Visiting Carlisle for an overnight work trip, Molly Pitcher Brewing was a great place to pop by before dinner. (Though, they also serve food.) When I walked in on a Wednesday in Apri, the bar was full and several groups were dining at the tables. Despite the flow of people, I got a table right away and service was efficient. Wanting only a beer, I ordered the Fuzz Berries (saison). It was refreshing- not too sweet or too sour. read more

Good: Food was decent. Beer (IPAs) were good and selections were in par with a much larger establishment. Bad: Lack of parking, especially for mobility restricted people. Staff that greeted us at the door had a lot to be said for (rude; not friendly or welcoming). read more

Limited menu and service is hit or miss. Not many options on Sundays in Carlisle so we often end up here. Fries are good, sandwiches are just okay. Could do with some salads or something that feels fresher and more interesting. Everything is average, nothing awful, just not remarkable. read more

I loved the beer, and the bartender was very knowledgeable about them. He recommended a couple of them based on my tastes and he did not steer me wrong. Food was also excellent, I really enjoyed the BLT and the house made smoky ketchup that came with the fries. Only downside: kitchen was in the weeds and it took over 30 minutes for my food order. Will definitely come back when I have a little more time. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. Let's start with the inviting and invigorating service. Garrett and Carter were so fun and very informative. We felt valued in this space, and I appreciated that. The space is great for large or small groups. There's indoor and outdoor seating. We went late night on the 4th of July so food wasn't an option. However, to my surprise they make their own seltzers. I love me a good seltzer. That white peace seltzer is delicious and refreshing. The raspberry iced tea seltzer was quite refreshing as well. I can't wait to go back!!! read more

We loved every moment here. We came on Labor Day, and thankfully, they were open. The wait was short, and we were promptly seated inside, where the AC was nice and the space was very open. My Cuban sandwich with coleslaw was fantastic, with the bread toasted just right, making each bite satisfying. My girlfriend's chicken sandwich had an onion mayo and roasted peppers that took it over the top. This was definitely one of the highlight spots to enjoy in Carlisle. read more

We didn't eat, but the food menu looked good. We had two tasty IPAs, and enjoyed sitting at the bar. Friendly bartender, fun decor, and a beautiful renovation of a High Street location. read more

Molly Pitcher Brewing - Beer - Burgers Near Me - Carlisle, Pennsylvania

My two favorite beers on tap were "Black Powder Stout," very smooth with dark chocolate flavors and "Peanut Butter Porter," creamy and sweet with some peanut butter and hazelnut taste/smell. Food is really good, you must try their "Molly Tots" their charred-onion cream sauce and smoked-chili ketchup sauce are so good! The Bacon Burger is another great option, well cooked and a big portion of fries. Great atmosphere and good customer service. read more

This full service restaurant and brewery is a great addition to downtown Carlisle which otherwise features mostly smaller boutique shops and restaurants based on the few times I've been there. We went on a holiday and they were open at 11 and serving a full menu. I had a BBQ pork sandwich and the Cuban also looked phenomenal. Both the bread and pork were very fresh, and the service was extremely friendly. Hope to make it back next time with enough time to try a beer too ! read more

I don't drink beer, so I won't opine on that here, but the Cuban was sooooo good that I had to comment. And the fries with their smokey dry seasoning .... AMAZING with their house made ketchup. Great service, chill vibe, and everyone was super friendly. read more

Good food and interesting flavors of beer. Only issue I had was I am a black man with a white girlfriend. My friends I ate with were two girls who were a white lesbian couple and then my roommate and his girlfriend who were both white. Somehow our waitress gives all The couples at the table single checks, but when it came to me and my girlfriend she gave us separate checks. Now some people would be like that's an honest mistake but I've experienced enough bs to know that wasn't on accident. It was clear we were a couple and our lady server just made it a point to give us two separate checks. I don't condone that so this wont be a great review. You don't print out single checks for two couples and not mine. It's 2025 if you're going to be racist you dont have a place in society. read more

Great food, solid brews, and awesome people. We had a fair share of grub and shared some flights of beer. Juicy double burgers on brioche - bbq bacon is solid with thick cut Smokey bacon. The grilled wings were juicy and fried wings done just right. The crown jewel: the chicken sandwich. It's top on my list of best chicken sandwiches. Smooth NEIPAs, crisp pilsners, lagers, stouts - they do it all. Even have their own seltzer! Inside is a hopping bar well lit bar with music ranging from Johnny Cash to the Misfits. Expect a large beautiful wood bar (with convenient purse hooks), high tops, low tops, and a shaded patio. We were there on a gorgeous day when they had these doors the length of the back open that led to the patio. A gem in Carlisle that has been around for years, but gets looked over. Go enjoy yourself like we did. read more

