Iberian Lounge

Amazing! You have to stop in for the atmosphere...

This is basically a bar located inside the Hershey Hotel. They do offer a few items to dine on. Once you sit down, a tray of chocolate covered pretzels and chocolate covered nuts are delivered. Beer and wine list are not extensive, but they do offer quite a few chocolate drinks. The Peanut Butter Martini was quite different and appealing. Apparently they have entertainment on Saturdays only. There are a couple TVs to watch. The lit fireplace adds quite ambiance during the winter months.

I've been to the Iberian Lounge numerous times and this time was by far the least impressive.  It is a nice place to get away from the madness of Hershey Park and enjoy a drink in the afternoon as all the tired young children filter out of the park.

We took the shuttle over from the Park to the Hotel and the Iberian Lounge is tucked away on the 2nd floor in a dark room.  During the holidays the room is decorated gorgeously and the fireplace crackles but in this visit is was very plain but still nice.

We ordered drinks and they do have an extensive drink menu but do not have Red Bull or any energy drinks.  We ordered food and then were notified it would be a 45 minutes wait...yes, after we ordered.  Obviously if I had somewhere to be I would have been upset but instead I just tipped back a few more gluten-free beers and waiting for my food to arrive.  It honestly didn't take 45 minutes but the food came out bland.  This isn't a place for fine dining and you can't order off the other restaurant's menu even though that is the kitchen that makes the food.

I would recommend the IL if you are tired of the park, need to sit down in a quiet setting, need a cocktail, and don't want to eat park food.  Other than that this is not a destination that I would go out of my way to recommend.
