Brewery · Hershey, PA
Rotunda Brew Pub is Hershey's only brewpub, pouring house beers from the Rotunda family brewery on Chocolate Avenue — a locally owned alternative to chain restaurants that's worth knowing about whether you're visiting or you live nearby.
The Rotunda brothers — Mike, Dave, and Lou — built something worth pointing people toward. What started as a bottle shop in Annville grew into a full brewery and restaurant there, and then into a second location on Chocolate Ave in Hershey that they rebranded as the Brew Pub. The Hershey location pours beers brewed by their own operation in Annville, which means the tap list is genuinely house-made and changes with what's brewing. For a street that has no shortage of national chains, a family-run brewpub with its own beer program stands out. We especially like sending visitors here because it gives them a taste of something local alongside whatever else they're doing in the Hershey area.
The Rotunda family has been in the beer business in Annville since 2005, when Rotunda Restaurant & Brewery opened downtown. The Hershey brewpub — formerly Irv's Pub at the same address — joined the family in late 2019. Beer brewed in Annville travels to Hershey for the Brew Pub taps, creating a connected operation across two Lebanon County communities. The Hershey location bills itself as the town's first and only brewpub, and it's held that distinction since it opened.
Open year-round. Confirmed hours: Monday–Thursday 11:00 am–10:00 pm, Friday–Saturday 11:00 am–10:30 pm, Sunday 10:00 am–8:00 pm (Sunday brunch service). Verify current hours before visiting, especially on holidays.
814 E Chocolate Ave, Hershey, PA 17033
That's how they bill themselves — Hershey's first and only brewpub — and it checks out. If you want house-brewed beer paired with a full restaurant menu in the Hershey area itself, Rotunda Brew Pub is the spot.
The beer comes from Rotunda Brewing Co. in downtown Annville, where the family has operated a brewery and restaurant since 2005. The Hershey Brew Pub is the second location, serving the Annville brewery's beers alongside its own pub food menu.
Yes — Sunday hours start at 10:00 am, which covers a brunch window before the regular menu takes over. It's a good option if you're in the area on a Sunday morning after a weekend visit.
Rotunda Brew Pub is an independent local business we're featuring in our guide — we're not affiliated. Details are from the business and public sources and were accurate at the time of writing; please confirm current hours before visiting.
