Cocktails are amazing, inventive and delicious. Bartenders are welcoming and make a good drink. Lots of food options next to the bar. Absolutely one of the best places to enjoy a drink in Lancaster!

Located inside Southern Market this bar is the anchor inside "the food court". There are 30ish seats around this rectangle shaped bar with a TV on each long side. Large array of liquors that they use to make elevated cocktails (and can make your old stand by too). Always have 6 drafts (local/PA based), some canned options and wine too! While they don't have the regular domestics beers the staff gives recommendations and you can ask for a small sample! There are always solid cocktails and they can also create ones based on your taste (please only request this if it's not prime time hours/slammed). They also host trivia and music trivia weekly with $1 off draft beer and wine!

I don't know where Lancaster is getting its cocktail artists from, but Jesus Christ. Every time I come here I am significantly impressed. Between this place and hi fi, just wow. My bf and I have been to the the most "highly rated" cocktail bars in DC AND NY and they don't even come close to this. Be super proud of what you do and continue doing it. I love Lancaster so much.

The drinks here are an absolute 11/10. The best cocktails I’ve had in Lancaster. The most knowledgeable bartenders. Best cocktail creations.

Bar staff was super friendly, kind, and good at their job! Got seated and served on a Friday night quickly and had a drink in my hand within minutes. Would recommend!

This drink is amazing, combines whiskey and cinnamon....a perfect combination to end the weekend. And of course, Bar 1888 staff never disappoint, they are knowledgeable about the drinks and provide excellent recommendations and are always friendly.

One of the more surprising details about Lancaster is that you can get very high-quality cocktails here. The best place to do so is Bar 1888. Perched in the center of City Market South, you can grab food from one of the dozen-or-so diverse food stands and then settle in for an often rotating, inventive cocktail list...often including esoteric flavors and ingredients (salted tomatillo syrup for the win). One of my favorite stops in downtown Lancaster.

This is the bar in the middle of Southern Market in Lancaster. The bartenders here are quick and good. They really know how to mix a drink. The selection of beers are limited, all craft, all I had were very good. The garnishes on the drinks were fresh. This was a pretty busy place for 8pm on a Wednesday night. Very enjoyable experience.

Came to Southern market for lunch and ate at the bar. Ordered a hard cider and a vodka soda. Was amazing. We had a great time eating and hanging out here. Excellent service.
