LV Eats – Bethlehem BrewWorks – Bethlehem, PA

Bethlehem BrewWorks is not a new topic of discussion here on LV Scene, I’ve written about them before and will probably write about them again. More often than not, when I go to the BrewWorks I’m going there for a drink with friends, not for dinner. But this past weekend, myself and some friends from out of town decided to grab some dinner (and yes, drinks) at the locally famous brewpub.

Despite the fact that we showed up on a Saturday night without reservations and the dinner rush in full swing, me and my friends were seated immediately in a comfortable booth near the “fishbowl” section of the dining room. The BBW has a good number of tables and is able to accommodate lots of hungry people. Our service was courteous and quick, you’d never know we were in the middle of the dinner rush from the speed at which our entrees were brought out. The only wait that seemed longer than normal was for our dessert at the end of the meal.

For dinner, I had the 2500 Degree chicken sandwich, a delicious, yet spicy, take on the traditional buffalo chicken sandwich. The marinated chicken breast was grilled to perfection and topped with buffalo sauce, jalapeno peppers, pepper jack cheese and served on a fresh roll. For those of you who like their dinner with a little kick, I highly recommend this sandwich. But if heat isn’t your thing, there’s no need to worry. The BrewWorks has a full menu with a wide variety of burgers, steaks, salads, and pasta, I’m sure you’ll find something more your style.

A review of the BBW wouldn’t be complete without talking about their delicious brews. Bethlehem BrewWorks is known far and wide for their awesome, premise brewed beer. In my opinion, beer doesn’t get any better tasting then beer drank in the building it’s been brewed in. Don’t believe me? Order a draft from the BrewWorks and see for yourself. Saturday night I was able to enjoy the BrewWorks take on a traditional fall beer, the Oktoberfest. Not too hoppy but not too sweet, the Oktoberfest contains a subtle hint of caramel and not-s0-subtle hints of delciousness. You’re not going to find Yuengling Lager or Miller Lite at the BrewWorks, and that’s a good thing. Do yourself a favor and try whatever is in season at the Brewworks beer garden.

The BrewWorks has been been in business for over a decade, let’s hope they continue to serve Lehigh Valley diners for many more to come.

I enjoy bourbon, dark beer, and watching Man v. Food on the Travel Channel. I started LV Scene because I felt the Lehigh Valley's "alternative papers" didn't do a good job covering the Valley's growing nightlife scene. I hope that you find our content useful and informative. Thanks for checking us out!
