Great burger for sure. Old-school bar, plenty of locals and sports on TV. Cold beer, friendly smiles, and good service during my first and only visit. read more

Unfortunately I don't like writing bad reviews for small town businesses, especially one that's a staple for Hawley. But this is pretty bad to warrant a negative review. Tried to meet friends for drinks there, but The system they use does not scan out of state licenses or federal Identification. So although my husband both had his Real ID FL license and his military spouse ID, he was totally denied service, and was told he can't even be in the bar. Unfortunately they lost customers tonight because of it. While I understand PA licenses have to be scanned, it is a huge flaw that they don't scan any other ID's, especially those that you can even fly through airports and enter federal property with. For a town that relies heavily on tourism in the summertime, I feel that it's a massive flaw to not accept out of state licenses. read more

Took a motorcycle ride with a group of 8 on Labor Day and the restaurant we had chosen was closed. Pat's was close by so we gave it a shot. The bartender was very overwhelmed and a regular, who was not an employee, acted as our waitress. Burgers, hot dogs, bar pies, and chicken sandwiches. Not much on the menu but the burgers were good. The bar was full and all the tables were full so I won't give a bad rating although there were some hiccups. $74.50 for all of us (we got a little break because of the hiccups). If I'm in the area again, I'll give it another shot read more

What a great local "dive" bar. Very limited menus but when you have the best burger in PA you don't need much else! That said the grilled ham and cheese and grilled cheese were awesome. Oh , and I'd be remiss if I didn't encourage you to give the frozen Baileys shots a try - delightful. read more

Pat's is always a great stop . We seasonal camp in the area and make our way to Pat's a few times during the season. This local longtime establishment has great personality.The bartenders are always so nice . We love the burgers and what a great setup of cooking them right behind the bar. Pats fits in perfectly as a local stop in a great little town for a good lunch or dinner !! read more

Best burgers ever! Have been there a few times over the last few years and the burgers never disappoint!

Dive bar with a good selection of alcohol & a very basic menu. The thing to eat here is a burger. It's grilled right at the bar by the bartender & comes with the normal fixings. Was homemade and very good! Juicy! Wish I could have ordered fries or onion rings. We enjoyed stopping in, chatting with all the friendly people & our wonderful cheeseburger! read more

Great burger and friendly service. As we ordered takeout bar was filling up. Seemed like a friendly local bar. Burgers are the bomb!

Order the burger! You won't regret it!! Very cool little neighborhood bar, great bartender.

The diviest of dive bars! No frills and full of locals. Friendly atmosphere. Gambling machines and a pool table. Best part? The grill is barside, inexpensive, and delicious. Pat's will remain a go to every time Im in town... read more

I haven't left a review in years, but this time I simply have to. Our bartender was Kathy. 3 of us walked in, one of my friends who was somewhat drunk was cut off after his first drink, which I respect. She cut him off after his first drink which again, I respect. We hung out for another half an hour or so and me and my other friend had another drink without any issues, but upon leaving, our other friend who was cut off asks for a water. He's simply asking for a water to sober to a bit before we head out and well, it's just water. I've never seen a bartender say no to water but it finally happened. She goes "No, you are cut off, not serving you anymore" and I've never been denied water before. How do you deny water to a drunk person at the bar that you served minutes ago??? I can't believe this actually happened, but it did. Do with this info as you wish but this is 100% a real story. You're denying water to someone that you cut off before they were too drunk? Make it make sense. read more

