Market Cross Pub & Brewery

I really enjoyed this bar. Bartender (curly haired fella) was engaging while simultaneously taking care of business. Never wanted for a drink or had to stare him down awkwardly to put an order in... he was on top of it... and with a witty remark to boot. Drinks (Peach Kentucky Mules) were tasty af and the food (pretzels with beer cheese and beef and Guinness) was delicious. Best place I've been to in a long time. Obviously a great team in place.

We wanted to love this place, we really did. Unfortunately it fell short in most ways. First the good. We were seated promptly and the ambiance of the place screamed old Brit pub. It was roomy and there was a section for large groups. The crab cake was tasty, though it was not made with lump crab meat. Now the not-so-good. I was disappointed by the limited number of home brews..I believe there were 4 and there wasn’t a wheat or milder lager in the mix. Both the chicken pot pie and fish in my fish-n-chips lacked salt. Also, the staff was unable to get the world football championship on the TV in the area we were in…the Brits are in a championship final for the first time since 1966…all TVs should have been locked onto the game! The service was ok…there was a bit of a lag in attentiveness by our server…and our server made an honest mistake of charging our card for another patron’s meal. So, all in all…the experience wasn’t horrible, but it was a few steps below what we’ve experienced at other Carlisle-area breweries.

My group of friends and I went here to celebrate a birthday. It was my first time there and I got the fried chicken sandwich. Let’s just say, I needed to go back for another one (which I did for my one year wedding anniversary)! The beverages, the staff, the atmosphere and the food was great and I will definitely go back!! Great place to eat while in Carlisle!

First time here. The drink menu was huge, so we opted for beer. Ordered the pretzels as an appetizer and were not disappointed. Best we've had anywhere so far. Lunch was the Reuben for me and the Cuban for my husband and we both ended up taking half of each home. Service was good as well especially since we caught part of the lunch hour rush. Definitely on our list of places to come back to again.

This is one of the best establishments I've been to in Carlisle. I love their food selection from Irish to American. They have the best beer selection I've seen in a long time. Their atmosphere is totally relaxing and inviting to anyone. I totally recommend it to everyone that I talk to. Try it out :-)
