Received a good recommendation from a coworker about this establishment! Well he wasn’t wrong about this place. The food was excellent and the service was exceptional. The menu is not huge but what they offer is perfect for the restaurant. You get the usual American pub style meals but with a little twist. If you enjoy spirits this is the place for you. They are a distillery and make great spirits. We will be returning to try more soon!

Service was great, atmosphere was chill. For a restaurant I will avoid and now have my family avoid. My burger was raw in the middle but burned on the outside. My son had a burger that was completely burned and better off a charcoal brick. We enjoyed the tater tots but were not expecting them to taste like onion rings.The only reason I’m giving 2 stars is because the front of house service, they were attentive and always smiling.Edit: Mark that you for talking with me on the phone. I know you are trying to make things right. I really appreciate it.

I love this place. Their food and specials are really good, cocktails are awesome, they always have a great tap list, service has always been top notch, they have live music on the weekends (maybe during the week too) and I like the open air atmosphere. I love the caesar salad with jalapeno ranch (I substitute instead of caesar dressing) and the fried chix sandwich with homemade chips was SOOO good. Everything here is awesome

I had the Garlic Parm Wings. I was very satisfied with the flavor and the amount of meat on the wings. The Blackberry Lemonade was delicious and refreshing.

This place is great! The owners are firefighters and the decor accurately reflects that. Theyre great people and the experience is worth it. The food is delicious and service is friendly and prompt. Finally, you can see their still room in the back and theyre happy to talk about it.

They consistently have excellent local beers on tap, and you can often find live music here. A great outdoor space is the cherry on top. This place is always such a good time!

Great atmosphere. Love that they have live music often. Honestly, the two times we have been there we were disappointed in the food. Id love to come back if the choices were better. This past visit our waffle fries came with unmelted cheese like someone had just thrown it on and brought it right to our table. My wife couldnt eat her chicken sandwich because it was to spicy. I hadnt planned on writing anything but they asked so I did.

Went here with my BF because we were visiting for Hersey park. Let me tell you the staff was lovely the environment was lovely. My bf being a firefighter loved the atmosphere. Let me tell you I do not usually get my wings out because I prefer to make them at home but the house rub here is fire. Also we got them on our taters and they are amazing highly recommend. I wish I lived around here because I would come more often.

Absolutely loved the place! Live music was awesome! The drinks were amazing! The servers and bartenders were on top of our orders and had everything out to us in a timely manner especially with it being so busy. Will definitely come back again and recommend to friends. Thank you all for an incredible date night and with awesome seats that allowed us to be able to peek at the vats and distillery!

Excellent pub. My man is a retired Captain so we really liked the decor. The food menu was limited but honestly that wasn’t a problem because what they had was excellent. We ordered several items and had way too much food. We had Peanut Butter Stout and that was really good. Got a couple T-shirts too. Overall excellent place for a drink or for pub food. I would absolutely recommend this place.

The food here is FANTASTIC. Had the apple Brie burger with onion rings and the crab dip, and everything was soooooo delicious!! Paige is an excellent server, attentive but not intrusive, always there when we needed her, but not hovering.I will absolutely, positively return the next time I’m in town, this place is a sure bet for great food. Also, the beers are terrific (had an excellent lager), and the atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming.Tonight is their second anniversary, and I can’t imagine not being here for their 22nd!!

We had my sons 25th birthday party in their back room, and it was really nice. The buffet had delicious pulled pork! The room was spacious, private and perfect for our group of 30. We loved trying their drinks, and had an incredible cheese burger with bacon and apple butter on it. Yum! All we had to do was bring the cake. Well be back when the chicken wing shortage is over, so we can try some.

If you are looking for a place to hang out with great, original cocktails and appetizers then Hook & Flask is a must. They are the first distillery to open in Carlisle and they have been a smash hit. Their food is great, we personally love their totties, and their cocktails are all delicious. They have seasonal cocktails as well that change periodically which keeps their menu fresh. They are still getting their legs under them with their spirit production, having just released their first rye and rum, but it is a promising start. I cant wait to see how their spirits improve with their experience. I grabbed a bottle of rye without question and look forward to comparing it to their next batch.

Review №28

Great place! We loved the ambiance and the fire station theme. Hook and Flask is a warm, friendly and inviting place with staff to match. Great selection of spirits, beer and wine, but no matter what your preference you should at least sample Mutual Aid, their signature whiskey, straight up or on ice. Its amazingly smooth with pleasant complex flavors batheing your palette in a rich whiskey experience. Easy to drink. Easy to love. And the food! Their eats are delicious and reasonably priced. We went for brunch one Sunday and I got the Apple Shine French Toast. Incredible! Definitely going back to try everything at least once. You should too.

Hook and Flask is one of my favorite local bars in Carlisle. I have been many times and never had a bad experience! They distill different alcohol in the building (gin and whiskey I believe) and the owner even gave us a tour of the distillery once which was pretty cool! The food is always amazing and they don’t mess around with drinks. Unlike some places which water down their alcohol, you get what you pay for here. The staff is always friendly and welcoming and they have fun stuff like trivia on wednesdays and live music at different times. If you haven’t tried hook and flask yet head on over for a great time and great food & drinks!

I called multiple times trying to order take out but the phone just kept ringing with no one answering. I decided to drive all the way to their restaurant to place an order to go because I thought maybe their phone line has issues. When I got there to ask for carry out, they went in to ask the chef and then came back out to turn me away because theyre too busy to take my order. They literally turned away a paying customer. Ive never had this happen to me before. Usually restaurants will tell you there is a waiting time if theyre busy but they told me theyre not going to take my order at all. Mind blown.Edit: I dont know how to respond to a response but thank you for responding. To me the logic doesnt make sense because if I decided to change my mind and sit down, you wouldve served me and I would have ordered the same food as I would for carry out. On your phone line, you give your customers the option to press a button to make an order for carry out but yet you will not serve carry out all the time? Thats odd. Ive eaten at your restaurant before and you guys have great food. I changed my rating to 3 stars to account for that.

Tonight was my last night living in Carlisle and I had to go to Hook & Flask. The burgers we had were cooked perfectly. The totties are great. The three little pigs was such a great combination. Luis is doing great things and I’m disappointed I won’t be able to see what other great stuff he does.
