36 Best Bars near Emmaus

“My family and I recently reserved a private room for a special party we were having for our mother. We were extremely pleased with the staff, Pam and Frank. They went above and beyond to be sure everything was to our satisfaction. We were so happy how we were treated and we had the best waitress that was assigned to take care of our entire party. She was amazing and extremely friendly to everyone. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience.“

“We had a breakfast Birthday for my 81 year old dad. We all had a very good breakfast. There was 11 of us, and our waitress was excellent!! Thank youKid-friendliness: My 3 year old granddaughter had to give our waitress the money, she was very nice to her?“

“I like the place. They dealt with COVID restrictions with a lot of class and extraordinary amount of patience, because let's face it, COVID, at the beginning, was confusing and it was visibly hard on those that work there. I don't live in the area anymore, I got the hell out of dodge, but it was an open and friendly environment and staff tried to make it welcoming. I probably will never return to the area again but it is good to know that the concept of a dive or motorcycle bar can exist in 2020s.“

“I'm a good paying customer here since I turned 21. Always will be a local watering hole for me. Friendly staff. Good food. Great environment. Tons of Tvs for game day. Smoking side of the bar seperate from non smoking if you want to rip some darts, smoke a cigar or vape in heat or air conditioning without being in the weather. All in all nice chill spot.“

“Great food, but if you take out BE AWARE they charge 4% credit card charge. Not sure if this applies for dine in. Shocked to learn this as I picked up the food, especially when they never gave me the total so I was cash short. 4 % cc fee seems very high!“

“Probably THE.BEST.BREAKFAST I have had in a very long time. The saltiness of the halloumi with the creamy, perfect poached egg and freshness of the pesto was a match made in heaven. And honestly, that is saying a lot for me, because I am not a huge breakfast fan, but I would hands down order this again, and again and again. I don't have much else to say. Out waitress was great. We didn't have a reservation (which I don't recommend on the weekend... this place is POP.U.LAR) but the hostess gave us a table if we could be done in 75 minutes, in time for an 11:45 AM seating. Despite that, they did not rush us. The place does appear to be a neighborhood haunt, just about everyone who came through the door seemed to know, what I presume is the owner or manager, as well as the staff. So there was definitely a nice, casual vibe to the place. I honestly need to come back for dinner, if breakfast, a meal I generally don't care about was this good, what other surprises await?!?“

“It was my first time there,the vibes were nice , you could smoke inside if you like. There was a nice crowd of people and karaoke going on , drinks price are decent price and the bartender, we're fast in making drinks. I would visit again.“

“My man & I were visiting over the weekend & had dinner here Sat evening. Robert was our waiter & he was great! He was attentive & had a great personality. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms for appetizer. He ordered a bacon burger & I ordered the Chicken Caesar BLT. We enjoyed the food & atmosphere so much we returned on Sunday for lunch prior to heading back home. We sat at the bar & Jevelin was the bartender. She was friendly & welcoming. My man ordered the jalapeño poppers & I ordered the crab-cake sliders for appetizers. He ordered the cheese steak & I ordered the Cali chicken sandwich for our meal.Quality food cooked well! We will definitely eat here again whenever we are in the area again!“

“Everything from the extensive fine wines to the deletable appetizers to the mouth watering entrees is excellent. Topping off dinner was their homemade baklava ice cream! Oh my! Best ice cream I've ever had! Thank you Yianni's for a fine dining experience!“

“We recommend the duck dumplings and the fried calamari. Mister Lee’s noodle is good. Hot & Spicy Ramen does not meet my expectation, but their ramen is pretty good and definitely does not taste like the instant noodles in some other ramen restaurants.“

“Jamison Publick House is truly a gem of a restaurant, with a classic and tranquil atmosphere! We had a wonderful lunch with delicious food and impeccable service! I'm grateful we have such a wonderful establishment so close to our home!“

