They have a great selection of big-name and craft brews available, and even a few wines by the glass or bottle. Everything is very inexpensive (like $2.75 for a beer, $9 for a pitcher level of inexpensive). For anyone stuck taking a class there for a week or two, this is a great place to gather with your classmates and network with those from other classes and public safety agencies. They have free popcorn available while you're drinking, and a few games to play (video/arcade and pool). Multiple TV options let you watch whatever sporting event is on at the time. The only important thing to know is that the food options they have are limited, and are various frozen/refrigerated options that you microwave yourself.

It's cool to get a cheap drink or shot, see the mine cave, listen to the music, and move on with your trip. Locals and travelers alike visit this establishment. It's not fancy and smells a bit musty but the clientele and pricing are great. I've been a patron here every time I'm in town for a few years now. It's a consistent experience every time, we are repeat customers. 21+ only NO KIDS. Pro tip: bar service & paying your check can be kinda slow because the bartenders get to talking - which is a bonus if you're on the receiving end of the talking.... but they get sidetracked often. Consider backing up your drink and paying cash up front. Anyway this is the reason it's knocked down a star, can get kinda frustrating when you just want a beer, sometimes it takes a while even if they aren't busy.

Reliance Mine was recommended to us by a family member and long time local. If you're looking for…read moreultimate dive bar vibes with a mine theme, this is the place to go. The bartenders, Jasmine and Derek, were straight to the point and friendly. Derek actually offered to make a specialty cocktail right as we sat down. Decent selection of local craft beer. Inexpensive drinks with fast service. Several of the other guests were not locals, but actually travelers that had deemed this place their go-to spot when staying in Gettysburg or passing through. No food menu, but you can bring your own or have food delivered. There is additional parking and entrance in the back off of Taneytown Road if the hotel parking is too full. Just the perfect cozy dive bar spot with a sweet fireplace and fun locals. Check it out!

First time at this hidden gem! Definitely a local staple- saw an advertisement for AYCE crabs and…read moreKaraoke and figured we would try it! It's a small place but the staff makes you feel like family! The drinks are on point- the food was great and we didn't feel like we weren't wanted! Now this is a family spot so you may see children there shooting pool better than the adults(me) but you have another side where you're able to sit back relax and enjoy the show(Karaoke if you're lucky). We came for the crabs and we weren't disappointed! They were DELICIOUS! So the AYCE came with several options as wings, shrimp, fries, corn (fresh local and I got the last piece) hush puppies. The wings have several flavors but could be cooked harder(my fault I didn't ask but will next time), the shrimp were nice sized and seasoned well, can't go wrong with fries and the hush puppies were tasty! This is a must try for anyone in the area looking to go somewhere with great food and conversation. Oh and forgot to mention we had Maddie as our server-she is the best! Sadly I didn't get the other ladies names which are great too but Maddie stood out to me. She handled that side we were on like a champ! She gave great recommendations on the drink choice plus she made us feel comfortable! Actually all the staff we encountered did however she was our go to all night! Most people ask about the bathrooms(didn't use them but I know there were one of each). This is a small but feel larger place because of the comfortable atmosphere! If you're in that area and want a drink, food or just company I feel this is where you should go! Sadly I didn't take any pictures as I was enjoying myself. Next time though! Karaoke is every Wednesday at 7! Hopefully I will see more people there but it gets crowded so be ready to love thy neighbor

I've visited a few times over the years and it has always been a good vibe. The customer service is good. It seems that many local and national emergency management personnel dine and socialize here after training at the local emergency management training facility around the corner. The bar table and walls are decorated with emergency management patches from visiting firefighters, officers, and government workers which is a sight to see. There are televisions showing games and you can also find your typical bar games like darts. A real come as you are and let your hair down pub.
