Service was excellent. Kendra did an amazing job. Richard was hilarious with the birthday song. Food was top notch. I'd definitely go back read more

Ordered a burger that was supposed to come with an onion ring and jalapeños on it. It had neither. The burger was still ok but the toppings were one of the reasons that I ordered it. Also the drink selection is pretty lame especially for a so called brewery. Our server Maddy was very nice and attentive which was a plus. read more

We drove from NJ for a two night getaway and for dinner at the Catacombs Restaurant. The atmosphere is truly unique. It started with a welcoming tour by Janae who was very friendly and had lots of information to share. She made us feel very welcome. Being in a cave with soft lighting is romantic! and Tristan the server was excellent--but, important message to the kitchen, PUT DOWN THE SALT SHAKER!!! We started with the crab stuffed mushrooms and they were so salty!!! There is no reason for that much salt (and I am someone who likes salty). I had the filet with blue cheese--it was OK, but overpriced. My husband enjoyed his seafood pasta. The beer was very good. But, by far the part that bothered me the most was how dirty it is where we were eating. You might say, it's in a cave!! of course it's going to be dirty. But that's not what I mean. Above us, the mini-split AC/Heat unit was filthy. I kept looking up and hoping it wouldn't turn on. And there was a terrible smell of old grease every where. Anyone who has ever worked in food services knows what I mean by that old grease smell of not fully cleaning the tables/ chairs/ floor around you. There is glass on top of the tables, but you still have to have clean tableclothes and they didn't seem fresh to me. After dinner, we thought we would go to the Biegarten for a drink. We asked if it was OK to go in just for a drink and while we were initially welcomed in by Janae, the atmosphere turned weirdly unfriendly once she left. We didn't know where to sit, tried to talk to the bartended but ended up just leaving. Would I suggest you visit? It depends on how strong your desire is for a unique dining experience. I read about the Catacombs and wanted to experience it. But I would only go back if I knew they improved the food and did a deep steam cleaning. read more

Bube's Brewery - Breweries Near Me - Mount Joy, Pennsylvania

The worst service. They advertise catacombs, but if you ask to dine there or look around, they keep saying there is a private party. Male host, older gentleman, will not even look at you,while giving an answer to the question. Nothing special. Nothing impressive. Will not come back. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I sent communication to Bube's Brewery on my experience and gave them 9 days to respond. They did not, so now I will let you all know that the Catacombs is NOT fine dining. It is overpriced and overcooked food with terrible service. Go somewhere else to eat if you are looking for fine dining because this is not it! Shame on them for not responding. read more

I'm going witn a 5 here'. BUT- you have to sit either outside (which we did) or in the catacombs . Outside was awesome, great music and good chill atmosphere. The Philly cheese steak is a 9/10. Catacombs has a lot of stairs fyi...but is cool. Anyways, food a+ and service a+. read more

What a great experience at Bube's Brewery! We made reservations for dinner in the catacombs, followed by a ghost tour of the building. The building is amazing, all by itself. It's funky, vintage oldness is something you can't replicate. The experience of being there is cool, all by itself. But then we went down to the dining room underground and were seated. It's pretty dark down there and we needed to use our phones to read the menu. The menu is small, but has lots of interesting items. We were a party of three. I started with meatballs and really enjoyed them. My husband had a soup that wasn't chili, but was kind of like chili and was delicious. Our friend had French Onion Soup, which she raved about. For my entrée, I had a New York Strip Steak. It was topped with frizzled leeks and dried tomatoes. On the side I had broccoli and mashed potatoes. My steak was a little underdone to my taste but it was of good flavor and quality. It was a little difficult to see our food in the dark, but we managed to get nice photos of it, which I will attach. My husband had Creole Shrimp with Crab, which was served over rice. He loved it. It looked delicious. Our friend had the Alfredo Penne Pasta, to which she added chicken. It was one of those bowls that despite eating a lot, it never seems to empty. She ended up taking a good deal of it home. We all foolishly ordered dessert. I had cheesecake, that could have used a little more of the fruit topping, but was deliciously made, just the tiniest bit tart (the way cheesecake should be!) and very creamy. Our friend had a spice cake with cream cheese frosting, which she loved. Our ghost tour was a lot of fun. It was the last one ever for the paranormal investigator who led it. We went all through the building and learned a good deal about the family. We ended in a ballroom, where a wedding had actually taken place earlier in the day. While talking about the room, the lights in one corner of the room kept turning on and off. Whether that was planned and human controlled, I don't know, but it was certainly amusing. read more

