Burley Bar — Local services in Lancaster

The Burley Bar is a cute establishment. As a member of the LGBTQA+ community, I felt welcomed as I saw the pride flag hanging over the bar. Representation matters, to me, as my full-time work is doing diversity, equity, & inclusion work. I saw the sign that mentioned, “ pick a table and order at the bar” I love a good instruction. I ordered an Old Fashioned. It was very light and created the intended vibe that I was going for. I appreciate bartenders who know how to make a good Old Fashioned.

I got the chicken sandwich with french fries. Their cocktails are more savory than sweet. They closed around 10pm which I kind of felt was a little early for a bar. Regardless, we had...

Great space for a drink and a bite.

The obvious focus is the liquor and they seem to be able to make just about anything. Not to mention you can buy bottles of their staples. I am personally a fan of their gin, but I would keep them all on hand if I could. That said, still good beers on tap to balance things out (wines I assume as well)

The food menu is way more diverse than it used to be, but not over the top so they do what they do well.

The ambiance is one of their other strong suites, this place is great to meet up with people or...
