We didn't really think much of it went about our day then at the end we had to walk back up to our car so we decided to find the art museum. We really just had to Google and saw it was less than a 5 minute walk, so we decided to give it a go. When we got their didn't realize it was also a bar, and the restaurant thought it was just a museum, so that was a nice surprise. They ask for a $5 donation or more to view the artwork if you'd like. There are many fun odd pieces to view. When we were about done the chef from the restaurant came over very nice guy, he showed us the hidden jazz club which was awesome!! He then walked us over to the restaurant. At the one table at the place, there was a clear wall, and you could see the spring going thru the restaurant. We decided not to eat. However, the menu did look very good, not huge, but still nice selection. We sat at the bar, chatted with a super nice bartender, and had some delicious drinks! There is also a parking lot and a small charming outside. I would for sure go back and eat it smelled delicious!!

Stood there for 10 min waiting to be seated. The bartender kept looking over at us and just restocking bar. No hey someone will be with you in a minute. Or feel free to seat yourselves. Due to the lack of interaction and interest by staff and lack of staff, it was clear that service was likely going to be poor and slow if anyone ever did come to seat us.

We sat inside but there a lot of seats outside too. The bar is very cool. Lots of different bourbons and whiskey. They also have a good choice of beer. I had a Vienna lager and a pilsner. Both very good and the right temperature. We started with the dill pickle bombs. Wow! I could have ate 200 of them. We shared the Wellington and the chicken Marsala sandwich. The Wellington was good but the chicken sandwich was great!! So much flavor. We had a warm brownie with ice cream for dessert. Our waitress Kayden was so nice and helpful. She always had a smile and was quick to get things for us. When we're back in Jim Thorpe we will stop in again.

A nice bar is also a seating option. Service was prompt and friendly. The rustic vibe of an old fire house is pretty cool. The drink menu has a nice selection of local PA craft beer and specialty cocktails. The food menu had a variety of offerings to choose from. We started off with the pickle balls, which were bits of pickle and cream cheese deep fried. The basket of fries with their house made smoked ketchup was good. Our group ordered sandwiches and were pleased. The Porchetta (pork, with cooper cheese) and the Rueben. All came with chips and a pickle. Everything was very flavorful and nice portion size. We will definitely return.

After having our GPS take us a ways around we got to Union Publik House and there were regulars in there already. There's a few tables and we were greeted warmly and since we were a group of five, took the larger table in the back by the kitchen. Our server was also friendly and helpful. He recommended the burgers but said just about everything we would order would be good and he was right. My wings were big and tasty, the burger we ordered was cooked as requested, the Ceasar salad was good but the chicken add-on was a bit overdone and dry, the other salad with add-on salmon was a nice big piece of fish that was quickly eaten, and the BBQ sandwich my kid had was gone in what seemed like seconds. We started with some mozzarella sticks which were fine, the pirogies were better than fine, and the homemade chips with salsa were also quickly eaten. Drinks were canned sodas at $3 each and I also had an unsweetened ice tea for the same price. I think you'll also like UPH for your lunch or dinner. We'd come back. $125 total including tax and tip for five people.

What a fantastic pub in historic Jim Thorpe, PA! Established in 1830 and connected to the iconic…read moreHotel Switzerland, Molly Maguires combines great food, friendly service, and plenty of local charm. The pub embraces the rich coal-region history that inspired its name, making it a perfect stop while exploring this beautiful mountain town. One of the highlights is their large covered outdoor deck, which is ideal for summer dining. Even better, they're prepared for every season--they can enclose the deck during rainy weather and have a heating system in place to keep guests comfortable during the colder months. The day we visited happened to be Trivia Day, which made for a lively and entertaining atmosphere. It's easy to see why both locals and visitors enjoy spending time here. The pub has a welcoming, laid-back vibe that's perfect whether you're stopping in for a meal, drinks with friends, or just taking a break from exploring town. We started with the Tater Kegs--oversized tater tots stuffed with bacon, cheddar cheese, and chives, served with zesty horseradish sauce and sour cream. They arrived piping hot, perfectly crispy, and absolutely delicious. A great appetizer to share. For entrées, I couldn't resist the Shepherd's Pie. Ground beef, onions, carrots, and peas are simmered in a rich gravy and topped with beautifully piped mashed potatoes baked until golden brown. It was hearty, comforting, and packed with flavor. We also ordered the Molly Maguire Burger loaded with peppers, mushrooms, onions, and bacon. I added pepper jack cheese, and it was definitely the right choice. Every bite was juicy, flavorful, and satisfying. A special shoutout to our server, Abbey, who was outstanding from start to finish. Not only was she attentive with drink refills and checking on us throughout the meal, but she also took the time to recommend other sights and attractions around Jim Thorpe. Her friendly personality and local knowledge made our visit even more enjoyable. Between the delicious food, fun atmosphere, historic setting, and exceptional service, Molly Maguires delivered a memorable experience. If you're visiting Jim Thorpe, do yourself a favor and stop in. And if you're lucky enough to have Abbey as your server, you're in for an even better experience!

