23 Best Cocktail Bars near Allentown

“An excellent place to eat. The food, service and atmosphere were all terrific.“

“I recently stopped by Youell’s Oyster House for happyhour, and it turned out to be a great choice. Their happy hour menu is solid and well-priced, especially for seafood.
The Happy Hour Crab Cocktail, Steamed Clams, and Tuna Tartare were all $11 each, which is a really good value considering the quality you typically expect from a long-established seafood place. The selection felt fresh, simple, and flavorful, perfect for a light seafood spread.
For drinks, the Espresso Martini and Blood Orange cocktail were both $10. They were balanced, not overly sweet.
The overall total came out to around $55 for two people during happy hour, which is very reasonable. Service was quick, and the atmosphere is exactly what you’d expect from a classic oyster house—casual but polished.
If you enjoy seafood, happy hour deals, and good cocktails, this spot is definitely worth a visit.“

“I have eaten here several times and always have had an amazing experience. But if you need a place to host a private event go to Tacos y Tequila in Allentown. My friends and I threw one of our best friends a surprise birthday party and Tacos y Tequila went above and beyond. Edriana was my organizer she was so helpful especially with my 100 questions ?. Brandon is the manager he was so kind and attentive. We had two amazing servers by the name of Jose and Kayla. They were so kind and I hope to get them as servers again in the future. The food of course was amazing. They set a menu for you and your guest and everyone enjoyed everything. Their mojitos are also amazing. I definitely will use their services again.“

“My review is a little mixed but overall more positive than negative. The atmosphere is great and everything was very comfortable and clean. The waitstaff were amazing and very friendly. My partner and I went for apps and drinks and the food was really good! We had the poblano chicken dip and the pierogis with short ribs and both were excellent!!! My only negative were the drinks. I had the “Apple Bottom Jeans” rum cocktail and it was a play on an Apple mule but what I got was a massive mouthful of grated ginger and lime. It was really unpleasant. My boyfriend got the “Are We There Yeti” which is bourbon based but it was so sour from the lemon that we couldn’t taste any of the vanilla maple bourbon flavor. Each drink was $15 and for that price, I would hope for really balanced drinks. I would go back, definitely for the food but I’ll be really cautious about getting any drinks that have strong flavors like lemon or ginger.“

“We love the young energy and chill vibes of Emmaus’s own version of Cheers. Brian Kidd brought his own unique blend of punk, rock, and pop to a lively audience that stole the show from the performer with their far-out dance moves and unabashed merry-making. A great time was had by all, as per usual at this family-owned local business that always strives to add to the sense of belonging and jois de vivre of this vibrant community.“

“Great atmosphere and good people“

“I had a wonderful experience my waitress was the BEST. Ask for Gianna“

“Went here for drinks with my bestie, the service from everyone was exceptional, super kind and friendly. Was skeptical of food because i can be a bit picky and didn’t really plan to eat, however the food was actually WAY better than I was expecting. My burger was cooked to perfection, the mac and cheese was TO DIE FOR. (Whoever made that cheese sauce needs a raise) if you need a good place to stop or can’t find a spot to eat, check out this place! 9/10“

“very nice free entertainment with great bands however when a large crowd is there no tables can be reserved or even are available to sit at. it should be in a larger area of the casino.“

“My best Friday night restaurant! Food is awesome.“

“I love the “Deck” because I can bring my dog and they welcome dogs. Service is always good and the food always is tasty“

“I’m a lover of food. The vodka sauce is the best in the valley hands down!!!!“

“Excellent service, delicious food! Had the short rain ravioli, French onion soup dumplings, crab cakes and the steak on a stone, all excellent! Cocktails are made with their house infusions, they have some really interesting drinks, fig and fennel bourbon, really top notch.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at ZEST on 2-22-25. It started at the bar with Travis & Justine. Very friendly, attentive, and welcoming bartenders. They explained the drink and dinner menu and answered our questions. Our server for dinner was Emily and she was amazing! Friendly and attentive not only to us, but to the tables around us! She made sure drinks were refilled and that we received fresh cutlery when our entrees arrived. We were very pleased and will be back again! Thank you ZEST!“

“Ugh we had a drunk birthday group next to us and could barely hear each other speak. It put a damper on the evening but I guess I should have expected this being in with a casino. The service was fantastic. Relaxed but attentive. The food was all delicious and prepared perfectly. Overall a lovely evening.“

“We went for lunch. They have a nice lunch menu but I went for the duck ramen special. It was so good! They know how to cook duck. And they were very accommodating of my mother in law's picky palate. Great experience for a special occasion“

“Very Good food with fast delivery !!! Great setting indoors and good energy! Definitely will return again and I recommend this restaurant to everyone. Shout out to our waitress Kayla.. Great job 🙏🏾“
