The Dock (at Kyma Seafood Grill), Stephens - Bar # 140


"Things work out best for people who make the best of how things work out"

Today the Retired Guys went on a trek to Stevens in an attempt to find an interesting bar as our 140th visited location.  We were actually headed to Johnny's Bar & Steakhouse but drifted into "The Dock" which is an outdoor appendage of Kyma Seafood Grill.  We arrived a few minutes before the official opening time but were welcomed anyway by the friendly staff who were there busily prepping for their upcoming work shift at 4:00PM.

Our bartender was Jordan, a very professional and energetic young lady who was knowledgeable of all the beers on tap (6) as well as capable at making some very good recommendations from the ample selection of available bottles too.  Jordan advised us that "The Dock" is really a part of Kyma and Johnny's, while considered totally separate, is actually owned by the same person who owns Kyma.  So, in effect, there are three distinct bars under one roof.  Are we in a dream or were we in a serious accident and are now finding ourselves in heaven?  We discovered that Jordan is a student at Millersville University entering her senior year in Political Science.  Based on how she approached all her customers and handled everything as it got busier we both felt confident that she would be successful wherever her future career leads.

We tried the fried pickles as an appetizer and enjoyed every bite!  As luck would have it, a very strong storm was passing through the Lancaster area as we were getting ready to leave.  So, Terry enjoyed one more beer (I was the driver so could not) and while there, we observed the delicious looking meals being served to the many customers who managed to get in before the rain.  Jordan suggested to us that if we should return to eat, the "Colossal Crab Cake" or the "Johnny's Special" would be excellent choices and we could not possibly be disappointed.  As it happens, we had plans to go out for dinner this coming Saturday so will return.

This location is just another example of how wise our choice to visit all bars in Lancaster County has turned out.  Under nornal circumstances we would not plan to go this far out of our way for a meal let alone just a beer.  Now, we can't wait to get back to try the other two bars!
