Venues in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

I am so glad to have discovered this new spot in Harrisburg. We stopped in for an evening for appetizers and drinks. Be aware, you do have to park in street parking and may have to pay to park depending on what time you go. They have a nice area downstairs and another upstairs with quite the "divey" vibe. The drinks are excellent. I had the blue Hawaiian which was decorated all cute with a tropical twist. My husband got the Saturn, and he liked the drink despite not being a gin fan. The espresso martini was excellent, highly recommend. I got the pickled eggs for an appetizer, which had a bit too much vinegar for me amongst all the ingredients, but were still good overall. My husband got the chicken dumplings, which he said was tasty with the sauce, but was a bit dry. Overall we had a good experience with excellent service. We just wish they had a bit more options on the food menu.

This place is so fun and the cocktails are wonderful! Updating my review after an absolutely wonderful birthday experience at High Dive! We had a very large party that the staff graciously made room for on a very busy night (Thanks Minh!)! The drinks were fantastic and everyone had a wonderful time!

Talk about a cool place! This farm to table dining experience is one you’ll want to bring friends and family to. With artist quarters and galleries to check out while you wait, and even an entire craft brewery selection to choose from at the bar you’ll want to keep coming back. The menu items are all so enticing it was difficult for me to choose what I wanted to eat; I would’ve ordered the entire menu if I had the time. Had the wood fired pesto pizza and everything about it was great from the bread, to the sauce, cheese and pesto! I strongly recommend the French press coffee if you want a good cup, and if you want a cocktail, you can’t go wrong with anything on this menu. The drinks are beautiful and taste incredible. Will definitely be coming back! Just don’t forget to make a reservation as this establishment is really popular during the holiday season.

A fantastic brewery with great food and great local artists. We came after spending the day in Harrisburg looking for a unique place to grab a drink and a bite to eat and we chose correctly. Most of the staff were super friendly and our waiter was very helpful with the menu and all the beers. They even let us have some samples at our table. The hostess didn't set a good first impression as she was rather condescending, but luckily it got better after her. The drink menu is decent. We tried a few beers and we didn't care for any of them, luckily the coxktails were good. The food came out much faster than we expected which was great and everything was really good. We were really impressed. After dinner we checked out the local shops and artists. Overall, this was a great dining experience with great food. Overall I think it's a cool place and we enjoyed ourselves. Recommended.

Friendly and safe environment not only for the LGBTQ+ community but also for the straight one that visits very often. Great variety of activities not only on the weekends but also trough the week. The cocktails are awesome and you can also enjoy of drag shows.

I love Karma. It has been a safe place for me to be myself. I feel like I have been able to express myself more than anywhere else. The owners and employees are more than welcoming than anywhere else I have experienced. I love being able to be myself with no consequences as well as the friends I have made. This place will always be a second home to me and I am very appreciative of the welcoming and friendly vibes this place exhibits. Thank you to both the owners and all the employees for welcoming me to the Karma family.

Great Club. Great Bartenders. Usually have good food up to 9 pm. Love the place. When I’m in town its my go to.

Yes, they have pool tables and no, the place isn't haunted. So many reviews mentioning ghosts in the kitchen, ghosts in the game room...NONSENSE!

I just had my birthday dinner at note.bistro & winebar. The atmosphere was fun, warm, and inviting. Everyone was super welcoming, and our server was excellent. She helped us decide on a wine (all options were amazing). There are so many gluten-free options, which is a big bonus for me! For dinner, my scallops were perfect. Everything we tried was exceptional! I loved the note pad where people could share their experiences! Definitely a must go!

Driving down from the finger lakes to Baltimore we wanter a dinner stop in Harrisburg and found "Note" using Google maps. It was set in a quiet residential area northwest of downtown with nice outdoor seating. In the late afternoon there was shade to be had and we enjoyed a delicious cocktail followed by a wonderful dinner at sunset. On street parking was available a short walk away. There were some families with small kids outside with us and all were enjoying themselves trying the different foodie tastes. The mussels and scallops were especially good.

