Casual, inviting space for visiting and good eats and drinks. Enjoyed a convivial evening having dinner and sipping local (Pennsylvania) wine. I had the salmon small plate. The salmon was just done in the center and a little crispy outside. Yum. Served with black rice and a squash slice perfectly cooked. My colleagues had the vegan risotto which was delicious and spicy. These Texas gals liked the heat, but caution to those who aren't sure. Service was attentive and so helpful. Our server brought us some wine samples to help us decide since we'd never had PA wine before. I'd go back and try other things for sure. In fact, I might. read more

This was the best meal we had during our stay. We came for brunch. They have a great vibe overall. The drinks are well made but the food is top notch. We had the breakfast bowl which is perfection in every way for a hearty meal. Highly recommend. We tried to come back, but they were closed on Mondays! Thanks for a great meal, service, drinks, and cup of joe! read more

Excellent craft mixed drinks. We sat at the bar and could tell they had special potions and flavors to make gourmet concoctions We went for brunch. As a gluten person I was sad to see that my choice was eggs or a wedge salad. So many yummy items on the menu but all w bread as a focal point and no gf bread option That being said my husband got a crazy good avocado toast. Over the top Presentation. I was so jealous. Also the service was terrific. We came to watch PennState game and they were very accommodating read more

Great find!! So happy we decided to eat here. Staff was so friendly and attentive. We sat outside thought inside was opened. But it was such a beautiful day, we ate outside and we had our dog. I ordered the refreshing mimosa and the breakfast binch. Amazing!! The breads crunch was a new experience for me. I was so surprised. Everyone should experience a crunchy brioche bun. Cheese was oozing and plenty of bacon piled on. I cut it into four pieces because it's that big. I reviewed the non brunch menu and everything sounds so delicious. I texted my cuz who lives in the area she must experience this spot. Glad we were able to end our PA trip with such a great experience!! Highly recommend!! read more

I wanted to like the place because the service was great, the building is cool, etc. the food- not so much. Heavy handed on what I think is parsley? I'm not sure exactly- we ordered a few apps, cheesesteak, some drinks. Nachos - not good. The flavors don't mesh. It had bacon, scallions, blue cheese, some sort of sweet sauce that was a bbq sauce consistency and maybe a few other ingredients I'm missing but it just didn't taste like any of those ingredients belonged together. Very odd dish. Mushroom toast was decent and cheesesteak was inedible. Bland. The best part of the entire meal were the french fries. The drinks were good too! As I mentioned, service was great from hostess to server. No complaints there. Unfortunately, won't be back for dinner. read more

Low key maybe high key really good food in Lanc Lanc. Stopped in late. Our waiter was the man. Food and drinks were special. It was fancy but also a fun bar to hang at after 9pm. Looking forward to coming back to try other local spots. read more

The menu is full of amazing food that come in large portions so you always get what you paid for. We started with the nachos and they were so delicious and big that we didn't need an entre for two of us. The service was fast and friendly and the restaurant has a great feeling with a great atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend for dinner/lunch/brunch or just drinks read more

Been here before and I enjoyed the food however last night was beyond disappointing. To start one of the pieces of homemade bread they brought out was ldough in the center. Literally uncooked stretchy dough! For our entrees we ordered the short rib, blue cheese salad wedge, and chicken pot pie. The short rib was the tiniest short rib I've ever seen....Maybe 3"x3". Good flavor but we were all shocked how small it was when the waitress brought it out! The pot pie didn't have much flavor and almost no chicken or vegetables in it. Just dough and potato's as shown in the pic. Salad wedge was good but that's the only positive thing I could say about the food. Cool place so a shame the food wasnt better. Leaving two stars because my previous visit was good. read more

This was my second time visiting Shot & Bottle. The first time we had a good experience with beer & cocktails, this time we had dinner for 7. It was the only place we could get a last-minute reservation on a Friday night for a party that large. It was pouring rain and the weather was miserable. We were seated right away and we had a window seat to watch the rain. Our server was attentive and efficient. I had a flat bread and we split an charcuterie board appetizer platter. Several of us had the gin cocktail which was delicious. We all enjoyed our food & would stop back in the future if we were in the area. read more

Shot and Bottle was across the street from our hotel, so the beau and I checked it out for dinner. The food was really good. I got the wedge salad and tomato soup and they were great. The Dutch fritters were really good too. If you're downtown, check out this great restaurant. read more

This restaurant was the perfect brunch place. It is located right next to central market and right in the square with the lively city and tourists looking around. The ambience of this place was very calm and aesthetically pleasing. The avocado toast was very delicious! I got the orange crush mimosa. I personally didn't like it much, the orange juice was more on the watery and sour side. Otherwise, it was picture perfect. Would highly recommend! read more

