Latest reviews from Danville
| 84 /100 298 MILL STREET “Street parking in downtown Danville, Pennsylvania. Dim lighting here at Old Forge Brewing. Bartender is knowledgeable . 16 beers on tap and two cask pumps. 6 dollars for a pint. It’s like an olde English Tavern. Like he service. Can beers to go. Souvenir shirts and hats also. We really like this place. Cheers!“ |
| 76 /100 Weis - Danville (Grocery Store) 140 CONTINENTAL BLVD “I was on my way back to Pgh from Cape Cod. A couple of minutes off of interstate 80, I was staying at the Hampton and needed a sixpack. On a hunch, I checked out the local Weis. Stopped at this place and was really surprised about the amount of local beers they had here. They also had a ton of other common craft beers but my big score was getting a mixed 6 pack of local brews I never had before for just 12$, quite nice! The other thing is that their fresh hot food selection was really great! We got the roasted whole chicken for 5$ and was not disappointed. Yes, its a grocery store with all the other stuff but if you need a mixed sixer, you have to check out their mixed sixer cooler in the back of the beer display. Really nice to find this place by accident. BTW, there are two local microbreweries within walking distance as well.“ |
| 54 /100 237 ROONEY AVENUE “Visited this place while at a stay over in the Danville Hampton on a Saturday afternoon. Decent little pubroom. Had a nice cooler of 4 packs for sale. I wanted a mixed 6 or 4 pack, did not have. Oh well. Not crowded, practicing covid separation. Bartender seems rather nice. Decent atmosphere for beer tasting with the locals.“ |
| 74 /100 298 MILL STREET “We came here on 18.11.2018. Visited this brewpub on our way back from Williamsport. Plenty of parking available behind the pub. Interior could be improved. Limited visibility of the brewhouse. Beers were quite good. Loved the Rauchbeer and the IPA‘s were good too. We met very nice people at the bar. Service was friendly and attentive.“ |
| 74 /100 298 MILL STREET “Stopped in here while staying the night in Danville PA. We had a couple of beers and dinner. The place itself inviting. Bar on one side, tables on the other. A few outdoor seats up front. The food was pretty good and reasonably priced. The beers were alright and also very reasonably priced. I wouldn't go out of my way to stop here, but it was a nice surprise finding this in Danville PA.“ |
| 70 /100 237 ROONEY AVENUE “Rock God is located just off the main drag in Danville. It’s within a couple of blocks of Old Forge with some parking in front. It’s the first brewery I’ve ever seen that was formerly a car wash/plumbing supply store. The owners are starting slowly by opening part time for now. Given the name, rock music plays into both the decor, the atmosphere, as well as the beer names. I think the beers are works in progress, but I also think it’s impossible to spend any time here and not see what a labor of love it is for them. I hope they do well and I’m rooting for them.“ |
| 74 /100 298 MILL STREET “Nice enough brewpub in Danville, PA. Stopped here on our way back to NJ from Penn State. The décor is nice...especially the rotating mug "carousel" over the bar...but otherwise not that special. I did like the windows looking into the brewery...although note that the main brewery is a few blocks away and not currently open to the public. The beers were decent with a couple of standouts (the Old Forge Extra Pale Ale, and the seasonal No Sox IPA). Although the menu was filled with numerous interesting offerings...we found the items we ordered to be average in quality at best. The staff was great though...especially our waitress. Prices were very good. This is a better than average locale for the area...but not as good as Selin’s Grove Brewery, or even Berwick Brewery (nearby Turkey Hill was probably better too).“ |