An authentic IRISH PUB in central downtown Harrisburg 🍀 the draft beers from the tap were cold fresh and delicious 🍺. We sat at the bar and the service was +++. The menu was extensive with the Shepards Pie being one of the best we have ever tried. YUM! The burger was classic and well prepared. We found the vibe to be lively and the background 70’s rock music set the scene for an enjoyable dinner. Check out this very cool Irish Pub!! 🍀🍔🍻👍

This is a real Irish hub from the extensive beer list to every item on the menu, including shepherds pie, made with chunks of delicious perfectly cooked lamb. The staff is friendly efficient and the prices are extremely reasonable. This is definitely a great place to go for a perfect lunch or just feeling like some Irish shepherds pie or bangers and mesh.

Great vibe, loved spinning the wheel. Didn't play any, but the video games on the TVs in the booths were cool. Def gonna check those out next time. Not a smoker but upstairs is the smoking bar and they had some arcade type games up there. Rly sick atmosphere

Excellent place for beer downtown - I really liked the server on the first floor and honestly am sad that both the York and Mechanicsburg locations closed - there’s a certain charm to the bar here that feels unique and I couldn’t recommend it more as a casual experience! I’m pretty sure they have more than one floor(?) and the 2nd floor looks to be a smoking area - but there’s also games and etc up there. Definitely a strong recommendation!

Great food and drinks with the service and ambiance to match! We didn’t know what to expect going into this, but we were blown away by the whole experience. The food was fresh and was properly prepared. The drinks were all well prepared; down to the details of glassware selection and garnishes. All of the staff we interacted with were professional and friendly. The cherry on top was the atmosphere to match. The only critique I have is that it would be nice to see a larger selection of the “small plates” section on the menu. I should also point out that this restaurant has limited indoor seating and it may be a good idea to get a reservation.

Maria is the best server! Thank you again! She is super friendly & attentive. Food and drinks are amazing. This is a go-to when I visit Harrisburg. If the weather allows, sitting outside allows for great convo & atmosphere. (Photo: ricotta gnocchi & coral crush)

Absolutely one of the greatest breweries we ever been! Let’s start with food - the best you will ever have ! We ordered Gator bites, Angry Mac&Cheese with gator and fish and chips - absolutely finger licking. Beer - got two flights of 6 - wow ! ( flight of 6- $13) . Clean , quiet and pleasant all around . Plenty of parking . Now the best part…. SERVICE! From the very first “Hello” to the last “ Hope we will see you soon “ - absolutely best one we ever experienced! Arley - ( as he said :” like Harley , just without the H “ 😁) best server ever ! He is matching the place , was super fun to interact with and delivers ton of great facts about beer and food , told us what was in a menu since they opens the doors , I told him to make picks in both of my flights and o boy! So 3️⃣ words to describe this place would be : welcoming, delicious and comforting . Absolutely, without a doubt- if you in 45 min radius - come and visit , the place is truly great !

After a long drive and while sitting in traffic, I saw this place along the highway and thought why not. Great decision! Ordered from the Octoberfest menu and got a beer, pretzel and schnitzel. Everything was fantastic with my favorite being the pretzel and beer cheese. I will definitely go back anytime I'm in the area.

Really lively bar with live music, a fun crowd, and great bartenders. Went on a Thursday, the two man band had energy and a great set. Really enjoyed just sitting at the bar and the bartenders are attentive and engaging. Only tried the shrimp on the menu but I’m told all the dishes are really good. Will definitely add this to my list of favorite bars, and they serve late so great stop for late night food.

Happened upon this place traveling through. Ít was a Thursday night and there was live music which was very good. The music was a tad loud. Couldn't have been more pleased with the food and friendly service. The poutine was delicious. Spinach salad with quinoa was awesome and club sandwich was huge. We would definitely visit again if traveling through!

I went to HYP social thing, it was pretty cool! Met some new people. The bathroom had a weird smell though, and there were drawings all over the walls. There's street parking available.

Every staff member from bartender to Security was friendly and helpful. The food at the bar was so good. The event we went to see was well organized. Had comfy roomy seating. Great experience overall.

Saw this place on Google Maps after a very late fishing trip and decided we had to try. Serving lots of food options till well after midnight! Reminds me of some kind of old backwoods bar, but has a vibe that is different. Like you might hear more hip hop music than country. Great Service. Enjoyed the food and beer. If you are towing a boat, plan your parking in advance by looking at some maps.

