Old Brewery Tavern

As a local of Bethlehem, I had never been here and decided to check it out with a few friends. We walked and walked out, that’s how bad it was. The bar was busy and there were a ton of people surrounding it, but the other side of the bar looks like a frat party that failed miserably. The lighting is weird and it’s different in each room. The smoke was unbearable, I understand you can smoke in there but there is absolutely no ventilation. No one was dancing, the music sucked. Everyone just sits around, screaming at each other over the horrible music. Waste of time. Went in for 10 minutes came out smelling like an ashtray. No thanks, I would rather go to a nice club/​lounge and have a nice drink, listen to current music and keep my lungs clean.

This is the place to go if you want to drink cheap beer, smoke a pack of cigs (even if you aren’t smoking), listen to a mix of rap, hard rock, and country on the juke box. But to truly enjoy the experience, you must NOT give a sh*t about being around misogynists, racists, homophobic pinheads, and just plain dumb asses. Enjoy!

Dark dive bar on corner of union blvd before you get to main st. Chelsea and Melissa the regular bartenders are very cool. Very cheap alcohol, pitchers of beer for 5 bucks. I have never had any food there (nor have I wanted to lol) but they should step up their game with selling bootleg chip bags or snacks because with all that drinking people get hungry! I am giving it 4 stars because they still allow smoking inside and unless I am already hammered, too much smoke is annoying to me and I hate the smell of it on my clothes, if I am hammered, then I will prob smoke one with the old drunks and regulars: D

Dirty and creepy

Great Lehigh Valley Dive!

No, see… this place gets 5 stars. Not because it is good. It’s not. It is horrible, dirty, a little scary and it is cheap. The guy complaing about the food… REALLY, BRO!!! YOU CAME HERE TO EAT!!!
Fail. You go to OBT for cheap pitchers of Miller Lite. For jell-​o shots. For cheap pitchers of… whatever.
Cheap. Horrible. Perfect. OBT.

Whew, OBT. This is a tough one to write. how do i explain how I feel about you? We love getting together, and when we do we have SUCH GOOD TIMES.
Well, except for like two nights ago when i though i was going to have to crack some heap of garbage over the head after he cracked wise at my wife. Twice the size of me, half the brains.
But when we’re having fun, we have fun, right? You and me, OBT. Dancing to the Jackson 5, sharing beer with people, relaxing with good folks after a hard days work or watching some football on the big screens they bring out on Sundays.
When things go south, they do get pretty bad though, huh? Unlike my other dive bar loves, you seem to attract a lot of brosauce bullshit. Is it your proximity to Moravian? Why is it that Friday nights are so creepy and then Mondays are so fun? Why do i have to worry about the various garbage heaps i have already spoken of, mouthing off and looking for trouble?
OBT, we have a pretty fucked up relationship. But I just… I just can’t quit you.

It is a dive bar… what more can be said? Cheap drinks, so-​so food the usual dive bar customers. Nothing exceptional here… As the saying goes: «you get what you pay for»

Beer & bar food. Unfortunately I saw the cook scratching his armpit on his break, & he had dirty fingernails. I almost threw up what I was eating (probably should have). Will not go back.

I haven’t been here in years. It’s a local joint, very popular for filling up your Musikfest mug cheaply in the summer. Typical bar with brews and food.