Went house hunting in Lancaster on Sunday and had to show my dad the awesomeness of this Brewery that withstood even the great depression, never closing since 1880! There were five brews to choose from that were made in the brewery on Sunday and I went with the Bestoke Pale Ale, very easy drinking brew that I would rate about a 6 out of 10 just not enough flavor. The place does offer an array of homemade cocktails and a very extensive list for mule drinks - the brewery makes homemade ginger beer so going with a mule (Vodka+Ginger Beer) in my opinion would be a safe bet. When I went to order the wings the waitress said they are not cooking fried wings only smoked due to the price of chicken going up. Yeah, I don't know I wanted to try them and they were above average with the Thai Chili sauce, the other half I got had Frank's mild sauce and I would not recommend. If you want Celery and a side of dipping sauce your looking at another $1.50 on top of the price per pound of wings. Coming to this brewery really is an experience and the free tour they give upon request for anyone is a must. If you come here with the right mindset that it is a fun time you are sure to enjoy yourself. Not sure when the next time I will be back to this place is but hey if you're looking for the Siamese Cat drawing they used to have hanging too late, a piece of the Catacombs now hangs on my wall : ) As always people SYOY!!! read more

Do you like dirt and dust? Are you a fan of bad service? Perhaps you don't want to cook the frozen food in your freezer and would rather pay for cooked frozen food....well than this is the place for you!!!! We drove out here with a party of 8 and asked for a seat in the bar area. The bar area was empty but only had tables of 4 set up. The hostesses seemed confused as to how they could ever accommodate a party of 8 in their dusty bar area. We suggested that we could do 2 tables next to each other and that seemed like a win! This place lives off of the catacomb seating. Fancier menu in a dark cave where the waiter tells you to put the lotion on the skin. It's weird and I don't get it. The bar area tries to follow the cave theme with allowing dust and dirt to settle on empty bottles that surround the bar area. If you take a moment to look around you realize you're about to eat a meal in the filthiest restaurant you have ever been to. How this place has ever past an inspection is mind blowing. Food time- we had the kids order food first because they were starving and if you have starving kids you feed those gremlins! My 9 year old got pasta and actually said "Mom, there is something wrong with my pasta"!!!! I could feed my kid uncooked pasta with red paint on it and he would think it was ok, yet somehow this place made my son think his pasta was bad!!! They deserve a reward for that. At this point we gave up. Adults didn't order, we slammed our average dusty beer, paid and walked out. The catacombs might be the spot to be, but the bar area should be set on fire! I believe there is a different menu for the fancy cave to eat in, so I can't comment on that but as for the dust bar - I would I go anywhere else. read more

You certainly come to Bube's for the tour and the unique ambiance of the catacombs restaurant, but my party and I also loved the food! I ordered the Alfredo penne pasta, which was plated beautifully and was creamy, cheesy, and full of veggies. I do think that the plates are quite pricey given the actual quality and serving size of each dish, but you're also paying for the opportunity to dine in this setting. The service was fantastic, no complaints there. The only struggle was that it is poorly lit. I had to be that person using flash photography to take these pictures, but it certainly encouraged me and my party to be off our phones (which shone obnoxiously even with a quick notification check) and be present with each other. read more

While visiting the area my wife and I made reservations to the Catacombs, which is a restaurant as part of Bubes Brewery. It is located in the basement of this grand 19th century building. We were greeted by a very well versed host who gave us a guided tour of the building and seated us at our table. At this point it was two thumbs up! The room felt a bit musty and the chairs and glassware felt sticky. Being forty feet underground we took it as part of the ambiance of such a unique setting. The lighting was very poor to the point the patrons were using their cell phones to read the menu and check their bill. Once again I rolled with it just as part of the dining experience. One of my pet peeves is waiting more than 5 minutes to be greeted by the wait staff. Please just stop by and say I will be with you in just a few minutes or something along those lines. When our waiter finally arrived we ordered one drink lemon for the water and our entrees at the same time. 45 minutes later the drink arrives, claiming they ran out of ice, once again please stop by and post us on the delay or make a different offering without ice...smh! By now the water is gone, had to ask for more and still no lemon...lol. The restaurant was my pick so now I'm apologizing to the wife and we are both laughing it off, hoping dinner will save the night. Dinner arrived shortly after the drink arrived. I had broiled scallops and she had a stuffed chicken breast. I'm thinking this will work out after all! Mine looked fine and one scallop in, my wife looks at me and asked if her suspicions were correct.... Yes the chicken was undercooked to the point it was raw in the center. A lot of meats can be undercooked but chicken was not one of them! It's now 9:30 pm we just want to go back to our hotel and call it a night. Now mind you she had never touched her drink, I had ate one scallop and her dinner was ruined. I am a passive person and never walked out on a meal in my life. Had some bad dinners but always found some good in them. I told the waiter we would just like to leave, he asked if I wanted a box for mine I said no that we just wanted to go home. The waiter returns with a bill for my dinner and the drink , the waiter actually pushed back when I said I didn't feel I should pay for anything and asked for the manager. He returned saying the manager had left and they removed my charges. We left both hungry, upset and disgusted! I'm sure the place is better than the one star review I have posted but for our dining experience one star is being gracious! read more

