Very favorite Thai place in the area. A bit of a drive- 25mins out of town- but well worth it. Right off the highway in Dillsburg, PA, Pakha's has a casual atmosphere but some amazing food. Pakha herself cooks much of the time. I will say- with complete honestly- that her food inspires cravings even 3000 miles away. (and there's quite a bit of thai out here)

Good food, great locally brewed beer. New building- open and inviting atmosphere. Fabulous patio when the weather is nice. In the heart of the tourist district, you will see locals as well as out-of-towners, and maybe even hear some music.

This place is awesome. Great food, diverse atmosphere, and live music! The Garryowen is a favorite for locals wanting to eat, drink, or see music. The expanded dining area offers a family-friendly space in addition to the bar space. The food is great, and the service excellent.

Drinks & Nightlife

This place is great for a lot of different reasons. The food is awesome- upscale Irish Pub fare. The bar can be chill during the day and hopping at night. They offer live music some nights and an upstairs bar with a more intimate feel. Friendly staff, fun atmosphere.

My dad helped to build this bar, and both my sisters and I worked there years ago. It's a beautiful bar in the Gettysburg Hotel. It can be a fun scene with some great bartenders or a nice place for a meal. There is also outdoor seating for nice days/evenings.

Easy, yet peaceful and packed full of battle monuments 3-mile loop can be great exercise or a pleasure walk. You don't even have to drive there... Just walk two blocks behind the house on Liberty Ave and you'll see the entrance behind the school. It's a three mile loop, with the option to add another mile with a there-and-back jaunt at Spangler's Spring. Very enjoyable walk, bike ride, or jog.

Beautiful views. Very iconic monument. I was part of the 1988 event when the light was changed from electric to gas again. The poster is in the kitchen :)
