Brownstone Lounge

I came to the Brownstone and the bartender was an older woman who seemed prejudice against younger men. She looked me and my friend up and down and said they cannot serve us. I tired to play nice and ask her where I am too drunk and this did not amuse her and she said to come back another night. We went to 704 instead to have a good time without bartender harassment.

Best LGBT bar in Harrisburg, actually best in the region! Very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Not too fancy, very clean and certainly not dingy. The staff and regular patrons are easy to get along with and you feel comfortable whether it’s your first time there or the 100th you stop by. It’s a place where everyone fits in regardless of age, body type, color, no matter if you’re gay, lesbian, trans, straight etc. Even on the busiest days and nights you won’t have any trouble getting served quickly. Nick, and Kimmy are top-notch bartenders! No matter how busy they are the drinks are served up quickly! I’ve never waited for a drink even during the busiest times. They have all types of events scheduled for the weekends and they have a monthly cocktail menu with a plethora of delicious drinks to choose from. One visit and you will see why it’s the one bar that’s consistently busy and why the other ones are failing.

Always a great time. Amazing staff. Great vibe. One of the best gay bars I've ever been too.

I've never eaten their food, but service is excellent! Bar tenders are friendly and the crowd/vibe energy is usually good.

Great smaller bar in Harrisburg that always has a nice crowd an offers a variety of different events. Service an atmosphere is always nice.

First time in town, checking out the local gay bars. This one…charges for music? Like nothing plays unless you pay for it. I’ve heard of paying to control the playlist, but if nobody pays it’s usually not silent. Here they hold you hostage in uncomfortable silence until someone pays. The manager sees another revenue stream. I see a reason to not return, especially since there are other gay bars in town. Owners should value dollars over pennies.

I heard great things about this place and was so excited to visit but ended up disappointed. I got a double vodka coke that I watched "vodka" be poured into but didn't have the slightest taste to it (stone cold sober btw.) I got another shot and poured it into my drink and only then was able to taste/smell a slight whiff of alcohol. Whatever, I ordered a white claw to get a standard pour. It was room temperature out of the cooler message received, I'm not welcome and will never come back.

There’s this Liberal Old Bartender Lady that works night shift on weekends that has been watching me like a hawk every time I go there. I always go to Brownstone alone ( unless I meet some friends there ) I like to dance alone and with other people, but today March 30th 2024 for their Easter party, the lady working at the bar screamed at me telling me I can’t dance at the bar when others are dancing at the bar. I went outside crying after that and decided I’m no longer in a mode for partying and went home early. Now I’m a regular at this bar and always been dancing around but whenever she here working she’s watching me the whole like I did something wrong. I’ve never done anything wrong. In fact st Patrick’s day weekend 2024, I was there and came with a small fan, and others had fans too. And was using it and that bartender didn’t like it. Would watch me evertime I use it. What is up with this lady, why can’t she just let me have a good time just like everyone else.
