This is always our first stop when visiting New Hope. Friendly staff & patrons. Cold beer, the food is very good. Nice casual bar. My husband's pork sandwich was delicious as was my turkey club. read more

I was here last Sunday night for a show. Such a cool place to see a show. I will let you know that it is small. Small as in very small. I was glad it was off season so we got a parking spot right near the entrance. After some confusion as to where to go, we realized that the large door to go into the music venue inside the bar area, was closed. We were told that after sound check they'd open the doors to let ticket holders in. We decided since we were extra early, to order some food. We sat in one of the two booths in the bar area. I had chicken fingers and fries and my boyfriend got the cheesesteak. All of the food was good! read more

NEW HOPE, PA: John And Peter's is famous for being a music club for over 50 years and they are also a restaurant with an outdoor patio that is dog friendly! With the eye-catching colors of the building and the Best Burger in Town banner, we were drawn right in to have dinner and we were happy to see another dog enjoying the day with their owner and even a pet ferret was a special guest with their family. Rocking an old-school and divey ambience, this place was popular on a chilly day with many people enjoying the large food menu, full bar, and colorful characters. With the area of New Hope becoming more upscale, this place is keeping going by doing what they do best, by keeping the bohemian spirit of New Hope going. read more

John & Peter's - Even Hawk liked his !!! - Bars Near Me - New Hope, Pennsylvania

I would live to give this place a 5 because the food is great, the live music is always a treat, the service is excellent. but the seating and tables are sooooo uncomfortable it's hard to enjoy everything else. they really need to put some money into the seating. I am sure it would payoff big time in the return of customers and people willing to stay a little longer to drink. read more

It was fine. I really like the beer. Specifically the bud lite. Great crew. Love you boys read more

John & Peter's - Social life - Bars Near Me - New Hope, Pennsylvania

Iykyk. Best spot for live music between Philly and New York. Food. Music. Vibes. Love all around.

Stopped by today with my husband for a drink and ended up staying almost 3 hours sitting at the bar. Drinks and food were a 10/10. You would never think a hole in the wall type spot would have great food but we were pleasantly surprised at how awesome the food was. The bartender who told us his nick name was pumpkin was just wonderful and extremely personable and fun to talk to. My husband and I cannot wait to go back again. read more

I must've passed this bar 89 million times as I strolled through New Hope. This particular warm spring day, hubby and I did not want to wait around for a table to open at Fran's and wanted to get a drink and some food outside. So, we sat at John & Peter's outside section which is surprisingly cute, and do not be fooled, is much larger toward the back. I always see people tight in that front area smoking, but there are tables and fans in the back! As for food, sadly we were told the kitchen had over an hour wait, so we were unable to eat anything right away (whomp, whomp), but we waited around and finally got a burger and a ruben. The ruben was super awesome, way better than a regular cheeseburger (do not be fooled by that big best burger in town sign up front). The tator tots were also super crunchy and perfect - so yay to all that goodness. As for drinks, I went against my better judgement and ordered a margarita at a dive bar, and was not disappointed at all. The margarita was solid, and paired with a corona, it was even better! Our waiter and bartender were super cool and came by to check on us regularly. I look forward to adding this place as one of our regular spots in New Hope. read more

Avoid a wait at the more popular places and take a seat outside at John & Peter's. It's a casual stop for drinks and bar food. They were out of Turkey burgers today so I went with a veggie burger, and I'm glad I did. The Pattie's had an outer layer of crunch and I was happy I added caramelizadme onions. Burgers come with chips instead of fries, but you can choose to change that for an extra couple of dollars. If you head inside, you may run into some live music. Overall a low key place to escape the heat for a bit as you enjoy New Hope. read more

I stopped in for a burger my first time in 20 year, the place has not changed, same old John & Peter's that I remembered Friendly staff good food , hands down Best burgers in New Hope ! read more

I am 99% sure that John & Peter's is not counting on their Cheesesteak business. A guy was wearing a 'Tattooed Mom ' t-shirt. I can see John & Peter's being the 'Tattooed Mom' of New Hope. If you're in New Hope and your want to go where the locals go and you're hungry for a cheesesteak, John and Peter's is the place for you. read more

