I don't anticipate a reply, on the way home from Hershey Saturday night we decided to talk up ABC. YIKES!! We arrived at 6:30 and were told a 30 minute wait, not bad we waited. People started piling in , their names getting on the list to be seated. After 35 minutes my husband asked how much longer and where... More

Had lunch here this month. When we walked in at 12:15 pm, the hostess asked "May I help you with something?" Funny question considering time of day. However sat quickly and was served promptly. Did not have any beer due to driving. However our meals were well cooked and reasonable priced. Free parking in rear. Would consider returning.

I had a chance to stop here while in town and saw it featured on a show covering Pennsylvania breweries back in Chicago. The place is large and spacious and well-laid out. I came here for lunch, and some breweries can keep their mediocre food offerings in the kitchen. They should just stick to making beer, but not this place.... More

Pretty noisy; service so-so; food nothing special. Beers interesting and tasty. Would return with a crowd; as a couples place it's pretty ordinary.

If you're not familiar with downtown Harrisburg, ABC is easy to miss as you might go right by thinking it's just another industrial building. I found that to be part of the charm and you should take the brewery tour on Saturdays and get a little history of the building. We were camping near by and had come into town... More

ABC is a great spot to sample microbrews. the food is good, but the beer sampling and selection is better. ABC also has entertainment...with some up and coming artists. We saw the Lumineers there and the list of groups that appear includes a great variety of performers. Check it out if you want to have a good time and entertainment.

We spent the morning and early afternoon exploring the miles and miles of battlefields and were very hungry (and thirsty) and we really lucked out here. The bar staff was friendly and accomodating, the food was delicious, and the location was very convenient if you are out and about amongst the battlefields. Highly recommend, punch it into your GPS and... More

I was visiting a business on Cameron Street, Harrisburg for a couple of days and the ABC was within walking distance, so I ate there two times for lunch. The outside of the building is misleading as you wouldn't expect to find this type of restaurant/pub inside. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. I didn't try any of the craft... More

-BAD craft beer, and all of you craft beer lovers know for every good craft beer there are like 7 or 8 bad ones....well ABC has those 7 or 8 bad ones. -Mediocre food. -Overpriced. -TERRIBLE Harrisburg location....dangerous, out of the way, mugger/rapist-friendly parking lot, and a nightmare to get out of. -SLOW service. -Their bar is directly above the...
