After what seems like forever due to vacations and visitations, the Retired Guys have resumed our outings. Today we visited a relatively new location in the Bar / Restaurant scene right in downtown Lancaster at the historic Griest building. The Shot & Bottle is situated on the main floor and offers a great view of the bustling Lancaster Square area.
We entered, then seated ourselves at the far end of the bar so as to maximize our appreciation of the scenery afforded us on this fine summer day. Our bartender, Liz greeted us with a warm welcoming smile and engaged in an outgoing and friendly manner. We selected our beer then asked about the available appetizers. When questioned specifically about the "Dutch Fritters" Liz' eyes lit up as if we had just located a winning doorprize ticket and claimed they were a fantastic snack. We proceeded to order them and were extremely pleased we had followed the advice offered.
As we moved on to our second beer, we had the pleasure of speaking at length with Mike (another bartender) who was busy doing prep work for the evening rush. As he clearly was able to multi-task we were able to have a good discussion about some of the bars we had been to and some he suggested we make a point to visit even if they are smoking bars.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 144th visit due in large part to the friendliness of the staff who took care of us. The draft beer selection was more than adequate to desireably quench our thirsts and our sampling of the appetizer proved that the food selection will at least fulfill the expectations of a casual dining customer. It is fair to say that we'll be back!
Keep watching our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Retired-Guys-Beer-Afternoon-246464365759312/) as we will post an "event" highlighting the location where we will be visiting the 150th bar. That visit will occur during the 3rd week of September. Full details will be provided in the near future in the Facebook Event.
