My Top 3 Picks for Outside Dining/Drinking In and Around Lancaster

Not in any order... but my favorite places to hang with friends, have a few drinks and grab something to eat are below. (Click on the name to go to their web page)  I quickly add that I haven't hit all of the places with outdoor decks/patios, so feel free to comment with your favorites.

1. TJ Rockwells

Large multiple decks in a wonderful setting. Just outside of E-Town, Rockwells has a large selection of items from munchies to entrees. The food is good and the portions are significant. Some of my favorites: Baked Tomato Soup (covered in cheese), Ribs, Fish Sandwich and Wings.

2. Annie Bailey's Irish Pub

One of my personal favorites - maybe because I'm half Irish! Downtown Lancaster... and I have a preference for downtown. Nice deck, great service and fun people. The drinks and the food are a hit too. Again, Wings are excellent... as well is almost anything on their menu. and one of the few bars that can make a good Margarita. But my choice is always a Black and Tan. I watched the Women's Soccer World Cup Championship there... now only if they would carry all of the Raven's games!

Oh... I had to show the KW gang on the deck!

3. Loxley's

OK... the setting may not be the greatest... kind of overlooking the most heavily traveled road in the county and next to Rte 30... BUT, the outdoor bar and seating, downstairs and upstairs, are very nice. And, if you haven't noticed, the upstairs bar has water running through it... seriously. Easy parking, which is a huge plus, makes this an easy spot for everyone to gather. The food I had was decent, but to be honest, I drank more than I ate there... so I still have to try more of their menu.

So there you have it.... my top 3 picks....  What are yours? Let me know. Click on 'Post a Comment' and add yours! I'll be doing more "reviews" based on different characteristics/features in the near future...