This is a must-do! The whole damn place was awesome. Our server, Kier, was great. Our table was pre-set with glasses filled before we sat down. Super romantic. Food was outstanding. My wife ordered the salad and NY strip and I ordered the lobster bisque and Pork tomahawk. We were blown away by the amount of lobster in the bisque and the size of her salad. We also got a couple Bellinis and the peanut butter cake. It's not cheap but worth every penny. If we lived in the area, we would most definitely be regulars. Dress nice and make reservations. Great job, Bube's! read more

Food was horrible and service from the host to the waitress to the bartender was unprofessional and offensive! We went to meet our son for dinner from college and could not have been more disappointed with our choice! The food was undercooked, tasted disgusting and I was not even approached as to why I had only taken one bite of my meal! The staff looked like they were dressed for Halloween when it was Easter Sunday and the bartender had the audacity to belch out loud as we were eating! Definitely not coming back here! What a shame, because at one time this place was a gem! read more

I cannot express how disappointed we were with our experience here today. From the second we walked in, something seemed off. First, there were very few people in the place, which wasn't too surprising, as it was Easter. However, the staff seemed dressed for Halloween. We started with a pretzel appetizer with Buffalo chicken dip. Well, the pretzel was undercooked and the chicken was clearly from a can. Then came our meals. The flatbread was cold, the pulled pork sandwich had an odd taste that was not able to be masked despite all the bbq sauce they dumped on it, and the cheesesteak was served on a stale roll with American cheese slices draped over the chipped steak! This may have been the worst $85 I've spent in my life! read more

Update.. Biergarten so relaxing and majestic. There salads are fresh & delicious. French fries are the BEST!!! French dip, wish it was on ciabatta roll instead. Meat was tender and flavorful. The roll they use now can't hold up. read more

My Fiance and I had been wanting to visit here since hearing about it through friends . After viewing the website we were thrilled to learn more about the history and it said we would receive a tour . The history for sure we thought would add to our experience. We had a two hour drive one way to visit . We secured a 8:50 pm reservation for a Friday night . We were not seated until 9:30 pm . Not a word was said to us by staff about the wait ect . Not one fact about the establishment was said on our walk to be seated . Dinner was average . The service was good . My fiancés steak wasn't cooked how he asked . For a $ 50 steak I expected more . This was a early Valentines dinner for us . Disappointed after being so excited to visit here and letting co-workers ect know of our bday plans they to where curious about the brewery . read more

Photos do not do this place justice! It is just too cool! The staff were all very accommodating and provided us with so much information on the history. The bar area is fun and has a lot of charm. The catacombs are very unique and romantic. They even gave us a tour with our catacombs reservation. The food was superb. I loved the lobster bisque and it had plenty of lobster in it. The risotto was very creamy and perfectly cooked. I was so impressed by this place, and cannot wait to come back! read more

I attended the Murder Mystery Dinner on 3-29-2025. It was good time and the meal was alright. My waitress dumped my meal onto my left and scalded it. I was surprised that they did not offer to comp the meal though. I don't think I will do it again. read more

Most of the food we were served was excessively over seasoned. As a result, we could not enjoy the food.

we had a terrible experience. even though we booked along with friends to have a room and dinner reservations, it still took over two hours for our food to arrive and it came cold so we didn't eat. the atmosphere was pretty cool. our room was small and hot and the bed was so uncomfortable. Will not go back! read more

We're from out of town but visit the area frequently to visit family. My parents have been to Bube's before so I've been dying to stop by! We were quickly seated for a Saturday night, I really wanted to sit downstairs but we had my niece and nephew with us so upstairs was the better choice for our party. We got our waters and drink orders in. We all tried mules and enjoyed them (Mexican and Hawaiian). None of the beers they offered seemed my type, except for maybe the Oktoberfest one. We all enjoyed our food! The burger was cooked perfectly, wasn't dry and had good flavor. My brother enjoyed the mac and cheese. My parents got the chicken sandwich and the Reuben and also were pleased with that. The only downside was our waitress didn't check back in until we finished our meal so we weren't able to order more drinks. I did the yelp check in and got a free dessert & it was delicious! Perfect peanut butter frosting paired with the chocolate cake. I definitely want to return with my husband and visit the catacombs downstairs & try that menu! Overall for a more unique restaurant and fun laid back vibe, I'd definitely recommend visiting! read more