This place was prit-ty prit-ty prit-ty good. We started out with the bruschetta which was my favorite part. It was seriously amazing and unique. It made me look up copy cat recipes on yumly, which I could not find.) I got the "Midday Breakfast" which was duck egg, meatloaf w gravy, home fries (which was good but not amazing.) My mom got falafel burger w chips and it was great. My baby girl (daughter) got a wedge salad with which was good but I feel it's hard to mess up a salad. We liked the place and will go back, read more

came here with some girlfriends for drinks and dinner and had a lovely time! the server was very nice and quick. we got started with some drinks and then had some salads and i got the "steak and eggs" overall, everything was tasty! they were a little heavy on the salad dressings but other than that no complaints. read more

Not many vegan options, but they're willing to work with you. The black bean burger is delicious and has local bread. The fries are thick and Belgian style. The drinks are all Pennsylvania based and are made with care. I appreciate the focus on what's local and delicious. Even the hot sauce they offer is made locally. Kudos read more

My husband and I went here for New Year's Eve. We had a great experience. Love the vibe at this restaurant. We live in southwest Florida right now and we do not enjoy the culture. I'm originally from Lancaster and this was much more our style. We ordered the nachos for an app which I forgot to take a picture of but there are plenty on here already. I was worried they'd be too sweet but not even close. Really delicious and unique. The entrees we got were on their special menu for New Year's Eve. They were both delicious, high quality food. Highly recommend this restaurant. Their menu is always changing for the season so there's always something new to try. This is the second time I've been here. Both times it was delicious. Service was also good. No frills but attentive and got us what we needed when we needed it. Go here! read more

Came here for lunch before a show at Fulton theater. It was PACKED! Nice inside and outside seating. Not sure if they do reservations, but highly recommend one on a Sunday. We did have to sit at the bar which wasn't bad at all. Servers were all so friendly and quick. Four stars because the menu was unique, but almost too unique that it was hard to choose something. Very limited menu. Food was delicious though, not what we were expecting. read more

Came here for just a drink after dinner. The espresso martinis were a hit with the girls in a group. Bartender didn't look excited to make them, but put in a lot of love and care.. fishing out plumb espresso beans from a cup to decorate the tops with after dusting it with magic dust (I assume it to be magic dust based on how much the ladies enjoyed these). read more

Shot and bottle is a favorite brunch stop. Also great for a cocktail, and some tasteful food. The staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is relaxing and chill. I have been several times, and would love to go again. read more

Lunch was okay but nothing memorable. Very good portions. Location is good. Note for Seniors, must walk down quite a few stairs for the restrooms. read more

We had a great experience, walked in minutes before kitchen closed (didn't realize it closed at 930) but our server rushed our order in and had everything out in minutes, she was such a sweet person! The Caesar salad was perfection, and my bf had the chicken sandwich - delicious with mashed potato on top! The entire place has a very nice vibe and the drinks were unique. We were visiting so we learned they only have PA spirits which is common in Lancaster, so, no Ketel One, but enjoyed our cocktails nonetheless. Would LOVE to come back for brunch since the reviews for brunch dominate this place! read more

We planned a rehearsal dinner at this restaurant back at the end of October, and it was so great! Communicating with the team at the restaurant to plan it could not have been more smoother. They were so kind when I reached out to inquire and were more than happy to accommodate our party of 13. To be honest, we were having some trouble finding a place for our "smaller" rehearsal party because other restaurants were requiring us to pay a minimum to sit in their guest rooms. We were being told at these other places that these guest rooms were where parties of 12+ must be seated, even though we were just one extra person from that 12 count. But not Shot and Bottle! They were happy to treat us to seats in their main dining area. Our waitstaff was so wonderful, and the food was delicious! Our group even had a fun time trying their pickle-flavored cocktail We're so grateful that we kicked off our wedding weekend at such a wonderful place! read more

We met another couple for brunch here during restaurant week. My fiancé misread the times they were offering the special menu, but still found plenty of yummy, creative entrees. We shared the Biscuit N Gravy, Ain't Afraid a No Toast, The Breakfast Club, Mac Daddy, and Fried Doughnuts. They were all good but the Mac Daddy, macaroni and cheese cooked in a waffle press with this zesty chili sauce on top was really special. David provided us with stellar service. We sampled a few of the local beers and his recommendation of the stout from Collusion paired great with our meals. I would agree with the other reviews that there are too many hard services in there and it is very loud! read more

Craft beer and local spirits are the draw to this hot spot. The mixologist are serving first class cocktails but you shouldn't pass up the food. Fun and innovative items along with personal spin on usual pub fare. The Manhattans and Moscow Mules were perfect and we shared the Dutch Fritters. Pictured is the Crispy Duck Leg over polenta and my companion had the Cheesesteak. I highly recommend and would definitely like to return to explore the drink and food menus further. read more

If you are staying in the Marriott Penn Station, this is your place. It has great food, great service, AND sells liquor. In PA, selling liquor is a specialty when you own a distillery. They do. Also the top notch bourbon is awesome! All the dinner choices were great, and service was top notch. Try it, you'll like it! read more

