    We were in town for the Little League World Series and wanted to catch the games on TV while having a great dinner. Alyssa, our amazing waitress at John Ryan Brewery, made it happen by seating us in their unique downstairs tavern. The tomato salad was fresh and flavorful, the petite filet melted in my mouth, and the cheeseburger was next-level delicious. Fantastic service, awesome vibe, and incredible food--can't wait to come back!

    We've been here a few times- the drinks are good (beer is brewed in house!), the food is amazing (John is the chef) and the staff are so wonderful. Last time Andrew was our server and every drink and dish was perfectly timed so we didn't feel rushed. The Parisian gnocchi was amazing- I could have eaten multiple dishes of it. I'm not much of a cheesecake person but this limoncello one was divine. It's an old building and so much is original- it's a wonderful spot.

    This was our first time here after hearing nothing but rave reviews. It definitely lived up to our expectations! The space: a beautifully restored historic building with unique dining areas to choose from. We ate in the dining room on the main floor. We also explored upstairs and the tavern. We can't wait to go back and eat in the different rooms. The food: so incredibly tasty and different from everything else in the area. My bibimbap was delicious and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his pork. The fries and dessert were amazing as well. The beer: we both got flights and between the two of us tried everything they had on tap. There wasn't a single disappointment in the bunch. We particularly enjoyed the rye, märzen, and pear ale. The staff was all super friendly and made sure things were moving smoothly. It was my husband's birthday and they put a candle in his dessert and they all made sure to wish him a happy birthday. Since the menu changes every 8-9 weeks, we'll be sure to add this to our regular rotation.

    Fried quail with cornbread and collards

    I had the opportunity to stop over in Williamsport for a night. The first thing I did after hitting the hotel was to wander over to John Ryan hoping for a great meal. The food did not disappoint. The collard greens were delightfully seasoned. The cornbread was unlike any I've had before with a soufflé like texture. Delicious! The fried quail, while hard to eat, had a lovely crispy batter that broke into crunchy, savory pieces I could enjoy with each bite. The service was another matter. My server seemed distracted and uninterested compared to the server of the table next to me. I also don't need to be asked three times if it is just me dining. Yes, party of 1. I enjoyed the large patio and would definitely return next time in town.

    The food was absolutely incredible. Stacey, our server was a 10/10. Friendly, funny, made great recommendations and was just an added bonus to a great experience. My only regret is not ordering more food. We had appetizers, entrees and desserts and loved every bite. Every plate was clean. A must go to in Williamsport.

    Overall/ maybe worth stopping by again, but it'll be a tough sell to my husband, especially with…read moreother establishments in the area we know we like better, or would try. A kind of expensive stop for meh food and beer. Staff were amazing, so I feel slightly bad for a critical review. ---------------------------- Parking/ This started off the experience rocky for our vehicle. There seemed to be no specific parking dedicated to the brewery. There seemed to be a lot next door for the bank, but there was tons of signage saying it was for the bank, and others would be towed. There seemed to be street parking, but tons of signs saying no parking, loading zones, etc. After three trips around the block settled on the bank since it was Sunday. Had this been any other day, I could have seen us giving up and going elsewhere. Ambiance/ Very brewery-esque with tanks, natural vibes, etc. There was a live jazz trio playing who sounded lovely, but I just wasn't in the mood to try to talk over music, and asked to be moved further away. It seemed like the general feel, many were sat in main bar area, and asked to move back. Staff/ Every single staff member was super friendly, helpful, prompt, and trying to make your experience go well, so super shout out to the staff. Food/ We were stopping through the area around lunch time, so we didn't need anything crazy, but if you weren't getting breakfast or a burger, there wasn't much else. We both ordered a burger (All American and the breakfast/fried egg one). The All-American was good and I upgraded to fries. Breakfast burger was "good enough" I'm told. The chips that come with the burgers are just bagged kettles chips and not homemade. Beers/ We actually came in thinking we weren't going to drink, but were suckers for trying new things. Husband had an IPA and I had a fruited sour. Neither of us liked our beers, and I purposely made sure to drink mine before finishing my food so I didn't have to end with it. Price/ I don't know the area well but beers were $7-$8 for 10 oz pours. For two burgers, one with bagged chips and one with upgraded fries, and 2 not good beers, our bill was $50+. Which isn't terrible, but I could find better places to eat for that price point.

    High on the Frog…read more Locally-owned and operated brewery and brewpub that's been in operation for nearly forty (ca. 1986) years. They're located in the heart of Downtown Williamsport and bring their A game when it comes to food and brews. The Good: *Great location right across from the theater (we were there to see a graduation) *Friendly service *Small dog-friendly front patio *Live music *Sunday Brunch *Fried Pierogis were delicious and served up hot and fresh. I wish they were a little more seasoned, as the mashed potato filling needed more salt. But ain't that the way taters always is? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *Carissa loved her Korean BBQ Salmon Salad, as the fish was cooked perfectly and the house KBBQ sauce was delicious. *Huge draft list of housemade beers, ciders, and even sodas. *My Pittsburger was epic! Talk about a meal in one handful: burger, slaw, and fries all packed neatly between two soft pillowy buns made this a Man vs Food episode in the making. The Meh: *Free but limited street parking. There are several small lots adjacent but I'm not sure what their limitations are. The Ugly: *The place can fill up fast, especially if there's an event/show at the aforementioned theater. Conclusion: Great beer, ambiance, and food. Say less.

    We went twice in 24 hours. Drinks last night and lunch today. I cannot rave more about this place…read more Ambiance is awesome. Not cluttered. Curation of the atmosphere is was done with great care and attention. The bartender last night and waiter today; top notch. They were on top of everything. Friendly and sincere. No fake smiles. Genuine great service. The food; out of this world. The whipped feta is to die for. The salad was so fresh. Clam chowder delicious. The cocktails last night were perfect. Awesome balance in both drinks. Lavender mouse; delicious. I can't explain how lovely this place is. I loved every second of both visits. As a bartender; I'm very rarely blown away by an entire experience let alone two of them. I'm so happy we went both times. I can't wait to come back. Prices are also great. Totally fair and reasonable.

    We made reservations and easily found street parking out front and it was handicapped accessible…read more The waitress was incredibly sweet and accommodating, which I really appreciated. My main complaint is the pricing compared to what you actually get. The seared tuna salad came with only four slices of tuna, and the $15 nachos arrived in a bowl with so few toppings that they disappeared immediately, leaving us with basically a bowl of plain chips. That said, the atmosphere really is great. I'd probably go back, but only for drinks and maybe an appetizer that's a little harder to mess up.