I walked by earlier in the day, and thought it looked like a cozy stop. We have 2 young kids so the back patio was perfect, especially with some nice fall weather. My son ordered the mini cheeseburgers and he loved it. My daughter went with the quesadilla and she didn't totally love it. But it was because of the spicy black beans. I ordered the pulled pork sliders, and they were great. The restaurant ran out of fries so we all went with a side salad. My partner got the grilled steak. He's a steak snob but said it was really delicious. There was significant gristle on the steak, but our kids ate it up! We were glad this place was open. And our server was really friendly. We'd come back.

The aesthetic of this restaurant is very cool. Beyond that things went downhill pretty quickly…read more We walked in and were able to get seated no problem, however, we were seated downstairs, which is pretty tight in space and in a small corner they had a jazz band playing. The tables are pretty much right on top of the band because the space is so small given the bar. We could barely hear each other and eventually asked if there were seating upstairs because we kept seeing customers come up and down the staircase. The host said yes and was able to get us moved upstairs, which created a much better experience now that we could actually talk to each other. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and kindly. We ordered some alcoholic beverages, which were good and ordered some appetizers which were good as well. Here is where the two stars comes into play. One of their specials was a Dijon mustard sauce with mushrooms over chicken and rice. When the waiter had told us a specials, I thought I had heard him say it was sautéed. He had told us the specials downstairs with the music playing loudly, but apparently the chicken was prepared as grilled. (just to give context, grilled chicken or the taste of charcoal makes me nauseous.) When the dinner arrived, and I realized it was grilled, I spoke to the waiter and had said I'm very sorry but I thought you had said this was sautéed and he even said he may have made that mistake since he said it earlier to another table and that he would bring the meal down to the kitchen and have them fix the order with a sautéed chicken. About 20 minutes later after my friends had already finished their meals the chicken dinner was brought back to me. I noticed that the chicken was incredibly small maybe the size of half of my palm and the rice was disheveled. The green beans were cold and there was absolutely no mushroom sauce on the chicken despite the rice having it look like it did have sauce on it at one point. At this point, I was just hungry and said you know what it is what it is I did ask the waiter if I could please get the Dijon mustard sauce and he said "oh it's not on the chicken?" and I showed him the plate and he looked at the size of the chicken and seemed concerned like he also noticed that something was off. When he left, I went to cut up the chicken to eat and noticed a blackened part underneath, so I flipped the chicken over and surprise surprise. It was the same piece of chicken the chef had literally ripped the top half of the grilled chicken off, flipped it over, and sent it back out to me. I have never had anything like this happen to me in my life. I was so disgusted. I called the waiter over and he seemed horrified by what the chef had done. Again, he was very nice but to be fair It is your job as a waiter to check the dish before bringing it to the customer. I can't blame him for the unprofessionalism of that kitchen, but he should have looked at that and said this dish doesn't look right before serving it to me. He immediately grabbed the dish said I'm going into the kitchen to find out what just happened and asked if there was something else he could make and I said at this point, I don't trust anything that's going to come out of the kitchen. He was extremely apologetic told me he completely understood and he would also feel the same way. Eventually, an older woman came to the table. I believe it's the manager. She was very kind but began making excuses for the kitchen saying that was a new chef and they're trying new recipes and that this was all a new thing. Instead of just saying, I'm horrified that the chef did not make you a new meal and he will be talked to about our standards and thoroughly retrained. While I appreciated her apology It felt very flat given her list of excuses of why a chef at a restaurant charging $35 a meal would take a meal cooked incorrectly and tear half the meat apart and reserve it to a customer. They obviously took the meal off the check which is to be expected and is genuinely the bare minimum. She took off an iced tea, which was three dollars and my soup which was $10. I left hungry and disappointed. If you choose to frequent this restaurant and you see a band playing downstairs, I would automatically ask for the upstairs seating. If there is something made wrong with your meal expressed to your waiter that you would like it redone correctly and you're expecting an actual new meal if it cannot be.
