Benny’s Pub

Pretty good craft beer selection. Cheesy crab fries were good, too. Extremely friendly staff. Thanks Stacy!

Very nice manager, Good food, and good beer! I love Green Bay Packers. I wish I could spend more time up at «Benny’s» but it’s a treat for me to go. It is a lot bigger inside too!

Had my family there over the holidays and everyone had a great time. Great food and wide selection of drinks to pick from. Everyone was very satisfied. My husband and I have been there before and will return again!

Saturday night visit. Good crowd, good food and good music. Need a little work on service. Friendly but slow!

Great hang out place, love the beer they have on tap. Especially the ones they brew. Food is so good also. Great hometown feel, cheers like. Customer and staff alike are very welcoming. Prices are great !! Check it out.

I would have given four, or even five stars for Benny’s. The beer is awesome, and I enjoy supporting our only local brewery. The reason I only give them three stars (would have given 3.5 if able to) is because when I went in there for a couple of beers with my son, who is in the Army stationed overseas but home on leave, the waitress naturally carded him. When he handed her his military ID she told him that she couldn’t accept that as ID. What? How can they say that they won’t accept military ID for proof of age? The fine men and women issued that ID have extensive background checks, their identities are guaranteed. They may as well have said «You can fight for our country, but don’t try using that ID in here.» It’s a real shame which casts a dark shadow, at least in my mind, on an otherwise fantastic establishment. Shame.

Benny’s serving of Antietam Brewery beer is what mainly attracted me as a lunch stop on the way from Fairfax, VA to Mont Alto, PA to visit a Penn State campus on a Sunday afternoon. I had no idea the restaurant was the go-​to place for GB Packers’ fans to watch a game. My wife and two kids (10 and 17) and I frankly paused once walked into the middle of a Packers-​Panthers game, but we decided to stay. We’re glad we did. The crowd was loud but entertaining and not overly profane, and we never felt as out of place as we clearly were. The wait staff was prompt and friendly, and the food was top-​notch. The meat-​and-​cheese app plate is huge, and the wings, hamburger, and sandwiches we had were reasonably priced and well-​prepared. Excellent fries. I had a Trappist Antietam beer, which was excellent. I went around the corner after lunch to fill a 32 oz growler at the take-​away store. If you’re in the neighborhood, or live near, it’s worth a visit!

I needed a late night meal. They have a limited menu for late night but very reasonable prices. The pizza was large for an individual. The toppings were good and plentiful. The only negative was the sauce which lacked flavor. The noise level makes conversation impossible.

Didn’t get food, but got a beer flight. Beer was good, service was prompt and friendly. Love the atmosphere! Comfortable, laid back place. Will be back.

Benny’s had to win me over. They draw a strange crowd. If you stay close to the bar, you’ll have a great time. The kitchen has really come into its own over the years. I’ve seen some pretty unique plates for such a casual place. My group loves the quesadillas. I tend to go for the spiced shrimp. Everything they do with corned beef is wonderful. The real triumph here is the Antietam menu. Sample all of the brewery’s craft beers, you won’t regret it. I am obsessed with the Hefferveisen and Maibock, both of which I buy by the growler. The live music has steadily improved. Definitely give this bar a chance.

Good beer. Good burgers. What more can you want?

Great food. We had a wrap and a steak sandwich both were great. The beers were great, had lots to choose from. Great place to go after work.

When we went, it was a particularly busy evening and I took this into account with the review. They were holding an event and it hardly seemed a good location for it because you could hardly move in the place. I was disappointed that it wasn’t more family friendly than it was, as it was a «pub». It would be suitable for older kids, but not so much for toddlers — namely due to the smaller menu that was mostly large burgers or fried food appetizers/​sides.
My first note, it was more of a bar than a «pub». There was only one or two open tables and they were all dirty. It took the bartender leaving the bar to come out and clean them off. Unfortunately, the table we were able to get was right next to the door where everyone stepped out to smoke — each time the door opened while we were eating I felt a wave of nausea. I have no qualms with smokers, but I don’t want a wave of ashtray smell blowing in my face while I’m eating. The waitress was slow to come to our table for our order. We were excited to try some of their beers since they were made on sight. My husband got a stout that was flat and I sampled the blueberry, it had no blueberry flavor at all. The food came out relatively quick, but was over cooked and mediocre at best.
It seems like it would be a decent hang out to grab some bottled brews and drunk munchies, but didn’t live up to my expectations.

