Keystone Pub

Keystone pub totally rocks it… The bartenders are like perfect tens the beer list is second to none in the waitresses complement the food perfectly! Totally check them out you won’t be sorry! There was a manager named Andrew and another one named Paul I think and both of those guys really took care of us with a nice table on a special night so if you need anything ask for either of the managers I’m sure they’ll take good care of you! I also have to mention that last week I had a waitress named Katie who is absolutely adorable and made us feel so warm and welcome!

This is my favorite place for food and drink around. Best beer selection on tap. 40 rotating taps with outstanding beers. Décor and service won’t blow you away your first time but it is a local pub. The more you come the friendlier they get. It is the kind of place where they will know your name. I recommend the chicken wings. They are in my opinion the best in the lehigh valley when cooked crispy. Great for watching sports. about 30 tv’s and a big projector. Sports are on every tv.

We stopped in on a Saturday night and the place was rather empty… The bar was full but the dining area had about 3 additional tables other than ours. Their menu was the typical bar food menu with wings, nachos and such. It took a good 10 minutes after being seated for our server to stop by our table for the initial drink order… Kind of disappointing when the dining area was already rather empty.
We started out with getting the keystone mule and the mint julep. Both drinks were rather tasty. As for food he got the big taco with beef and said it was «ok». I got the crab cake sandwich with fries– the crab cake was tasty but the fries at an additional charge were soggy and chewy :-(
We did get a second round of drinks– the Orange creamicle crush and their strawberry mojito. The creamicle crush tasted just like the creamicle ice cream bars– nice «dessert». Yet the strawberry mojito was rather weak.
The rating was for the drinks more so than the food. Overall it was an average experience– nothing that really «wowed» us to be coming back anytime soon.

Great bar! Fast service, fun atmosphere, great food. Never had to ask for a drink, the bartenders were right on it. Huge portions, I could only eat about ¹⁄₃ of the bar fries.

I was in last Monday service was great I think the bartender said hername was Becky, it was a full bar at this point and I noticed she was very attentive to every person. The food was really good and came out in a timely matter. No complaints, I’ll be back!

Tiffany was the best waitress I’ve ever had. Ever. Energy and knows her beers!
Typical bar food.
Wings are above average, nachos good too.
Kids liked the mini corn dogs.
Lots of TVs and seating.
Great experience.
They take Northwestern Lehigh LAX discount card. Go Tigers!!! Thanks for your support.

This is place is incredibly awesome. The owner Savvas is very active and cares about his establishment and the patrons. The service is great l, the food is awesome, and they have an incredible beer selection.
Thank you!

All I have to say is chicken taco salad. It is amazing. I have never been Dissapointed here. I am also very please with the management or owner. I believe he is the tall guy and he always makes sure everything is running smoothly. On top of that he always greets us with smiles and makes us feel welcomed. Little things make a dining or bar experience good to great xo

Came here on a business lunch. The resturant seemed recently remodeled and clean, with plenty of windows. Waitress was prompt and polite, however, she had sooo much makeup on her face! She looks like she was made up for halloween or something.
Menu was expansive. They had a nice variety of sammies and appetizers. I ordered a London Broil Cheesesteak. It was decent. Beef was a bit chewie, but flavorful. I had to upgrade and pay 99 cents for fries. This is riducious. All sandwhiches should come with fries instead of a tiny snack size of Ruffles chips! Terrible! My fries actually had a «freezer burn» taste to them! You could totally tell they were frozen and possibly even low grade, like Aldi’s or Price Right brand!
We ordered wings, they weren’t great. Chewie and a bit grubbie. Not crispy. Also, the grease tasted old and nasty… Leaving the wings to taste extra greasy and stinky! No one likes the taste of old grease!
My guest got a pulled pork sammy, and she said the pulled pork seemed «old» or «leftover».
Place was ok. You can get better food at a local tgif or ruby tuesday. We probably wont return.
Great service and great interior, just the food didnt really do much for me. It was a forgettable, non memorable experience. Goodbye, Keystone! Bön Voyage!

