    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!

    I great place to have a few or more, the food is delicious. Everyone I have met there at the Boat…read moreYard has been very friendly. It is a great place to watch the game on the big screen and relax. The bar tenders are beautiful and can make a great cocktail or a shooter or whatever your drink is. The Boat Yard is a fine establishment and I highly recommend it.

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!

Staff was so nice and accommodating willing to adjust for my kids and food didnt take long. My kids enjoyed every bite. Being from NY prices were just in the right ran for the amount of food you got. Well definitely be back if we are ever back in town .

    Group of 6 of us went to Myst for our last night in Jim Thorpe…read more Food was very disappointing. I ordered shrimp and scallop hibachi and it was incredibly oily and greasy, and the portion of shrimp and scallops was tiny. My friend also got hibachi and felt the same way. My salad was watery, and the clear mushroom soup tasted very strange. I couldn't take more than a bite of either the soup or the salad. For my entree, asked the server if I could please have extra vegetables instead of noodles, and she said that there was a "language barrier" in the kitchen, so she didn't want to ask that. I thought that was an odd comment for her to make. My daughter ordered some sushi rolls and liked them, and my husband and our friend also liked their sushi; so maybe sushi is a better choice here. The place is small and to echo other reviewers, tables are very crammed together and you will bump in to other people just by moving around. The place is cool looking on the inside and outside, definitely an interesting vibe, and they have a full bar. We did have to ask multiple times about the status of our beverages (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). My drink was not good, it was a sake/lemon drop hybrid type of thing and it was insanely sweet - I couldn't finish it.

    What a fantastic pub in historic Jim Thorpe, PA! Established in 1830 and connected to the iconic…read moreHotel Switzerland, Molly Maguires combines great food, friendly service, and plenty of local charm. The pub embraces the rich coal-region history that inspired its name, making it a perfect stop while exploring this beautiful mountain town. One of the highlights is their large covered outdoor deck, which is ideal for summer dining. Even better, they're prepared for every season--they can enclose the deck during rainy weather and have a heating system in place to keep guests comfortable during the colder months. The day we visited happened to be Trivia Day, which made for a lively and entertaining atmosphere. It's easy to see why both locals and visitors enjoy spending time here. The pub has a welcoming, laid-back vibe that's perfect whether you're stopping in for a meal, drinks with friends, or just taking a break from exploring town. We started with the Tater Kegs--oversized tater tots stuffed with bacon, cheddar cheese, and chives, served with zesty horseradish sauce and sour cream. They arrived piping hot, perfectly crispy, and absolutely delicious. A great appetizer to share. For entrées, I couldn't resist the Shepherd's Pie. Ground beef, onions, carrots, and peas are simmered in a rich gravy and topped with beautifully piped mashed potatoes baked until golden brown. It was hearty, comforting, and packed with flavor. We also ordered the Molly Maguire Burger loaded with peppers, mushrooms, onions, and bacon. I added pepper jack cheese, and it was definitely the right choice. Every bite was juicy, flavorful, and satisfying. A special shoutout to our server, Abbey, who was outstanding from start to finish. Not only was she attentive with drink refills and checking on us throughout the meal, but she also took the time to recommend other sights and attractions around Jim Thorpe. Her friendly personality and local knowledge made our visit even more enjoyable. Between the delicious food, fun atmosphere, historic setting, and exceptional service, Molly Maguires delivered a memorable experience. If you're visiting Jim Thorpe, do yourself a favor and stop in. And if you're lucky enough to have Abbey as your server, you're in for an even better experience!

We were trying to sit together but they chose to combine tables for our group. The service was a bit lack luster..first they didn't bring place settings until After the food was delivered. When we asked they brought 2 place settings for 11 of us (lol). The food was decent, hot and price was reasonable. A few minor issues which were resolved. Even though they wouldn't seat us together they combined the two groups into 1 bill and wouldn't separate. Overall the servers/hostess seem bothered by our group and at times were rude.

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.