Racism is alive and fueled by gentrification On Monday, I visited Midtown Tavern, a place I used to frequent in my youth, only to have one of the worst experiences of my life. While sitting and listening to Tupac Shakur on my phone, I was confronted by the bartender and told to leave. When I asked if I was violating any policy, I was given no answer — instead I was threatened with the police. At no point was I hostile or violent, yet I was accused of being “hostile.” The situation escalated when patrons began to confront me aggressively, and staff allowed it to happen. When I asked management if I had violated any policy, they had no reply. When I asked why customers were permitted to approach me violently, again, no reply. The truth is, I was removed solely for listening to Tupac — a clear example of how racism and gentrification operate in real time. What once was a bar rooted in community has become a space where Black culture and presence are policed, where playing hip-hop is treated as a threat, and where outsiders feel emboldened to gang up on someone for simply existing authentically. This wasn’t just about music. It was about how certain people and cultures are no longer welcome in spaces they once called their own.

Came in for lunch /dinner before a concert at Hmac concert venue down the street. This time of day not to many patrons, so it was nice quiet. The pretzel bites are amazing! Cut, buttered and lightly crisp. Smash burger is good. The hot sausage is spicy. Beers are very good, the flight is only two beers at a time. The charred peach old fashioned is a definite go to if you don’t want a beer. But lots of other cocktails to partake in if that’s what you like to drink. Outdoor area for enjoying the sun with food, drinks and friends. Parking is along the street for the taproom. If you come often it pays to get the app and sign up for rewards. Plenty of seating at the bar, tables, and comfy seats. Lilly is a sweetheart at taproom. She took our order, chatted, and recommended the apple dumpling for dessert. Ask for her if you come in!!! We have been here a couple times in the past and always love coming back here. Don’t pass on Zeroday Brewing if you’re in the area!

First time here. The place looks great. Clean, modern, and bright with a lot of character. Large beautiful bar with ample seating and outdoor space. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Food was phenomenal. Drinks are creative and delicious. If you like spicy, try the watermelon jalapeño margarita! I highly recommend you try Zeroday out.

My favorite bar in HBG. Welcoming to everyone, regardless of anything. Gay, straight, queer, skin color, whatever. Just not hate. That's not welcome. Just have a good time and be respectful. That's the only demand.

I stopped by for a few hours while waiting for my flight out of Harrisburg. The people were very friendly, the bartender is pleasant and attentive, and the prices are good. It felt like I walked into someone's family home because everyone seemed to know each other. I'll definitely go back the next time I am in town.

Attended a drag show and had a great time. Clean establishment, friendly staff behind the bar and great group of like minded patrons. Would recommend and feels like a cozy, low-key spot for locals.

I don’t get all the good reviews. Must be from regulars. Owners and manager have clearly checked out as evident by looking around. Missing ceiling tile, mirror is back looks like someone spit on it and then smeared it all around, there’s about one LED bulb left in the entire lighting system that’s above the liquor bottles. There’s more employees in the place than customers yet the bar looks like it wasn’t wiped down all night. It used to feel upscale for the area but it’s slowly transforming into dive bar.

Came during restaurant week. The restaurant is to the right after entering the hotel. Was a little confused as we only saw signage for the steakhouse, but they have the same hostess stand. They have little tablets for their regular menu which was fancy. However, there were no prices visible. We just ordered from the restaurant week menu. Everything was delicious with decent portion size. We had leftovers. Our server, Caleb, was okay. He was very nice but a little forgetful, and there were long wait times between courses, to ask for the check, etc. He also charged for a soda refill that we never asked for and that he just brought automatically. We didn’t bother saying anything about it. There was another issue with our check, but that was remedied.

After a long flight we grabbed lunch at this cute gem located inside the Hilton. The service was quick and the food was fresh. The drinks were amazing. This will be our go to when we are in town.

