I visited The Great Lost Bear and it turned out to be a delightful experience. The eclectic decor sets a casual yet trendy vibe, perfect for unwinding. We tried the homemade jalapeño poppers, which were fresh and spicy - definitely a must! For mains, we shared the PB&J Bird and a massive cheesesteak; you won’t leave hungry here! The draft beer selection really stood out, offering great local choices. I'll surely return to explore more of this cozy spot soon! 🍻
