The Bears' Den

We visited the Bear's Den prior to the One Direction concert based on a friend's recommendation. We didn't enter the park as we were only there for the concert, so food options nearby on park premises were quite limited. Located in the Hershey Lodge just off-site, the Bear's Den is a Hershey Bears themed sports bar, but it is quite family friendly. Being huge hockey fans, this was a pretty cool concept to us.

Service was a bit slow, but the food was pretty good for "theme park"-esque food. I got the fried mozzarella and the buffalo chicken salad, both of which were generous portions and quite good for a quick bite. The buffalo sauce was quite hot, though I love it that way, and I couldn't eat much. However, it was over 90 degrees out and I was getting sick from the heat so that definitely played into why I didn't feel so hot - it definitely was NOT the food.

Overall it was a pretty cool place to visit while looking for somewhere to cool down and grab a nice bite of bar food prior to the concert. If I ever return to Hershey I wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

Chocolate Martinis for days...thats all I have to say.

My mom and I were on the hunt for a quality chocolate martini and I am beyond pleased that we ended up here.
My mom got the Classic Chocolate and I got the Chocolate Buzz. They were both really good but I preferred mine. The Classic is a bit stronger than the Buzz. They have the same amount of booze, just the Buzz is frozen. Both drinks came with a hidden kiss in them, I found that very cute.
You also get to keep the glass martini glass. It's a very nice glass and a wonderful souvenir. I was almost tempted to drink four of them so I would have a set!

I didn't have any of their food. They did give me popcorn though!

The drinks were $13.00 a piece but you do get to keep the glass, so I say it is well worth it.

One last thing, the more I sipped the more I started to worry about the transport of a dirty glass. I started to kind of panic a little as my tipsy mind thought about how silly I was going to look in the bathroom, scrubbing chocolate syrup out of a martini glass.

Good News! They bring you a clean glass before you go! :)

I went there for the 1st time the previous weekend and I knew what to expect due to friends going there. I went when a Caps game was on so the wait was longer then I wanted but I wanted to watch the game so I was OK with it. They gave us free popcorn while we waited. I had the Hershey Bears Cheese stake and it was just like in something out of Philly. I also got the tea that was flavored and it was pretty good. The fry's were well cooked. My girl friends was just a good as mine, she got a burger cooked EXACTLY like she wanted. I read some of the negative reviews and I do not get most of them. It's a sports bar, yes there is SPORTS BAR food. Yes its crowded and loud, ITS A SPORTS BAR. Yes you might have to wait..... people come to watch games because... wait for it... its a... SPORTS BAR. I enjoyed my experience there and would go back again. I am a Bears fan from out of state so it's really cool to see some of the old time memorabilia there.