PJ Whelihan’s is awesome. From the moment you walk in until the moment you leave, you are treated like family. The place is spotless clean and everything looks amazing. The team members bend over backwards to help you and make you feel at home. They use the finest quality ingredients to consistently serve taste bud orgasms. You will not be disappointed. Treat yourself and your family to an extraordinary pub experience today. God Bless Blue & Gold! God Bless America! Remember Everyone Deployed Everyday!

I was in Pennsylvania for work this week and finally had the chance to try this place I've been hearing about for over a year--especially the wings, which came highly recommended. I arrived about an hour and a half before closing, as we got into town a bit late. The restaurant was pretty empty at that time, but you could tell it's a popular spot, especially for sports events. The space is large, with plenty of booths, tables, and bar seating. For my meal, I ordered 5 honey hot breaded wings as an appetizer and the fish and chips (I chose tater tots instead of chips) as my main dish. Our server was great--super friendly and attentive throughout the evening. Now for the food: * Honey Hot Wings: Flavor was solid, but they came out about 7-8 minutes after ordering and were semi-cold. That was disappointing, especially with the place not being busy. Cold appetizers are a big negative for me. * Fish & Tots: These were served hot and fresh--really enjoyed them. I'd rate this dish an 8.5/10. Overall, the experience was positive. Despite the cold wings, I'd definitely come back to give them another shot and try some other menu options.

Great little neighborhood bar tucked out of the way. If you're an Eagles fan this is your joint. Clean with an attentive staff. Good parking.

My first time here was for the Tampa Bay game and I love the atmosphere the food is amazing service was quick and the bartender are great and friendly this is the place to be if you're an Eagles fan get here earlier the bar fills quick GO E-A-G-L-E-S🏈🏈🏈

Good food. The owner really care about his food. Excellent Mac & cheese, greens cooked in turkey.

I liked being there for a few monents the atmosphere was calm the ppl were friendly and it was happy hour I enjoyed myself

Had amazing time every time I visited this place, especially for Halloween we tried a new drink which was awesome the atmosphere and the drinks are a good vibe. I definitely enjoyed how nice the people are that work there. And the music and atmosphere overall is really nice as well! I didn’t know they served food here so next time I will try something simple just to see and I will update this review then.

My boyfriend Trent and I had an amazing time. Amazing bar tender, friendly staff. And.... Amazing blend of country music as well as hip hop. Trent and I are simply in love with the place since they reopened. We will definitely be back with lots of friends!

My boyfriend and I stopped in for the first time, on the way home to VA, from a brief trip to NY. The food was amazing and the service from Caleb was stellar. Due to the experience we had, and upon further exploration of the attached hotel, we are making plans to visit again on a future trip. Thank you to Caleb for making our experience such a pleasure!

The service was excellent. We were very pleased with it. Our server Anthony was knowledgeable, personable, timely and attentive. The food, unfortunately, was underwhelming. The portions were generous but the flavors were "meh". I had the pot roast while my husband had fish & chips. My onion soup was just okay. I've had better. The pot roast was bland. My husband was unimpressed with his meal. We shared a potato skins appetizer that was also disappointing. It was more like a shallow baked potato half with a sprinkling of bacon bits, cheese, and a few pieces of green onion than the hollowed out, crisp, potato skin shell loaded with toppings that we were expecting. One last thing, for an "Irish Pub" its selection of beers was not very extensive or adventurous. Its whisky menu however, was nicely varied. Overall the meal was just okay. I doubt we will return.

Food was amazing. Fried and sauced wings were absolute perfection. Drinks were stuff and steady, love it. Only knocked off 1 star for atmosphere, not judging, but people can't be smoking inside nowadays. Guy at the end of the bar before you get to the table was lighting them back.

Came in with 3 people. Paul the bartender was rude and short. Ask for suggestions got “everything” as a response. GF ordered a tequila and coke, got a shot of tequila w/ coke back (not what she ordered) we were charged for the shot and the soda. Seemed like a sneaky tactic (I know bar business well). 6$ we’ll drink ended being 9$. I asked for soda water charges 2$ for it. This might be how they actually do business but I have been in there before and ordered the same exact drinks and wasn’t charged this way. Called back to verify and Jimmy (who was nice as can be) replies with “that’s what we always do”. Maybe it is and that’s great but just letting others know. Pretty sure they just don’t like new customers and are comfy with their regulars when it’s busy. Run your place how you like but we will not be back. Food was nothing exciting but was the only thing that I’d give props too, so great job BOH. FOH lacking if your new customer take your money where they appreciate! 🍻

Myself & a sibling went here a few nights ago for drinks and I ended up ordering Cajun Cream Salmon & Shrimp Pasta … THE BEST PASTA IVE HAD IN A WHILE!!!!!!! On top of the good strong drinks, and good vibes with ALL the staff, even other customers, good eats and the dope lighting inside. 10/10. Good luck to you all, may your business always thrive !

