Library Lounge at Skytop Lodge feels like stepping back in time in the best possible way…read more From the moment you walk in, everything slows down. Dim lighting, big comfortable leather chairs, bookshelves lining the walls, a fully stocked bar, and historic photos throughout the space create a classic lodge vibe that feels timeless without being stuffy. It is cozy, polished, and incredibly relaxing. The staff is knowledgeable and clearly takes pride in what they serve. The craft cocktails are well made and thoughtful, and if you prefer beer, there are solid options there too. As a bourbon lover, I especially enjoyed their private barrel pick served neat, a real treat and easily a standout pour. This is a perfect pre-dinner or post-evening stop, we have done both, and it works beautifully either way. Dress is slightly casual but leans upscale, and while pricing is a bit higher than average, it feels completely worth it for the setting, quality, and experience. We sank into the chairs, talked story with friends, and lost track of time, which really says it all. If you are anywhere near Skytop Lodge, make sure this is on your list. Plan extra time, you will want to linger.

There was live music in the 2nd floor bar, but it was packed when we went up after our dinner so we decided to try again another time. Great food, super-friendly staff, and incredible setting!

We were there with a large party for a celebration which we reserved a table for and spoke with staff prior to the event. The gratuity was included in the bill, so the server had no incentive to check on us or replenish drinks. Steaks were served without knives. No one checked on our meals. We had to ask for dishes that were never brought out. One guest never got their dessert. We had to flag the server down many times. No one took any leftover food home because it was so awful! We doubled checked our bill the next day and saw a charge for 13 espresso martinis that we didn't order. It was a large party and this went unnoticed at the time of payment. The next day we looked it over and found the $156 mistake!

It was a Sunday evening so we went in search of a place that had the NFL football games, beer and good food and we found it right here! Danielle was working behind the bar and you couldn't find a better bartender and great personality ... She turned an unexpected break down into a pleasant enjoyable evening. We started with their bruschetta which was a little different than the others we've had before in that it had black olives in it, but was very good. It was a large portion and came with plenty of toast points to enjoy it on. For dinner we split the fireside special which was a 6 ounce New York strip on Italian bread with fried onions & peppers. We opted for a mixture of hot and sweet peppers and oh my were the hot peppers HOT! But the sandwich was very good and all the ingredients were fresh. We met Ron, who I believe is the owner ... He was extremely nice about our predicament and even extended a recommendation on who to contact at the dealership that I believe helped us out the following day with our mechanical issue. It was definitely the service and friendliness of the staff at the bar that pushed this review up to a four star. The people of Hazelton are lucky to have such a nice establishment and great people in their area.

The Tarot is one of my favorites, and it comes with a tarot card that you pick yourself! I started with a french fry app called the Scranton Strangler and it was amazing! It was a generous portion with lots of toppings. For an entree I got the steak flatbread which smelled incredible and tasted just as good. My friend got the Buffalo mac and cheese that came in a skull and another got the holy cow Burger, which came in a church shadow box. I tried the apple crisp dessert, which was apple, orange and cranberry that came in a cornmeal type crust that was really good. Service was top notch and this is definitely a place I would visit again.

I came here on a Friday night just to have a drink. I just got into town and I read that this house…read morewas The inspiration to the movie, The haunted house by Disney. So I wanted to check it out and then I read that they have a bar in the house open to the public. The house is very cool looking from the outside. It's lit up pretty nice and there's a parking lot half a block away. When you walk in you notice it is a huge old school house like hundreds of years old. And there's a little bar set up in a corner. After you get your drink, you can find a seat somewhere in the house and enjoy your drink. There's also a little board games, a fireplace , and a piano if you choose to play it. I had a great time at this mansion. I think we had about three drinks so I got a nice little buzz on. Also, the bartender was very nice, I do not remember her name but I told her I would be writing a review and she got really happy with that. She also told me a spooky ghost story from one of the rooms in the house. I won't spoil it but it was a good story. I would definitely return to this house for a drink and possibly to stay for the weekend because it is also a bed and breakfast. Also they do a murder mystery weekend there but I did not experience that.

The experience provided does not meet expectations for the price point required…read more Spent the weekend doing their murder mystery package, and overall it was okay. 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.

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!
