Beer doesn't make you fat. It makes you lean.....against bars, tables, chairs, walls.
Four and ½ months after Helen’s
Corner Bar & Restaurant in Leola closed this past February without explanation it reopened under new management represented by Joseph Margolis
and Chean Wu, also current owners of an Asian restaurant in Ephrata. Helen’s
is open daily from 8:00AM until 2:00AM so you can grab a beer really early or really
late and anytime in between!
Today the retired guys were well taken care of by our
bartender Michelle who advised us that Helen’s has been reopened for a little over a month and in its resurrection is now a non-smoking bar. For a non-smoker like myself there is a detectable aroma still lingering from over 30 years of smoke exposure; however, it is clearly extremely light and definitely not repulsive so for non smokers this should not be an issue.
Helen’s has 8 beers on tap with 2 being of the light variety. The full bodied beers represented a nice geographical as well as taste mix so even a discriminating beer drinker should be able to find something to satisfy their taste. If not, there is also a generous mix of bottles/cans in the "TO-GO" refrigerator from which to choose.
For eats we sampled a couple of appetizers and thoroughly enjoyed the spring roll and egg roll made available to us. These items are clearly influenced by the new owners who added them to the menu as they have done in their Ephrata restaurant. If the appetizers are indicative of the rest of the menu it is easy to plan a return for a full meal to accompany a couple of glasses of beer the next time around which should come in the near future.
By the way, as this is a five Tuesday month, we get to do this one more time in August - Woohoo!
Until next time....bottoms up!
