    Pretty solid place. Kitchen looks to wrap up around 11pm to 12 am with normal draft, bottle beer…read moreand full bar available until 2am. Stopped there after work and was able to grab a chicken finger basket before the fryer shutdown for the night. Pretty decent and would like to stop for lunch sometime. Service can be a little slow in the evening with all the kids but that's probably normal.

    The only thing I can even say about the food is that I didn't try it -- and thank God for that,…read morebecause after what I went through, I wouldn't want to give them a single dime of business. Let me be absolutely clear: this place might as well hang a sign out front that says "Whites Only." The energy, the glares, the outright hostility -- all of it screams you're not welcome here. If you're Black, do yourself a favor and stay far, far away. From the moment I walked in, every face turned toward me like I had just crashed their family reunion -- the Brady Bunch and their extended Confederate cousins all rolled into one. The tension in that room was suffocating. Then came the so-called bartender -- a bitter, worn-down, nasty woman with the personality of a cold ashtray. She went out of her way to make me feel invisible and unwanted, acting like my presence alone ruined her day. She didn't serve with attitude; she served disrespect. And just when I thought the encounter couldn't possibly get worse, this miserable, wrinkled clown had the audacity to bark "Don't come back!" as I was leaving. That's fine -- trust me, I WON'T. But they need to know this: word travels fast, and people deserve to know exactly what kind of hateful establishment this is. -A Black Guy

    If Gary's Bar was in DC, it would be my favorite bar. We were in the area to see Iron Maiden and…read moreevery other bar around Hershey closes at midnight so off to Palmyra we went. The exterior of Gary's is unassuming to say the least and as we drove up, my friend in the back seat involuntarily muttered "What are we doing." However we started to feel the magic pretty quickly once we settled in at the bar. There was great local beer and cider on tap at Palmyra prices and a solid jukebox. "Dallas sucks" was stenciled/stickered onto the mirror behind the bar, which are words that a lifelong Giants fan can get behind.

    Growing up in town back when it was dry, Gary's Bar was known as the only bar in town. I never…read moreheard anything positive or negative either way, mostly because we were all too young to go in. 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.
