Alburtis Tavern and Lodge

• “We’re more than just a restaurant,” says owner Terry Bender. “We have lodging, large banquet rooms, and tribute dinner shows—not to mention our own draft beer, Lockridge Lager.”
• When you dine at Alburtis Tavern, you’re sitting in a slice of Pennsylvanian history. It was sparked by the arrival of railroads and became a popular stop for conductors and train employees. Of the four hotels that occupied Alburtis in the late 1800s, this is the only one that still remains.
• This Candy Cane Martini is one of six delectable drink specials on deck this winter season. It’s made with strawberry shortcake vodka and garnished with a crushed candy cane rim.
• Things you can never have enough of: money, vacation days, and mac & cheese. This Lobster Mac & Cheese is smothered in cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, mixed with tender and buttery lobster bites, and baked in the oven for a super creamy spin on childhood’s favorite supper.
• This appetizer is more like an edible ode to comfort food, the kind that you dream up when you have a serious case of the munchies. They’re Crab Mac & Cheese Stuffed Pretzels, and yes, they really exist. How do you make a Bavarian pretzel better? Cram it full of homemade crab mac and cheese and dip it in beer cheese sauce, naturally.