I had the grilled wings and they were a great size and had an excellent flavor. The flavor was amazing and the all the beers had an uniq taste. I would 100% come back here. read more

Solid food, drinks, and service. Was there with some friends who are regulars, so ymmv. It's an easy casual place that feels like a hole in the wall but is actually quite busy for its location and footprint. If you're in the area, I don't think you can go wrong giving it a try. read more

Beer and food are solid with rotating specials. Very busy at times which is cool, but the service is hit or miss. I think they get stressed when it gets busy, which is cool until they make you feel stressed. read more

Went here on a Friday evening about 4oclock it was prime time to go, not busy at all. It is located in intown Carlisle, so parking could be hard. We, however, did not have an issue finding a spot. We decided to sit outside, and when I said we had the best server, that isn't an understatement. We had Garrett he was full of energy and the sweetest person and great server. I decided on the Tom Collins for $12, my boyfriend got the sample flight of 3 for $6, and my brother got 4 samplers for $10. We got a side of pretzel logs with beer cheese for $6. It came with three pretzel logs and beer cheese. The pretzels were good. However, the beer cheese was a little grainy. I would have liked it to be a lot smoother. However, it still had a good taste. read more

We really liked the beer, selection on draft especially. Re food, a step up from pub fare. Loved the burger, but the chicken sandwich was super delicious! read more

This place has some of the best beer I have ever tried. Got the ghost ipa and it was delicious. The sour is really good too. Usually I don't like sours because that tartness sits on your tongue too long. This one was subtle and really flavorful. Got the nachos as an app and they were loaded. Beautiful historic building. Friendly staff. 10/10! Only negative is they didn't have the ghost ipa in cans to go. Maybe next time. read more

Service was Stellar! Food was delicious! Beers were Cold... best meal in three day visiting Carlisle.

Everything about this establishment was very nice. Vegan options and stellar beers for the win.

From ambience to service to food - we had an incredible dinner in Carlisle. The beer and bartender-flavored cider were delicious. If you like tuna, get the special tuna salad! You will love your experience. Great for families and for a date night. read more

I got what I didn't expect. First, this is a super close walk to Dickinson, 5 minutes from east campus. The food is delicious. Great I tell you. Surprisingly well done! Wings and their take on tits were excellent!! Outstanding! The beers were ok (to me). I couldn't find one I truly enjoyed more than half a pour. Also a very limited non-beer selection. However, if my beer palate was robust I'm certain I'd be able to find a libation I'd enjoy more. Quiet for a Friday evening but the servers seems attentive. Overall, I'd go back for the food, not the beer place for me. read more

Hello, A professional colleague and I visited today. My colleague had just arrived from Germany and wanted to try a local beer. When we entered the building, there was a bartender who looked over at us, but kept us waiting for a short while. The place was mostly empty. When he came over, he asked is we wanted to sit at the bar. My colleague stated that he'd prefer a table. The man gave us two menus and walked away. We turned to each other in befuddlement and assumed it was open seating. We sat down at a nearby table. After about five minutes, the man came to the table and said that he had told us to go to table 11. I informed him that we hadn't heard that and because he had so abruptly walked away, we had assumed it was open seating. I said we would move to table 11, but as we had already seated ourselves and the place was mostly empty, we asked if we could just stay where we were. Much to our surprise, he quipped to say that we could stay as long as we don't cause trouble. We thought he was joking and we laughed, at which he said that he wasn't going to put up with our attitudes and that we should leave. We quietly left. We are two professionals in our 50s who simply wanted to try a local microbrew. We were not loud, abusive or in any way bothersome. We were shocked. Molly Pitcher is known for rude service, but I have never experience anything quite like this. At 4:30pm on a quite Sunday afternoon, I am thrown out of a bar (or any establishment) for the first time in my life. read more

My wife and I came here on a Friday night, we are Carlisle locals. Our waitress was actually very nice. The room is way too loud with little/no acoustical care. The grilled wings I ordered were pretty good, but her burger was a disappointment (you can tell a lot about a place by their burger). Prices are out of line, way overpriced. If you read some of the recent reviews below you'll get a better picture of this establishment and their reputation within the Carlisle community. read more