First time, yeah, second time, meh. Great atmosphere and neat old building with the catacombs downstairs and a good bar and dining room upstairs. In the summer, the Biergarten is open and it's a very lovely setting with a life size chess board and plenty of seating among some nice landscaping. The French onion soup and burger were amazing the first time. Second time the chicken quesadilla was not so good...well, the chicken was not tender and didn't taste great. The rest was good. Service was a bit spotty outside in the Biergarten. Inside it was better, but a little on the slow side at times. All in all a good place and a nice restaurant I will visit again to try other menu items and drink more beer! read more

Bube's Brewery was overall an ok experience. We were excited to come here for my dads birthday, but it was very underwhelming. Lots of things were not available when we went. The food we did get was ok. I personally got wings and Mac n cheese with Buffalo chicken. It was just average, nothing I was excited eating, and I'm a huge foodie. The water tasted funny too. In the end, my dad wanted to get dessert, but we were informed nothing will be available until 15 minutes, I forgot their reason to this. Probably won't come back again. read more

I'm not even really sure where to begin. I truly was very excited for our murder mystery dinner at Bube's. I read the reviews and figured things would be good, but not great. I was sadly mistaken. The food for the murder mystery dinner was as follows: Course 1 - crostini/pesto spread/3 stale tortilla chips and terrible salsa Course 2 - iceberg lettuce a slice of cucumber and a disgusting "tomato vinaigrette" which tasted like tomato purée - I don't think there any oil/vinegar/balsamic anywhere in the dressing Course 3 - the worst of it all. "Roasted red pepper and sweet corn soup" - was served barely warm and tasted like tomato paste thinned out with water. There was zero flavor and I nearly gagged on the first bite. Course 4 - beef tips with some weird mustardy sauce. And what tasted like boiled chicken over a few noodles and some flavorless Alfredo sauce. Dessert - the only enjoyable part of the meal - chocolate cake with vanilla icing. Folks I don't write bad reviews unless I feel like it was a horrific experience. The acting and venue are very cool and unique. I'm not sure how they can even serve the dinner they serve for the murder mystery, it's basically inedible. Dinner and the show was $60 per person. You could easily serve even a medicore meal for that price... read more

The Catacombs are very unique to have dinner. The food was good but not great to support the expense. Overpriced? I say yes. Excellent service while we were there, especially when asking about the beers. Clearly, the atmosphere is what you are paying for. read more

Wish I could leave a review about the food, but sadly we couldn't try it. We waited 20 minutes sitting in a table in the middle of a restaurant full with employees passing next to us, and nobody stopped to even offer water or take our order. We just got up and left. The place looked good, that's the only positive I'll give them. read more

Need a new Real Chef! I wanted to share my disappointment eating at Bubes Brewery Valentine's Day. While the Catacomb is very romantic, the food was an expensive massive let down. The Crab cakes were barely a sliver of plain uncooked crab claw meat hiding sopping wet bland rice. Tossed bland extra large barely cooked bland green beans tossed haphazardly on my plate. My old fashioned blackberry tasteless adult beverage was also a miserable failure. Don't even get me started on my boyfriend's bland surf and turf! We did get decent little bowls of salad and French onion soup. If not for those sides I would have starved. For the first time in my life I could not eat my very expensive dinner. Thank god my boyfriend is an understanding compassionate person! He conquered his plate with a poker face! read more

Multiple "sections" within one facility, depending on what you enjoy. This review is strictly for "The Catacombs" dining option. It goes without saying that the biggest draw to The Catacombs is the ambience. It feels like you're dining in a secret wine cellar location. The mood is perfect and almost feels like something a Disney park would try to create. There's nothing really quite like in this part of Pennsylvania. The food is okay. Not bad, not great. If you took away the ambience, it's probably mid-level restaurant type fare. Based on the ambiance and the price, the meal felt like a letdown. It just didn't match the other components. If anything, it almost might be better to strictly focus on turning the section into a wine tasting room with tapas, flatbreads and charcuterie. It feels like that could be a better fit than offering average steaks and chops. Still, all things considered, it was a memorable experience and I'm happy to have experienced it. I would just recommend other options if you're primarily focused on the meal itself. read more

