Retired Guys Beer Afternoon: The Station at Reinholds Inn, Reinholds

You know something bad is about to happen when someone says "Hold my beer and watch this"

Today, the Retired Guys reflected on a couple of decisions made 5-6 years ago that have had major positive ramifications to this day. 1 - We decided to visit every bar in Lancaster County 2 - We promised to never visit the same bar (as a Retired Guys team) twice. Those two decisions have more than once caused us to visit an exceptional bar that because of distance would never have been on our list of places to go. Lucky for us, today was one of those great places!

The Station at Reinholds Inn in Reinholds is kind of out of the way if you live right in Lancaster but it is well worth the 30+ minute drive to visit. Upon arrival, The Retired Guys were a little confused about the proper entrance (geez, you'd think we had already been drinking!) but were graciously saved when a person opened a bar door and told us the other entrance was not yet open. She asked if we would mind entering through the door she was holding. Turns out our savior was a lady named Glenda, not to be confused with Glinda (the good witch) who was to be our bartender for the afternoon. Glenda, a descendant of Hans Herr, cheerfully answered all of our questions about the bar and provided us with her recommended appetizer of "Fried Green Beans", which were excellent. The way Glenda was paying attention to details led us to ask if she was an owner of the bar and she answered in the affirmative.

There were only 3 beers on tap of which one was of the "light" variety but as we have learned from our visits to 122 bars, the beer selection, while important, comes second to the social environment that is found at every establishment. The social environment we experienced with Glenda and Mandy (the bartender starting at 4:00PM) easily superseded any perceived lack of beer selection.

We recommend that any of our readers visit and advise all that we plan to return for a meal experience in one of the well appointed dining areas upstairs or on the deck (see pics below).