“Nice local place with great food and very reasonable prices. Service is excellent, with an attentive waitstaff. Photos include the White Russian (cheesesteak with bacon and provolone) and Rachel (cornedbeef with coleslaw).Parking: Private lot with additional street parking if needed.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly atmosphere.“

“Had a great experience there. Food was delicious, you must try the cheesesteak sandwich! The staff are very polite and take their jobs seriously. The mixed drinks are always on point, made with a friendly smile by Amy. Highly recommend to all my friends!“

“The experience that I had/have is the staff is friendly, food is out of this world!!!!! Prices are good. They have live entertainment now and then, karaoke and some decent pool players. In other words get your azz over to the tavern and have a great time“

“We have been here several times. We usually enjoy sitting at the bar with Sam (he’s great) as our bartender. Food and drinks are always good. Saturday was so nice we asked to sit outside. The atmosphere out there is awesome. What really made it a special time was Will as our waiter!! He made it well worth the money we spent. He was attentive, knew the menu very well (I always ask questions about different dishes), funny and just enjoyable to talk with. He makes a great salesperson because we didn’t even mind that he upsold us on several things! To top it off a magician gave us a table side show before we left. What a great night spent with friends at a place that leaves you with a warm fuzzy feeling. We’ll definitely be back“

“This is my go to place if I want a nice burger with fries that will fill me for the night! The bills favorite burger is my favorite you can't go wrong! And honestly all of the appetizers are great tasting and portioned for the price! And the staff is always friendly! Been going here for years and will continue to!“

“Haven't been here in over 15 years was hoping to have some of the Fried chicken they served unfortunately it's no longer on the menu I recognized a couple people don't remember name's it's still not a bad place just changed with the times. It still has that local tavern feel.“

“Good, solid, local spot for beers and cocktails. Sometimes you can't get exactly what you want due to a lack of ingredients (they don't have everything needed for an Old Fashioned). It's clean inside and the staff are very friendly and attentive. However, it's not super "nice" inside. It's not bad, but it's not wow. Definitely a good spot and I definitely recommend others stop in!“

“I am always satisfied with the food and the atmosphere at Fiamma! They are always packed. I was there the other night with a group of 10 when the table next to us had a medical emergency. I was very pleased to see how staff and guests reacted. What a wonderful place! Definitely recommend!!“

“Went there for the first time on Friday night. We knew they didn't take reservations and were prepared to wait. We put our names in and were told it would be about 15 minutes which was fine. We were super excited as the restaurant looked really nice inside and we had heard the "ghost stories" so we were looking forward to the whole experience. Sadly the waitress came up and told us she was going to seat us in "the other dining room" which is just an extra room they use for small events and such. NOT the same ambiance as the main room for sure. Plus if you need to use the restroom you have to walk outside and back into the main room which is inconvenient. She should have asked if we were ok not being seated in the main dining area as we would have gladly waited a bit longer for that to happen. Our waitress was delightful and our drinks were very good. Food came out too quick after our appetizers....we literally had just started eating them when our food was there. Waitress did apologize so it was nice she realize that was a negative. Food was 8/10....would certainly come back and try other things!“

“Tavern at the Sun Inn saved the day today - actually Scott did! The food truck was closed today and I was sent upstairs to the bar, thank goodness we did! My friend and I had set in our minds what we wanted to beverage but now had no idea since the other menu was specific to the truck. Scott had asked what he could get us - my reply was simple- I needed one drink to be cherry bounce and another to be made with boilo. He did not disappoint!! Cherry bounce mule and the other was an apple cider boilo martini…I can’t even say which was better because they were both equally amazing! I didn’t catch the girl’s name that was also working up there, but she was a huge help with assisting me with carrying all the drinks to our table. Such a great place with amazingly friendly people working there! Can’t wait to visit again!“

“I have never been to this place but I read a comment on Reddit about how this place handled, a bartender being informed that someone's drink was drugged, someone went on stage and told all the ladies to stop what they were drinking and they gave them all new drinks. This is so cool, I think I'm going to just come out to PA to check this place out.“

