What a cool historic building first off. It's nice because besides the cool restaurant, you can take your drink and walk around and go downstairs to the catacombs and look for staircases because you will find yourself having a blast exploring this place! It is a building built in the late 1830's if I'm correct. But outside of that the food is great too! I was enjoying my mount joy burger. Nice flame broiled taste, and the banging shrimp was so good too. Had a great beer and needed a wheel barrel on the way out.

I came with a group of seniors on a bus for a murder mystery luncheon. When we arrived, we were herded into the bar area for drinks and appetizers. For a large group of approximately 50 people, some with walkers, it was too small. By the time I got up to the appetizers they were pretty much gone. There was also not enough room for everyone to sit. This was my only real complaint. I think for large groups, the drinks and appetizers should be omitted or served at the tables where our lunches were served since many of the seniors were not able to stand and handle their plates and drinks at the same time. The lunch, although not much to look at, tasted very good. The chocolate cake for dessert was tasty. The murder mystery was interactive, and one person at each table was involved. The actors moved from room to room to create the mystery and then we found out who was the murderer. Afterwards, those who were able to, took a tour of the brewery, catacombs and outdoors. It was enjoyable and we would return.

This is an interesting venue, and it's worth checking out. I've been there several times, but not for many years before this most recent visit. I was pleasantly surprised because the last time I was there, over 10 years ago, I wasn't impressed with my meal. This time, though, everything was great. I got broiled scallops and my husband got the seafood pasta - both were delicious. My husband also got an Old Fashioned, which he enjoyed. Our server was very friendly and attentive. It was a great experience!

I wanted to visit the catacombs since I saw Bube’s on Ghost Hunters. It became the focal stop on our road trip. I didn’t read reviews until we were close, and several poor ones worried me. But we had a fantastic visit. ✨ The building is gorgeous. Our dinner reservation began with a brief tour and background of the property. The hostess walked us to our table downstairs making sure we were careful to watch our step. There’s a great cocktail menu, and the drinks were not weak! (I almost overlooked the shimmery liquor in my spritz because of the low-lit environment.) The seafood pasta and stuffed chicken breast were so delicious. I have never enjoyed brussels sprouts but ate every last one here. Zero complaints on the food, its temperature, or the preparation. Kendra, our server, was enthusiastic and attentive. We inquired and received a couple of paranormal stories. Even upstairs I asked if the bartender could wrap up a pint glass I purchased for our drive, and he did well to protect it. Great service from cool staff. The Biergarten out back is gorgeous. There are tons of games and ample seating. It all adds to the character of the property. Suggestions that could further improve the experience: *A confirmation text/email of the reservation *Bread to nibble on before entrees *Another vegetarian entree option (not a mushroom fan here) Overall, this was the highlight of our 10 day road trip. The charm of Main Street Mount Joy made it even more worth it. I would love to return, and I encourage others too to check out Bube’s.

Although building and atmosphere is really cool... the food is mediocre at best. Debated between Bubes and Lancaster Brewery and we made the wrong choice. It's a micro brewery and they only had 4 of their beers available so was very disappointed. The Catacombs restaurant sounds cool but you have to have reservations and the menu is limited and a bit pricey.
