If Gary's Bar was in DC, it would be my favorite bar. We were in the area to see Iron Maiden and…read moreevery other bar around Hershey closes at midnight so off to Palmyra we went. The exterior of Gary's is unassuming to say the least and as we drove up, my friend in the back seat involuntarily muttered "What are we doing." However we started to feel the magic pretty quickly once we settled in at the bar. There was great local beer and cider on tap at Palmyra prices and a solid jukebox. "Dallas sucks" was stenciled/stickered onto the mirror behind the bar, which are words that a lifelong Giants fan can get behind.

If you're not from the area and want to meet locals, this is definitely a place where you'll notice…read morethe difference in how you're treated. From our experience, the bartender and barback seemed to prioritize the local regulars first. They would eventually get to us, but only when they were ready. The bartender's name was either Eric or jake , and the barback was Cayden. Cayden seemed to notice what was happening, but he appeared young and understandably didn't want to risk getting in trouble with his boss. At one point, when I mentioned the way we were being treated, he responded, "Well, that's my boss." My husband and I are people of color, and unfortunately, we couldn't help but feel like we were being treated differently because of our skin color. We sat at the bar for about 20 minutes before finally ordering one drink. Shortly afterward, the bartender announced last call. He also closed out our tab without ever asking if we wanted to keep it open. We tried getting his attention again and waited another 15 minutes. When he finally acknowledged us, he said he'd be right with us, but continued serving the local customers. He eventually served everyone who was local and then told us the bar was closed. When I questioned the situation, he cursed at me and said I should have "fucking came earlier" because he was "fucking busy." At that point, it was extremely difficult not to feel like we were being treated differently because we were people of color and not locals. I understand that bartenders get busy, but the difference in how we were treated compared with the local customers was very noticeable. The only positive thing I can say is that the locals themselves seemed welcoming. It's just unfortunate because we have family and friends in the area, and to visit somewhere in a community where we have connections, only to leave feeling disrespected, uncomfortable, and unwelcome, was incredibly disappointing. No one should have to feel like they don't belong somewhere simply because they aren't a local. And regardless of whether someone is a regular or a first-time customer, everyone deserves to be treated with basic courtesy and respect.

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 bartender at the time was particularly very friendly and I could tell he gave off the same vibe to everyone. As I left this bar with a friend, one of the (assumedly) local patrons was telling us we should've purposely nudged a guy seated so that we could more easily leave the bar instead of slowly crossing over. That particular patron looked back at the first guy very annoyed. The first guy was probably already at least semi-drunk and just kept trying to go on with his "joke". Another thing that surprises me is that this bar is closed all day Sunday and that they open at 8 AM according to the Yelp page and stay open until 2 AM. Those are mad hours This coming Sunday, there was a big game with Eagles versus the 49ers. I've never heard of a bar open so early in the morning and not open on Sundays. Not open on Sunday because a lot of regular church-goers in the area, or the staff need a break and maybe they would want to go to church? Reminds me of Chik-Fil-A without the super late hours and instead of family friendly style food and drink and chicken icon, booze instead. There were no smokers when me and my friend were there. I was thankful for that. It looks like PA started to ban smoking in all bars in 2021. Personally, don't miss it! I already have a hard enough time breathing and sleeping without being around that stuff! No food at this establishment. Quality drinks on tap and reasonable prices. Nice staff. From a neighborhood bar, can you ask for anything more?
