Music isn't the issue, it's other loud tables that drown out conversation. We love the music and atmosphere but it's a bit uncomfortable. For visitors - it's a theme/gimmick bar, a lot of fun. However, the food & drink is the real surprise here! It's absolutely phenomenal. Best smash burger I've ever had. Best fries. Best veggie sandwich. It's simple, yet top quality. The drinks - the shots - locked in my memory forever! Plus the music selection has always been on point for the theme. Best in the county. Overall - so why not 5 stars? This bar is a must. I want to spend more time there drinking and hanging out. It's just missing some comfort features that prevents that. It's a small space so business wise it makes sense. I'm a little selfish wanting to spend more time there, but with more personal seating options. Owner(s) Help make this a 5 star and hear me out! Far from a 3.8 rating. I would offer some type of help/investment if needed.

It's much more extensive than I expected for a bar. While the food isn't necessarily the star of the show, it's solid and pairs well with the drinks. We ordered the kimchi fries, which made for a great snack to share The cocktail menu is the real highlight. There are plenty of creative drinks with clever goth-inspired names, including the signature Death Mix. Whether you like something sweet, strong, or adventurous, there's a good chance you'll find something that catches your eye. It's the kind of menu that makes you want to come back and work your way through the rest Service was fantastic from start to finish. Everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere that matched the fun energy of the bar If you're in the area, this spot is absolutely worth checking out. Between the unique theme, creative cocktails, and great hospitality, it's a memorable experience that's a refreshing change from the usual neighborhood bar!

We made the journey to meet up with my cousin and his husband, who suggested this was a LGBTQ friendly place with comfortable seating for our visit. They open at 4 pm and we were waiting when the doors opened! What a gorgeous venue! Bright and light with colorful decor, I loved the feel here. Happy hour to boot, we claimed a nice modern seating group with several chairs and a sofa with coffee table and headed to the bar to order drinks. And four waters, as it was HOT outside. Two beers, a soda and a can of cider got us started, and after those were gone we decided to order food. Back to the bar for another round of drinks and an assortment of appetizers. French fries in a basket, a big soft pretzel, ten buffalo wings and an order of sweet heat totchos ($2 off for HH). Well that's not very healthy, but boy was it good! The wings were huge and I had trouble finishing them all. US Foods supplies their chicken wings and they are meaty and the preparation was excellent! My cousin loved his totchos, and the other guys consumed the pretzel and fries easily. I am ashamed to admit we didn't take a single photo, not of the food, drinks, our group or the beautiful venue. But we had such a blast and stayed a very long time I wanted to recognize them with a strong review. Bathrooms were clean, bartender was friendly and accommodating, and the air conditioning was cold.

But after witnessing some deeply inappropriate and offensive behavior from the owner, I can no longer in good conscience continue to support this establishment. The owner of Musser, Pat, initially seemed like an okay guy. However, that impression quickly changed when I began to notice troubling behavior. On one occasion, I watched and heard him making racially charged jokes. I come from a time when people didn't take offense easily, and even then, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt--after all, he didn't know me and I didn't know him. But things escalated. I was present as in right there when a UPS driver--an African American man--walked in, and Pat referred to him as "his chocolate UPS driver." That comment made me pause. Still, I tried to brush it off, thinking maybe I caught it out of context. However, another visit left no room for interpretation. An African American inspector walked in, and without hesitation, Pat called him "Jamaal." The man immediately corrected him, saying, "Hey man, that's not my name--my name is Keith. Call me by my name." The assumption, the stereotype, and the casualness of that moment were disturbing. Why is the owner of a local bar so comfortable addressing African Americans with whatever name or label he sees fit? It's not only disrespectful, it's unacceptable. I work hard. I spend my money to enjoy good food, cold beer, and quality time withmy friends. I choose to support businesses that reflect those values--and this is not one of them! I will never return to this establishment. What's most troubling is that this behavior appears to be ongoing and unaddressed! Lancaster has too many incredible spots that deserve our time, support, and dollars. This is not one of them.
