Not for outsiders, which is sad considering TripAdvisor described this place as warm and welcoming. I walked in with my partner, and the hostess was nasty with me when I asked for a table. She told me to sit outside, upon which there were no tables. I let her know, and sat down inside. She proceeded to ignore me and i overheard her referencing us to the bartender in a discriminatory fashion. She continued to ignore us as we asked for menu's, we then left quickly as we felt incredibly unwelcome. Certainly not "employee of the month".
We stopped at the Union Publick House a few weeks back after hiking and a visit to Jim Thorpe, this place is a gem, great selection of beer and the food was great! not fancy but they made us feel right at home, very friendly staff! if in the area we will definitely be back!

Great little restaurant with a really nice menu, drink list and atmosphere. Think small family restaurant/bar with great pub food and drinks. Very welcoming and quick and friendly service. I got the Shrimp Po'Boy and fries and they were excellent. Perfect pregame before the Disco Biscuits show ✌️🫠😃

Must go and see one of the few places that is open late and has great prices for food. Go an check out you won't be disappointed.
Kid-friendliness: It's a bar but they allow kids to sit in the back.

Very slow service, cash only, but at least they had some vegan options, even if I wasn’t exactly in the mood for junk food. The cauliflower wings were a little scary- soggy and absolutely gigantic. Not convinced the sauce was totally vegan. The beyond burger was actually seasoned, which was a nice change, and had basic toppings. Very plain but it still looked better than the meat burgers.
Food is amazing! Great vibes!
Vegetarian options: The cauliflower wings were amazing!

I stumbled upon this dive bar with my boyfriend while visiting Jim Thorpe. To my delight I was very pleasantly surprised. Not much to look at inside, but the friendly staff especially Bailey, Tiffany,and Gary along with their delicious food which is reasonably priced make this place a gem.
They offer a nice selection of menu choices and have daily specials along with a special Octoberfest Menu, and a Cocktail Special Menu.
Union Publick House offers Vegan and Gluten free options too. Their prices are reasonable because THIS PLACE ONLY ACCEPTS CASH.)
We sat at the bar and we started with a signature cocktail. They made a great Blueberry, Lavender Cocktail. When you squeeze lemon in it, it turned purple. UPH has a great selection of Draft Beers, IPA’s, Wheats and Hefes and Stouts and Porters.
For starters I chose their Deviled Eggs 3 Ways. These deviled eggs are rich and creamy and melt in your mouth. Each one was topped with something different. I could’ve eaten a dozen of these. I also ordered their Hot Raspberry Wing to share. These wings were cooked perfectly, and that raspberry sauce was out of this world.
On the recommendation of bartender Bailey, for my entree I went with their Boursin Burger which had Boursin Cheese and Roasted Red Peppers and Onions on top with a side of Broccoli and Roasted Peppers and Onions.
My Boursin burger was very good. The meat was fresh and cooked perfectly med- rare.
My bf chose Smoked Turkey BLT Sandwich. The Turkey was moist and juicy and you could see it was sliced fresh. ( he ate half in the picture.) I spoke to several locals at the bar and they were all so friendly and gave great advice.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The drinks are very good and creative and the food was wonderful, so much so we decided to come back the next night and get a big plateful of their Hot Raspberry Wings.
When I’m in the area again, I won’t hesitate to come back.
Vegetarian options: They offer some vegetarian options, which looked very good
Parking: Parking is on the street so you might have to walk a little
Wheelchair accessibility: The front entrance has two steps, but I asked the bartender if they could accommodate handicap and he said yes you have to go around the back there’s a ramp. this is a small place.

I can't say enough good things about this place. Not only was the food phenomenal, it was priced so fairly that this place is literally my favorite restaurant. The atmosphere is perfect. Outside seating makes it such a great place to go on a nice night. The staff is super friendly and on point with their service. Great food, great beer, great service, incredible prices. I didn't think places like this still existed.
