The bar has no windows as it is downstairs and is a very cool place.  The sit-up bar seats 10 people.  The walls are all stone and mortar.  4 local beer on tap, as well they have wine and mixed drinks. They have 4 booths with pew like high backs on them.  There are quite a few tables for four and close together. There are 2 fireplaces.  They weren't in use as it was 90F out side.   All the tables have i inch thick, 8 inch high wax candles that are lit.  All the staff is dressed in period costumes.  The staff was very friendly!  We loved it here and if you  are ever in  Gettysburg or any where near you have to try this place out.  The food must be good as every one in here and the place was packed was eating.  On the menu they have"Porridge of the day" There is all of the usual pub fare too.  If you are looking for a very cool, interesting, historic pub this is a must see and try!!
