Applebee's Grill & Bar - Lancaster, Bar # 192

We made it out to a virtually vacant bar today and on the way found that all bars in PA will be shut down at midnight tonight until further notice. As stated in the last blog, we will not be doing any at length descriptions of our outings anymore.

Stay healthy, stay safe.

Stockyard Inn Steakhouse, Lancaster - Bar #191

Today was another very good day for The Retired Guys, but also marks a transitional time regarding our blog.  The blog will now become more like a listing of where we have been and less of a review of the establishment.

Today we visited The Stockyard Inn Steakhouse.  It absolutely lived up to it's reputation as the long time, go-to elegant dining experience in Lancaster.  Morgan, our bartender was friendly and engaging; the kind of bartender everyone hopes to meet.  Our blog's new direction is in no way a reflection of today's experience.

The Retired Guys hope you have enjoyed our sharing of beer drinking afternoons.  Keep checking back to follow our listing of bars as we continue our hobby.  We hope our list will serve as a reference when you are not sure where to go to relax.

It is our wish that our paths cross somewhere along this quest with all of you.  And remember, if you are too busy to have a beer with a friend, you are just too busy.

CHEERS!

T G I Fridays, Lancaster - Bar #190

Today The Retired Guys ventured into a venue that we thought might be a cookie-cutter, bland establishment that is typical of a chain, shopping mall pub.  It was not like that at all.  Today we enjoyed brews at T G IFridays at Lancaster’s Park City Mall.  Upon entering we were greeted by Jan who was welcoming and very personable. Through conversations, we learned of Jan’s extensive experience in bartending and it certainly showed in her hospitality to us and other patrons.


 Fridays has 18 beers on tap and I am sure a wide range of bottled beers.  The usual mass marketed beers are there, but also some very good craft beers.  Of course, when the option is there, The Retired Guys opt for a good draft IPA.

As we have stated before, every pub has good points to experience and enjoy on an afternoon.  Today was a perfect example of not allowing a preconceived expectation to stop us from having a good time.


Remember: If you are too busy to have a beer with a friend, you are just too busy.


Until next time, CHEERS!
