Fun outdoor club, no cover charge but they make that up with very high drink prices (small cups too). Music could have been better....unless they were having 90s night.....

Good lively outdoor bar option for Harrisburg. Good level of both security and friendly police to ensure no hassles

The weather has broke!! Great place to hang with friends or partner. Drinks special are decent. Gets pretty crowded. Plus the music is well-rounded for the age range of people. Good fun all around

The Inn place in Harrisburg to be on a Friday or Saturday night now on the other end of the spectrum during the weekdays depending on whether sometimes theyre open on Thursdays great bar great atmosphere outdoor great lights great music and affordable again on on the scale of affordability value for for Value the place is great how would I explain some of the fun large-scale drinking games without getting too deep here theyre pretty special Tuesday and Thursday night the 10 to have an attorney with lots of teams competing for a traditional type of game of beer pong accept using soccer balls and garbage cans pretty fun stop. Everything but youre not there for that high

Awesome bar, young crowd! Most of the crowd showed up around 11pm on Friday night. I give 3 stars because they dont give free water, which us absolutely illegal and ridiculous. They only give bottled water for $2, which is unbelievable for the most popular bar in Harrisburg. This fact alone turns me off to what could be a really fantastic bar.

The outside was great. Love the environment. The drink was weak. They short you on mixed drinks.Update: went back last night. The drinks are better. Josh made my Jack & Coke correctly (he wasnt the poor pourer). You should consider this place for your next night out on the town.

I went on a date there with a local Politician. The date could have been better, but thats on the man, not the place. The parking and the entrance are the reason I removed stars. I had to park 2 blocks away, at night, in a city Ive never been to before, in what felt like a pretty shady part of town. I didnt have any problems, but I didnt feel safe walking back and forth to my car. My date lived a block away in a different direction and frequents the place. Getting to and into the bar was the tough part. Once inside, the bar was pretty dead, and the service was excellent. Its a basic bar, quiet that night. Not much else to say about it since I was only there a short time.

The food is alright. The service is better then Aroogas. Plenty of skinheads to flirt with too.

If you want some fresh air and a slushie, you have Sawyers. Stand in a crowd of people thats not moving because the same playlist has been played for about 3+ summers that I believe by now shares the same playlist as the other known bars. I grabbed a Long Island from all 5 bars and they ALL tasted different, ESPECIALLY the one directly below the deck, that one was sour. Its very easy to get tired and bored of Sawyers. Better chances are going out of town for a nightlife.

Fun, good atmosphere. Enjoyed the huge beer pong situation just sucks they close it down part way through the night because it gets to busy

Great bartender but the DJ doesn’t play a good variety of songs. Just a little too much fist bumping music.

Its the perfect summer spot! Great Outdoors with good music. Atmosphere is really nice there is a little wait but not more than you would usually wait at bars or clubs. Overall 5 stars!

Review №24

Saturday nights are busy but I love it. Atmosphere is great. The only thing is that they could use some better music. If I wanted to listen to the same exact mainstream music thats on the radio, then I would turn on the radio! At least remix the music or give us some good danceable music.

If you like the wild crowd Id say go here. Pretty decent outdoor bar but they never have good music. People do seem to have fun but I could see it better if they changed a few things.

Review №32

Could not be more disgusted. I flew 3300 miles from Scotland to see my sister and reunite her with our elder sister after 15 years and subsequently visit my younger sisters (US citizen) favourite club only to have these words said to me upon presenting my British driving licence to the bouncer, at 37 years of age Thats not going to work HERE The fact that I am a British Citizen? I refuse to believe that a woman clearly of legal age would be refused with such aggression based on her origin and the fact that she is not a US citizen. I have enjoyed my visit here and I have experienced discrimination before as a traveller, but to be discriminated against because I am not American?? Unbelievable. I have been more welcomed in third world countries. Sorely disappointed that this has marred my visit and hope that this treatment of tourists does not spread. A blight on an otherwise wonderful city. Shameful.

The drinks are good but theyre so expensive. Giant pong was fun

Review №34

Very unfriendly bouncer who denied my sister visiting from the UK entry because she had her driving license as id and not a passport. Where on their website does it say you need a passport? Apparently her current and valid driving license isn’t acceptable because it’s not American. This is discrimination and extremely unfair. I do not recommend going here if you’re foreign or uninterested in possibly losing your passport.

They have a downstairs bar and a rooftop bar. Its outside but in the winter they put up large tents. Sawyers is always packed on Friday and Saturday. The bathrooms are rough but the general atmosphere is a party.

Usually holidays and weekends can be crowded. But great for the younger drinking crowd, although great places for all drinking ages. Outdoor drinking in the warmer months. Good place to have a lot of fun.

Review №48

I went here for my 21st, music was great but the staff wasnt. I went to the bar by the entrance (not in the diner) and of course I didnt know the names of any drinks, so I said have any suggestions? He shook his head and walked off.You also have to pay for water, which sucks. We had to wait about 10 minutes JUST to buy a bottle of water.If you are looking for something that feels like a high-school party, this is the place for you. If you want someplace sophisticated or calm, try a different place.

This place is EXTREMELY UNFRIENDLY to non US citizens. I brought my sisters here all the way from Scotland and they were RUDELY denied entry for not having a visa or passport. But they had drivers licenses and are clearly over 21. THIS PLACE IS DISCRIMINATORY! DONT GO HERE IF YOU’RE FOREIGN !

Review №77

Bartenders are often grumpy. Not their fault though.Managent doesnt seem to want to create a list of beers to show so they need to shout the list of beers every 2 minutes for several hours all weekend when a patron asks.Id be unhappy if I had to do that too. Its not efficient and its a pain for patrons.This issue has existed for several summers now across multiple bartenders.Great place for people watching, always packed.

Review №78

Terrible expirenece. Was having a decent time. Until I had to relive my self. Literally did nothing wrong. When I walked out of bathroom I was violently snatched by a angry security guard and ejected out. So moral of story if you have to go to bathroom or you are a male under 6 ft (cuz they wont pick on anyone bigger then them)do not go here or there is a chance of you being assaulted by a miserable staff member who has nothing better to do with his time.
