We happened to be there for Thursday music night, having found the place on our travels home. What…read morea treat! With tables to sit at but lots others filled with people enjoying life, we could tell it was a place to be at. The service was with a smile, and quick and perfect. Food was delicious with good portions. The band was upbeat and wonderful. And the beer? We all had different ones and enjoyed them all! Best? We were lucky enough to meet the brewmaster, David. His enthusiasm and knowledge was amazing! Also lucky? Meeting Erin who shared the history of the beginnings of the brewery. What a grand evening. A place for locals, for sure, but also a welcoming venue to people newly stopping in. While I'm sure all the extras might not happen to everyone everyday who comes (or maybe it will), it is indicative of a place that knows how to make people welcome. I highly recommend GearHouse Brewing!

It was ok. I'll start off by saying that I'm not much of a…read morebeer drinker. My partner is though. We came in to get drinks to go with our food (we got food from the food truck outside "Firebox"). The food from Firebox was good and it was a generous portion for the price. The drink options that were not beer were limited, and half of those options on the menu weren't available. My partner got the berry chocolate stout and said it was "pretty good". We hoped to sit outside, but the only available table had broken glass all over it from a busted door. It does have convenient parking and I liked the industrial decor. The service was good and the lady was very nice. One thing I will point out is that one of our glasses had pink lipstick on it from a previous customer. But if you only want beer and a place to chill - it might be just right for you.

3 - Solid choice if you're in the area. Skip to the end to see my rating scale…read more Starting with the venue, it's really my kind of place. I appreciate the industrial feel and open plan. I also appreciate the ample outdoor seating available. Always a big plus for me, even if the outdoor area is really just tables set up on the sidewalk overlooking the parking lot - as it is in this case. The service was fine. It wasn't crazy busy there but the bartender had a little edge to her like we were more on an annoyance than a patron. They have a refill club where you can buy a mug and get your name printed on it with discounted refills. Again I appreciate that kind of thing, but the bartender seemed way more interested in some of the regulars than us. Just the vibe she gave off that night I guess. And lastly the beer...it's solid. Not great, but solid. Lots of darker beers which is fine for me personally, but the darks outnumbered the IPAs, pilsners, etc the night we were there. I'd expect a little more variety. Still, it's good enough that I'd go back next time I'm in Cumberland, but not so good that I'd make a special trip out of my way. My scale: 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive up to 30 minutes just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here

I am so glad that I decided to dine at a brewery than a sit down restaurant because the fries at…read moreBack Porch just might be the best fries I've ever enjoyed. They have plenty of beers on tap today cover a variety of styles that I'm comfortable saying offers something for every taste. Hooray for peanut butter porter, their Liquid Lust Peanut Butter porter is above average as compared to other porters I've tasted. If you can't decide on a beer get a flight, you get four 4oz pours. $12 I enjoyed the fried goat cheese burger $16.95 with a side of fries. I initially asked for house made chips but on the bar keeps recommendation I went fries and glad I did as their fries are AMAZING. If you can't find street parking there is plenty of parking behind Back Porch which is free after 5. I will most definitely return next time travels being me to central PA.

We were in the back heated patio. My group was at least 40 people and they handled it well. Everyone had hot food, it came fast if you arrived late to order. Huge beer selection. Keep an eye on the IPAs, they go fast and you will be sad to miss them. I would definitely return!

Fenced in outdoor space, corn hole, food, drinks, live music, and recommended by a friend. And technically it had all of those things! And yet somehow, those things were generally only okay. First, music was inside and it was incredibly loud. So we go outside which was just.... A mess. Like, we got mustard on our clothes from an unclean table; food and napkin scraps all stuck in the grass everywhere you looked. Then, the service outside is through a window, which in itself is no problem. The issue is that it was single server on a Friday night and the line took a really long time. The food and drinks we did get, we enjoyed. Based on the other factors, I am unsure that I would make it a point to stop here when back in the area.

We ordered the seared ahi tuna which was seared to perfection under a sesame crust and served with wasabi mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. The tuna was nicely seasoned and a solid portion. The spicy burger was a beautiful presentation and equally as tasty-loaded with juicy beef, crispy onions and spicy peppers. The chef did an amazing job with presentation and an equally great cook on the taste.

More kind and accommodating on the phone than just about any restaurant I've ever called. We came in like a half hour early, over the course of 20 minutes, cause we were traveling in multiple vehicles from ways away... I called ahead, but they said it was no problem at all. They were super helpful, I got drinks started while the rest of the party arrived. Ordered a bunch of appetizers... Mozzarella, sweet potato, waffle, fries, calamari... With like three different dipping sauces. Each of those was fantastic. Folks ordered burgers, chicken, cheesesteaks, traditional fair, like cottage pie, etc. Quantities were massive. Food was tasty. Many to go boxes were provided. The desserts were a surprise... I got my bread pudding to go. And then a few people got the lava cake and shared it. Great beer selection. Great cocktail selection. Great music on the speakers... At least I thought so, the Young'ns weren't as impressed with the sing-along Classics. Our server was beyond helpful, responsive, kind, accommodating,; probably one of the best I've ever had... Is that possible? Big party, I didn't check the details on the check... and the large party tip was included already. So I gave her too much cash for the tip, she stopped me on the way out and wanted to make sure I didn't screw up... Which I did. So she returned a couple bucks. But she earned every every bit for a tip yesterday.

We started with the goat cheese brûlée, which was the perfect mix of sweetness, saltiness and cheesiness spread on perfectly warmed pita slices. We then went with the Burger of the Month, loaded with pork belly and mushroom goodness. For the beverage, I had the Fig and hive mule made with their homemade fig vodka. It was refreshing, though I'm told that many people find the liquor here to be too harsh. I didn't experience it myself. Would definitely come back!
