    Bedroom 1 Louisa suite
    Linda S.

    We went here for a one night stay in their Malt Baron mansion across the street and a dinner in their restaurant in a cave called the Catacombs. The hotel attached to the brewery doesn't have bathrooms in the rooms, but shared bathrooms elsewhere; so we opted for the place that they also own across the street that did have its own bathroom. The apartment we stayed in was called the Louisa Frank suite. The mansion has 3 apartments in it. I picked Louisa because I liked the 50s vibe it had. The place is a little worn (like the mattresses and some furnishings), but we still loved it. We had dinner reservations in the catacombs. The waiter seemed kind of lost and unsure of himself, and the food is pretty average, but it's still worth going to see. Set your expectations reasonably regarding food quality and lodging, but go for the experience because it's unlike anything else you'll ever do.

    Super cook place to check out. There are catacombs and lots of history packed into this place. We went to the Murder Mystery dinner that was in the hotel part of this long building. This building has been painted and decorated to keep with the time period. Very cool if you are into history. After our dinner, we were given a tour of the catacombs, brewery, dining areas, etc. The tour guide was the owner who was also an actor in our dinner. He is full of knowledge and information about the beer making process and the building itself. The murder mystery dinner was fun. There are 3-4 rooms with patrons and a bar area. The actors move throughout the rooms giving hints, etc. There is a bar where the appetizers were set up and where you were able to order drinks. The drink menu was varied and had some interesting choices. Most were sweet drinks. They do have a full bar as well so you can find something to drink. Dave the bartender is super friendly and attentive. He makes the experience fun too. I would think that they would have had more elevated drinks relevant to that time period. I understand that they were trying to make it more relevant to today to get sales and make people happy. They had lots of options. Even a peanut butter/jelly martini that was spot on. The show itself was great. Very well played by the actors. Hard to follow along a little as the rooms do cause a barrier and you miss parts of the 'show' and the actual murder itself. The actors are friendly and fun. Some people that came even dressed the part. It's a murder mystery speakeasy theme. The hotel and rooms really fit the time period for this as well. The food was a typical buffet/cafeteria food options. You had to pick from chicken or steak when you bought your tickets online. The tickets were about $65 per person. That doesn't include the cost of drinks. The drinks were not pricey. You are paying for entertainment so keep that in mind. We had apps at the bar area that was self serve. Then, we had a salad that was good and soup that was just as good too (broccoli and cheddar). We then had the main course that was served with corn and mashed potatoes. The sides were just meh and the meats were a little dry. There is butter on top of the steak that is tasty. The steaks are served one temp and are thin. We were then given coffee and a piece of chocolate cake with whipped cream on top. After the dinner reveal, the bartender gives you some history of the building and then the owner will come back and take you on at our through the entire building. It is a maze. Super cool to see all the parts. This was a great activity to do. Again, you aren't paying for a $65 meal, but rather entertainment. I would for sure go again. They do have lots of other entertainment options throughout the year and we were told that Halloween is a super spectacular time to visit. If you like history, you will love this place. It is also a working hotel.

    This is a very cool place to check out. It is more for the ambiance than the food. We had the tour and I am guessing by the energy it was our guide's 100th one of the day. It was still kind of interesting. We dined in the catacombs. Our waiter was very nice. The staff in general are very nice and accommodating, as I saw them going out of their way for some guests that really were not appreciative of their efforts. The food was okay. We had brussel sprouts with bacon for an appetizer.I had a chicken stuffed with brie, spinach, and apples with grains on the side. The chicken was a little tough but it was a different flavor experience. We also had a steak that was okay. I was disappointed that they do not have or offer bread with the meals. They did end up bringing me some toasted bread that they give with the soups. The ambiance is dark and being in a catacomb is pretty cool. The tables are very roomy.

    This is the worst experience I've had at a restaurant. celebrating my grandsons graduation and they charged us $ 200 for two sandwiches chicken tenders, a salad, Mac and cheese, and two bowls of soup. I not only would NOT recommend this place, I would also recommend against going to this establishment. Regarding celebrations they charge a two dollars per person fee if you bring in cake. Regarding bathrooms they were the grossest I've seen, like a truck stop. Too add to this environment of dread, the employees couldn't help but complain themselves about how terrible it is working there loudly in the bar. Wait times for food are even worse and food is both greasy and bad extremely salty. Please do NOT go here.

    Using a 500 person event as an excuse for not having food available for regular dinner service is just unacceptable. Staff also has very poor skills when it comes to dealing with customers. They also only offer plastic utensils and the food wasn't even appealing. Very disappointed and would not recommend at all.

    Menu

    July 3rd 2026 - their refrigerator went down today and wont be fixed for a week so no salads, sauces, no dressings, no dips, no wings, no reuben 1000 island, no soups, no juices for cocktails, no BBQ sauce for chicken or pork, no mustard, ketchup, its rough trying to order! Restrooms half out of order, AC sort of working. Our server was very sweet, the bartenders were very nice. The front desk greeter reminds us of the Peter Capaldi Doctor Who and the same personality too. I recommend coming after they get their refrigerators fixed!!