Whatever you do do not eat here, plenty of better options in town, the kitchen area is filthy- check the health code violations for yourself. Also if you do choose to patronize this place don't drink the drafts as the taps are not clean. read more

John & Peter's - BBQ Pulled Pork Tater Tots - Bars Near Me - New Hope, Pennsylvania

Just had lunch and the food was awful. Chicken wings were frozen, pickle chips were burnt and greasy and all of the remaining food was tasteless and greasy. Don't waste your time or money in this establishment. Gave them one star because there was nothing below.​ read more

Absolutely fantastic after a night of drinking. MARGARITAS ARE STRONG but welcome ;) read more

Live music every night? Really? REALLY! Such a fun place! I was greeted exclusively by the singer on stage and everyone gave me a round of applause for arriving! And this was a common theme of the night. So much applause for everyone and all the great music and fun environment. Just so much fun loving togetherness. I mean wow! Didn't even taste much of the menu. It's just the environment itself that could make up for even the most disastrous cooking. I tried Fried pickles and G&T. Good times! read more

This place is epic! We started our anniversary trip here! The booze are so yummy and the food portions are out of this world! We should have shared a burger but we are so happy with everything we got. YOU MUST ORDER THE NACHO TATOR TOTS. Just wow! read more

Great place!! Love the service and people. Highly recommended to visit whether during the day or an evening for music.

this no-good, no-nonsense nook is the most wonderfully worn, tattered and torn treasure in new hope's hairy, bedazzled chest - a magical cavern bubbling with debauchery, loyalty & bubbly; where humble hedonists go to slurp the fuckballz out of life (with causal abandon). show it your unadorned love and alcoholic affection, and if it loves you back, congratulations - you are a mad-decent, dope-as-fuck motherfucker. Just like us. read more

Passing through town and landed here a couple of times; kept coming back because it was a much more casual and divey (in a good way) atmosphere than a lot of the surrounding places. The inside is a dark, cool, low-ceiling older bar with cool stained glass art. There is a small exterior patio with shade. Dogs seem to be welcome. Excellent bartenders. Recommended if you like dive bars with character! read more

We stumbled upon this great little dive bar and were treated to some of the best rock 'n' roll music we've heard in a long time. A little venue reminded me of days long past when you could just walk in and listen to music anywhere but that's not the case these days. Anyway they have good food pub food burgers chicken wings and great beers and siders we really enjoyed it.. and will be back! read more

Fantastic bar in New Hope. Saw Eddie Pepitone for a comedy show there, service from staff was excellent.

Best bar in town. Good food, music, priced and friendly staff. Open late as well. Wednesdays are a must after 9 for the best music night in the area read more

First time for us... A nice spot to grab a drink and munchie on a summer afternoon. Not crowded at all, except for the 3 guys having a great time at the bar. We had Margaritas (not very good at all) and Magic Hats along with a couple of appetizers. The deep fried pickles with dipping sauce were excellent (thanks for the tip, Mike) and the potstickers were just okay. We'll have to give it another try next time we are in town. read more

Walking through New Hope looking for a place with a good burger menu came across this little hole in the wall bar with patio and decided to try it out. The onion rings were fabulous with a large serving for just $5! But the burgers were fabulous, one of the best burgers I've had! I love build your own burgers cause they make it jut the way you like it! My husband got bacon cheese burger and the bacon was perfectly crispy unlike most places never cook the bacon well enough! The sautéed onion & mushrooms on mine were great!! The inside is a small the pub and the bathrooms are tiny but do the job, there was a stage inside so I assume they have live music some nights also. It's a small little bar like place but with a great burger & that's the really important part! The waitress was great & friendly too! Would definitely visit again when in the mood for a great burger! :) read more

This is an ICON of New Hope. Small intimate bar with great entertainment. Not bad bar food. Truly an experience!

