| BUCK RUN | ||
| 901 Pub | On one side is a rather dark bar, on the other a two-room restaurant. The usual draught beers are available, I had Yuengling. The food menu included a bison burger. Service was a little slow due to the arrival of a very large party. | State Route 901 / Pleasant Road |
| CONNEAUGHT LAKE | ||
| Stable Pit and Pub | A large restaurant / bar with a horse theme. Totally deserted when I visited on a Sunday afternoon but I imagine it gets pretty busy at other times. Yeungling, Coors Light and Miller Light on draught. | |
| HARRISBURG | ||
| Appalachian Brewing Company | The brewery is visible through windows from the large open restaurant with a long bar in the corner. There is a separate Sports Bar as well. Several of their own brews are on tap including a superb hefeweiss. The hand pump for cask conditioned ale is hidden in a corner at the back of the bar. It was providing an excellent stout when I visited. The food is extremely nice and fish and chips is served in a (fake) newspaper! Regulars can subscribe to become "Muggers" who get their own personal stein which hangs behind the bar. The ones hanging near where I sat were numbered in the 390s! | Cameron Street / Market Street |
| Leeds | The square three-sided bar counter has a nice dark wood surround with some impressive wood carvings. It is surrounded by a pleasant drinking area with a stone floor. The standard range of domestics and imports is available on tap. I didn't visit the restaurant part. | Eisenhower Boulevard |
| PHILADELPHIA | ||
| Bridgewaters Pub | An otherwise fairly standard array of international draught beers included Warsteiner Dunkel - very nice - when I visited this small flat bar with a marble floor, tucked into one end of the spectacular 30th Street Station. Another visit two years later found an uncommon German brew once again, this time Hacker-Pschorr Hefeweizen. | |
| SCRANTON | ||
| Marvelous Muggs | This very large restaurant / bar has nice decor reminiscent of some British pubs, with cut class screens, brass rails, dark wood partitions and a mosaic (OK it's actually vinyl) floor. Guinness, Bass and Yuengling are on tap and the food is good. This place looks like it belongs to a chain but I've never seen any other branches. | Montage Mountain Road / Davis Street |
| SEVEN SPRINGS
Not being a winter sportsman I didn't know what to expect from this ski resort, and
I must say I was rather impressed - it was a lot larger and better appointed
than I expected.

| Bavarian Lounge | Plenty of sports on TV in this large busy bar in the foyer of the main complex. It doesn't look very Bavarian to me. Live music. | |
| Foggy Goggle | A lively disco/bar situated right at the foot of the slopes, built of stone and wood as is the whole resort. When I visited it was full of drunk skiers dancing very badly. The usual domestic draught beers are served. | |
| Matterhorn Lounge | It costs $2 to get in to this enormous disco/bar, busy and lively on a Saturday night. They play a wide choice of music, from the Bee Gees to AC/DC and modern(ish) stuff as well. The standard range of domestic draught beers are available in pitchers. | |
