Horse Inn

Come in and jump back in time. We are the oldest consecutively running restaurant in Lancaster city
Slightly off the beaten path, the Horse Inn restaurant has spent several generations striving to please its guests in Lancaster, PA. The main entrance was at one time on a narrow alleyway which, to this day, remains unnamed. In the early 1920s, the Shaub family renovated the second floor hayloft into a speakeasy. The original horse stalls were transported upstairs where wagon wheel chandeliers adorn the dining room. The new owners of the Horse Inn, Matt and Starla Russell, have made several improvements to both the building and the menu. There are now two full bars and seating areas and a new, more accessible entrance on Fulton Street. Daily fresh ingredients and the use of local sources are crucial to Matt and Starla, who change the menu based on what is garden-fresh and in season. Don't worry; the infamous tenderloin tips on toast remain on the menu. The rich, brilliant dishes and one-of-a-kind cocktails will make you feel right at home.

Appleton Estate Signature Rum, Jerk Shrub, Allspice Dram, Lime, Tiki Bitters, Aqua Faba
A savory fall forward daiquiri for y’all! This one is just funky enough. Slightly spicy. We love a daiquiri around here and this one is a fun addition to that world.
We make a delicious shrub in house with local tomatoes, green onion, cilantro, habaneros, ginger, and lime. A touch of allspice dram sets off fall flavors and depth. Appleton Signature as always provides a warm run anchor.
Don’t miss it!

Gemelli
Italian Sausage, Broccoli Rabe, Calabrian Chili, Parmesan Cream
A seasonal-transitional pasta dish just hit the menu. As the seasons change and jump back and forth between cooler and warmer days it creates an interesting challenge for restaurants to bridge that gap with dishes that feel warm and comforting but retain a bit of lightness. This dish does that perfectly.
Come try some!

{ The Wanderer }
Barrel Aged Novo Fogo Cachaca, Blackberry & Sage Shrub,
5yr Madeira Gin, Lemon, Orange Bitters
We love cachaca around here. Put some age on it and it becomes something even more unique and versatile. Pairs perfectly with dark rich blackberries and aromatic sage. Madeira (often underused in cocktails) adds richness and depth.
Come try one!
