    This review is for drinks only. We had checked out the Christmas City Spirits bottle shop, but they don't do tastings, and sent us here to try their spirits. The Tavern is in the same building but up a few flights of stairs. It's quaint but welcoming and feels like you want a tavern to feel. Scotty was our bartender and he was amazing. So friendly and he makes awesome drinks. My boyfriend ordered two of the Mountain Old-Fashioneds, which were fantastic. I ordered a flight of the Christmas City Spirits, trying the Cider House Blend, Cherry Bounce (a cherry infused liqueur), and the Cherry Blossom (a lighter version of the bounce). I loved both cherry liqueurs (not surprising, given my love of ginja), but was obviously disappointed that the Blossom was misleadingly named, as it is not cherry blossom. I still really enjoyed it though, as my second drink was the Cherry Blossom Margarita, which was light and refreshing. I recommend anyone in the area come here for drinks. It's a fun time with a fun bartender.

    I'm reviewing this from a bar stand point- I'd love to come back and try food. However, this was an amazing little find that i wouldn't have thought to try in Bethlehem. The service was quick and so friendly. Atmosphere is so cozy. Espresso martinis were amazing as well as the whiskey drink i tried. I'll definitely be back!

    Five stars might not be enough for this place. You feel like a lot of Inn is true relics of the past. Just visiting for the ambiance and decor is worth it. But then they have a great bartender, Scotty, who is just amazing. He makes you feel like an old friend and serves great drinks. If we didn't have an agenda for the day, I felt like we could've spent all day there. The drinks made were some of the best I've had. This place is now a must go every time I am in the Lehigh Valley.

    Wonderful service from Scott and Destiny. Salt of the earth! The food was delicious and fresh ! Sweet historical building. Of course it's a treat to eat somewhere that George Washington and John Adams enjoyed. They also have a museum as spirits shop. it's nice to look around all the historical stuff. I ordered a chicken pot pie and it was hot and freshen. Amazing delicious ! My bff got a Beef Wellington. Delicious!! Our table, split a pumpkin soup, mushroom toast, and spinach salad with beets . Everything was marvelous. I would definitely return

    The soft pretzel is huge!

    We were surprised to be seated in the dining room for dinner on St Pat's weekend. Lots of bar noise but that's ok. The service was exceptional and they checked in often. We were a bit disappointed with the soft pretzel which was a little stale. The BLT sandwich and the salad were good but nothing wowed like like in the past. We think it might have been due to the holiday.

    We ordered a salted pretzel. It shouldn't be described as a pretzel with salt. It should be called salt with a little bit of pretzel because I could taste nothing but SALT. I could feel my blood pressure skyrocketing from the sodium. Had to scrape off all the salt in order to eat it but the dipping sauces were good once the salt was removed. My burger was great. I don't normally order greens with a burger, but the only other option was the hard tiny kiddy pretzels. You'd expect fries or something but the sides were a little odd. Alcoholic slushy. Always a fan of alcoholic slushies and this was another one of them - a wine slushy. Outside seating and when you use the bathroom you enter the museum and can see a lot of George Washington-related facts/artifacts. Service: 4/5 Food: 5/5 Ambience: 5/5

    I discovered this charming pub while visiting Bethlehem (otherwise known as Christmas City USA)…read moreduring the recent holiday season. The space was lively, yet cozy. First time I visited was for lunch. As soon as I saw the menu, I knew I needed to order the Wild Scotch Egg (difficult to find). I also had the half portion of Fish and Chips. The Wild Scotch Egg consisted of hard boiled egg and sausage, which was panko fried, sitting on Guinness fondue and crisp arugula, topped with Parmesan crisps. I really enjoyed this. The outer breading was light and satisfyingly crispy, while the egg and sausage interior was expertly cooked, tender and well seasoned. Cheesy fondue sauce was rich and creamy. Parmesan crisp was a nice, tasty touch. The beer battered Fish and Chips were also yummy. Fish was succulent, perfectly flaky and flavorful, while the Steak Fries were wonderfully crunchy, full of true potato taste. I knew I needed to return in order to try the Sticky Toffee Pudding, one of my all time favorite desserts. This was served warm, with Earl Grey tea date sponge cake, paired with sweet sticky toffee sauce and clotted cream. So deliciously mouthwatering and decadent! Service was good. The waiter was warm and easy to talk with. Everything came out in a timely manner. Prices were quite reasonable. I'm glad I came across this place to have my fill of some British classics!

