Small brewery's are common in Appalachia. Some have even turned into larger operations, over the…read moreyears. Names like Appalachian Beer Company and Lancaster Brewery come to mind. These places some excellent beer. But they also are restaurants. So, maybe beer is a draw in or the food at times. So with that, Drunk Monkey is a pure brewery. They make, sell, distribute, and promote their own product. As far as promoting, I am not sure they need to do much work as the product has really gotten some attention at the street level. I have seen the main beer showing up at local restaurants the last year. There has also been solid word of mouth. Some of their beers are even winning awards. So it didn't take much convincing from a coworker to get me there before our Nittany Lions came on. The brewery, itself, is a tiny place tucked into an old industrial park that use to be home to one of the largest textile mills in the country. Long abandoned, different smaller businesses now call the park home. One of the more sustained businesses is Fisher's bee farm. That brings us to the brewery. The owner of the bee farm decided to start a brewery near his business. Once finding the brewery, you notice that it is a whole in the wall kinda place. But once entering, the place is organized, clean, and the folks are extremely warm and friendly. Everything is clearly marked. Beer prices are payed out in a sheet on the wall. There is a merchandise rack clearly marked. There are cases clearly marked for type. You can tell this is a place where the people love and care about their beer. The lady manning the shop was knowledgable and friendly. She gave us a preview of the beers and described each one as we taste tested the taps. She then offered us a tour of the small brewery which we jumped on. This definitely plussed the experience and ultimately earned that fifth star. We learned that this particular young lady also hand labels, preps, and fills the bottles. So she does more than just look pretty selling the beer. Now for the beer. I really can't remember all the particular names of the beer. But I had a few favorites. In particular, the German wheat beer was fantastic. That is what I got my growler filled with. Some of the other beers that tasted great, Kraken and one named Mistress or something to that effect. Fittingly, the mistress had a tap handle in the shape of a ship figure head. Speaking of which, all the beers have nautical names based on the folklore of Captain Jack which many local landmarks are named. I have nothing negative to say about Drunk Monkey. They are in an obscure location. The place is small and doesn't look like much from the outside. But like most really great businesses, it is about the knowledge of the people behind the business. Drunk Monkey has plenty of that! If you are in the area on a Wednesday or Saturday, stop in for a taste.

I am so glad that I decided to dine at a brewery than a sit down restaurant because the fries at…read moreBack Porch just might be the best fries I've ever enjoyed. They have plenty of beers on tap today cover a variety of styles that I'm comfortable saying offers something for every taste. Hooray for peanut butter porter, their Liquid Lust Peanut Butter porter is above average as compared to other porters I've tasted. If you can't decide on a beer get a flight, you get four 4oz pours. $12 I enjoyed the fried goat cheese burger $16.95 with a side of fries. I initially asked for house made chips but on the bar keeps recommendation I went fries and glad I did as their fries are AMAZING. If you can't find street parking there is plenty of parking behind Back Porch which is free after 5. I will most definitely return next time travels being me to central PA.

With tables to sit at but lots others filled with people enjoying life, we could tell it was a place to be at. The service was with a smile, and quick and perfect. Food was delicious with good portions. The band was upbeat and wonderful. And the beer? We all had different ones and enjoyed them all! Best? We were lucky enough to meet the brewmaster, David. His enthusiasm and knowledge was amazing! Also lucky? Meeting Erin who shared the history of the beginnings of the brewery. What a grand evening. A place for locals, for sure, but also a welcoming venue to people newly stopping in. While I'm sure all the extras might not happen to everyone everyday who comes (or maybe it will), it is indicative of a place that knows how to make people welcome. I highly recommend GearHouse Brewing!

The place was hopping but there were several open tables and bar stools. We were a couple & despite having open picnic style tables the waitress yelled to the bartender/host that we could have a high top table or nothing. I'm am unable to sit at a high top. The waitress was SO RUDE we just decided to leave and give our money to another local establishment. I WAS really looking forward to this place and sadly the cold and rude treatment left me embarrassed and sad.

You have to order from the bar, but the place is set up like a restaurant and expects tips. The quantities of the food were excellent, but everything was very greasy. There wasn't anything on the menu that really jumped out. I think the restaurant has lots of potential, but it's going to have to figure out what they want to be.

Chic Fila vibes. Honestly table service would make more sense. Given this dynamic. The staff were all outstanding and the food came out very quickly. We had the fish and chips and the Korean tacos. The Korean tacos were flawless and very tasty. The fish was a bit too crispy. That is to say it was a very hard shell. The Cole slaw also had everything you needed for good Cole slaw but seasoning. We added salt and pepper but it needed a lot more. They had live music coming on, and we would have loved to stay for that. It is a nice little place to eat.

As I understand it is under new management and ownership but is being held down by old ratings. Please only pay attention to the new ratings. My experience started with the fact the place is very cute, quiet, romantic, and quaint. I really like the lights and the local postcards on the walls establishing a sense of place. I had the cheese steak which had some unique cheeses and other ingredients including horseradish aioli and peppers. It was a very tasty new take on a classic. Could use a bit more aioli and seasoning. But it was very good and the portion was huge. My wife had the soup of the day and enjoyed it. we also had a Ceasar salad.. and that is what it is. I LOVE them but you can't really rate such a standard. The service was amazing and the waitress and all other staff were completely on point. The food came out quick, and if I am in town again I WILL eat here again. I would love to try some of the dinner entrees.
