Barley Creek Taproom in the Pocono Premium Outlets is a refreshing upgrade from standard mall food…read morecourt fare. The limited menu centers on straightforward, easy-to-eat sandwiches and highly customizable flatbread pizzas, all complemented by the signature adult beverages brewed or distilled by the Barley Creek organization. The ambiance is decidedly casual and built for hanging out, featuring plenty of TVs tuned to sports and Pennsylvania lottery games, a couple of arcade games, a foosball table, and cornhole boards that make stopping by more of an experience than just a quick meal. For food, I opted for the chicken salad varietal of the Deli Sandwich ($12), served with lettuce and tomato on rustic white toast alongside potato chips, while my dining companion went with the tuna salad varietal of the Deli Sandwich. Both of us thought our basic sandwiches were well executed. I also took advantage of the Sunday Happy Hour from 12pm til 3pm and ordered a half-price pint of the Barley Creek Navigator Gold beer, a easy-drinking American blonde/golden ale that's very similar to Budweiser's flagship brew. The food and beer hit the spot for a casual lunch, but the service kept this from being a top-notch experience. Our server was noticeably stretched thin managing multiple tables plus a full bar. Basic details fell through the cracks -- I had get up and physically chase her down to ask for silverware and ended up with just a single fork delivered by another server. Payment was another bottleneck: after another server dropped the check, I was left standing awkwardly at the register for a few minutes while the service team juggled the other dining parties. All in all, it's a solid 3-star spot for the family-friendly vibe and solid food -- just be prepared for potential lulls in service when they're busy.

If this had been my first escape experience, I would probably have liked it better, as I think the…read moreparts of the concept itself are good. The live actors were a plus/minus for me - having the "Mad Hatter" in the room the whole time made me self-conscious. Turns out, my family members felt the same way. There were some clever clues, but TBH, simply figuring out how to open multiple boxes was not all that fun. I much prefer a variety of puzzles. There were very few items that could be manipulated, so that also subtracted from the fun. The decor was very cool & the atmosphere a bit creepy, so that was good. There was a great surprise in the solution, which I won't divulge. Sorry to say, I don't recommend it unless your favorite type of puzzle is number & letter combination locks.

We enjoyed our drinks ~ espresso martini & orange crust. The bacon wrapped scallops are a meal (under appetizers) and my husband really enjoyed the pierogies sautéed with butter and onion.

My husband got the fish wrap and was very happy. All in all, this place is about 40 minutes from home & could be a new favorite destination.

Library Lounge at Skytop Lodge feels like stepping back in time in the best possible way…read more From the moment you walk in, everything slows down. Dim lighting, big comfortable leather chairs, bookshelves lining the walls, a fully stocked bar, and historic photos throughout the space create a classic lodge vibe that feels timeless without being stuffy. It is cozy, polished, and incredibly relaxing. The staff is knowledgeable and clearly takes pride in what they serve. The craft cocktails are well made and thoughtful, and if you prefer beer, there are solid options there too. As a bourbon lover, I especially enjoyed their private barrel pick served neat, a real treat and easily a standout pour. This is a perfect pre-dinner or post-evening stop, we have done both, and it works beautifully either way. Dress is slightly casual but leans upscale, and while pricing is a bit higher than average, it feels completely worth it for the setting, quality, and experience. We sank into the chairs, talked story with friends, and lost track of time, which really says it all. If you are anywhere near Skytop Lodge, make sure this is on your list. Plan extra time, you will want to linger.

The martinis were great, some not as advertised for example one said it would be served with gummy bears but there weren't any so it was slightly less fun to drink. Music is fun and random people would be singing around the bar to themselves. The burgers were fantastic and served quickly- I recommend both the Cajun and Swiss bourbon burgers with the crispy fries. They get you in with one free drink per stay at the hotel. There are a few large games to play like connect 4 and foosball as well.

I'm not certain, she could've been the only one waiting in any tables at the time, although there were not many. We kind of felt that she did not really want us there or she was really distracted. The food was good & her service was not enough to have us not give it another try. The set up is as expected in pub style. We would give it another try.

The mozzarella sticks, the wings and the Philly cheesesteak were great. 5 stars to the Chef! Besides the service, this was a good place. If not, go to Chili's, they don't mind the drink.

If you're…read morecelebrating an occasion or would like to have a special dinner without leaving the premises, or just want a nightcap (it's open all day for breakfast/lunch/dinner, and dinner is served until 9pm but the bar is open til 11), this is the one to go for. The food is fine, nothing to write home about but decent enough. If I were on the "outside" I'd expect better quality for the fare, but it's resort pricing, so you kinda have to expect a bit of upcharge, but it's not unreasonable. My steak was cooked a perfect medium rare but it's not the most tender and rather tasteless so I had to load it with salt and the aioli it came with. Fries were great though. Cornbread was a little dry. Turkey sandwich was tasty if somewhat salty. The grilled shrimp in the pasta alfredo was perfect. Service is excellent however and our waiter Nick was lovely. Food came out quickly and all the staff are very courteous and helpful. 3-3.5 but bumping to 4 for the overall pleasant experience and the nice atmosphere, and for the convenience of not having to leave GWL (and lose our good parking spot lol).

Overall, the service was pretty good for how large our party was. The waitress was constantly checking to make sure we got all our orders. The food was average, more saltier than what would like it but we didn't expect too much from it, it is still the more preferable option for me and my party. After a long day we were just very hungry. Our group of kids even went to for the out to dance party that is right outside while some parents were still eating so it was nice that they didn't rush us or anything but it also didn't seem as busy in the restaurant. I would recommend for huge groups, don't use the GW app to reserve and instead go in person to put in the reservation.
