Fast and friendly service, good draft selection, great comfort food
We have been going to this place for awhile but since under new ownership it is terrible. The food was horrible quality, over cooked quesadilla, frozen quality appetizers and steak sandwich sent back. The waitress was awesome BUT she was the bartender, hostess and server. Long wait for drinks, since no bartender the mix drinks were not right and very weak. The owners need to re think there staffing, hire a hostess and some bartenders so the poor waitresses won’t be running around like crazy. Will not be returning.
Maddi , Sydney, Gabby, and Alexis gave phenomenal service and I will definitely be coming back with the boys. Had an amazing time and the food and drinks were fantastic! They are the best! :) Best bar in PA... you need to attend!
I am so disappointed, this place use to be a 5!!! Hopefully they can get it back to what it use to be. I tried calling 3 times to place a to go order and nobody answered. I thought they must be busy so we decided to go dine in. When we pulled up there were 3 tables full, the place was empty! I ordered a cheesesteak the waitress said we may be out I heard earlier we had 1 left. She came back and they were out so I got a taco salad. The meat was burnt, the shell was the best part. I was asked if I wanted salsa, I got cocktail sauce. My husband and daughter ordered a chicken sandwich and fries. The waitress came back, we're out of fries, so they both got pierogies. The pierogies were soggy and black from being burnt when they were sautéed. Again, very disappointed.
The owners allow their friends behind the bar during working hours to sexually harass the staff.
Long wait times for delivery drivers. Seems like they don’t actually know or care that you are there waiting. I been here waiting for a simple item a sandwich for 30+ minutes. Think before you accept a delivery from this restaurant
Terrific spot that we just starting visiting. The menu is interesting. You can get the basics but they have some fun spins on classics. Nice atmosphere both inside and out. Friendly staff. It's gonna be a neighborhood bar for us.
The food was good... if you get it. Understaffing is a problem which is understandable. The complete lack of communication isn't understandable. The owners or managers walk around blind to what's going on, and it's a true shame. The potential of this place is magnificent, and to let it go to waste is a shame. A bad experience can happen to anyone. After several experiences it becomes a bad habit. There is one server with dreads who knows what he's doing. He's the one benefit.
Definitely one of the best places in Bethlehem. food can take a while to come due to the two man kitchen but they have a vast amount of craft beers to try from that change every time I stop in to keep me busy while I wait for the amazing food!!
Honestly not a great experience. Our server barely acknowledged us and I was charged for drinks I never even got because they sat there long enough that I asked for the bill and paid before we got them (upon paying the server said "oh yeah.. They're sitting over there.") I understand that sometimes people have bad days bit we were a respectful group of people willing to drink and spend money in a place that wasn't crowded and we still didn't get good service.

Food took over 2 hours to come to our table. Multiple tables who sat down an hour after us got their food, ate and left before we received our food. Once we finallygot the food the fish and chips was inedible. The batter was tasteless and falling off the fish. And the fish itself was so horribly overcooked and mushy it disintegrated in my mouth. It was definitely frozen fish that was near freezer burned. The staff was nice but both the servers and managers offered nothing but an apology to compensate for the negative experience.
We came in for an early Sunday lunch. The table ordered the hamburger loaded and the gnocchi and chicken. Our server was friendly and made an outstanding old fashion. The burger was cooked perfectly and very tasty. The gnocchi and chicken was amazing. Honestly, the most tender and juicy chicken I ever had. The chef, Axel, was nice enough to tell us what he does to make the chicken so tender and juicy. The gnocchi was in a sherry gravy that was so delicious.I live in Philly. 21 Crafthouse is worth the drive.
Food was great before the pandemic. I went back recently and was totally disappointed. The won-ton nachos are no longer on the menu because the new cook doesn't want to cook them. Our meal consisted of fried calamari which were chewy because they were over cooked. My pulled pork tacos were on corn tacos that were not cooked or charred and made will dried pull pork. Taste like cornmeal and lettuce. The one star is for great waitress service.
Had to wait 20 minutes to get seated with visibly open tables, and another 15 minutes to even place an order. Drink selection was alright, food left something to be desired. If you're in the area and in the mood for comfort food and good beer, drive the extra mile or so and go to Fegleys on Main Street.
GREAT place to enjoy a GOOD meal,GREAT Customer service and a GREAT time!!! Just go there once and I'll guarantee you you'll go back again!!! Bartenders are excellent!!
