GREAT MEMORIES!!!! An absolutely wonderful place! I worked…read morethere in the summers of 1958 and 1959 when I was in high school. Art Rohman still owned the place and tended bar seven days a week. I used to set up pins in the bowling alley when there were bowlers. My mother and grandmother knew Rohmans probably for about fifty years back then. Wonderful people to work for and with. Art Rohman must have been in his seventies at the time and a font of history. He provided us free lunch, although he did not serve food to the public then. The hotel had stopped functioning as a hotel by then. Mr. Rohman lived in one of the rooms as did one of his bartenders.His nephew Nick lived in the house left of the front of the hotel and worked as a bartender. Before I arrived, Mr. Rohman had had his own barber living in the hotel. When that was discontinued, he would drive across to Barryville to go to Trevor's barbershop (on River Road) who was also the Justice of the Peace. That and going to funerals were the only time he left the building. He never waited at Trevors. John Trevor used to ask the person whose hair was being cut to leave the chair so that Mr. Rohman could get his shave. Sometimes there were three or four people waiting for a haircut. Mr. Rohman always paid for the haircuts of those he cut in front of. I do remember the great baseball pitcher Smoky Joe Wood coming in periodically for a case of beer which I would carry out for him. There was also the mail car on the train which went around 4:00 every afternoon. A six pack (cost a dollar then) was run out to the mailcar every day. They never tipped. Sundays were a spectacle. PA. had Blue Laws which prohibited bars from being open on Sundays. Rohman's was exempt. The Catholic Church was a few hundred yards away. When service let out, most of the attendees walked down the street and into Rohman's. On that day Mr. Rohman was known as Father Rohman. I was told that Rohman's was open all through prohibition. Politicians then were no different than today, although it was probably cheaper to bribe them. The boarding house trade was going strong back in the 1950s. There were many in the area. Pre-lunch cocktails were a regular routine for the boarders. I used to bus tables and restock the bar (only fresh fruit in all the drinks). At around 11:30 AM the place would fill with boarders. I would guess that there were more than 100 patrons crowding the place. Then it would empty as they went back for lunch (12:30 I think). Kids were welcome. My parents used to take me there when I had to stand on a chair to play one of the two pinball machines. Rohman would often come over and throw a bunch of nickels onto the machine for us kids to use for additional games. Nighttimes were crazy. Whatever the capacity of the bar, you couldn't get another person or table into the barroom. There were five bartenders on at night and often the customers were five deep at the bar. Friday nights were the worst. Husbands used to come up from the city on the train after work and walk right across the tracks into Rohman's to join their wives. Busing tables was difficult because you couldn't navigate around the room. There were three doors across the front (railroad side). To get to the other end of the bar I would go out the nearest door, walk to the farthest door and re-enter there. Getting back with a tray full of glasses and ashtrays retraced the route. A great place! I am tempted to come up from NC to revisit the old times. The name I use is a pseudonym. I have a website at www.economicnoise should anyone want to discuss this part of my youth further. I had many good times in the Barryville -- Shohola area and good friends. I considered Art Rohman a friend despite our considerable age difference.

Great place. Old time charm. You have to look at the register when it was operating as a hotel…read more Some great old names!

Recently ate here again, it's be almost 25 years since the last time and it's just as I remembered…read more Quaint, nostalgic, a step back in time. The surf and turf and salad bar were great. The best pat... still the views. Will be back.

This place gets a 5 star for ambiance. It is rustic-beautiful tables made from wood, gorgeous…read moreviews, and property that you can take a stroll on after dinner. Full of history and charm. It is so remote it doesn't feel like New Jersey, although the roads getting to the restaurant are 100 percent New Jersey full of uneven pavement. We had the BEST waiter I have ever encountered-Brian. He was super fast, attentive, and was excellent. As soon as we walked in we had water and delicious warm Brown bread with my favorite room temperature butter right after we sat down. It was delicious. Entrees come with a nice salad bar. It has been ages since we have been anywhere with a salad bar. This was a nice touch. We had the Prime Rib special that was typical prime rib but pretty good and the mixed seafood platter. I asked for the sauce on the side instead of on my fish. The dinner wasn't bad, but not great in taste. For dessert we had an ice cream pie. The pie crust was very good and apparently they are know for their pies. If it wasn't 100+°F I would have had a pie warmed up. It was a good experience overall. I would definitely go back and try more things.
