A family-run bar, Blue Room is the gem of Middletown, without question. Its neighbors north on Union get more attention, but I think Blue Room has better food and service. The seating options are plentiful. The main room has the wrap-around bar and tables. The back room has a number of tables for more intimate conversation. Then there's the outdoor patio seating, which is next to the cornhole area. All in all, a wide variety of options to fit any objective. If that doesn't pique your interest, you will get lost soaking in the history-themed decor, including an extensive family tree on the wall. There's also an oddly large portrait of Frank Sinatra's mugshot, but that's none of my business, if you know what I mean. Unlike other Middletown bars, this one is actually smoke-free, which is a huge plus in my book. And the prominently displayed dress code reminds gentlemen that the atmosphere might be relaxed, but that doesn't mean you can just wear a sleeveless shirt and expect to be served. It's hard to imagine a "classy" local bar, but Blue Room fits the bill to a T. As for food, I recommend the fire balls.

Sandy Arrives to Speed Tom's AT Finish: After Tom left to meet Sandy, I registered for a room at The Doyle, rebuilt after the 1903 fire. It was a fun place designed before air conditioning with lots of fresh air, especially on the giant second floor porch. It makes the ideal place to be "socially distanced," yet meet others. The steady rain much of the afternoon and evening, made perfect timing for a nero. The Doyle's owners, Vickey and Pat, sent me to the post office "just down the street. You can't miss it. There is a hiker box with good stuff." They also said to catch the free 4 p.m. shuttle from The Doyle to Mutzabaugh's Market for groceries. I walked completely through downtown Duncannon in the misty cold rain but couldn't find the post office and returned to the Doyle for new directions. Turned out that I passed it, just like when I step over trail barriers on the AT. Against my natural instincts I found the post office only a couple of blocks from the Doyle. Inside was a hiker box filled with stuff and especially energy bars. The lady said, "Take all you want, no one has been here in a long time. We need to get rid of them." She had even more bars in the back room to get rid of. I don't usually eat candy or power bars but took a dozen Whey Protein and Muscle Milk protein bars. Eating them only in emergencies, they lasted at least another month. Actually I ate the last ones eight months later, crumbly but still good! At 4 p.m. the convenient free shuttle took me to Mutzabaugh's Market, in town since 1920, for resupply. I filled my food bag and caught the quick shuttle back to The Doyle. At its perfectly maintained 120-year-old bar and restaurant, I ate a gourmet hamburger The Doyle was famous for. Then I read their library of history and trail yearbooks. The owners really loved their hikers and treated me like family. Their photo was in Odie's Hiker Yearbook. This hiker-favorite yearbook has photos and contacts for many of the section and thru-hikers I met on the AT. The Hiker Yearbook was so fun, I later bought two, one for 2019 and one for 2020! The hotel's old, creaking, wooden steps felt just like I was in an old cowboy movie. I wondered if famous hikers like Grandma Gatewood, Earl Shaffer, Baltimore Jack, or Ed Garvey had slept here. The bathroom had a real claw-legged antique bathtub! The Doyle's community shower was not so clean but had hot water to wash my body and clothes. After using my washcloth on me, I used it to clean the shower stall, giving me a nice long hot shower while "working." I hung my shower-washed clothes and damp supplies all over the room with clotheslines made from my food bag rope. My room was 100 years old but clean. After being cold and wet much of the day, the hot gas heater right next to my single bed dried out my stuff quickly and kept me toasty warm! I was up until about midnight packing and thinking about resupplies, trail plan changes, and how appreciative I was that Vickey and Pat kept The Doyle operating! It surprised me that some hikers, who have been sleeping in mice-infested shelters, weren't as enthused as I was. Many hikers want new motels, which is OK, but for me The Doyle was a highlight of the AT! It was a long, successful day! Duncannon was 1,149 miles from Springer Mountain.

Don't worry, you can get there. The golf course looks very nice. The clubhouse seems new and the restaurant is an open space with a snack bar and bar. Our group of six had several different dishes. Burgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders, etc. All of the prices are what you'd expect at a golf course place to eat. The menu isn't huge but the food was decent for the location and the price. They obviously cater to the golf crowd. There is outdoor seating available. Service was slow despite a relatively empty room. Definitely worth a stop if you are golfing and aren't in a rush. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there if I wasn't golfing.

While the building itself dates back to the late 1800s (originally serving as a farmhouse), it officially opened as an Inn in the early 1920s. It's seen a lot of lives--from a stagecoach stop to a residence with a caved-in ceiling--before being lovingly restored by current owners Tom and Sharon Roberts in the early 2000s. The rustic log walls and cozy fireplace give it a "ski resort" vibe that makes it perfect for a chilly Pennsylvania evening. The Inn leans heavily into its identity as a premier seafood and steak destination. Whether you're in the mood for an upscale dinner or a casual pub bite, there are three things you shouldn't overlook: Prime Rib: This is the undisputed heavy hitter. It's a weekend staple (typically available Friday and Saturday) and served in generous cuts that are consistently tender. If you're a fan of the "open-face" style, they even do a shaved prime rib version for lunch that hits the spot. Mussels: Often found on the appetizer list, their Sriracha Mussels are a standout for those who like a little kick. They come steamed with garlic, cream, and pickled lemon, offering a bright, zesty contrast to the richer meat dishes. The Seafood Selection: Beyond the mussels, the crab cakes are what put this place on the map for locals. They offer a "Pick 3" seafood platter after 4:00 PM, which is a great way to sample the lobster tails, scallops, and shrimp without having to make a difficult life choice.

The other seating by the window is cute, but the seats were hard so I'm glad we were able to snatch up the comfy sofa seats! The drink itself was delicious, and I'm glad more non-alcoholic venues are becoming available in the area. You will still pay cocktail prices, but the additions make it worth it. We will be back!