We have stopped here several times. Last night was the latest. Great bar food lots of seating and tons of beers on tap. The wings are the 2^nd best in the valley (only PJs are better). Excellent chili as well. Servers are good and plenty of tvs for the game.
For this type of place it rates 5 star easy.

Not great. Plain food, mostly bar/​finger food. I felt like I was in a high school cafeteria. Service was terrible. I won’t make this mistake again.

Typical Sports bar with a great selection of drinks but I gotta say My wife tried the Buffalo Chicken Cheese Steak and I had the Regular Chicken Cheese steak and our food came quick like lightning and was piping hot and delicious. So I can’t quite get all the negative food reviews but the service was surly lacking. Yes the food came quick but I swear when it came time to pay the bill they dropped off the check and took about 30 min to take my card. So being that it was our first time there we weren’t quite sure where to pay after the extreme wait my wife got up to ask the hostess and in the meanwhile the waitress finally came to take my bill. I have to agree with a fellow reviewer that the wait staff just seems more interested in standing around and lollygagging about. Excellent Cheese Steak, Crappy service.

Great, but the management is insulting, disrespectful and ignorant.
I will tell you if you asked me a week ago I would have told you this place was great. Then came tonight.
Tonight (Wednesday) is also Trivia Night at Keystone. While some people may complain it is louder than normal overall it is a good time. The trivia is actually really well done.
However, tonight after winning trivia convincingly (the categories just lined up for our table tonight) a manager approached our table and accused myself and another player of cheating and letting us know that we would not be receiving the prize. After telling him we weren’t he called us liars and let us know our arguments didn’t matter.
So I know what you’re thinking, «They probably were cheating.» Here’s the kicker, after being denied our reward, the trivia host came up and personally apologized to us. He noted that most of our answers were turned in in under 10 seconds too quick to be searched, but explained to is it wasn’t his call but the restaurants.
I don’t understand why, if the restaurant thought you were cheating, they wouldn’t address it when they thought it was happening, not after you won?
If management is going to come to your face and call you a liar and a cheater with no proof and no corroboration even from the trivia master seems absolutely ridiculous to me. It really seems more like a way for the restaurant to collect the $ 300 tab from the people at your table and not have to hand out the $ 25 gift card. How ridiculous is that?

It is a very nice place but the service was very slow. The bartender would walk by us many times without checking if we needed anything. We had to constantly ask for service. It was also very hot, I understand it’s summer but they should have the AC on. Usually the wings are good at the Bethlehem location but these tastes like rubber today.

Horrible service. The staff appeared more interested in entertaining each other than serving customers. Dirty windows, dirty tables, lackluster menu. When the food arrived, it was in keeping with the rest of the experience. I would rather eat out of a gas station vending machine than return here for a meal.

The food isn’t bad… It’s awful. A terrible experience that I never want to go through again or even wish upon my worst enemy.
The food is bland /​awful. The waitresses aren’t that attentive. It’s expensive. It feels like a ski lodge.

If judged on its own merits, Keystone has its +/-‘s, but its a complete relief from the new BW3 across the street — which is like Country Buffet’s inbred cousin for wings, mob seating and a tiny bar. That said, Keystone needs to ramp their service game up as a sports bar, because PJ Whelihan’s on Schoenersville Rd. kicks their ass in food quality, and for those who care, «eye candy». Those who are not a 11+ on a scale of 1 – 10 probably shouldn’t apply for a job at PJ’s. (just an observation). So while Keystone’s hospitality and efficiency lag, they have great ice cold beer, and a great selection. Bar food has always been acceptable «bar food». Lots of parking, nice outdoor seating, and a nice bright modern interior.

