Is a wonderful place. The service is absolutely phenomenal. The beers are great. The atmosphere is wonderful. And the overall experience was very nice. read more

Stopped by on Friday night for a few drinks! Had the apple pie margarita and their famous pickle martini. Both were delish. We snagged a spot at the bar & were able to admire all of the christmas decor. Def a must to add to your list during the christmas season! Call to make reservations if you'd like to dine there on the weekend read more

Walked in and immediately felt like we weren't welcome. Gave it a chance and ordered a drink. The people just got worse as the night continued. Owner was at the bar drunk af. Christmas lights were cool! Otherwise, definitely save your money. Unless you like being treated like you don't belong read more

Great food, service and local atmosphere. We came to see the steel stacks and found a still vibrant small town with great little places like Southside 313. read more

Don't greet you. Cater to their regulars. A bar maid tried to rip me off $1 (one dollar). Really......?

313 is always a reliable option when there's a big game on. Lots of seating - both at the bar and booths. Always decorated for closest holiday which is cute. Great selection of food and drinks. Friendly staff. Quick service! read more

Very cool place ... upscale dive bar (that is meant to be a compliment) I love the vibe of this place. I highly recommend checking this place out for the bar & small plates, lor diner! The server was great ... the food was delicious. The prices are slightly high for the food, but not ridiculous.

Was exploring bars in Bethlehem and came to visit here. Was not even greeted when I sat down. The wait staff and bartender couldn't be more than 20 years old so that means inexperienced in hospitality. I witnessed no sanitary practices being done by any of the staff. I saw them on their phones, whilst touching and stocking straws used for customers drinks, while eating in front of customers right at the bar. No hand washing whatsoever. I literally saw one girl dip a chip in sour cream and then grab a bunch of straws to stock it, touching all the tips of the straws where customers drink from! The decor inside was really nice and decked out for the holidays. Didn't order any food just drinks but I was not impressed whatsoever by what I witnessed. That is beyond disgusting. If I can notice this then I'm sure many others have noticed, too. read more

It's a divey place. Not very inviting. Seems like a local bar. Nothing to attract customers.

Cute little bar! The server was friendly and hilarious, nice Halloween decorations, and the food was great. I absolutely loved their black bean burger and my fiancé liked the wings (which were a little spicier than expected). The beer I got was great. Fries were crispy and well seasoned. Will definitely be coming back here again! read more

Food was very overpriced for the quality of the ingredients used compared to all the great places on the north side of Bethlehem. Burger and toppings were fresh but served on a low quality bun. Fries were also cheap and low quality you wouldn't expect at this price point. Drink prices and cocktails were great, however, the bar service is not good (unless you're a select crowd). Much better options in the area with bang for your buck, not worth it. read more

My friend picked out this restaurant after noticing it in the "Hot and New" list for Bethlehem. Even before walking in I knew there would be a great atmosphere inside... awesome decorations and a really cool take on the industrial vibe for a pub. Once inside the bar was packed but to my surprise there weren't many people eating at the tables in the back. Initially, I was worried I was in for "bar-food"... but the more we spoke to the waiter the more i fell in LOVE with the entire concept at Southside 313. I had 1/2 a pulled pork burger, 1/2 a peppercorn burger, Mac-n-cheese and tasted one of their 313 balls (fried potato, shrimp & cheese balls). BUT WHAT REALLY bumps this from a 3.5 to 4 star review was the owners moms RUM CAKE. OMGAHHHH. I was SO full I was ready to shoo away the waiter at the mention of dessert, but the way he talked about the rum cake made it impossible to resist. There was not a CRUMB left on that plate. YOU NEED THE RUM CAKE. ORDER IT! Overall, I hope this place takes off! Really great concept with an awesome atmosphere. They are supporting local farmers/produce and the owners mom makes the BEST RUM CAKE EVER. read more

I love the wings here! I've been a bunch of times! The handmaid dressings are a nice touch. The Bloody Mary is out of this world! One of the best I've had in Pa hands down! Thanks Billy for having an awesome joint. Nice cozy atmosphere and live music. It's a yes for me ! read more

Last time I was at this joint it was Looper's. I'm not sure when it changed hands (I don't get out to bars much since I have kids) but it had the same sort of feel...but more chill. They had cool twinkle lights criss-crossing above the bar which I thought looked neat...they have AWESOME art hanging around the walls. The reason I was out was to see a friends band play. They are a 5 piece band and rocked it. There was a pretty decent crowd. I'm not sure if this is the kind of place for bigger bands because of the size of the place, but who am I to judge. I think it would be cool with low key performances...like acoustic guitar players and singers. The drinks were usual pricing. A vodka soda was like $4 or so and wine ranged from $6-8ish bucks. They have a back patio which was nice but it was a random chilly July night so no one was hanging out there. There is also a full menu but I didn't eat there so I have nothing to say about the cuisine. Looked like general bar food and beyond. Seemed like a chill place, Looper's used to seem shi-shi so this is a nice change for normal people. read more