John & Peter's Place in New Hope is one of my favorite dive bars to goto. They frequently have some great bands on their calendar. One of my favorite bands "Rainbow Fresh" often performs here. http://www.rainbowfreshmusic.com/ I saw them perform twice in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and luckily enough without any notice or knowledge, they were performing at John & Peter's when we came to New Hope. They perform some really good original music and they also play a Led Zep song or two during their performances. I still have one of their old albums in my car. As for John & Peter's. Food and drinks are well priced compared to every other joint on Main St. Their portions are quite large. The bartenders are really friendly. I wish their restroom could be a little cleaner and better air ventilation. Other than that, it's a fun place to be in New Hope. read more

I forgot what it was like to be in a place that has a menu and still allows smoking. It was like one of those what's wrong with this picture games. We walked in and instantly I noticed ashtrays and I was like, "Oh, that's quaint. They haven't removed those yet." Then you sit down and all of a sudden smoke rolls over you and you look at your cell phone clock and see that the year is in fact 2008 and not 1981. Then you turn to your friend and have a discussion about how only Philadelphia has the smoking ban in effect. So there's smoking. If you can deal with it while you eat, keep on reading... The food (I had a sandwich) was surprisingly good and the sweet potato fries were good as well. The service was just fine, but that was because the place wasn't very full on a lazy Saturday afternoon. While at the bar, the bar tender and the server for the lower floor were smoking in between handling food. Doctors used to smoke in the operating room; I'm sure it doesn't hurt around food. The ceiling is very low and the lighting has that brown orange hue of dive bars from the 1980s that were coming off just being bars during the 1970s. I guess what really sets this place apart is the live music. Normally it supposed to be full and the acts that come through are really great. So, all in all, if you can tolerate smoke, this place has some tasty food, draft beer, full bar, and a pleasant atmosphere to be with a group of people. read more

Gotta love J&P's: the EPITOME of dive bar. But as divey as it is, the talent that walks through John and Peter's is far from it. I've seen some amazing gigs there, from spontaneous acts that walk on stage for their Monday night open mic to pretty swinging bands over the weekend. Musicians like George Thorogood, Norah Jones, WEEN, Tiny Tim (lolz), have all called J&P's home at one point or another. Even talents such as Penn & Teller have left hand prints on John & Pete's heart. As for food, service, and prices -- John & Peter's is pretty standard. $5 cover if there is live entertainment, although open mic nights are free (donation bins make their rounds however), and a basic beer/drink is essentially $4. The servers/bartenders there feel like old friends and rest assured, they'll be asking you if you want another drink before you actually NEED another drink. Yep, just like old friends. I do suggest seating in John and Peter's outside area if you can. Inside is like a sauna filled with second-hand smoke and mind you, I am one of those polluters. Yet regardless of harmful inhalations, outside simply makes more sense: a) fresh air b) more room, and c) QUICKER DRINK ACCESS. The only downside is that you cannot see or hear the live entertainment. Damn you catch 22's!! read more

John and Peter's is the classic dive bar - dark, small, strong drinks, cheap prices. No need to dress to impress. The side patio/bar is a great place to hang and people watch in the warmer months. I've only eaten here a couple of times, I'm usually here for the beverages. The only negative is the smoking. read more

How is it not ILLEGAL to sell 'pints' of beer in a 12oz plastic cup???? YOU ARE RIPPING PEOPLE OFF!!! The lack of proper management is apparent from the way they short change the customer at every opportunity. $10 for a burger, and they served it on the cheapest paper plate possible. We were shocked. REALLY? 50 cent up charge for a 4oz container of salsa. Wouldn't have asked for it if I knew. Also, the waiter was stoned. Never again. read more

The greatest bar known to man! I spent many a drunken night enjoying the lovely atmosphere here. The 6 foot ceilings help hold in the smokey must(it's in PA, so, yeah, you can still smoke inside). The blood, sweat, and tears of local and touring bands over the past 25 years line the walls, as well as their show poster. Live music 365 days a year, this place has given rise to such great acts from Ween to Johnny's Dance Band to Penn and Teller to Birdie Num Num and the Spirit Squad. So, let the Jameson drown and the Yeungling chase your blues away, and you'll be okay at John and Peter's. read more

One of the best dive bars I have ever been to! Located right next to the swankiest NYC wanna-be dance party, this 6-ft tall ceilinged hole in the wall has the friendliest and most helpful waiter ever, good prices on imported beers and the most willing to talk about any type of shit you want clientele. I didn't want to leave this place and I think it would be pretty easy to get laid here. read more