I called on April 6 to make a reservation for June 6 to eat in the catacombs as guests were coming out of town and when I called to make the reservation I verified they have a vegan menu because our 1 friend is vegan. When we arrived today I checked in and we were instructed to use the restrooms before going downstairs because there was no restroom in the catacombs. The four of us used the restrooms and when we came back to the hostess desk to be taken down stairs, we were taken into the bar area by another person. I questioned it right away and rudely was told our reservations were for the bar. I asked why we were told to use the restrooms before being taken downstairs etc and was told the other guy at the station didn't look before he spoke. I said so they have a vegan menu in the bar. He said no. I told him that this was not correct and explained what I just said above etc and again rudely was told the downstairs is full and it is what it is. We sat down to a nice waitress and she tried to give us vegan options but it wasn't an entree. We explained the situation to her and she tried to resolve the issue (more than what the other guy/girl did). She came back to apologize to us that she couldn't make it right and I was to call next week and ask for a manager. Regardless of what happens next week, this is completely unacceptable for a 2 month in advance reservation and the rudeness of the hostess who was more into himself than helping resolve the issue. As a manager myself, for an employee to give the instructions they did upon us arriving and the second employee to use the phrase it say it is what it is is completely unacceptable!! It was quite obvious to all of us that something for messed up with seating downstairs and we were just lucky guests that got screwed. read more

First time here with a large group of people. Seated in upper floor. Because of the age of the building it felt like the floor is moving which gives it a sense of vertigo. Careful floors are unleveled and hard to feel comfortable. Probably because of size of our group burgers and fries were cold. The checks were not delivered so when going downstairs and using the bathroom and asking to pay they wanted us go back up to get check. When asking the employee if they would go get it they refused. Five people stood around hostess station and I just waited, and waited, and waited, and waited. I counted nine workers and a chef just wandering around . Waiter then talking about customer. read more

I come here for the Biergarten for a relaxing drink outside under the shade trees. Some people come for the nightly entertainment like trivia and open mic but that's not my jam. The atmosphere is amazing indoors and out. The food and service can be hit or miss. Like all restaurants these days, staffing seems to be a real challenge. A lot of reviews on here that are bad. If you want to experience a totally unique aesthetic, history, and decent beers, it delivers. read more

The bar food was sub par. The grilled chicken sandwich was way over cooked and I had a hard time eating it. The Philly was also overcooked and too dry to eat. The staff was friendly but absent. This was the second time I tried this wonderful looking and historic building but it fell short again. Sadly I will not be returning to this establishment. read more

A must experience in the catacombs. If you're anywhere close go check this place out. Staff was awesome and super into the place they work. Wish I could have done one of the shows they put on and I'm not normally into that sort of dinner theater. Just overall a really interesting place that should be experienced. Only the food was the one let down. Just basic, nothing special, not a ton of flavor. But really, you're here for the space. Beer is good though and worth a try. read more

My friend came to PA and I wanted to do something special and different. We got the only reservation left at 9:20PM on Saturday night before Valentine's Day. We had great service and it's beautiful. My steak was undercooked and the sever took it right back to the kitchen... which by the way is stairs and stairs away from the catacombs! My heel got stuck in the stairs so many times! The little tour in the beginning was very cute. They took $20 off our bill for the steak which wasn't necessary, but very much appreciated. And I left my purse in the catacombs and some wonderful man very much out of breath got it to me in the parking lot. It was a wonderful experience for both of us, thank you to the employees for making it wonderful. And thank you for the rose! read more

My family and I visited this place while on a weekend getaway. I was personally excited because of the history of the building and the pictures I saw here on yelp. Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing and dissatisfying. We ordered the kids alfredo pasta - no flavor and the pasta was way over cooked. The tomato soup - it has a chunk of bread and cheese on top. It didn't even look like a tomato soup. Philly cheesesteak - ok, nothing amazing. Jersey Mikes is better Onion rings - the only good thing. The outside sitting was good but too many bugs and flies. Would not recommend this place unless you only go for drinks. read more

Not quite sure why ratings are not higher. My wife and I met with a couple of friends we hadn't seen in a while here and we participated in one of their murder mystery stories. The story was very fun, interactive, and funny as hell. My wife and I are both vegan, so we let our server know upon arrival. They could not have been more accommodating and had food made specially for us. The soup, lasagna and dessert were all amazing! We took a brief version of the grounds tour afterwards and now we are kicking ourselves that we didn't go with the full tour. The owner gave the tour and he is one of the most pleasant people you will ever meet. After all of this, my friends had an hour long drive so we figured they were going to leave, but we were all having such a great time that we decided to stay for a couple more drinks. It happened to be a 'halfway to Halloween' party so many people were dressed up. What a great concept! Definitely will be back. read more
