Shot & Bottle

Shot & Bottle sits on the historic 2 North Queen Street in downtown Lancaster, just steps from the bustling Lancaster Central Market and the vibrant Fulton Theatre district. Housed in a renovated brick warehouse, the interior blends exposed steel beams, reclaimed wood tables and soft amber lighting, creating a relaxed yet upscale bar‑restaurant vibe. By day the menu showcases Pennsylvania‑sourced ingredients: a signature chicken‑fried steak with herb‑butter gravy, a seasonal beet‑root salad drizzled with local honey vinaigrette, and a wood‑fire flatbread topped with smoked gouda and caramelized onions. Weekday lunches run from 11 am to 5 pm, while the Friday brunch (9 am‑2 pm) offers fluffy buttermilk pancakes, avocado toast on sourdough, and a house‑made Bloody Mary featuring a Pennsylvania rye base. Dinner service begins at 5 pm, featuring craft‑prepared entrees such as pan‑seared trout with lemon‑caper butter and a pork belly confit that melts on the palate. The bar boasts an extensive list of Pennsylvania craft beers on tap, curated wines and a curated selection of the state’s finest spirits, highlighted during the daily happy hour from 4 pm‑6 pm with $2 off draft drafts and $8 signature cocktails. Reservations are handled through Resy, recommended for weekends; groups of up to 12 can book directly, while larger parties enjoy a tailored menu and a single check with optional split. Friendly staff, free Wi‑Fi and a patio view of the historic Queen Street storefront make Shot & Bottle a go‑to spot for locals and visitors seeking a modern Lancaster dining experience.