The indoor restaurant was full at dinner time on a Thursday but I was able to get a seat at the bar. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The beers were good and I enjoyed the Patriot and the iIndependence brews. The bacon cheese burger looked amazing. I ordered the pretzel sticks and dipping cheese. They were super fresh and a great pairing to the beer. I don't recommend the dipping cheese much. It didn't have much flavor and the consistency seemed off. I enjoyed the atmosphere at the bar. The trivia cards helped to pass the time. A truly enjoyable evening with friends. I plan to visit again soon. read more

The fact that they recently added cocktails (i.e., more options for this gluten-free diner) seals the deal for a five-star rating. I have never had a sub-par experience here with the food, drinks, or staff. Trivia on Sundays is PACKED, so be ready for an extremely loud environment and hit-or-miss topics, but overall it's a fun and excellent-quality place. read more

As a Artilleryman Molly Pitcher is an important figure in our history, so I was pumped to try this place especially with a fellow group of Artilleryman and spouses (Many of which have the Honorable Order of Molly Pitcher) Let's just say we never even ate or ordered because the service and attitude of the manager was that rude. We came in with a larger group 10+ and they said "fine...but you can't all sit together because we aren't moving tables." We relented and said we'd sit outside. A couple of us went to move chairs to another table just so we could talk before food came and the manager comes out there and yells at us saying "I told you all you could move tables together." I may go back and give it another try...probably not though. read more

We had a work group of 11 and we asked to sit outside. They informed us that we cannot move the tables and the tables needed to stay in place. We agreed we would not move the tables. We decided to move some chairs and squeeze together so we could all talk. A lady with short brown hair saw us move the chairs and ran over and took the chair out of one of my coworkers hands and yelled saying the chairs had to also stay in place. She was very rude to us so we decided to leave. We had ordered appetizers just two minutes earlier and asked to cancel the order so we could leave. She refused to take the orders off the menu. We didn't argue, we paid and left This was a work function paid by our company and we were blown away by the lack of customer service. I would not recommend this place at all. Good new though, we went to Whiskey Rebellion and they treated us amazing. 10 out 10 recommend Whisky Rebellion. read more

"Thee" worst customer service experience I have ever witnessed and was a part of in my entire life. We had an Army War College get together at this establishment; and we were run out. We were accused of being "entitled" by the manager's associate, Garrett. The manager has no integrity nor any appreciation nor any situational awareness of what it means to communicate effectively. Very sad. Not a military friendly or supportive establishment. read more

Beer selection is great and the ambiance for friends and family is great but the food was just ok.

The good: - Friendly service - Tasty beer - cool atmosphere What could be improved - my sampling of the food was not great Arrived on a busy evening, it I was told I could take one of the few open seats at the bar. Service was friendly and quick. Had a sample of beers. All tasty. For a snack I tried the pretzel bites that had a cinnamon sugar coating and came with a frosting dipping sauce....the pretzel bites were warm, but rock hard with little taste. Not sure what the dipping sauce was, it sure didn't taste like a frosting glaze...disappointing. I was able to get a couple cans of their tasty beer to go. Not all their beer was available in cans. I'd easily stop back for a beer. Might give their food another try. read more

I'm glad they are able to operate during COVID. The tables are well spaced. I felt comfortable and this was my first time eating indoors since last year. The people were very friendly. They have their own beer as well as Diet Coke. We had pretzel bites, wings, nachos, and the BLT. Everything was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place which is in walking distance of Dickinson College. We didn't have a reservation and were able to be seated. There is an outdoor area in the back but it wasn't open yet. read more

At Molly Pitcher, I witnessed a war college group be told to leave the outside seating area with no other patrons, for no clear reason. The group was not disruptive. The manager's associate Garrett advised the group that he was from Carlisle and tired of "entitled" patrons from outside the area. The manager was also confrontational. I was embarrassed to be from Central Pa. We are better than this. read more

This brewery was packed on a Friday night in downtown Carlisle! I met some friends for dinner. We all enjoyed the food options as some of us are picky or do not drink alcohol. I recommend the homemade tots as an appetizer! They shred the potatoes and fry them fresh. The plates come out as they are ready, so they are hot and no waiting for all the plates to be ready and get cold. read more

I have no idea how the food is because the bartender was so nasty we left and we don't intend to ever go back.
