Be the first to review this somewhat hidden gem of a music venue and brewery? don't mind if I do!…read more Over my past couple of years of listening to them, Foxy Shazam has evolved into being a band that I really needed to see live. So when I saw that they were playing this random Millersville venue not all that far away I was instantly intrigued, and then I was even more sold when I saw that the venue also brewed their own beer. I also loved that it was a non-Ticket Master venue that used Eventbrite to sell tickets without an insane amount of hidden fees. And when I checked it out it was a hidden gem of a pleasant surprise. Unless you go to Millersville University, the area that the venue is at is one that you might not frequent. But Phantom Power is one of those few other reasons to visit since it delivers a fine assortment of local flavor events and national touring acts. Regular events include things like gothic/industrial dance parties, comedy nights, a Kegs and Eggs weekend brunch event, or just chilling in their outdoor beer garden on good weather days. I would absolutely go to things like these if Millersville was even closer! But on the flip side Phantom Power has also been seeing a good surge of national acts coming through thanks to WXPN taking notice for shows and them just being a fun and reliable space which I'll get to. In addition to Foxy Shazam I've seen big local names like Hop Along and mewithoutyou, indie acts like Delta Spirit and Sondre Lerche, Industrial and Punk bands like Front 242 and Reverend Horton Heat, and WTF WoW shows like Tim Cappello from Lost Boys (I still believe! - https://youtu.be/LpuwcINDHnQ) on their current and past lineup. It kind of reminds me of pleasantly filled memory venues of yesteryear like the Trocadero, only with a better beer list! Once we made our way through the lot to the venue we realized how big it is. Outside of their brunch event, they don't have a menu of their own, but I love the food truck connections they have and really wish I could remember the name of the BBQ truck that had those glorious smoked wings! The on-site brewed beer was as much of a hidden gem as the music venue since we enjoyed IPAs, stouts, pilsners, ESBs, and some other good varieties. The one suggestion I have is that, with a music venue of its caliber that also has a good beer list, it would be useful for them to have more sheld space to leave cups on during a jam-packed show like the one we were at, Foxy Shazam is one of those good energy rock bands that I would have enjoyed without good sound or lighting. But the fact that they had both in spades definitely helped. Now that I know this hidden gem is a success I'm checking their Facebook and Eventbrite pages (they don't actually seem to have their own site outside of those) for eye-catching shows, and you should do the same!

The place was laid off nicely with two levels. The have a bar on both levels. Very small bar food menu. This is not a restaurant. Snack type hot food only. The entertainment tonight I was surprised. They were actually very good. And when I read what they had on their calendar they had some stuff that interest me. Yes this place is geared towards a younger demographic. At least compared to my age..I recommend you check out the web site. They have a lot to offer.I was there for about three hours. I prepaid for my ticket. . It end up being a very inexpensive night of entertainment.

When the Chris Young tickets went on sale, I purchased six general admission tickets. Yesterday I…read moregot an email informing me that general admission is standing only with no seating. This should have been plainly disclosed when I purchased the tickets, not after the fact. My group is older and cannot stand for a long period of time. I posted the tickets for sale but given I had less than 24 hours' notice and most older people don't want to stand for hours, I'm not having much luck.

Cory is a wonderful human, and it truly shows in the atmosphere he's created. The space itself is inviting, interesting, and fun filled with unique items to explore, including some really cool historical pieces. The drinks are fantastic and thoughtfully curated, featuring local Pennsylvania brands across the board. The food was amazing and incredibly fairly priced. The Berry Bramble is a must-try (seriously, it's incredible), and I sampled a few other drinks that were just as good. If I lived closer, this would 100% be my Cheers bar. Anyone would be lucky to patron this place. Highly recommend

We ordered food from "The Smash Box" food truck from across the street. They hit it out of the park again!!! It also seems like the portion sizes are bigger this time. There was added decor on the walls and I am OBSESSED. They had live music tonight and it was sooo good. The owner also told me that in a few months he is moving into a bigger space in downtown York! I cannot wait to visit him once he's settled in.

The bar is a bit cramped at times but luckily they had a good amount of tables. During Happy Hour the day I was there (Saturday) the well drinks are $2.50 I couldn't believe it. The margarita was $7 all day and mine was nice and tasty. The clientele there could be a bit immature and annoying, I hope they're good at spotting fake IDs. there were a few chicks next to me and my girlfriend at the bar and they kept talking (yelling) to each other and discussing loudly about, some inappropriate things that a drinking college girl would discuss. The bartender was great, attentive and definitely knows how to make drinks. I couldn't speak on the food as I only got drinks but I was really regretting not ordering that $2 grilled cheese. I'd recommend this bar to anyone looking for cheap drinks or food in the area, especially if going to York College.

Front bar is good for sitting around with a few friends and talking while the back bar is for dancing. Biggest downfall-- Still allows SMOKING! Be prepared to set aside clothing you don't want to wear anywhere else outside the bar, because leaving Murph's you smell like a smokestack. Best quality-- You come to know everyone there on Saturday nights (And Wednesday's for 50 cent drafts, which if rumor is correct is now 75 cent drafts. Shame)

Extensive whiskey list, focused on Japanese whiskey but with a good assortment of others, too. We had the Kara-Age Chicken, Beef Gyoza, and Shio Edamame. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious.

Good price range for all budgets providing a great way to sample new offerings. Centrally located in Lancaster City, close to the Marriot/Convention Center and other area attractions which is a plus. We will definitely be back.

On a previous visit to Lancaster, a local bartender recommended Hi-Fi Izakaya, so we finally made…read moreit a point to check it out this past Saturday night. In a bustling part of the city, this spot definitely lived up to the recommendation! Since Hi-Fi Izakaya is a no-reservations restaurant, there was a wait, but the host was amazing! He was attentive, welcoming, and did everything he could to make the wait feel effortless. That kind of hospitality makes a difference. We grabbed drinks at the bar while waiting, and everything was great. A special shout-out to the gentleman assisting the bartenders who took care of my drink order throughout the wait. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure I was taken care of the entire time. Once seated, our waitress was fantastic! She explained the menu, offered suggestions, and helped us navigate the options. The food is served family-style, making it fun to try different dishes and share the experience. Everything we ordered was delicious, although be mindful that some dishes have smaller portions than you might expect. The standout of the night? The Wagyu Menchi meatballs! Definitely a hit and worth trying. The atmosphere was another big win. The music was on point, and the relaxed lounge vibe was exactly what I was looking for. It felt lively without being overwhelming, making it a great spot to enjoy cocktails, share some good food, and settle in for the evening. Between the outstanding hospitality, delicious food, great drinks, and perfect vibe, Hi-Fi Izakaya lived up to the local recommendation. Definitely a spot I'd revisit when I'm back in Lancaster! Yelp Elite takeaway: Trust the local bartender's recommendation! Come for the food, stay for the vibe, and don't skip those Wagyu Menchi meatballs!