Tried Benny’s pub for the first time recently and were very impressed. Good atmosphere, service, and food. The chocolate peanutbutter cheesecake is an experience worth having!

Great food! This place has awesome beer and next store, owned by the same people is the best liquor store in Hagerstown for beer. Benny’s is a restraint and brewery they use as much local ingredients in there food and beer as possible. Not a large menu mostly sandwiches but very tasty the atmosphere is friendly and it feels like a great place to make your local spot like cheers. I will definitely be back and highly recommend you heading over.

Very welcoming staff and regulars. Good bar fare. Decent prices. Charming bartenders. All-​in-​all the perfect place to grab a couple beers and some simple food and share some fun conversation.

Great bar! The food is fantastic, the owner is friendly and treats you like family. Their recently started brewery is absolutely something to try!
They have a great selection of craft beer, and the staff is knowledgeable of the beer and willing to talk to you about any of the in house beers.
The downside? It’s usually really busy. Several times as a patron I had to battle half drunk frat boys walking in and out, bumping into me, others, and it’s super loud. I love the atmosphere when I end up there on a not-​so-​busy night. But those are few and far between.
Overall? It’s an awesome place with great atmosphere and a friendly staff. If you don’t mind crowds, and mildly high prices for the area (not including their specials) then this is definitely a place to try.

All I can say is ‘wow’. Went over St. Paddy’s weekend.
The good/​great: the coconut shrimp were PERFECT! I strongly recommend the appetizer platter. It came with beer battered mozzarella sticks, coconut shrimp, crab dip on bruschetta and cheese quesadillas. As mentioned the shrimp were perfect! The crab dip on bruschetta seem to be a bunch of cheese on some crispy bread, but it was okay. The mozzarella sticks were small but good and the cheese quesadillas were good (lots of cheese) but unremarkable. The food was REALLY fresh! I was told by the bartender that nearly everything is made fresh all the time. Had the Irish nachos next, and am not completely sure it was beef (not pork) on top of the tater tots. They were alright – good food to enjoy with beer. Def like the tater tots in leu of chips.
Service: The one bartend was a little overwhelmed, and tended to be less aware of clients when she was ‘in the zone’, but she did her job and was hustling (props, Girl!). The owner, Bill, was polite, wanted to make sure we had a good experience and did a great job of helping his staff! A second bartend came on and she was great about picking up the slack. Considering it was a very busy afternoon the staff did alright. Thumbs up!
The brew: Well, this is where things got mediocre. I tried four of their house brews. The fruit based brew drank like a light, effervescent champagne rather than a beer. Not exactly my cup of tea. The milk stout was medium smoky and reminded me of one of the Roy Pitz brews. It was a stout, and versatile enough to be enjoyed with more than just jerky and cheese, but not at all what I expected. I tried the IRA – hats off to the local fire department for being honored with their own brew, and found it quite bitter and light on hops. The Golden was heavy on hops but not bitter – more my everyday choice. Oddly, Guinness is not available on tap here, so devotees be warned!
The atmosphere: Friendly, middle aged crowd until a busload of St. Patty’s day celebrators arrived. Good mix through the afternoon.
For a smaller pub, nice friendly atmosphere-​the locals were quite social at the bar, and good, fresh food. The car-​bombs I had were good too. Good place to go for the atmosphere and food, a little more difficult for beer diehards – but a good experience to try out Anteitam Brewery. Cheers!

Great pub in town w/​probably the best wings, own brewery and great regulars. 5 star easily. Keep up the great work!

Good food and a great selection of beers. The sampler of their house brews is a must. Don’t expect the same speed as a fast food restaurant here. Its not a huge place, but worth waiting.