| 80 /100 298 MILL STREET “Looks like a converted restaurant, right on the main street in a picturesque small town. Street parking, metered even on weekends. Large bar off to one side with the tap handles set back, a nice arrangement. Brewhouse off to one side behind glass. restaurant tables. A dozen or so beers, flights of four. Tasty food, lots of variety and creativity. Beers were very solid. Friendly efficient servers. A worthwhile stop.“ |
| 72 /100 298 MILL STREET “Visited on a quiet Saturday afternoon in Aug-2012. We had a large party upstairs (maybe 10) and they were unfortunately overwhelmed by our beer-crazed orders so it was understandably a tad slow. 90s music rocking out, maybe 6 of their own beers on tap, and a good food menu. We tried the ale chicken quesadilla and Cuban sandwich and some hot pretzels, all quite tasty. Not a bad little place, but would like to have tried more of their own beers. The rootbeer was delicious! (4/7/10/9/8/15) 72“ |

| 76 /100 298 MILL STREET “Stopped on a Sat. afternoon at 3pm and it was packed! Great atmosphere, friendly and attentive service. Didn’t eat but the food looked very good with huge portions. Sampled a few short pours near the bar area. Solid line-up and prices seemed reasonable. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in Danville, but I wouldn’t go out of my way normally.“ |
| 80 /100 298 MILL STREET “Pretty neat cozy brewpub in a small city that appears to be a former industrial city. Pretty ugly post-industrial city but very nice brewpub. Two floors, sits about 100 maybe less. Downstairs a bit more pub while the upstairs is a bit more restaurant. They only had 5 beers on tap when I was there but apparently they can go up to 8 or 10. Sat at the bar and proceeded to try their offerings, very impressed by how passionate and knowledgeable my barman was about the beers. Old Forge seem to focus on session beers true to their respective styles. Don’t expect 11% abv crazy experiments there. I liked all four beers I had (ratings from 3.3. to 3.8). Also the beer was pretty cheap. Didn’t try the food but it looked like delicious simple meals at an affordable price. This place is a must if you are driving through this area.“ |
| 78 /100 298 MILL STREET “Stopped by on my way home from Western PA. Nice, small brew pub. Staff was very nice. 8 beers on tap, all were good. Just ordered hummus but that was surprising good. Very cool little brew pub. Definitely plan on stopping by again.“ |
| 76 /100 298 MILL STREET “After a long day at Knoebel’s with a bunch the RB crew from Kramer’s campground brewdown we stopped off for a few beers and a bite to eat. Sat upstairs since there was about 13 of us, and we had the whole place to ourselves up there for most of the time. This was good and bad as sometimes it seemed like no service staff was taking care of us, but overall we had solid service, and quite accommodating given three or four of us opted for samplers. A few people ordered meals and seemed quite happy with the food, and the rest of us went through a couple of orders of the pretzels (which were the same kind of awesome that Selin’s Grove had). The beers were good, nothing amazing, but on par or better than most standard brewpub offerings. A worthwhile stop and we certainly had an excellent time in a big beautiful space (although our table slanted a little bit.)“ |
| 70 /100 298 MILL STREET “2012-08-18. Older building, the main floor is relatively small with a huge chandelier and mugs all over the wall (mug club?) Upstairs has an airy, old building conversion to it with character that I like. Large windows into the street let in lots of light. Small patio in the back of the second floor. Beers ranged from quite good to just okay, none really knocked my socks of but most were at least serviceable. Server was quite friendly and helpful but a bit slow given that our party comprised the majority of the people there at the time. Shared a quesadilla which was quite enjoyable, and a bit of the soft pretzels that were going around the table (very good!). House made root beer was quite good, and actually a bit better than some of the beers on the sampler try. Prices seemed quite reasonable. Absolutely worth a visit if you are in town.

