our…read moreservers were really nice, especially on the second day when we were exhausted from the airshow and couldn't make up our minds about anything! We just knew we wanted beer and good food. The way this play is decorated with the low lighting when you walk in is also really nice, the bar and the chandeliers they have are nice. Definitely not the vibe I thought we were walking into but enjoyed it! First day we ordered bang bang shrimp, Brussel sprouts and the pork belly BLT. The next day I was so tempted to order the same thing, but I tried their seasonal wing sauce- mango habanero and it was delicious!

Recognized this place since we had been to the Dryville location a few times. Had a great French martini to start. Lobster grilled cheese for me with the tastiest lobster I've had in years. Partner went with his default; a burger. He ate it all without a word and declared it excellent after his plate was clean. Service good. A good day surviving this frozen white hellscape.

This place has become a favorite of my husband's and mine! The food and service are consistently…read moreexcellent! The drinks are served up strong and service by our server tonight, Grace, was very attentive. Every time we come here we order the crispy potstickers appetizer and we agreed that their fried pickles are the best we've had anywhere. The dill dipping sauce that comes with the fried pickles is the bomb. My husband loves burgers and it's not always easy to find places that actually serve great burgers, but tonight he said "this is delicious!" Our server, Grace, was friendly, helpful and paid attention to the right time when to offer another drink or see if we want anything else. The music playing is a mix of genres so there's something for everyone and we enjoy it. They play it at the perfect volume. Loud enough to hear it well but not so loud that we can't hear each other talk. And, the outdoor patio seating is dog friendly! Reading some of the other reviews, I am baffled that people are leaving three and four stars when they have nothing but raving positive things to say (awesome, fantastic, etc) about the food, drinks, ambiance and service. That makes a place worthy of a five star review. Do yourself a favor and visit the Liberty Taproom!

Food was good. We had a group of 8, and it took forever for food to come out. Went through 3 rounds…read moreof drinks before we got to the food. The place was not full either. I had the cheesesteak lasagna (1st for me) and it was very good. Overall, the food was a 4 and speed and service a 2.

Dating back to 1925 they've left it as close to original as possible, giving Jack's Pub a unique, vintage vibe I haven't found anyplace else! Every other Saturday and most Thursdays Taren works the bar and I've never met a better bartender anywhere! She's the BEST!

We started to go to Jack's about 3 years ago when my husband finishes his night shift…read moreround.....that's 7am. It's fun to go "day drinking" once a month. We loved it right away. It probably hasn't changed much at all since it opened in 1925. The bartenders are friendly, the drinks are cold, and it's a fun way to spend a couple of hours. The owner, Kyle, stops in often. He's really a great guy and really cares about the place. The bar is that lovely dark, ornate wood which could never be replaced today. The jukebox is awesome. The patrons are really nice to us and we always feel welcome. Rich, the bartender, is our particular favorite.

Run, don't walk the Rural City. If you want the feel of a local community bar/pub with great, well…read morecrafted beer then Rural City is your place. The range of available beers will suit everyone in your group. I am a local. This is my regular, go to spot and I've been to every craft brewer in Northern Lancaster and Southern Berks Counties. The staff is exceptional in helping people select beers. The food compliments the beer offerings. The rotating variety of egg rolls is unique. If you remember the former brewery, which shall remain nameless, forget it. Rural City will blow it away. Drop in and say hello to Ben and James (the owners). This might easily become your go to spot.

Visited this place from out of town and saw a HUGE beer garden on the website. Sadly when we went…read morethere was no beer garden but that place was still pretty cool. You can sit wherever you'd like and there are games and stuff to use while you're there. For a beer company, the selection was fairly small. They did have canned cocktails that were local though! Food menu was pretty big. The burger and tacos were delicious, the mozzarella sticks only had 3 sticks which seemed too small to be app. Overall nice place with friendly staff.

When I receive them, I thought the color looked a little off, but I thought it was maybe the way the chef had spiced them. I had eaten one and only picked at the other. After getting home, which took us about 40 minutes I started feeling nauseous and then I began throwing up. The next day I had horrible G.I. symptoms. I do believe there were something wrong with the crabcake, so I reached out by email on their website to let them know. I still have not heard anything back from anybody. Very disappointed with the quality of the food and the lack response by the owners for not reaching out.

Was not crowded at all No bread to the table. They charge a credit card fee which is funny because my credit card is the reason I went there for a promo. I had the scallops and they were pretty good. Not much of a side on these. Wife had braised short rib and that was a good size portion and she enjoyed it. Would like to try the 2nd floor if we go here again.

While visiting from California, we met friends here as halfway point, not knowing what we were walking into so completely bias and giving this place a full chance. It's beautiful inside and out; so why is it so dead? The service was more than subpar. The place was really empty inside, but it took about 10-15 minutes for all of us to get our cocktails and they all came out at different times, so none of us had them together. What's more, due to food allergies and sensitivities, I requested my salad with dressing on the side, with shrimp; because I'm allergic to chicken. My salad came out smothered in dressing, with no protein. The server returned to our table and apologized for the missing protein, taking the salads back to the kitchen and returning with mine topped with chicken... 2 of our meals were completely wrong. At the end of the meal, two salads and and a couple glasses of wine were $93... I have to give them 3 stars. It was just alright at the end of the day.

It was kind of dead, just three or four people at the bar and people stopping in to grab beer to go. It was pretty laid back, no fuss, nice and relaxing. I particularly enjoyed the picture of Michael Constantine on the wall (the dad from My Big Fat Greek Wedding). I remember hearing he lived in the area... $2.25 Yuengling bottles, $1.50 PBR draughts (not my bag, the metal shavings make my throat bleed, but ok), and Leffe for $3 or 4. Some local brews on tap including a Slyfox IPA. Also, the bathrooms are so tiny (really tiny) that the sink is out in the main bar area. Wash your hands or everyone will know what a dirty little monkey you are!
