Bovino's is a newer addition to the Stroudsburg scene (they told me they started operating in the Summer of 23) although not an unfamiliar name. Their Pizzeria & Brewery in East Stroudsburg is pretty well reviewed and on my list of places to try out if I find myself in that area.
The inside still looks like it's a work in progress with some cosmetic work needing to be done, but overall it's spacious and nicely laid out. Reclaimed wood ceilings, long bar, high top seating, TV's above the bar and the brewing equipment is lined up against the back wall.
The tap list had a mix of styles that most would appreciate: Wheat Ale, Lager, Blonde Ale, Pale Ale, IPA's including one Hazy, Sour Ale, Dry Irish Stout, Brown Ale and a Bourbon Porter. The Bourbon Porter named Uncle Sticky's Porter was described as having - Toasty notes and flavors of coffee, chocolate and caramel give way to a very smooth vanilla and oaky bourbon finish. Conditioned on Madagascar vanilla beans and oak cubed soaked in PA bourbon. I found it to be above average and similar to its description. It was very sessionable at 6.5% ABV. My wife tried the pumpkin ale which was having carbonation issues, so the pour took awhile to settle and serve. She said it was average and not bad. 16oz pours were $8.
We were still full from lunch so we skipped ordering food, but the menu is on their website and has a sizeable offering. They also offer cocktails and wine.
They seemed a bit unorganized visually behind the bar, but I'm sure they are still getting the kinks out.
We had a good experience here and would return if in the area to try some food. read more
