EPISODE #38

Reliance Mine Saloon

Release Date: November 4, 2026

Guest: Paul Witt and Nathan Mares

In this episode of the Destination Gettysburg podcast, Rick sits down with Paul Witt and Nathan Mares to explore the history and unique charm of the Reliance Mine Saloon in Gettysburg. Founded in 1974 after converting a dark, windowless former hotel meeting room, the saloon embraces its distinct underground setting through an authentic coal mine aesthetic.

When visiting, you enter through a timber-framed mine shaft hallway adorned with historic photographs and genuine mining equipment sourced from Pennsylvania coal country.

Operating without an in-house kitchen, the saloon welcomes you to bring your own food or have local pizza and takeout delivered straight down the mine entrance. Enjoy it with an extensive, rotating selection of craft whiskeys and bourbons.