On one of my many trips to Hawley, PA - my friend brought me to Pat's for a couple of games of pool and to experience one their infamous hamburgers. As you walk in, a pretty decent bar and an old fashioned juke box greets you. Towards the back is the pool table with some high top tables scattered about. Jeans, shorts, t-shirts and sweatshirts are the "dress code" here, there is definitely no dress to impress at Pat's. The burgers, well, let me say this, my pictures do them absolutely no justice. This is one incredibly delicious, monstrous burger with all the toppings and are made with Pat's "secret" seasonings, pure goodness in every bite. Without a doubt it's up there on my top 10 burger list. There is not a kitchen here - these burgers are made on an enclosed grill off to the side of the bar, I've never seen anything like it. There are some other selections such as pizza, grilled cheese, hotdogs, chicken sandwiches and others, but the burgers, pickles and potato chips served on paper plates is the way to go and what they're known for. Add a cold beer on tap to that and you've got the perfect lunch! I was loving everything about this place, this is country living at it's best. Pat's is a great place that is extremely popular with the locals and where you go to hang out and relax with friends, for hours. A head's up if you're a nonsmoker, like me - in Hawley there is no, "no smoking ban" so ashtrays are everywhere. This was something I had to get used to, but it didn't take very long. I will be going back to Pat's whenever I visit Hawley and it's something I'll always be looking forward to. read more

One of the best burgers I have ever had in my life and I love the friendly pub neighborhood bar atmosphere

We love this beautiful charming bar! People friendly and the bartender is friendly as well! The menu has few things on we have tired all of them they are amazing! We love the hotdogs and burger! It's very cozy and had positive vibe atmosphere! All their cherry shots are absolutely most! read more

Super unfortunate that my friends and I were not welcome into this establishment last night by the bartender. We think she must have just been having a bad night and took it out on us. We were just trying to have a fun night in town and she immediately rejected us and had the most unbelievably negative attitude! We even had a DD with us, I think she just thought too many of us were coming inside at one time. Needless to say, we will never go back!! Instead, we still had a fantastic time at Cora's (another nearby bar) and it will always be a funny memory now! read more

Would give less stars if I could! The female bartender was absolutely a nightmare - miserable from the moment we walked in. She provides such a shitty atmosphere we literally left immediately. Do better Pats - hire people who want to make money and not people who want to be miserable 24/7!!! Will NEVER go back!! read more

Best burgers ever!! We had such a good time in this bar! Very clean and very friendly locals!! We will be back!

The pluses are the burgers. My wife had one and she loved it. I had a grilled chicken and it was passable but no where near great. The staff was very friendly and made you feel like home. Prices were also positive. $16.00 for a burger ,grilled chicken, two bags of chips and two sodas. Now the negatives. Only one low table in the back next to tho pool table. All others are stools and high. Very limited menu with no sides like fries or any vegetarian options like salads. If your looking to drink lunch or drink in general, it's probably a great place to go because of the extremely happy and friendly staff. read more

Pat's Bar - The grill. - Bars Near Me - Hawley, Pennsylvania

PAT'S BAR... Hawley's #1 local place in town. The first time in Pat's was 1979...Yes nearly 40 years ago. Don't have a single problem any of their great food but I did have "a few" cocktails on more than one occasion. The a.m. locals gave us the once over "who are you? stare down". We were practically family when we left. The funny thing was that when we [my best buddy & I] went in the sun was coming up on the right. Went we were leaving, the sun was going down on the left??????????????? To Pat's owners and patrons: Don't ever change a thing. You are the last of Hawley's original sensational flare. [Settler's Inn don't count because they don't have a jute box or pool table] read more

The Burgers are awesome just don't dare get there close to closing time.....they won't cook if Kathleen is working. It is GREAT local flavor! The Burgers on the somewhat altered toaster oven that cooks better than most 5 Star Chef stoves are incredible. You won't believe it until you try. Don't allow the spartan atmosphere to impact your thoughts, They no longer allow smoking which is a huge plus! A must visit!!!! read more

It's your typical friendly small town gin mill with friendly bartenders and the BEST burgers in NEPA

This place is a neighborhood dive bar with tons of character. The burgers are to die for! They don't even come with fries but that's because they don't need them. So good! Love this place. Come and visit it when you are in town. read more

Love that burger! A great bar - with the perfect late night snacks. Great staff as well, always greeted with a smile.