“9/2023 as we were driving down Liberty Street (driving to another restaurant) we decided to stop in. Nice music blend from the 90s . Food was good. Sat outside which was nice except when fools with the lawn mower sound kit on their cars drove by. I had chicken quesadillas and they were delicious. Also the dirty martini was very good.“

“We have stopped here a few times. It's really worth the trip! Tonight we had the vegetable soup, burger special, chicken wontons and loaded tots. Soup was very good and the rest came out pretty quick for how busy they were. Service was great, we didn't wait at all for drinks. Love that you can play the Boombah's!! Definitely a stop if you are in the area.“

“I had a great time. Can't wait untill next Wednesday. Hope to go to more functions? Looking forward to the clam bake I hope we can do that? maybe some dancing, have to find someone that won't drop me...lol. I just want to meet people and have fun, laugh, have a good time! Wonders looks like it is a good place for that?“

“this is the best part of my retirement and thanks God for the corner pocket and the food is offthe Hook ????✌️????????My favorite thing is the atmosphere and the other one is pool tables for the time you want to go to a serious place and get a challenge..“

“At Pints and Pies, the deep dish style pizza is the real deal – thick crust, loaded with toppings, and just downright satisfying. Although when it comes to their boneless wings, well, they're more like tiny popcorn chicken pieces. So, while the pizza rocks, the wings could be better.“

“After driving by this place for years, we finally went for a special fundraiser event. Even though there was a line to get in, it didn't take long to get seated. Then even though it was super busy, it didn't take long to get our order taken and served. We will definitely be back.“

“Food was great & service was phenomenal! The owner was so personable, friendly, and sweet. We sat at the bar and she engaged in conversation with us and was on top of things.They closed at 8pm, but she reassured us to take our time do not rush and to stay until 9pm. I definitely will be returning it was a great vibe and hospitality goes a long way!“

“I’ve been here a few times for metal shows and each time was very enjoyable, the venue is in the back and very small. Parking can be difficult, the location is sketchy and I definitely didn’t feel safe at all alone so either met people there or went with someone. Great little space just have to be careful and alert.“

“Last week I had the pleasure of having dinner with seven friends at Christophers. The drinks were very reasonably priced and Donna even made specialty martinis. Our waitress was very pleasant and efficient and our dinners were delicious. WE WILL DEFINITELY VISIT AGAIN.“

“The atmoshere is Great!! 2nd time i been there the service Sucks!! Bigtime. 1 lady behind the bar and all she cared about was cooking. Then when that was over she was at opposite side of bar facing one guy chatting too him and on her phone. Horrible service.. 1st time I was there the owner lady was great. Older chinese lady. She had fun while running the bar. She even gave me a chip too come back next week.“

“I’m loving the bars opening up in grocery stores- it’s my new hang. Weiss pub is open later than the local restaurants and bars which is great of you have a different schedule than traditional M-F with late hours. Kelly is the sweetest person and she makes sure you are enjoying yourself. The slushees are great. Beer selection is good. I can’t wait to make it out for Karaoke on Monday nights!“

“Love this place and a woman owns it and tomorrow is International Woman’s Day…gotta support the awesome lady business owners hustlin out there! The jukebox and speakers are awesome here! Bartenders rock! Patrons are fun! Great Spanish food style buffet and great other bar bites at a great price! Beer is cold and cheap??????“

“Our food was AWESOME! We (3) had the pork tacos, beef burrito and pork chimichanga w/mole sauce. Also the portions and plat presentations were amazing! The staff did a great job all around from seating us to serving our table. Great job to all at Casa Toro! See you again soon!“

“We came here the first time today, and we loved it.Our server Melissa was fast and friendly!The food came out fast and was yummy.We had some appies and for the main we had a Burger and Fish&Chips.The burger was cooked to perfection, and the fish was crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside.The dessert menu is huge, and all their desserts are made in-house.If we ever come back to this area, we will stop by again.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to get on the patio.Doors are wide.I'm not sure about the restrooms.“