    Once you enter the doors you walk into a historic establishment from Bube's bar to the Catacombs Restaurant 40' underground beneath the surface. The atmosphere is second to none and the decent to the restaurant will be severe if you load up at the bar. Note: Mike at the bar has about 6 craft brews and the abundant of leading brands. I forgot to ask how many stair slips occur annually. Fair warning! The food was very good. Tonight's dining consisted of stuffed mushrooms 8/10, Filet Minion 10/10 and Osso Buso 7/10. Our service was a 10. This experience was a birthday treat from my bride and one I'll be chatting positively about at work in the morning. My head was spinning trying to absorb the decor. This is a really cool spot!

    Michael says very good and filled him

    The steak was amazingly cooked Jude was an amazing server very nice and attentive We got seated in a cave which was very historical and interesting Overall an amazing experience to have!

    Side salad and fall daiquiri- yum!

    Made reservations to have dinner in the catacombs on a rainy Wednesday evening. We were greeted by two friendly gentlemen at the front desk and it was suggested to stop in the Bottleworks for a beer and bathroom stop before our tour started as there are no bathrooms down in the catacombs. The bartender was very friendly and the Pumpkin Ale and Octoberfest beer was delicious! After a short while, we were gathered up to begin our tour of this eclectic brewery, so filled with history! Although the steps were a bit steep, it wasn't too bad and I guess we had enough bevrication with dinner to not even notice going back up! We were seated in a lovely room with approximately 10 other couples. The actual menu had a few more options than the menu on their website. Is it a bit pricey- yes! BUT the food and service was on point and definitely worth every cent! Our server was Jude and he was phenomenal and worked the whole room with great ease and was so friendly. Hubs had the filet and I had a side salad and stuffed chicken breast- everything was delicious. Fall daiquiri was delicious as well! Already planning another visit, can't wait to go back!

    Pork Tomahawk

    This was definitely one of the most unique dinning experiences I've had the pleasure of having. If you are in the Hershey/Lancaster area, I highly recommend making a slight detour over here. We first sat at the bar upstairs for about a half hour before our reservation. My fiancé and I had a drink and shared a humongous pretzel which was hot and delicious. Once we were called for our table that's when the real experience began. I was not excepting a tour, but before they bring you down into the Catacombs for your dinner, they give you an entire tour and history of the building and tunnels that run beneath. It's really quite a sight to see and incredible that they turned it into a restaurant. The dining room is extremely unique vibe that has be experience first hand to fully describe. Now of course this is a restaurant so no matter how awesome and unique the dining "experience" is, the food obviously has to be good. I'm happy to report everything was delicious. I had the lamb lollipops and my fiancé had the lobster bisque for our appetizers. My lamb was great. Only negative thing I could say was that the portion was very small for the price. For our entrees I had the pork tomahawk. It was incredibly good. The meat was well cooked and not dry. The pineapple chutney really elevated it to the next level. Only negative I could say was that my green beans were a little undercooked. My fiancé very much enjoyed the salmon. Additionally, the two cocktails we ordered were very unique and tasty. Overall, I highly recommend this one of a kind dinner adventure down in the old catacombs. I know I'll be back sometime in the future.

    This restaurant was definitely an experience you have to try! Make a reservation online to secure a seat in the catacombs!!! There is also a restaurant and bar on the main level. I made a reservation about a month in advanced. The menu is listed online but the in person menu has some extra items that aren't online, to include desserts. Our waiter was very attentive and on top of it! We loved the cozy atmosphere in the catacombs. The food was great! Steak was cooked exactly how we wanted, mashed potatoes were good. They gave us green beans which weren't the best and we wished we had another option but overall it's a 10/10 experience!

    Baba bowl

    Baba plate - dip was delicious but nothing good to dip! Falafel was not edible, naan was burned, celery was so slimy I showed our waitress (who did nothing but tell the chef) and bleached baby carrots - gross! I will say my son loved the chicken fingers, fries were good and the mozzarella moons were good. Great atmosphere but staff only cared about socializing.

    Dress code....for both men and women?

    There isn't a particular dress code. The pub upstairs is causal. The Catacombs are a bit chillier being underground, expect mid to upper 50's. I would suggest pants and long sleeve if you aren't a fan of cooler atmosphere.

    Are there gluten free options within the entree menu ? It looks like a few items are naturally gluten free.

    Yes, they do

    We were staying in Lancaster and decided to check out the Catacombs at Bube's Brewery in Mount Joy which was about a 20 minute drive away.

    Stopped here on a whim because we were in the area and we are so glad we did! It's always a toss up…read morestopping at a brewery with kids (we have 3) and they were SO accommodating, even gave us kids cups for water! The bar staff/wait staff were very friendly. The atmosphere was nice and there is a huge back section outside with rocks that the kids were able to play in since no one was seated there. They have a covered patio as well as an open area closer to the bar- lots of outdoor space. The food took a little bit to come out but they were understaffed. The food was DELICIOUS! We had mild wings, pretzel sticks and the famous PB burger. Everything was fresh and hot and perfectly seasoned. I'll say these were the best wings I've had in PA! Great spot, we will be back for sure, I highly recommend stopping in!!

    First couple of times we went there, food was great, staff was great. The last time we went there,…read morethe staff wasn't friendly, spoke to Craig the owner he was very apologetic, we told him we would be back. We went there tonight 6/19, staff was friendly, however the bartender went out into the parking lot, we smelled weed, she came back in after my husband went out to get her, he got a growler to go, we get home and the cap wasn't on all the way and spiled most of it. The place has definitely gone down hill. We won't be back. You need better staffing and ones that aren't worried about having a great time out in the parking lot.