Shot and Bottle was cool classy vibe with excellent drinks. The pickle Rick martini was nuanced and delicious if you are a pickle juice fan. The food was a overall decent. The bruschetta was hearty and fresh (it was made with squash instead of tomatoes). The Buffalo fries were phenomenal. The Vermont nachos were not great. The chips were mid and the nachos barely had any cheese and too much maple syrup! However overall nice place would come again. read more

Shot and Bottle was the very first restaurant we got to try in-person since the pandemic took over the world. We arrived to a long weekend in Lancaster in the late afternoon, and we needed a snack to tide us over until dinner. Shot and Bottle looked cute and we were able to snag a table before their dinner reservations were scheduled. Our server was great and we had everything we needed. We had a round of cocktails and a round of beers, while sharing the Italian flatbread. It was a nice experience and I'd be down to revisit if we were in the area again. read more

Overall satisfied with my first visit. Our server was up beat, friendly, conversational and provided great customer service. All of the cocktails and menu items sounded delicious. A small craft beer selection, but I understand why, the focus isn't the beer. Very happy with my choice. Gin is my favorite and this concoction was delightful. Perfect on a humid evening out. The ginger, lime, cucumber and basil were nicely complimented by the sweetness of the berries. I took a sip of my friends drink, Lady Finch, which was equally tasteful. I'm not a vodka drinker, but I'd drink more than one of those. I've never had nachos made with blue cheese and maple syrup - yum! Why haven't I thought of that before! I do think more blue cheese should be added, like under the top layer of chips, but still tasty. The fritters were nicely fried and served on a mustard type paste. I would have liked more of the aioli sauce. The acoustics aren't the best, it's loud and you have to raise your voice, but I like the aesthetics of the place. Not like this is the only place in Lancaster that has sound issues. I will return! read more

Shot and bottle is one of our go to restaurants in Lancaster. Not only is the location and view of the Square stunning, the staff, food, and drinks never miss. They can get busy and if you don't have a reservation you might not be able to get a table, but you can usually snag seating at the bar, which is full menu. We generally stick to our go-to drinks, but the menu is seasonal. So sometimes you get to try new things! If they have their mussels in marinara, order that for sure. The current short rib flat bread is one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. Get it now! read more

Horrible experience. Actually, worst we have ever had. They definitely need to majorly improve customer service. Came for a birthday dinner a husband, wife and 3 daughters on a busy Saturday night. When attempting to make space for entrees ( as the appetizers were never cleared) cheese from the pretzel board fell to the floor. Bus boy approached and accused us of "throwing cheese at him" and told us "an apology would go a long way". The waitress dealt with the situation by taking the pretzel off our bill. We asked for the manager who said " yes, the cheese container does slide off the board very easy." Nobody seemed to understand how insulting and totally messed up it was to be accused of throwing cheese sauce at a busboy and then being told by him to apologize. Will never go back. They absolutely ruined a birthday dinner which they should have known as it was marked that way in resy. Having worked in the restaurant industry for decades they totally and completely failed. read more

I think that the food was delicious, and the service was great. The only think that I have to say is that my food was cold when I received it. The menu is also not kid friendly. read more

Not sure what happened here last night. Went to this place last year and really liked it. Cool vibe, good drinks, and food. Last night walked in and stood at hostess stand for a few minutes. No one acknowledged us even though the people working here saw us. Finally approached the bar and asked if someone could help us. The place was eerily quiet with very few staff. The food was not good. Soup came out cold and tasting like baby food. Salmon taco special tasted like they put the salmon on special because the salmon was old and needed to be moved. French fries had potential but just weren't good. Drinks were good. Waitress was friendly, but really disappointed after having such a great experience here last summer. read more

I use to love this place. I came for the social part of the bar and the drinks are always so good. But tonight was the worst. Every server is on their phone or eating at the bar. Didn't wash their hands before returning to the floor. Our first bartender was on point. The second Bartender was flustered, I get it. I have served industry for years. Forgot my entree and never asked how everything was. I think I'm more annoyed about the staff hanging out everywhere else but where it was the busiest. Huge bar needs more support. Food is great, manager is a dumbass for not taking more control of the staff. read more

Yummy, creative cocktails. Unique dishes. Really ample (and cool!) indoor ambience but also really lovely, town-center style outdoor eating. Will be back! read more

Cool atmosphere decent service and drinks. The entire menu is sugary tasting and overly sweet. From fries to steak, sweet.

One of my favorite restaurants in Lancaster! The restaurant uses fresh ingredients and changes the menu seasonally. My favorite cocktails are the Lady Finch and the Gin Fizz. All of their spirits are local which is super cool! I love seeing businesses support each other. The inside of the restaurant has plants everywhere and a ton of windows which really opens up the space. The bar is a full rectangle and has a ton of seating. The bartenders will make you a unique concoction if you request it as well. I'm obsessed! read more
