The gentleman that served me was sweet as pie! I very much enjoyed the fact that the staff seemed to have such a personal relationship with their regulars - talking about Easter plans and all that comes with it. That's what a neighborhood bar is all about - community. This will certainly be a stop of mine any time I'm heading out on 81. Bonus: ya get to tell your friends ya made it to 3rd base

Was on our way somewhere else and just happened upon Third Base and based on the sign alone, we had to give it a go. So glad that we did! The bartender was super friendly and told us the entire history of the building. You can tell this is a community bar and the regulars are treated like family. When we said it was our first time, they gave us free shots and let us sign the legendary ceiling (which isn't always the case at local bars where regulars are their focus). It was just so much fun, I can't wait to go back.

The drinks were good and cheap, between the 2 of us we had around 8 drinks & the tab was $25 or $30. Which is relatively good for 2 people, in my opinion. They dont serve food which is a bummer, i also didnt play pool but alot of people were. It is a tight space, so it gets crowded and loud fairly quickly.

I have been wavering on how to write this review for some time. Mostly because I have been…read moreinfighting with whether I liked this place or not. Was I seeing this place through my own beer goggles for the night. Let's just get into it. When we showed up in the area we had asked about what nightlife was like in the area. With it being in the middle of a cold streak we were told about several places in town that would fit the bill to have a night out. We made the rounds in town and then found ourselves here for the remainder of the night. I think what drew us here was that it looked like a dive from the outside and allowed smoking. There weren't many people in here for a majority of the night, so we kind of got to observe this place with the regulars in it. That really allows to see how the locals are in an area. It was interesting to say the least. Once the drinks started flowing we started to feel a little more comfortable in here. We started talking to the bartender to find out what was good to do besides the typical tourist stuff in the area. She was wonderful with suggestions, telling us about other watering holes in the vicinity and even beyond Gettysburg. We had inquired about LGBT friendly places within a short car ride and were basically told to go to Harrisburg or a small town in Maryland. At that point, that's when things started to get a little weird. After outing ourselves, things got a little uneasy for us. We ended up meeting the owner's grandson. He was great and seconded the suggestions the bartender made. But when he introduced us to the locals at the end of the bar, we kind of wanted to not say much. It actually made us feel unwelcomed after a bit of sitting near them. Kind of like all eyes were on us. After a few more minutes of that, we paid our bill and made it out the door. So the thing is that it's a great bar, if you're a local. Or maybe even if it's crowded, so there are other people to focus on. We liked everything, the freedom to smoke, the pricing, the bartender, but the atmosphere changed at some point and flipped the script. Would we go back? Maybe if it was nicer weather wise out, that would allow more people to be in here.

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!

On a recent visit home, a friend suggested we make a night of going and boy did we have a fun time! Gary's Bar at the same time feels old and unchanged, but modern and welcoming. The only issue some might have, is they allow smoking. We didn't really care: they have a great draft beer menu of almost all local stuff from the area, plus all the national macro brands. Prices are super cheap for how fresh everything is; glassware is also clean. They have a ton of special items too, like drinks, jello shots, etc. Along the back left wall is a bunch of packaged beer for to-go service. On the night we went, there was a genuinely great local band playing. Some people danced. They have a pool table too, which saw constant action. The bartenders were also super welcoming and attentive, despite being busy. If you're a fan of neighborhood dive bars that are secret great, this is worth checking out.
