Shady McGrady's

Fantastic beer selection!  Best in the area.  The bar gets a bit smokey, but the beer makes up for it.  The crowd is generally friendly and the bartender is patient with people who aren't familiar with all of the beers.  The prices aren't cheap, but the quality is great.  Definitely a place to check out!

In a vacuum, I would have to give this place four stars. But I feel the need to review it against the other great happy hour spots in the area which takes it down a star. I just don't see the point in going here if I can go to Anthony's Micro Pub on 2nd, for a few reasons:

- Anthony's serves free pizza, Shady's doesn't.
- Shady's is extremely smoky, Anthony's isn't.
- Anthony's has great bartenders, Shady's doesn't.
- Shady's has restrictions on which beers are half priced during happy hour, Anthony's doesn't (Except for DFH 120).

I've enjoyed myself when I've been here, but I just don't see going anymore when I can go to Anthony's for the above reasons.

Love the beer selection. Service can be a bit slow but the bartenders are fairly friendly and helpful with the beer. Contrary to what another poster on here wrote- this is exactly what Harrisburg has needed, a relatively low key bar with GREAT beer. If you want cheap beer, there's a number of bars downtown but if you are a true beer person, like I am, this is def a place to go. Minus one star for it being smokey but other than that no complaints.