If you want a beer, definitely head for Keystone. Their beer selection is nothing short of amazing. Depending on the time and who your bartenders are, service could leave a lot to be desired. But it’s worth it for the 18 tvs at the bar and super reasonably priced beer.
Looking for food? Run far away. Their menu is small (even by bar standards) and pretty over priced.

The wings were perfectly cooked. Nice meaty wings. I ordered the Sweet & Spicy and my boyfriend ordered good ol’ Hot Wings. We got a side of fries. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the fries. They weren’t special. I wish they offered sweet potato fries. Mmm. Anyways, this was our second time at this establishment and like the last time it was pretty empty. It wasn’t a typically busy time of day for a restaurant but with wings so good I expect it to be packed at all open hours.
I had one problem with my wings. Our of an order of 10 I got 1 flat and 9 drumsticks!!! UGH I HATE THAT. Although I enjoyed the meaty drumstick, I was so bummed that i didn’t get a mix. I didn’t expect it to be right down the middle but damn. So I said something to the waitress (Sara) and she and the manager easily took care of it. Another manage even came out and suggested that I can easily just ask for which ones I wanted specifically. I thought that was nice. I felt really bratty bringing up to her in the first place, but they seemed to understand me.
I wish I could eat wings more often. They were delightful.

It’s really hard to get an idea as to what the owners of the Keystone Pub were thinking of when they bought and remodeled this place.
Although this location has been open for over a month, there is still no listing of it on their website. The funky charm of the building that the original location has is truly lost on this place as it looks like all they did in the changeover from Lone Star was to strip everything to the bare walls, add too many TV’s, and turn up the music up way too loud.
There is no angle, no niche, no market that this place really serves because there is nothing special here and everything they do can be had already at other places either close by (Chili’s-Dunderbak’s) or in the LV.
Speaking of the music, it sucks.
The mix of 2^nd rate ‘90s hip-​hop combined with «modern» bubble gum pop is stupid and having it on as loud as it was yesterday during a very non-​busy lunch could help to explain why Red Lobster and Olive Garden were packed as usual and this place wasn’t.
(Minus one star for shitty music)
But I digress.
When we came in we were seated promptly and our server «S» got our drinks quickly and things began great.
We started off by sharing the nachos and the portion size was huge, as in you could probably not eat anything else after sharing this huge.
You can get the nachos with beef, chicken, something I forget, and BBQ pork meat.
We ordered it with the BBQ pork meat although apparently «S» didn’t know you could do this as she came back to the table to ask what meat we wanted on the nachos and after I reminded her that we said BBQ pork and I pointed to the spot on the menu where it showed you could get it, she then let us know that she had no idea you could put pork on nachos.
(Minus one star when the server clearly doesn’t know the menu)
The nachos came quick enough and they were very good although the BBQ pork meat is a bit on the too sweet side.
Our main items of a taco salad and three cheese burger arrived when we were barely ¼ of the way through our nachos and naturally that created major space issues on our table. (I’ll never get why servers bring things out like that.)
The burger itself was cooked perfectly, even though putting it in a basket with an unopened bag of Ruffles is a bit of a weird plating combo, and the taco salad with chicken was good and equally large.
We were done with our food but «S» had disappeared with the two other tables she was covering as apparently she could only handle one thing at a time and the task of taking dirty cups into the back along with a check to ring up a CC must be too difficult.
(Although it was interesting hearing her talk to the guys at the nearest table about how the place was crazy busy for their opening but since then they are dead during the week especially at lunch.
Which I agree with based on the attendance when we were there.)
After an almost fifteen minute wait to pay we finally did and were on our way.
(Minus one star for slow end of meal service and a disappearing server more interested in her one table of four than her two tables of two.)
While it was good to give the new Keystone a try I can’t think of a reason to go back as everything they offer, cheap bar food and 50+ beers on tap, is already covered and done better by their Bethlehem location and by the several Whelihan’s in the area.
In the future if the pub-​grub bug strikes us we’ll likely go to a PJ’s or to the other Keystone as those places have their stuff together and this one clearly doesn’t.
