    Me and my girlfriend loved this place. Our waitress made our whole night and experience there. It…read morewas a small place that was pretty packed but we sat at the bar and had a great time. We found this place because I was looking for somewhere I could get a beer and walk out and around the town of Jim Thorpe (I believe they allow it here). But ended up staying for the vibes and plus we were super hungry. I wish I remembered our waitresses name but I believe she had pink in her hair. She allowed me and my girlfriend to sample some beers that she thought we would like because we were hesitant and what to order. We got the sangria sour beer and the white ale which were perfect for us. We also saw online that everyone loved the smash burger so we had to try it. We added truffle fries for 3 dollars which was so worth it. Some of the best fries we have ever had. Also I think we decided it was the best smash burger we have ever had. We both have never tried bacon jam and we were a bit hesitant about the pimento cheese as well. I think my favorite moment from this trip was sitting at the bar here and eating this meal. Plus the burger lived up to the hype. Thank you to the waitress we had you made our day!

    Local bar located on Broadway in Jim Thorpe. We stopped in for a drink before dinner. Bar was busy…read moreas they are one of only a handful of spots open on a Tuesday night. Bartender was friendly and fast. Decent beer menu and a nice coctail menu. They do serve food, though we didnt eat. Atmosphere...typical dark dive bar :) Street parking My rating rationale +1 Service + 1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality + 1 Presentation + .5 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value

    Rising River Brewing -- Relaxed Outdoor Spot with a Tropical Vibe is a nice place to visit,…read moreespecially if you're looking for somewhere to relax outdoors. They do a great job creating a tropical, laid-back atmosphere, with a tiki bar and a nice outdoor deck that really adds to the vibe. The beers and drinks tend to be on the lighter, fruitier side. There weren't any IPAs on tap during our visit, so if you're an IPA fan, the selection may be a little limited depending on the day. There was a food truck on-site, and we ordered sandwiches. Unfortunately, the food truck service took forever, and the sandwiches weren't exactly worthy of taking a picture of. Definitely not the highlight of the visit. There was also a band playing inside the bar area, which was a nice touch. Unfortunately, you couldn't really hear the music outside, so if you're sitting on the deck or in the yard, you wouldn't know there was live music happening inside. One thing I really liked is that the place is very family- and dog-friendly. Dogs are welcome throughout the yard, grassy areas, and even on the deck, which is a big plus for us. The family atmosphere is nice, although there were quite a few kids running around, jumping in the creek and throwing rocks, with what seemed like little to no parental supervision while they were in the water. That may be something to keep in mind depending on what kind of atmosphere you're looking for. Overall, it's a nice spot to grab a drink, hang outside, bring your dog, and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. The tropical outdoor setting is definitely the biggest draw. We'd come back for the atmosphere and drinks, but probably wouldn't make the trip specifically for the food.

But we tried two beers and we thought they were pretty bad. We didn't finish our beers. Fortunately, they had a bar, and we ordered cocktails, which were good. If they didn't have drinks we would have left. I wish these brew bars would also sell at least a couple of popular beers, in case people don't like their home brew. Cool place though.
