Murder Mystery: Central Hotel

Murder Mystery Dinners at Bube’s Brewery are hosted in the Alois Restaurant in the original tavern/hotel building that is part of our historic brewery complex. Nearly all 19th century breweries had a tavern at the brewery, and our facility fortunately has the original tavern with dining rooms, a barroom, a ballroom, and even lodging rooms upstairs. The atmosphere is much like a fine Victorian home of the late 1800’s. The lavishly hand-stenciled walls, the original oak bar, the deep colors and ornate decor in what was the genesis of the restaurant here at Bube’s Brewery looks like the sort of place you would expect a mystery dinner to happen in, so we brought the idea to life.

The dinner begins with a few light appetizers available in the original bar room as you arrive. The original bar is set up for service (beers from our microbrewery are available as well as liquor, wine, soda, and commercial beers). When dinner begins, a salad is waiting on your table as you sit down. (‘Action’ occurs between courses, some will hear it and some won’t, hopefully those interested will discuss it). Next, a soup course is served, followed by the main course. Beef and chicken, along with bowls of vegetables and rice and a sauce are served family style in much the same way food would have been served in our restaurant in 1879. Dinner concludes with dessert.

Join Alois and his wife Mrs. Bube at the grand opening of The Central Hotel. All the citizens of Mount Joy have turned out for this event. Mayor Sager, Cyrus Wittle and even Anna Steward Rhodes have made their way to celebrate this historic event. But not all is well, for old grudges and new intrigue are also guests at this event. Step back in time to visit actual historic characters of the brewery’s past. Enjoy an evening of fun, murder, mystery with a glass of Mr. Bube’s beer.
