UPDATE: The owner mentioned below was professional and kind enough to reach out in an attempt to…read moremake things right. He asked us to give him a second chance, and we were willing to do so. We stopped by and had a great conversation - turns out it was largely a misunderstanding but he was still more than willing to self-reflect, apologize and let us know that we were always welcome here. He also let us know that one of their goals as a business is to be open and welcoming to EVERYBODY. They definitely proved that to be true this time around and we've definitely found our new place to walk to and bring our friends! While we had a FANTASTIC experience our first time here, when we came back around 5pm this past Monday (7/26/2021), it was the complete opposite. We sat at the bar, had some delicious beer, and the bartender was lovely. Then one of the owners came behind the bar and started chatting with a man two seats down from my fiancée and I. They started spouting off about a whole host of controversial topics quite loudly, but what really killed the vibe was when the owner said "those f***ing f***ots" loud enough for the whole bar to hear. My fiancée and I are a queer couple and felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome.

If you're super-organized, Seven Sirens Bethlehem is a decent value, but don't expect the level of…read moreservice you see at The Blendery in Easton. Our 100 guests brought in huge bar revenue on a holiday weekend while keeping the space open to the public, yet we felt like an unwanted burden. Bait-and-Switch Pricing: I laid out a very basic party plan that was much more like a birthday than a wedding, and Rob gave me a quote. Hours after agreeing to the price and securing our date, he called back claiming his "partner" said they couldn't do a "wedding" for that price, raising it by several hundred dollars with no other explanation or change in my basic plan. Nickel-and-Diming: Rob initially pitched add-ons like a chocolate fountain and a coffee bar - I loved both ideas until it turned out they'd cost more than my caterer charged for our whole dinner service. In hindsight, I have no idea where he would have even put these in the space we were given. He also wanted to charge $150 to set out 10 centerpieces, $150 for servers, and extra fees for tables he wasn't even sure if he had. I declined and found help with these things elsewhere. Lost Payments (DO NOT PAY CASH): I dropped off my 50% deposit check on June 25 (cleared July 1). Rob confirmed by text that he had received it. On Aug 10, Rob texted (in the same text thread) asking if I had ever paid a deposit or sent the contract. I had to text him a photo of the cleared check because he also forgot the amount. Ignored Messages & Sarcasm: A week before the wedding, Rob read my FB message and texts across two days with zero response. I had to ask my DJ to nudge him (they're friends). When Rob finally called back, he was sarcastic and hid behind being "off." A simple "I'm off, I'll call Friday" would have sufficed. Music Caps: Rob wasn't sure he could accommodate my request to play some Greek music for my family between dinner and the DJ starting, claiming it "impeded normal operations." When he finally agreed, he capped it to 15 minutes. If you've ever been to Seven Sirens on a Saturday evening, you know there's never much going on before 8pm; not sure why this was even an issue when I was renting out the space and providing a normal DJ & karaoke for the remainder of everyone's entertainment. Dirty Venue: When I arrived to decorate a couple hours before the reception, the tables and seats were dirty. I had to wipe them down myself (in my wedding hair & makeup) and remove a messy extension cord left across the booths where my guests would be eating. They also failed to set up our 4 catering tables. The poor single bartender on duty was completely uninformed and had to haul heavy tables out by herself. Mid-Reception Interruptions: The first time I ever met Rob was while I was trying to enjoy dinner with my guests. He interrupted to say I could play my Greek music after all because--exactly as I'd predicted--there were no outside patrons there anyway. By then, dealing with music logistics wasn't something I wanted to manage mid-reception, and so I said 'forget it.' He also asked how I was going to pay the remaining balance, and I had to inform him that his bar manager already received my check the night before. The Bright Spots: Bar Staff: The bar manager, Sam, and the bartenders were fantastic and kept the many tabs for all our guests very well-managed. We're still trying to figure out how one couple ended up with a $400 tab for only two of them, but we think they stuck to their signage that you'll buy the bar a round if you don't close your tab before you leave (they returned to retrieve their forgotten credit card the next day). DJ Dave Waldron: Their preferred DJ was amazing and made our party a fantastic time. Bottom Line: Management misplaces financial records, leaves the space dirty, dumps setup on single bar staff, and nickel-and-dimes clients. I have screenshots and photos to back up my statements if management wants to try and dispute this review. Look elsewhere in the Lehigh Valley if you want a stress-free event that you don't have to micromanage.

Remnants of what enabled the American Dream!…read more The ruins of the Bethlehem Steel blast furnace is nearly 10 acres with the highest point over 230 feet! It has morphed into a venue for events. During my mid-September, 26 mid-week visit, it was largely empty. There was a setup happening for a brew event but I was able to drive and walk around. There is an elevated 1650 feet long public walkway along some of the blast furnace. I had a limited time so it was a quick 1/2 hour visit. Although the structures have deteriorated and become ruins, I'm glad this BS blast furnace(s) is repurposed. It's an Americana of the second industrial revolution that provided the American Dreams for so many for over a century. This plant closed in 1995 and the steel from here built the Golden Gate Bridge, the Chrysler Building, Madison Square Garden and the Hoover Dam. It's difficult to capture how massive, historic and magnificent this place is without physically being present! Enjoy!

It was a bit of a maze to find the parking lot (thankfully, FREE), but after that I had a quiet afternoon enjoying the SteelStacks. One of the suggestions I got was to enjoy the walkway --- which is an elevated path along the side of the ol' steel factory. It's odd to walk by a factory that in its glory days had 100's of workers, to now being visited by tourist in a solace stroll. In any case, it's always great to see the birthing place of the steel that has given us so many iconic US landmarks, i.e., like the Chrysler Building and the Golden Gate Bridge.

That was all very enjoyable. We have some specific needs so our not-so-great experience might have been fine in different circumstances. When traveling we need either two adjoining rooms or a suite with a door on the bedroom because one of us has extreme sensitivity to the sound of snoring (and of course the other of us snores). For that reason we chose the Hotel Bethlehem's Suites at 462, across the street from the main hotel. We got the smallest suite, which ran over $500 a night with fees and taxes. I mention the price because it was by far the most expensive hotel of our trip to Pennsylvania which naturally raises expectations, so my review is a little more critical than it might ordinarily be. First, the walls were paper thin. Not just in the suite but between suites. We could hear someone in the adjacent suite snoring loudly. The hotel provided a cot to use in the living room and the cot was truly horrible - all metal bars and lumpy springs. Neither of us got any sleep and we ended up getting an additional room at the Hyatt up the street so we could each sleep in a bed. At the prices they charge, surely a modern and comfortable mattress on the cot shouldn't be beyond the hotel's budget? As for my fussiness based on the room price - there were no amenities like shampoo, conditioner, or body wash. Only a small mirror over the bathroom sink, so dressing for something formal is guesswork. A really crappy coffee maker that only worked with weird packets of unpalatable coffee. Small things that were shabby or didn't work, like lights that flickered, office style drop ceiling panels that slammed loudly when opening the bedroom door. I was unimpressed and very unhappy that we needed to get a second hotel room just to get some sleep. They never asked how our stay was or I would have told them these things in person. I'm not inclined to stay here again, nor would I recommend the place, no matter how grand or historic the lobby is.
