I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet on Yelp…read more Let me proceed... I hate to give out 5 stars but I thought long and hard and I really couldn't think of anything negative to say. I probably stop here more often that any other bar/tavern in the area. Ty, the owner, is a good guy from what I can tell. He is a hands-on owner which is what you need to be in order to survive in this business. He is active in the community and supports local businesses. If you treat him right, he will treat you right. And the same goes for his staff. If you're there for a good time and aren't looking for trouble, they are nothing but friendly. But if you go there looking for trouble...and act up or start a fight, you will get tossed out. Hey, its a biker bar. A REAL biker bar. If you want to rub shoulders with some authentic bikers, this is the place to go. But its not all bikers. People from all walks of life come here for a good time. I've never had a problem with any patron here...whether its in the morning, afternoon, evening, or late night. They are open 7:00 am to 2:00 am Monday thru Saturday and 9:00 am to 2:00 am Sundays. That's my kind of hours for a bar! Did I mention the bartenders? They're good people. No attitude. They're attentive and quick to serve you. They are also in charge of cooking so if they disappear for a minute, you know where they are! The food is good. Of course its not The French Laundry but I never had a bad meal here. Don't expect anything fancy...after all it is a dive bar. So expect good wings, burgers, sandwiches, and bar pizza. I particularly like their chicken fingers and their pizza...oh, and their breaded chicken sandwhiches. Not sure why but my wife and I are really into their breaded chicken sandwhiches. They have some great wings too. Boatyard has a full bar. Not sure if they have wine because I have never seen anyone order/drink it here. They have 6 beers on tap. From what I can tell, they have 5 permanent beers and one rotating draft. The rotating draft is always a Red Castle brew, which is the local microbrewery. Last time I was there they had Red Castle queen guard which is an American pale ale. I have had it a few times and it is a good representation of an American style pale ale. The permanent beers on draft are as follows as of 8/2/14: Miller Lite Yuengling Lager Yuengling Lager Lite Budweiser Coors Light They have the standard beers in bottles. Nothing exotic, just the expected big beer companies. I give the Boatyard 5 stars because they deliver what you expect from a divey/biker bar and they are open when they promise to be which can't be said of all establishments. They never open late and never close early. They will almost always make you food pretty late at night and the beer is cold. Hey, what more do you want! Bike night is next week and this place will be packed. They manage to keep it under control and it's the place to be for bike night. If you're in the area, stop in. Good times!

We found this place because I was looking for somewhere I could get a beer and walk out and around the town of Jim Thorpe (I believe they allow it here). But ended up staying for the vibes and plus we were super hungry. I wish I remembered our waitresses name but I believe she had pink in her hair. She allowed me and my girlfriend to sample some beers that she thought we would like because we were hesitant and what to order. We got the sangria sour beer and the white ale which were perfect for us. We also saw online that everyone loved the smash burger so we had to try it. We added truffle fries for 3 dollars which was so worth it. Some of the best fries we have ever had. Also I think we decided it was the best smash burger we have ever had. We both have never tried bacon jam and we were a bit hesitant about the pimento cheese as well. I think my favorite moment from this trip was sitting at the bar here and eating this meal. Plus the burger lived up to the hype. Thank you to the waitress we had you made our day!

Oh, man. This was... bad. Giving two stars (it could have been one) because the spot is really cute…read moreand has loads of potential. But yeah. This was pretty bad. Lemme back up. We wanted to enjoy it. We wanted to love it. We are up here all the time and it's always great to have a nice spot to go to for dinner. We *wanted* to love it. We did not. Let's look at where things went wrong. The service: SLOW. Friendly enough, but S-L-O-W. It was relatively early on a Sunday and there were only a few tables occupied. And there were four servers. The appetizers: we got the clams casino (they were fine--too bready but the flavor was good) and the burrata. I've never had burrata that you had to struggle to cut through. Puzzling. And it was served with what was clearly store-bought pita bread (an odd choice for burrata)... which was cold. The entrees: I ordered the 4 oz. filet with mushroom risotto and asparagus. My partner ordered a bone-in ribeye with a twice-baked potato and green beans. My MIL got the short ribs, and also got the risotto and asparagus. The short ribs were good. Everything else? Marginal, at best. My filet was cooked to order, but was mostly flavorless. I ordered Bernaise sauce to go with it--there are three sauce choices on the menu--and it was ice cold and coagulated. The "risotto" was just rice (I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they made it from scratch) with a few mushrooms in it (loose grains, no creaminess; this was not risotto). I received four spears of asparagus (which was overcooked and largely inedible). My partner's FIRST ribeye, which he ordered "medium rare, leaning toward rare, was cooked to well-done (it was straight up brown through and through). He sent it back, and the second one came out cooked slightly less (there was a little pink in there) but the meat was in three pieces and the server just scraped it onto the plate where they had left his sides. Speaking of... the twice-baked potato was definitely cooked (more than twice) and reheated. He had to ask for a side of sour cream to get it to just "okay." I'm told the green beans were cooked perfectly. Win? The desserts: there was a "lemon tart" which tasted a lot like the cherry cheese pie recipe from the side of a Philadelphia cream cheese box (not bad, but anyone can make that at home), and then THE CINNAMON BUN, which had been built up to be the best thing on the menu. Now, it was HUGE--the size of my head. But it was dry and cold and not remotely worth the calories. Oh! We each ordered coffee--two cappuccinos and one espresso--and each was barely lukewarm when it got to the table. To be fair, the coffee *was* good, but it would have been better if it was, you know, hot. Did I say how much we wanted to enjoy this? The building is beautiful and the owners have clearly spend a lot of time and money on it and the dining room, which was lovely. But if they plan to make a real go of this, they have A LOT of work to do. They've only been open for a month or so, so maybe all of this can be chalked up to "kinks in the system." I really hope they work it out.

The murder mystery itself was the highlight, the storyline was engaging, and the actors were clearly well-trained in improv and very kind. Murder Mystery: 8/10 The room was fairly standard, what you'd expect in an old-timey house. No TV or modern extras, but there were plenty of charging outlets, which was appreciated. Room: 7/10 The food during the stay was incredibly disappointing. Most of it felt like reheated microwave meals. Breakfast included eggs, bacon (very thin, broken pieces), cubed potatoes that were oddly watery, ham slices, stale danishes, cereal cups, and a parfait option that had run out by our 9am time slot. Dinner was similar in quality. I chose the cheese ravioli, but despite being second in line, it was cold. The same watery potatoes from breakfast were served again, along with green beans. The only highlight was the coffee, which was good. Food: 2/10 Unfortunately, the parking situation is very poor. There are only 5-6 spots directly outside and a few more up the hill behind the carriage house. I was dropped off at check-in and informed staff that my boyfriend would be arriving late. I was assured there would be parking available and that staff would be present 24/7 to assist him. However, I woke up to a call from him saying he couldn't find parking. I went downstairs to get help, but no staff could be found. Not wanting to disturb other guests, I eventually gave up, and he had to park on the street in the neighborhood on top of the hill overnight. At breakfast, we were briefly told about additional parking behind the carriage house, but there was no apology or acknowledgment of the issue from the night before, nor any attempt to make it right. Parking: 1/10 The staff overall seemed inexperienced and, at times, unprofessional. While I empathize with younger staff members, there were several uncomfortable moments--such as hearing an employee joke about "killing" another staff member over a small mistake, and staff walking away mid-conversation while we were trying to ask follow-up questions. Staff: 4/10 Overall, there were some enjoyable elements, especially the murder mystery, but the experience didn't quite match the price point. With a few key improvements, this could be a much more worthwhile stay.
