“What an awesome place to go! My gf and I went today (Wednesday) for BYOV (vinyl) and the vibe was phenomenal! The beer was delicious and the staff were even better! Can't wait to return! Go once and you will find a new favorite brewery!“

“This might just be my favorite brewery in the Lehigh Valley. I haven't tried one beer that I haven't liked. The service is amazing and the beer is even better. I'll have to make it to their Hellertown location to see how that is too.

Note - to my knowledge, the food is not staffed or operated by Lost Tavern. They just happen to share the same space but it's too separate places. Some people come in just for food or just for beer - you don't need to do both but you can!“

“excellent staff, drinks, and atmosphere. Don't listen to the haters and try the place out for yourself!“

“I do love good Kombucha and there are so many local favorites, yet High Point knocks it out of the park!!!! Especially enjoy the 12oz cans, perfect size and great way to just sit in the shade on the rocker and watch the chickens go by with a cold one! You can taste the dedication and passion in the flavors, thank you!!!!!“

“I’ll keep it 100. I work for another beverage distributor as a direct competitor to south mountain beverage and I understand why our store falls behind. First and foremost is the huge selection south mountain beverage carries and always has in stock. Second is the pricing, we can’t compete on the DEALS these guys are able to get for their customers and our community. I’m a numbers guy and I’m not entirely sure how they keep the lights on selling at the prices they do but really it comes down to the relationships they have made with their suppliers. Third, location location location. South mountain beverage positioned their business in a way that draws in patrons from surrounding businesses and institutions - the market, the pizza shop, and the middle school. The new ownership is world class, they provide excellent service and they’re funny man. As soon as all this crazy stuff settles down I’ll be trying to get a job here but until then I’ll continue working at my current store and after a hard day’s work if you’re like me you’ll stop on by and get yourself a 6 pack and a lotto ticket and hangout with the guys at south mountain beverage.“

“went for first time tonight nice atmosphere but will eat before hand.I ordered onions rings and french fries because of out of most stuff and was 16.00 and i was so surprised there was about 6 onions rings for 8.00 what a rip off and not many fries for 8.00. My son ordered a 5.00 hot dog( again way over priced)and then after he paid said we our out of hot dogs.“

“If you like craft beer and good food and are ever in Allentown, you HAVE to try Bru Daddy's. We were in town last night for the Jordan Davis concert and decided to check out Bru Daddy's for dinner and drinks before. Best decision! The beer is delicious, the servers are friendly, and the food is amazing! We got the loaded fries as an appetizer and then an Iron Pig pizza and a La Margherita pizza to split. The fries were amazing - The plate was full, there was so much ranch and so many toppings! Now the pizza, it stole the show, especially the Iron Pig. The bbq sauce was so delicious (I'm still thinking about it). There were plenty of toppings on both. The crust was crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. It was the best wood fired pizza we have ever eaten! We cannot wait to make another trip to Allentown and Bru Daddy's will DEFINITELY be one of our first stops!“

“Excellent service, great food and drinks! Josie was very friendly and profesional. We had a great time and will definitely come back next time we’re in town!“

“Beer and food were great and the staff was friendly.“

“This is a new brewery here in the Lehigh Valley. We stopped in for a late lunch after shopping at the mall.

My wife and I sat at the bar and a few of the Vienna Red Lagers. I ordered the Black Bean Burger. This was full of flavor. Nice touch of adding Pico de gallo. One of the better black burgers I've had in a while.

I ordered an old fashioned for dessert. They use Bloody Butcher bourbon whiskey.

This is a huge place. We happened to arrive at a quieter time, which was better for us. Sam was a FANTASTIC bartender!

Parking: Depending on the time you arrive will determine how easily you'll find parking.“

“I so wish that I had asked for names - but this place is phenomenal! We came in last Tuesday and Wednesday for breaks from Dorney. We were in from Virginia. Tuesday we sat at a booth up at the bar and the whole experience totally rocked. I had a family member with a gluten sensitivity and the park had little to offer, so we came to BJs. Service was great, food was fantastic, end to end just a great time. Wednesday we sat out in the dining area and had a different server, and he was incredible. Super attentive, all over everything we needed, top notch all the way - and then… Yall blessed my bourbon loving heart. I glanced across the bar and saw pretty common whisky selections. I ordered a water. It was hot anyway. But then I caught the label of a bottle of Booker’s… the price per pour was so good I asked 3 times to verify. When your bartender told me people don’t often order bourbon like that in there, my next question was “where is the closest liquor store?” Because I knew I’d get lucky. Bingo. Two bottles of Bookers on the shelf at Cedar Crest. ECBP, and a handful of other solid bottles not commonly seen in my state outside allocated drops. So bourbon fans - get you a healthy pour of Booker’s at a killer price at BJs, order the Prime Rib dip sandwich because it’s crazy good, and then go see what’s on the shelf nearby afterwards.“

“We used the venue for my daughter's sweet 16 party. The staff was fantastic and helpful on anything we needed. They let us DIY the decorations the night before. The food was fun and tasty -- we did a make your own pasta bar, which was such a hit with girls. I cannot recommend them highly enough.“
