Iron Hill Hershey

Limited parking on the street right in front. Long bar on left toward the back. Nice upscale bar atmosphere. The beers on the chalk boards don’t match the more up to date printed beer list. Service was average. The beers are average at best.

We came here on 26.1.2019. Located next to the Hershey Chocolate Museum in the center of Hershey, this is the newest Iron Hill location. Plenty of parking available on the backside. Was packed on a Saturday afternoon. Luckily we found seats at the long bar. Very large restaurant, several rooms with nice large paintings/photos. Around 20 beers on tap - predominantly West Coast IPA‘s and Stouts. Beer selection could definitely improve. Taste of beers is mediocre, nothing special. Food was really good. Overall, as expected, a very commercial place: food definitely better than beers and solid service.

Ambiance: Brand new brewpub in downtown Hershey, in a newly (re)developing area. Inside is typical modern semi-upscale brewpub. Large space, pretty packed on a Saturday early afternoon. Service: Competent and friendly, what more can you ask for? Selection: About 15 taps, all their own stuff. Tried 9 different beers over the course of the afternoon, and only one of them wasn't at least good; most were very good to excellent. In fact, surprisingly good for a chain brewpub. Gordon Biersch this is not. Food: Typical semi-upscale brewpub fare. Everything was good. The ale french onion soup was a standout. Value: Not bad. Couple flights and pints, couple appetizers, a kids meal, and a takeout 4-pack were under $90. They could probably get away with charging more given it's right down the road from Hershey Park and bound to be loaded with tourists. Overall: Best craft beer option I've found in the area, way better than Funck's in my limited experience. Well worth a visit if you're in town.
