They’ve come a long way from being just a garage operation!  South County is one of the best breweries to come out of Central PA, and I was so excited when they took over the old Pressroom location in downtown Lancaster!

The space is gorgeous and they’ve done a nice job renovating – plenty of seating in the front, with booth and chair options, and the really long bar. There’s also to-go fridge at the entrance, along with some merch options.

There’s more seating in the “Kings Hideaway” room in back that can be used for private events/parties. There’s a separate bar back there as well as big screen TVs.

We went for Mother’s Day and enjoyed a list lunch (amazing charcuterie and a very generous beet salad) and all my favorite beers – Sound Machine, Sonic Bloom, Stellar Phase, Liminal Moment.

Even thought there was only one server on hand to manage the back room when we arrived, she did a great job checking in on the tables, keeping drinks filled, etc. She explained the special menu items and was knowledgeable about the beers, too, which is always a big plus to me.

Really impressed and pleased with my whole experience and can’t wait to come back!

Thank you for hosting our group of 26! The food and service were amazing! Our server, Mahogany, did an incredible job! It’s not easy to serve a large group (especially our group). Mahogany kept up with each guest, making sure they had what they needed and did it all with patience and a positive attitude. She was extremely helpful! Everyone in our group said the food was delicious.

I feel South County is the best brewery in town today. The fact that the food is very good as well makes it a stop for us every time we trip to Lancaster. The venue used to be the Press Room for those that remember. The interior layout is somewhat different.

Damn fine crab cakes. Perfectly constructed and perfectly broiled- lots of lump, very little binder. The crab flavor shines through, not the usual “murder by Old Bay” fare.