    This spot is cute and the service was friendly and attentive…read more The food was terrible. Burger was inedible (the meat tasted old). The wings were char flavored. The roast beef was chewy and just gross. I'm assuming if you are a few drinks deep, you don't notice how bad the food is because there is no reason for this place to be four stars.

    Super disappointing this was our first time here and we wont be back. Came in around 5 after a day…read morewith the family. There were no tables and one couple at the bar. We waited more than 10 minutes to be greeted by our server (Jenni). She brought glasses, silverware, and plates but took no drink order or appetizer. The server stood ar the bar and talked to other employees for almost 20 minutes before she went to greet the one other table that had been seated during that time. She still never returned to take our order. TLDR: We were there more than 40 minutes spoke to our server 1 time had no order taken and we were the only table in the place upon entry

The prices were high for what we got, especially the drinks. I paid $15 for a glass of wine that wasn't even filled halfway, which felt pretty disappointing. I ordered the turkey BLT and wasn't impressed, and the fries were confusing--three different kinds mixed together and not much of a portion. My husband's wedge salad with grilled chicken was actually tasty, and the pierogies were probably the best part of the meal. One frustrating part was that I specifically asked for the pierogies to come out before our entrées, but they ended up arriving after we were already served. The restaurant wasn't busy at all, so I'm not sure how that happened. The place looks cool from the outside and was convenient for where we were going, but overall the experience didn't live up to expectations. With so many other options nearby, I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

It is definitely a college town bar (I'm in my early 50's). The bartender was prompt and took our drink orders right away. The cook is right in front of you at the bar which is kind of cool. You could tell by speaking with him that he took pride in their menu. He let us sample some of the sauces which was great. I had the special of the day which was a grilled tomato/bacon cheese on Texas toast and a tomato soup with rice, ground beef, onions and peppers. It was fantastic! I also had the Cowboy bites which were jalapeños with cream cheese, bacon and corn - my goodness they were so good! My bro had the "what came first". Fried chicken sandwich with a fried egg and bacon. It came with fries and he said it was really good. My husband had Tri-tip cheese steak with no mushrooms. He said it was delicious. We were there on our own time without a schedule, so we didn't mind having to wait for our bartender. It started getting busy while we were there so the vibe was pretty cool.

You walk in, you are at the bar area,But, there is a hostess stand there if you are interested in grabbing a booth to order food. Which is what we have always done and is what we will now never do again because service from this 1 particular shorter waitress is awful. After she dropped our food to the table we didn't see her for an hour despite trying our best to flag her down and asking the other waitress to get her for us so we could have our bill. The owner was working harder than this waitress collecting our empty dishes,asked us if we needed anything, cleaning tables( our waitress removed a used empty glass when she seated us) and I have no clue where she went or what she was doing that while time that she failed to see if everything was okay, we needed anything/refills or were ready to the check. Instead, since my daughter is a regular, she gave us a tip to sit at the bar and order food. Service is much better. Every time we've gone there the food has always been good. This time I got a chicken philly cheesesteak and it was delicious also! Can't say much about the crowd. It's definitely a spot for the younger groups to hang out since the college is so close. The bad thing about that is that they don't respect you at your booth if you are in one just for food. They stand right in front of your table in groups talking and you have zero privacy and it's actually a bit suffocating. When they finally did all move for a moment, I could finally feel the air circulation. This was only around 5:30pm. Service- still awful Food- great Atmosphere- depends what you're looking for
