Maybe the best happy hour in Allentown. Stopped by on a Friday with my family and got a ton of appetizers and drinks all for 50% off. The wings were a highlight. Coconut shrimp was good. French onion pierogis sounded better than they tasted.
The fish and chips was tasty and unique in that it was served as the whole fish. It was also breaded lighter than most, which I preferred.

Love this place! The owner is so accommodating. We brought a large party bus there and they accommodated us with no issues. The bartenders and waitresses were beyond efficient and sweet. The beers were cold. The drinks were quick and the food was great. Loved this place.
