Huckleberry's Restaurant & Tavern, East Lampeter Twp - Bar # 129

You don't know what you don't know...then all of a sudden you know...usually because of just committing a blunder.

Today the Retired Guys ventured out to the venerable area of Route 30 East, home of popular Lancaster Tourist Attractions in East Lampeter Township and stopped at Huckleberry's Restaurant & Tavern housed within the Fulton Steamboat Inn.

At this time of year and at the time of day we like to venture out Huck's was not very busy (just the two of us) and so our bartenders lent a hand elsewhere within the restaurant much of the time we were there.  Having said that I must point out that we were warmly greeted and welcomed to the bar by Shannon who took an interest in our story and shared it right away with the incoming bartender, Frank.  Frank made sure that our thirst was well quenched and shared some interesting information about the length of Lancaster's tourist season and how it impacts the Fulton Steamboat organization.  Maybe it is just the Christmas season but we definitely got the impression that Shannon and Frank enjoyed their job and conveyed their happy vibes to us.

The bar has 6 beers on tap with only one "lite" beer.  The five drinkable beers were mostly local and all from Pennsylvania.  Additionally, if the tap selection didn't satisfy, there was a good selection of bottled beer in a cooler behind the bar.

We enjoyed an appetizer of Flatbread Margherita which was enough to convince us that a return visit to sample more of their food was lurking in the near future.

Today's bar experience is an example of the benefit that we get from our goal of visiting every non-smoking bar in Lancaster County.  As natives we would not normally go to a "tourist trap" in our home area but rules are rules so we're trying places outside our comfort zone.  Huck's is a good place with good food and a more than adequate beer selection.  We encourage other "natives" to give it a try especially if you're heading out to do some shopping at the outlet stores anyway.

Have a Merry Christmas!!  See you in 2018.