Went for Sunday Brunch, One of the BEST lemon drops I ever had...the food and prices were really good. There was an annoying guy, blasting his iPad in the front, other than that, great spot.

I did not rate the food as they do not have food service. They just have bar service. However they do have food trucks that seem to be open periodically. I would call them to confirm the food truck is open prior to going if you want food. The bartenders were fun and engaging. The drinks were strong but palatable!

Went here mid September in the middle of a weekday so there wasn't much going on but it was a nice spot to chill and have a drink with views of Harrisburg and the river. I imagine it would be a cool spot to hang out at night when the food truck is open.

I have never had an experience at a restaurant that made me want to go out of my way to give a review but this place was AMAZING. The food was delicious, all of the staff was SO friendly and kind, the vibes were great, the music was perfect, the place was clean, service was timely, I couldn’t find a complaint if I wanted to. I went on Sunday for brunch and have been raving to all everyone about how good this place was since. If you have the opportunity to try this place out, do it!

Visiting from out of town. The food was wonderful for the prices. The staff was awesome. Great atmosphere. Love the shrimp options. The cocktails were priced right.

Tucked away but buzzing with energy, D’s Sports Bar delivered one of the best game day experiences I’ve had in a long time. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with friendly faces, cold drinks, and wall-to-wall TVs—basically sports heaven. Kassidy made the night. She went out of her way to find us the ideal table with a clear view of the Stanley Cup Finals. Her timing, energy, and attention to detail made us feel like VIPs. The food? Next level. The Double Smash Burger was a knockout—crispy edges, juicy center, and packed with flavor. And those rosemary fries? Unreal. They might be the unsung hero of the menu. This place nails the trifecta: killer food, awesome service, and a vibe that’s all about good times. D’s is officially our go-to for big games—can’t wait to come back.

Very casual place with a sports bar vibe. Took the bartender forever to come out of the back and take my order but she was friendly and poured a stiff drink. I hear the wings here are good but I didn't order any food.

Amazing experience. The waitress actually waited while we were in prayer before we ate. So incredibly respectful to peoples' privacy and family moments. Our son was so comfortable with the environment and we enjoyed the patio. He even did the math for the tip for the waitress and worked it all out for her. It was the cutest thing ever and filled us all with joy. The people matter every bit as much as the food. The food was great but the service was so good we forgot about the food because we were busy living in the moments.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ While vacationing in PA, I had the pleasure of dining at Boro Bar & Grill, and I can’t recommend it enough! Nestled right by the river, this gem offers not only delicious food but also stunning views that make for a perfect dining experience, especially during sunset. Now, let’s talk food, specifically the wings. Everything I had was good, but the wings really stand out! With so many sauces and rubs to choose from, these are a MUST HAVE when coming here. I dare say they may be the best wings I’ve ever had in PA. Overall, Boro Bar & Grill is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy great food in a picturesque setting with a fun, local, dive/sports bar vibe. I can’t wait to go back! @fairfieldfooddude

We had wings and burger and bacon and cheese fries. They were as good as you could get. The server was really friendly, and were served quickly for lunch. The dining area was a little loud, and it was confusing on where to park and enter the restaurant. But I'd go back..

we had a great experience at this restaurant. Visiting the area and stopped in for lunch. Was greeted right away and given a booth to sit at. Our server was prompt and friendly and attentive. They had a lunch menu with great prices- most items on the menu were $9! My husband ordered the Reuben sandwich with a side salad. I ordered the Santa Fe wrap with sweet potato fries. I was amazed at all the grilled chicken and sautéed onions and bell pepper were in my wrap! And my husband (who loves a good traditional Reuben) savored every bite of his sandwich. When his salad came I wished I had ordered a side salad, lots of cheese on top and looked yummy! The portions were large and the food was delicious! We’ll come back here next time we are in Harrisburg!

