The food was outstanding, the drinks were excellent, and they had a huge menu with plenty of food and drink options to choose from. Everything about the experience was impressive, from the quality of the meal to the overall atmosphere. This is definitely a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, great drinks, and a solid local spot to check out. I will absolutely be going back.

The drink Itself was extremely weak and on the on the high end of prices. I could have all most two drinks at a dive bar. I'm a firm believer if you charge more for what you have then deliver.

The bartender let me try a couple of samples and then I settled on a beer that I found nice and tasty. I sat down at a table with my friend to drink our beverages. Other people were getting food but we were just interested in having a drink. The staff was very friendly but there were several families with little children, and the kids were running around barefoot screeching at the top of their lungs while the parents were eating and drinking. If it hadn't been for that, we probably would have stayed longer. Overall it's a nice place to grab a beverage and have a bite to eat.

4 stars for a very simple but very fun small town brewery…read more I told this story to the server and now I'll tell it to you: a few years ago, Shock Top created an amazing beer called the Pretzel Wheat. It tasted just like pretzels and was something I bought all the time. Anheuser-Busch then purchased Shock Top and discontinued my beer. Ever since then, I have been looking for a pretzel beer replacement, but the only places that ever sold it were far away breweries, so I thought my pretzel beer drinking days were over. Fortunately, a friend of ours told us about some Pennsylvania breweries to check out that were only a couple hours away. One of those breweries was Aldus Brewing up in Hanover (not too far from Gettysburg). I happened to check out the venue's website and saw that it sold...pretzel wheat beer! After a few months of going back and forth about the distance (a little less than 2 hours from DC), my wife and I finally jumped in the car one lazy Saturday and drove up. The brewery is located pretty close to a cemetery in a rather residential area. We parked on the street and saw lots of outside tables and only a few people. My wife and dog grabbed a table as I headed up some stairs and inside to check the place out. The brewery has a very clean and new look (I think it was maybe a year old at the time of this writing) with a bar off to the right and more seating farther inside. The bartender asked if I needed help, I told her we were sitting outside, and she said someone would be right out. A server came outside to help us a few minutes later. She was generally pretty pleasant and was able to tell us a good bit about some of the beers the venue offered. We decided to start with a soft pretzel and cheese to go with our beers that was absolutely delicious. We then decided to go with "flights" which wasn't as formal as other breweries in that you say which beers you want and they bring you small plastic cups of the beer. That totally worked for us and gave us the chance to try a bunch of beers for what felt like next to nothing in terms of price. The beers we tried included the Driving Me Nuts (hazelnut beer that was like other chocolate beers), My Cherries Amour (fun cherry beer), Berry Your Blues (an excellent blueberry beer), Sunset Daydream and Old Favorite Lager (standard easy drinking beers), and of course, the Pretzel Wheat. The Pretzel Wheat (which I only figured out once we were there was due to Hanover being essentially Pretzel Town USA) was absolutely delicious and exactly what I was looking for. In fact (and this is how the brewery will know who wrote this), I decided to buy 3 cases of the Pretzel Wheat that day. As each case holds 24 beers for something like $35 or $40, I think I ordered enough beer to last me until our next mecca up to the great Pennslyvania north in 2021. Overall, Aldus Brewing provided us with a nice brewery experience and a chance to get ahold of some pretzel beer. While a 2 hour drive might not be for everyone, I would definitely recommend checking this spot out if you are in the area.

Food is also available, but we did not sample the menu--hence my "personal limit" of four stars for a drinks-only review. Starview has somewhat limited hours--open Wed thru Sat--so check befiore visiting. The bar was reasonably busy during our Saturday evening visit with what seemed to be a nice mix of visitors and locals Starview is definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in lovely Columbia, PA.
