Chill Out: 5 Reasons To Visit The Ice Cream Bar a Decades
We’re ready for warm weather and frozen treats!
Make a plan to visit the Ice Cream Bar—a seasonal outdoor ice cream shop and dining area in front of Decades (retro arcade, restaurant, bowling alley, bar, and events venue) in downtown Lancaster, PA.
Here’s 5 reasons to stop by!
1 - Housemade & Classic Ice Cream
Enjoy classic ice cream flavors from Kreider Farms including cookies and cream, chocolate, mint chocolate chip, espresso caramel swirl, and more.
Also try our flavors we make in-house including Coindexter Crunch—a Cap’n Crunch cereal inspired treat, and Chillin’ With My Peeps—a white chocolate ice cream swirled with Cadbuy Egg and PEEPs candy pieces.
2 - Boozy Treats
Explore our lineup of boozy treats including a Chocolate Screwball Milkshake or Tequila Strawberry Milkshake (among other flavors!). Or try a Boozy Toasted Coconut Root Beer Float for a spiked twist on the classic. We also added a new for 2026 Iced Irish Coffee (iced coffee with Irish Whiskey).
3 - Cocktails & Beer
The Ice Cream Bar is more than just ice cream—it also features a great array of boozy beverages. From Espresso Martinis and our Decades Cocktail Pouches, to canned Shifty cocktails and beer on tap, there’s nothing like sipping a cool beverage under the summer sun.
4 - Frozen Favorites
Chill out with delicious Mango Sorbet, or grab one of our new special features like the Death By Chocolate Sundae and the Nutter Butter Ice Cream Sandwich. And don’t miss our fan-favorite Joe’s Famous Ice Cream Sandwich featuring two toasted Uncrustables with your choice of ice cream.
5 - Outdoor Dining
The full Decades restaurant menu is also available outside at the Ice Cream Bar! That means you can enjoy a wide range of savory food favorites like our classic burgers and sandwiches, or our popular fried soft pretzel bites and Decades mac n’ cheese egg rolls.