Place has a rustic, trendy vibe. Ordered the "Not your Moms Deviled Eggs" and a House Salad - I think they scraped the onions off of their Smoked Salmon dish, cause I feel like I ate a Lox Bagel - Salad was really sorry. Have an ok selection of beer, their hamburgers look excellent on the menu but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to have one - will make a point of it next time. Prices are high IMO. Bartender seemed kind of overwhelmed, for the amount of people there - typical you're not a regular so ah you might might not be important but we'll take your money and don't forget the 20% tip experience. Owner or manager was a little standoffish, maybe a bad day? I might try this place again, might not - wasn't bad, wasn't great. Hope they succeed, only time will tell. This is a generous review I'd say closer to a two star then a three. read more

I'm in town tonight for the Avett Brothers concert at The Stacks and stopped in here to pre-game. It should be noted that with the humidity today the outside temperature feels like 100 degrees. Once inside I noticed that there was a pretty good sized crowd, most of them being in town for the concert. The bar sits approximately 20 customers and then they have a rail across from that that will hold about 20 more. On top of all that they have several tables and booths - a good sized joint. Well, on this particular night their AC unit could not keep up with the outside temps. Furthermore, there was one bartender on shift and she was working very hard to keep up with the demand and kept smiling the entire time. We ordered an appetizer (corned beef egg rolls) and two platters (cheeseburger and grilled chicken wrap). We were nervous about the food due to the hectic atmosphere, but I have to admit that the food was very good. This place receives my 5-Star rating based on the barmaid's awesome attitude under pressure as well as the kitchen's expertise. I will definitely stop here again the next time I am in town P.S. - their Happy Hour (4-6 PM) has very good specials. read more

Going with five stars because I have met the owners and have visited six or seven times. Food is very good, and the place is populated with wonderful people. I have only snacked on the food but it is clearly better than what was there before. Highly recommended for meeting friends and getting a bite before or after a south side event. Last night, had the pork tacos and they were delicious. Everything is made from scratch (except the fries) and the freshness is evident. Pork is roasted and pulled each day and the soft shell tortillas were nicely grilled. The flavors were mild and well blended. read more

OHHH AM I SO IMPRESSED!! I came in an ordered a couple apps, one entre for myself, and a drink and really really enjoyed myself. I like the new decor, staff was excellent, the menu is right up my alley (didn't really like the Looper's menu). I am very very very happy with this new bar and highly recommend!! read more

Great place. Well decorated and maintained while still being chill and casual. Never had anything that wasn't yummy. Owners are very friendly as is the staff. They're handling the pandemic the best I've seen and the best anyone can ask. The patio is a great place to sit out on when the weather is nice. read more

Went here last night for a late dinner around 9pm. Food was meh. I got the black bean burger and it was certainly a good fix after a long day of travel, very filling, but not super tasty. My mom got a half salad that was HUGE (not sure how big the full salad would be!). The dressing on her salad was very good. We also got the fried pickles which had dill in the batter yet were sweet pickles.. inventive, yes, but I'm not sure if it translated into a good dish. The mayo sauce was good. Service was a 3/10 but it was late at night so maybe they were tired. It took forever for her to get us our check, and we could see her folding silver wear without checking to see that we were ready to pay. A big plus was that it was cheep! A good deal for a good amount of food. Overall, a good space with a cute idea, maybe just don't expect much for late night. However, the bar looked great and I imagine we might have had a better experience had we sat there! read more

The waitress was nice. Maybe for a College dive bar to get drunk at. The food was gross. Save your money and just drink there.

This is southside 313 it is a truly decent location. The foods alright, the drinks are good, and the service is less than sub par. This is third occasion at the establishment and I am not impressed. I made a reservation and was not seated for half and hour with no line at the door. If they got their stuff together I would be here every weekend. read more

Drinks aren't strong. Food isn't that good. Vibes are great tho. Waiters are super nice. Outdoor seating is awesome. Indoor seating isn't as fun. Don't get the salad or burger or nachos. Handling the plandemic well. If you see a group of college kids in the big table in the back outside, throw eggs at them, or buy them a round. read more

I'd give negative stars if I could. Apparently around close they have a "private club" that they need to get to and will start being rude. I'd go to social still instead (down the street). Better drinks and no secret societies that need to be rushed to. read more

