Bube's Brewery is an historic nineteenth-century brewery complex. In addition to being a museum, the complex now contains three restaurants, a banquet facility, outdoor biergarten, art gallery, and brewery store. The brewery was built by Alois Bube, a German immigrant, during Lancaster County's heyday as the "Munich of the New World" prior to Prohibition. Today, Bube's Brewery is the only brewery from the 1800's surviving intact in the United States.

The Bottling Works ...... (717) 653-2056

The Bottling Works is a casual dining restaurant and tavern in the original bottling plant of Bube's Brewery. The beer and soft drinks were bottled here, and the water for making the beer was drawn from the limestone caverns below.

Alois Restaurant ..... (717) 653-2057

Alois consists of the original bar and dining rooms in the Victorian hotel portion of Bube's Brewery. The ever-changing menu employs a concept that allows every guest to experience a wide variety of foods and condiments drawn from an international repertoire. Reservations for the Alois experience can be made for each evening except for Monday.

The Catacombs .... (717) 653-2056

The Catacombs Restaurant is several stories below the surface of the street in the aging cellars of Bube's Brewery. A costumed guide will greet you and lead you on a tour of the brewery on your way to dinner.

The Cooper's Shed

Bube's Brewery also offers The Cooper's Shed, a brewery store and cooperage museum. The store is in the original cooperage (barrel working shop) of this nineteenth-century brewery. A large collection of antique cooper's tools is on display (including many original tools from this cooperage) and because many museum pieces are not fragile, there is an actual barrel producing area where they are used. The Cooper's Shed store features a variety of products including: handmade coopered items, signature Bube's Brewery items, hand-crafted beers, home-brewing equipment and supplies, locally made jewelry, and quality items produced in the local area in metal, glass, ceramic, wood, and other media.

The Brewery Gallery

In addition to being a restoration of a one-of-a-kind brewery complex, Bube's Brewery is consciously pursuing the opportunity to be a venue for artistic expression of all kinds. In addition to design, culinary, musical, and theatrical expression, the Brewery Gallery allows the presentation of visual arts including sculpture, painting, drawing, assembling, photography, and installation. Although many works are for sale, the work presented is chosen for its originality and expression rather than for its saleability.

For a taste of the history surrounding Bube's Brewery, visit the Brewery Museum or enjoy one of the complimentary tours. A short tour is available to anyone dining at the Brewery in the evening either before or after your meal, any day of the week, all year long. From June 15 to Labor Day, there is a tour guide on duty every day to give a more in-depth tour. During the rest of the year, call for advance reservations for the tour, which is always available to groups.
