Family-Owned Bar & Grill · Hershey, PA
Parkside Hotel is a longtime family-owned bar and grill on East Derry Road in Hershey, PA — pub classics, beers on tap, and a wall of TVs, right across from Hersheypark and an easy stop between the parks and the I-81 corridor.
Our take Parkside Hotel sits across from Hersheypark, right along the route between Hershey and the I-81 corridor — an easy pull-off to unwind with a beer and a bite. If the car acts up on the way back north, our shop is at Exit 80 in Grantville.
Despite the name, Parkside Hotel is a neighborhood bar and grill, not a lodging hotel — and it has been family-owned on East Derry Road for more than three decades. The kitchen sticks to pub favorites done well: wings in a handful of sauces, loaded fries, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and a sandwich lineup that includes a dependable Philly cheesesteak. There's a full bar with several taps and a long list of bottled beers, plus enough flatscreens to catch whatever game is on. It sits directly across from Hersheypark, so it draws a mix of locals who've been coming for years and visitors who'd rather skip the theme-park dining lines.
The appeal here is consistency rather than flash. This is the kind of casual spot where you can wind down after a concert at the Giant Center, a day at Chocolate World, or an afternoon walking the park, without committing to a formal sit-down meal. It typically keeps a relaxed weekday pace and a livelier crowd on weekend evenings. Because it's a bar-forward room, the atmosphere skews adult later in the night, though the kitchen and casual layout make earlier hours comfortable for a quick, honest meal.
Generally closed Mondays and open Tuesday–Sunday from late morning, with later weekend hours, as of our last check; the official site lists the grill at roughly 11 AM–9 PM Tuesday–Thursday and Sunday and 11 AM–11 PM Friday–Saturday. Bar and kitchen times can differ and change seasonally, so call ahead or confirm current hours before a special trip.

Yes — it's set up for it, with multiple flatscreens and a full bar. Getting there near opening usually means better seating close to the screens on a busy game day.
It's a bar-forward room, so the atmosphere leans more adult on weekend evenings. Earlier weekday lunch and dinner hours tend to be the more relaxed window for a casual family meal — call ahead if you want to confirm.