Stopped here on a whim after work and we were actually so impressed we came back 6 days later. The food is surprisingly good - they may even have one of the best burgers in the Valley. (Juicy, perfectly cooked, flavorful, great toppings, fab roll, and oh, did I mention juicy? Juicy.) Whatever is going on in the kitchen the quality is well above your normal bar food for this area but they're playing it very low key. Menu is somewhat small but there's a good mix of items. Everything seems to be homemade from the fried pickles to the seriously amazing mac & cheese with ham. Nice drinks/wine list, and the prices all around very reasonable, especially for Bethlehem these days. We had 1 app, 2 sandwiches, 4 drinks and the bill was around $64. The service is super nice and drinks were refilled quickly. Be aware the place is small: Handful of large 4-6 person booths and about 6 2tops along a banquette which can be moved together or apart to accommodate different size parties. Some minor downsides: It's Seat Yourself and as mentioned, small. If there's no tables I guess you just sit at the bar. (I felt guilty snagging a booth when it was only 2 of us and took a table instead, but others apparently didn't share in my attack of conscience.) Also, it's kind of bright in there when sitting at the booths. Funky light fixtures but the wattage made it feel like diner-type lighting. It seems a little dimmer at the tables. Lastly, the burger is so juicy the paper lining the bottom of your basket is going to fall apart and turn to mush. Get a side plate. Or stay away, even better, because I want to be able to get a table next Friday night. read more

Service was awesome and the food was even better. The atmosphere is great and has been revamped to give a modern/ pub feel...very cool industrial/Bethlehem Steel decor. A must try for anyone in the area. Ask for Jake. read more

I used to stop here after getting my Monthly haircut. Servers were friendly and I liked the spicey PB wings Came in about 2 Months ago, sat at the bar. 2 bartenders completely ignored me for 10 minutes. One was entering sales reports on the system I think, but no acknowledgement that I was even there. No "hello" or "we'll be right over" Eventually a party of 6 walked in and was immediately greeted. I was disgusted, walked out, and will never come back Customer service is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING in the service industry. Expensive lesson to learn read more

We went there with a party of six last weekend and we were thoroughly impressed. First is the service. We were served by this great gentleman who hit the perfect balance of being social and efficient. He seemed really into getting to know what brought us here while still taking down everyone's order promptly Second, the food. We had fried pickles and nachos for starters and the servings were easily enough for a large group. The burgers are the best in the south side hands down (get the Q burger, no regrets). The drinks are a little pricey but it's still a great bang for your buck Finally the environment. The Southside really needed a bar that can be a little more than the local dive without feeling like a snooty NY wanna-be and I think it's finally found it's savior. With a great ambience and good music (live music on weekends), This isn't a bar you just go to, this is a bar that you can relax and have a good time with your friends So go ahead come all and cover often to this bar that this area desperately needs read more

I was only ever at Loopers once or twice. They redecorated, and the patio out back has a nice new pergola and tables. The menu is also different. Pretty simple stuff, which I appreciate because they do it well. The bacon mac n cheese is delicious, and their burgers are great, especially with Bill's pickles. The one thing that hasn't changed since it was Loopers is the bartender Timmy, and that's a good thing. Cool guy, good service, fun to chat with. I was there with a couple friends, and it was like we were watching Thursday night football with him while he let us drink his beer and got us food. Sounds pretty good... read more

Not bad but not great. I had the sriracha chicken skewers which were pretty good then later I had the 313 balls which were decent. Not a huge beer selection and more ipa's than anything. They did have some interesting cocktails I plan to try. I wasn't wowed but it's a bar I shouldn't expect to be. read more

313 is a must even just for the drinks! Pickletini is absolutely wonderful. The owner makes his own spicy pickles and bartender Erin makes a delightful libations. We've tried 3-4 others on their signature cocktail list and weren't disappointed. Erin's incredibly fun to chat with and her playlists are also a wonderful change from the top 20 hits playlist at other bars. We haven't had much on the food menu to make a strong opinion. read more

Visited after working a long day at a local holiday event so we didn't want a heavy meal. Good beer selection and cocktails (IPA and cucumber mint gin ricky). We shared nachos and fried pickles. Both were good for a bar food. I think they said everything is make in house. Nachos from the fryer and the fried pickles are made in house, too. The sandwiches looked good. We'd stop by again. It's not huge and it was crowded when we stopped by on a Friday night. Live music. read more

Since my original update I've gone about a dozen times, tried nearly every item on the menu, and I can speak on behalf of all of my friends that we hope 313 will be around for a long, long time. It's a modern classic. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with the food quality. While the menu items seem simple and classic, there is an extra level of care and inventiveness to bring something exciting to every meal. I can definitely recommend the fried pickles. These were some of the best I've ever tried. On top of the great taste, all the food is very reasonably priced. All in all, it's a great value. read more

Looking for a good place in Bethlehem that my picky husband would like too and stumbled upon this place. We were extremely happy! Great food, drinks, and service!! My only complaint, if you can call it that, is that I wish the burgers were bigger because they are soooo good they go down way too fast. read more

Went on mother's day. Pretty small place. Nice waitresses. Pretty good pub food. The PBJ wings stood out to post. They were yummy.

Shut up and get here. The Namballs were delicious, like pork wontons without the wrapper. Beware that the sauce is super spicy, but just the way I love it. Would definitely return! One recommendation...add candied bacon (or some clever, flavorings to bacon) to the menu as a side to the eggs. Decor is hip and music was good. Waiter was very informative and cute. read more
