28 Best Pubs near Bethlehem

“I had a party for my son & his wife who eloped in Ireland back in May. I chose Red Stag for the atmosphere & I’m so glad I did. Ivan the head manager was very accommodating and let me decorate with whatever I wanted (balloon arch and all) the only hiccup was the USB didn’t work on the TV for me to show all the wedding pics in Ireland. They knocked off some of the bill. Josh the bartender was amazing. The drinks were flowing and we kept him really busy. The food was delish, bangers, grilled shrimp, chicken, wings, bread & salad. Apple crisp & sconuts for dessert were also delish. All and all I’m so glad I had my reception here.“

“The Gute is the best pub in town. GREAT grub. Family friendly. Sports fan heaven. PHENOMENAL staff. The best bang for the buck in the Lehigh Valley. Every town in America should have a place like The Gute. But only we do…😎“

“They have a nice setup, excellent dance floor with laser lighting and smoke machines, karaoke room, bar area with jukebox, and a patio out back. The only negative is that the DJs can be rather mid a lot of the time; there's often better dance music playing in the bar area, and the mixing is almost always terrible with all bass and no treble or mids.“

“Tight space bur I love sitting out back in the summer. The bartenders are attentive and kind! Sometimes it’s a lot there (vibe wise), especially with how loud the live music gets. But when the mood strikes, the Funhouse is a good time :) Drinks are pretty affordable too!“

“The food is surprisingly good for a pub, they have all the tasty beer foods as well as food that sounds tasty as hell when you're drunk. The place is loud especially at night, since all the locals come here to have a good time. They have board games, and pour heavy at night.“

“Joe's Tavern is a bar & grill located on W Broad St. in Bethlehem. They are open Mon - Tue 3PM - 12AM, Wed 3PM - 2AM, and Thu - Sun 11:30AM - 2AM.

My buddies and I stopped in for the first time last Thursday afternoon. The food was tasty, and the bartender was friendly and efficient.

The menu is small, but has all of your favorite bar eats; cheesesteaks, wings, burgers, sandwiches, etc. I ordered French onion soup, wings (sweet and sweaty/garlic Parmesan), and the onion mushroom & Swiss burger with garlic Parmesan fries.

The FOS was sweet and savory, the wings were crispy and flavorful, and the burger was juicy and well seasoned.

Joe's has indoor and outdoor seating. Pickup is available, but there is no delivery. Cash only.“

“I just happened to drive by the restaurant during dinner hour and noticed that the parking lot was filled, as compared to years ago. As a result, my interest was peeked and decided to Google them. Studied the online menu and decided to give them a try. Turns out we have a little Italian gem here in the Lehigh Valley. We have eaten at this warm, cozy restaurant three times in the last month. All three times the food was fresh and fabulous. The two front rooms are used for large group parties that I must keep in mind for in the future. The side rooms are cozy and rustic. Pasta and sauces are made fresh daily. Give a try - you will be impressed.“