Fun but I was playing pool and ping pong we had the whole 3rd floor to ourselves. We used all the ping pong balls but we were puting them away as we played and when we finished we would clean them up. They told us to leave while we did nothing wrong. Screw that ya guys suck 🤣 bye forget your 4 customers and your guys attempt to make us buy a drink. Don't recommend.

Their music was okay, kinda hit or miss. This place feels ratchet. And people smoke inside and all smokey smell. We played pool which was nice.

Pretty much what you'd expect for a bar. Beer was cold, wings were 10 for 10, and the fish and chips....well, it was 2 medium-sized pieces of fish with about a pound of fries. Way more than you could eat.....the fries. Overall, it's a decent place for bar fare food. Little pricey for the establishment. 1 beer, and the food was over 30 bucks.

Cute bar, big, really good bartenders! Karaoke Saturdays is a great time. Two pool tables and a nice outside area to chill in. Definitely a good to spot!

Checked this place out after nocturnal, and I like this one better! Their outdoor area's great, and the music was pretty decent. Long lines!

Love this bar! Sweet bartenders, different DJs on weekends, and just overall a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a must try! They also have some good options for tacos

Cool place to sit outside and have a drink on a nice night by the fire pits. Bartender and staff were friendly and the atmosphere was nice. We sat outside so it didn’t bother us, but if you’re inside, they do allow smoking. We would definitely go back again.

Me and my bestie favorite spot when we go out. Mixed crowd of people. Best slushy drinks🤤

I have been asking for a decade what happened to all the REAL bars in America-if you want an actual old school dive bar-this is it!!! Has the atmosphere that everyone knows everyone on a Tuesday at noon-has cheap drinks, juke box, pool table etc. and PEOPLE-people that speak to each other-I feel like every bar now people go with their friends so they don’t meet people in the bar-NOT the case with this place!! If u want to meet people, have a great time-go here! My favorite spot in Pennsylvania!

Excellent!!! Fyi I was only white guy in there with my man Sean whose black and I was totally accepted. Lots of locals. Cash only ATM there. Pool table nice. Beers $2.50. On the dark lighting but cool. Some of the locals seemed confrontationale with themselves but nothing escalated. I totally so come here!!!

I had a great time tonight. I came in to end my vacation properly and the service did not disappoint. The door greeter and guard were great to talk to before I headed in. Walked in with friendly bartenders that were easy to get along with and know their drinks. The ladies are fantastic here in both looks and personally. I had Ashley and Sophia tonight whom I had great conversations with and dances and both are good people :). I will be coming back to see them and the other ladies. I highly recommend this establishment.

I stopped by Savannah's on a whim after riding past a billboard sign on the highway. The dancers were friendly and attractive and the wings were better than I anticipated. The HIDDEN GEM is the bartender Arielle 👀♥️. She stole the show with her beauty, luscious curves and personality. She is the definition of "Cold Peanut Butter Thick" 😉♥️👀🤤. I couldn't keep my eyes off of her. Her drinks were strong and she kept them coming. She was attentive to all my needs and I will definitely come back any night she is working. Follow up visit: Whew, the 3 A's are true goddess..... Arielle sets the tone behind the bar with her beautiful smile and tantalizing shape while Aria and Ashanti hypnotize the crowds with their sensual curves, gorgeous smiles and melanin rich skin..... You will not be able to take your eyes off of them and honestly.... Why would you want to??? I can't wait to go back and get lost in paradise. Don't forget me ladies 😉😍♥️

I went here for salsa, this place is fancy and put-together, it's upstairs. I'd totally go back EDIT! I've noticed this place is way more expensive than other Latin places i got to. They charge around $10 and even have parking! They're charging a crazy $16 here. I don't know if it's the DJ or the owner, but they need to lower the price to keep customers like me.

What lovely times!!!! I was frequent goer to Level 2 and spent time with friends and made new friends… always had same server and she was the best!!! No food at this property but step out plenty…
