    Fun, high energy divey bar with awesome drinks and good prices. Would definitely go back if in the area, the drinks are so varied and tasty! There are two sections to the bar with two very different vibes- the second bar wasn't open when we went but it would probably clear up congestion a bit

    Nice chalkboard bathroom

    I thought this place was cool. Everyone was nice. I am glad we stopped by. It's all Pennsylvania alcohol. My wife liked their cinnamon whisky. They have a bunch of yuenglings troegs and IC light. The atmosphere was cool. The owners opened it up to honor their sons memory. It's decorated with stuff from his life. Pretty cool. Would definitely go back. I wasn't sure if they had food or we might've tried it out sooner. They have steak tacos, pretzels and chips and salsa. We didn't try the food.

    Loved that the back bar had a handful of games around

    Super cute fun dive bar. The bartender & local crowd was friendly & welcoming. Drinks were great & was thrilled to find a whiskey/vodka flight!

    What a great welcoming environment, this place kicks ass. The owner and staff are welcoming and friendly. This is a great place with awesome vibes. Definitely worth a look.

    This place is very intimate & awesomely homey which completely achieves the owners goals of making a tribute to their son who passed very young. It's a tasting room of various house distilled spirits. Vodka is their expertise and I tried their hemp vodka, which I really enjoyed just on ice. They also serve a few local craft brews in cans or bottles. I would have loved to try a flight of their spirits but it's Sunday night. Godspeed! This seemed filled with a younger crowd and the bar is willing to give them a voice for musical endeavors. That's extremely refreshing around here

    Dead Lightning is no dead end if you are looking for a good selection of vodka. The spirits are sweeter- great straight or blended into the perfect cocktail. We were visiting from Washington state, and although we have many talented distillers west of the Rockies, this is one of our new favorites. If you are a fan of Fireball (or even if you are not) try the Cinnamon Whiskey. It is awesome!

    This is a great hidden place right on Bridge St. in New Cumberland. Amazing environment with the best made vodka and my favorite cinnamon whiskey.

    I typically drink their vodkas on the rocks, but they have an extensive selection of yummy drinks too.

    My husband and I went to Hidden Stills for a Sunday Happy Hour power hour!…read more We weren't incredibly hungry, but wanted to dabble in some nice appetizers. The appetizers were well worth the price and were served pretty quickly! I had the Ahi Tuna Nachos and my husband had the Kung Pao Brussel Sprouts. Both were delicious and the right amount for a heavy appetizer for a Sunday afternoon! To top it off, we also had some drink specials that included the Frosted Strawberry and draft Blue Moon. We topped off the afternoon with the recommended pineapple upside down cake and didn't turn back. It was decadent and the prefect size for two. The staff was pleasant, but I felt should have been more attentive for a sparse bar. The restaurant was unique in design and trendy, and had a nice flow of customers for a Sunday afternoon. All in all, would do again for the happy hour specials! Quality of food: 5/5 Service: 3.5/5 Overall cost and experience: 4.5/5

My wife got the same Chicken Salad sandwich again, it's still a winner, seafood chowder was satisfactory to good according to her, she took the balance back to our hotel & she had it in the morning as she had a early morning meeting & we had a microwave, she changed her opinion to great , saying it tasted even better in the morning I guess from it being dehydrated. Pretzel was great, I had a chicken pot pie which I though was ok, it was basically a chicken stew served with a puff pastry in there instead of the stew in a puff pastry, It tasted clean & light lacking body so I ordered a side of lime rice which worked for me. The star of this place is really their custom brews, I thigh think the food here is 4to 4 1/2 star but their brews make it a 5 star restaurant. Their birch beer & bourbon ginger are perfectly balanced flavor & refreshing & I also bought a bottle of their express Old Fashion to take home, 10/10 satisfaction. Even in you are not a alcohol consumer, the Location, atmosphere & quality of service coupled with good , clean food makes this a great restaurant. A definite must visit in Hershey.

    This is my all time, absolute favorite bar in Frederick. I almost wanted to refrain from saying…read morethat to avoid it getting too packed but this place definitely deserves the attention. I always make sure to stop by whenever I'm in Frederick. The ambiance is like a dim light basement, a clean and moody aesthetic with bar seating and couch seating. It does get loud in there and I think that's because the sound of everyone's voice just bounces against too many hard surfaces. Nonetheless it's super cozy and my favorite spot!! The drinks are all fantastic. They make their own organic distilled liquor and on top of that they away have seasonal drink selections. I go there wanting the same drink but also try something new and it never disappoints! They craft their cocktails with love and care and really put effort into a delicious well rounded cocktail. This is my go to spot for gin, I'm not even a gin drinker but I am now because their gin is amazingly smooth. I can't say enough great things!

It's a relaxed, welcoming spot and a perfect place to hang out for a bit. The staff was amazing, super friendly, and really knowledgeable about everything they offer. The tasting was great and gave a good feel for their lineup. I really liked that they use locally sourced ingredients across a variety of their spirits. You can tell there's a lot of care put into what they're producing. Definitely recommend stopping in. Afterward, head over to their bar next door and try a cocktail made with their spirits. It's absolutely worth it.

This locally owned and operated distillery rivals the products made by the large producers. We recently stopped by and sampled their moonshines and whiskeys and were very pleased with the quality of their product. Hazard's make four flavors of 40 proof moonshine: peach, root beer, apple pie, and blackberry. All these had a nice balance between flavor, consistency, and alcohol levels. Hazard's moonshines are not syrupy sweet like some and go down very easy. We enjoyed all the flavors, with the peach and blackberry being our top two favorites. The whiskeys produced are sea-salt caramel, standard corn whiskey, and Blowtorch. The sea-salt caramel was a hit and we left with a bottle of it also. The standard corn whiskey appears to be popular, but not really an alcohol I drink. The Blowtorch brought on a sense of nostalgia, because it reminds me of the fireballs and red hot candy that I enjoyed as a kid. The tasting room is nicely decorated and staffed with members of the Hazard Family, who were very friendly, and contributed to the enjoyable time we had during our visit. Overall, we were very pleased with the quality and flavor of the moonshines and whiskeys and plan to make this our go to stop. Take the short drive from the highway and you will not be disappointed!