| 66 /100 298 MILL STREET “Same review as Rudolf below, big RB group came here for Campdown Brewdown. Two floors of modern, clean, woody space. Full lunch and dinner menu, large with good variety. Pretzels were great, sandwiches looked decent. Perhaps a little underwhelming for food and not so cheap. Can do a flight of the beers they have on tap. I think it was $8 for 7 beer flight, which is very good. However, most of the beers were oversteeped grain tannic and thin. One or two were enjoyable. Service was quite slow and not used to a large group, which is understandable. This is in a really small town. But then again so is Selins Grove.“ |
| 76 /100 298 MILL STREET “Stopped here during Campground Brewdown 2012. Its a nice, modern space that looks cramped when you walk in but opens up quite a bit when you head upstairs. The service was pleasant but slow. Food & beer prices were reasonable. The food itself varied - some things were really good, others were a bit underwhelming. Beers were for the most part OK to good.“ |
| 72 /100 298 MILL STREET “Stopped for dinner here on Friday night after Knoebels. Despite the poor reviews on Google, we found OFBC to be a pretty decent brewpub. Service was really good and quick. We had 3 different beers - The Eleven Black IPA, Underbite IPA and their Bourbon Barrel Imperial Stout. All were decent beers and we even got a growler of the Black IPA to go. Food was good (the grilled cheese with bacon was amazing, which is what our daughter had). I would definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.“ |
| 88 /100 298 MILL STREET “Probably the best local brewery in the area. Great beers and great food. There is always a nice rotation of beers on tap and a nice range of styles. Very friendly waitstaff and kitchen employees. The owner is very pleasant and personable as well.“ |
| 74 /100 298 MILL STREET “Stopped by here last year with PJ, Andrew and Brendan. Nice little place with solid selection of brews and great food. In the middle of nowhere, but worth the visit if even remotely nearby.“ |
| 76 /100 298 MILL STREET “An industrial-style decorated brew pub with two levels. The entryway features the brewery to the left and a somewhat cramped bar just beyond that. Upstairs is another bar and the dining room. The house beers were good and the food was amazing. Add this to their low prices and this was yet another deal on our I-80 central PA beer tour.“ |
| 82 /100 298 MILL STREET “Great little place in the middle of nowhere. Good selection of their beer, with friendly service and some decent food.“ |
| 74 /100 298 MILL STREET “The newly expanded upstairs is great. I love the openess and all the big old windows looking out on the street and the old wood work. The food is good...sandwiches, salads, and burgers are all good choices. The beers are all solid, but something a little more daring would add to the the variety. A strong dessert beer or even something fruity would round out the repertoire. A valuable addition to downtown Danville.“ |
| 78 /100 298 MILL STREET “A nice spot on the main drag of Danville. Downstairs is cozy with a bar and a few tables as well as some of beermaking equipment. (sorry I’m not yet well versed enough in my beerist adventures to be able to identify the machinery.)There’s also seating available in an upstairs area. The most prominent feature is the metal umbrella that holds a couple hundred colorful mugs. It looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland and it adds a tremendous amount of funkiness to the place. The mug club sounds like a great bargain as well. This is a place to talk, no tv’s. and drink good beer. The unusual thing about their board, they had 8 on taps, is that most of them were of session strength 4.5-5% ABV which the bartender said was unusual. I really enjoyed their Belgian-style Blonde Ale. And my hamburger was fantastic. I’ll definitely go back if I’m in the area.“ |
| 80 /100 298 MILL STREET “A worthy brewpub. Great rustic, yet modern atmosphere with a bar on the first floor and restaurant seating above. They have a good selection of their own brews on draft, all of which were very good. The food is great as well. Certainly worth the stop if you are in the area.“ |
| 72 /100 298 MILL STREET “7/02/09: Stopped by on a quiet, sunny Wednesday afternoon. There weren’t a lot of people here but it was like 3:00 on a weekday. Looks like this place was newly built, the wood was still shiny and sparkly. The downstairs is pretty small (just a small bar and a few tables) but I think they also have tables upstairs, although I didn’t see it. No TV here but they do play music. The beers were pretty decent. I especially like the pilsener and porter. The mild ale was alright and I didn’t care much for the stout and Belgian ale. When I was there they had 5 beers on tap. I believe they rotate fairly often. Good service, but then again, I was one of only 4, max 5 people at the brewpub. I got a turkey sandwich and it was very tasty. Lots of their food features locally-grown cheese or bread and it’s pretty healthy too. An interesting new brewpub--check it out if you are passing along route 80. Update 12/23/10: Visited again in late August 2010, this time on a Sunday evening and it was again fairly quiet. A large apparatus like a circus top was installed to hold mugs for the mug club (pretty interesting looking). This time there weren’t many beers on tap (maybe 4) which were decent. It was a good place to stop at the end of a beer trip right before a long haul back to Long Island.“ |