"Pat's burgers the best in town!" Oh yeah! They got 2 thumbs up in my book. Last summer I treated a friend of mine to a "Pat's burger" and it was the 1st time she was ever there. Then I treated her and another friend and once again, we all enjoyed our burgers. Oh, and during the summer season you can't forget to ask to see if they have any of Pat's "famous garlic pickles"? On another occasion I had taken my father into Pat's bar so he can try one of their famous Pat's burgers. Omg, he was in his glory! I told him that Scott (my brother) keeps bragging about Byrne's bar hot wings, now we have something to brag about up here! read more

Insane burgers and community friendly atmosphere. Love this place. Don't miss the home made pickles!

My wife and I stopped in while visiting Woodloche for our anniversary. The bar tender was funny and talkative. Everyone in the place was a regular but after five minutes, you felt like you were part of the group!! We had to try a Pat's burger and it did not disappoint!! The place is a hold in wall but it was worth the trip! We will be back soon!! read more

We took our mother out for a few drinks, the bar is a wonderful throwback to a neighborhood spot! Burgers were delicious and the bartender was very sweet and very attentive she had lots of patrons and still managed to treat us like we were locals!!! This is a very highly recommended local treat!!!! We love the friendliness that is downtown Hawley!!!! Will be making many stops here! read more

This is truly a bar. Definitely the best burger in the area. In fact all they sell is pizza hotdogs and burgers. Bags of chips. But we come here often to get that delicious burger The burger I think is five dollars. and well well well worth it. The bartender and chef is very nice. If you're in the area and want a quick beer and burger this is the place. Definitely my kid friendly. A fun experience for sure. Also open late serving food late which is unique for the area. read more

LOVE Pat's. I've lived in town for many years. Great place to have a few cocktails, shoot some pool, listen to lotsa music and fill your belly. Hang out with some of our locals and be treated as one. Awesome atmosphere, clean bathrooms and not a speck of dust. If you are coming to the area, it's a must to visit. You won't be disappointed! read more

Great atmosphere, great value and superbly clean men's bathroom. I mean that, it is like stepping into a different place.

One of the best burgers ANYWHERE. For under $6 you'd be crazy not to stop. And grab a pint or two while you are there. The perfect American experience. read more

If you want the best burger in the poconos come down to our little town of hawley and head over and ask for a pats burger. Hang at the bar with the locals and have a great burger. Come on Friday night and tell Kathy that Desiree sent ya ;) she is the best and so is Bernie (the owner) read more

Great Bar, excellent service, and wonderful food! Great atmosphere, nice people. I really recommend this we'll run establishment!

I've told everyone I know, when they come to Hawley, they HAVE to have a Pat's Burger... they're THAT good. I've brought friends from as far as Florida, Iowa, West Virginia, even Canada there, and they all agree - their burgers are incredible. Pat's is also a great place to just 'sit and have a drink', too - two TV's at either end of the bar, which the bartender is always willing to change the channel if you desire. An internet-connected Jukebox with unlimited selections, a pool table in the back, dart board as well. Surrounding walls in the back are covered with huge framed collages of pictures of customers and employees, separated by year, sometimes during parties (holidays are fun here) sometimes just random candid shots. Makes for an interesting 'walk-around' as long as you don't get in the way of someone's pool game ;) The bartenders are always friendly and funny, most have a sarcastic and uplifting sense of humor and can 'hang with the best' when it comes to conversations about basically anything. They're all quite experienced in mixology (yes, that's a thing) and as long as you're not asking for a whole case of bottles of Johnny Blue, there's not much they don't have there. Basically, a draft beer (Yuengling is always on tap, of course), a bottle of 'Bud', or a Jack & Coke (RIP Lemmy) is most likely to be seen. If you're looking for a bar to relax in, find some good conversation, have an incredible burger, and possibly get a history lesson about Hawley from some of the locals, this is your place. I go there as often as I can, usually for happy hour, and always leave in a better mood than when I walked in. :) If ya go, have a Pat's burger - and tell 'em I sent ya. read more
