A Unique Restaurant In Pennsylvania, Bube’s Brewery Will Give You An Unforgettable Dining Experience

Bube's Brewery has been a fixture in Mount Joy for longer than anyone can remember. Throughout the second half of the 19th century, breweries became increasingly popular in America. In 1876, a German immigrant named Alois Bube purchased the brewery he had been working at in Mount Joy, and Bube's Brewery was born. It has stood ever since, entertaining and enticing its visitors. Today, Bube's Brewery in Pennsylvania is chock full of not only unique brewed beer and delicious food, but fascinating history and a fun, spooky atmosphere.

Bube's Brewery is the only "lager era" brewery in the country that is in almost completely intact condition from before the Prohibition. It closed in 1920 and though it could not function as a brewery during the Prohibition, Alois Bube's family (he died in 1908) lived on the grounds until the late 1960s.

In 1968, restoration of Bube's Brewery began and it still continues today. The brewery reopened to the public in 2001, under the direction of its current owner, Sam Allen.

Bube's houses a microbrewery that produces a rotating selection of lagers. Bube's also invites guests to dine in one of four restaurants.The Biergarten (pictured above) is an outdoor drinking garden where you can enjoy lunch or dinner with one of Bube's brews. It's a great spot, but if it's a little too chilly, then move indoors. Here you have Alois Restaurant (named after the original owner), located in the Victorian-style hotel that Alois Bube built for guests. It displays the original wood bar and hand-stenciled walls. One of Bube's Brewery's most popular traditions are the murder mystery dinners that take place here.

Located right inside the Biergarten is the Bottling Works, where you can enjoy a meal inside the original bottling plant of Bube's Brewery. This is where the beers were originally bottled, and the water used to make them was drawn from underground limestone caverns. The most unique restaurant within Bube's lies underground...

The Catacombs Restaurant is perhaps Bube's most distinctive dining area. Less casual than its other restaurants, the Catacombs offers fine dining 43 feet below street level, in one of the breweries' old cellars. Chances are you won't forget your costumed waiter or waitress or the stone-lined walls of this unique space.

Beyond its four distinct restaurant areas, Bube's Brewery also is home to an art gallery, frequent weddings, and ghost tours! Check out the video below to see more footage of this awesome, historic complex. To learn more, visit the official website for Bube's Brewery in Pennsylvania.
