Berks County’s bars and pubs are serving up more than craft beer and drinks – they’re serving up great food, too. And burgers, wings and pizza are just the beginning. Read about all of the great bar and pub food we’ve tried on this Berks County Eats journey.
Review: Bixler’s Lodge
Berks County Eats heads to the base of Mount Penn for an inspired meal at Bixler's Lodge, a restaurant with character that is part dive, part historic inn.
Review: Snuzzles
Mertztown is not a destination, unless you're looking for Snuzzles - the local pizza, sandwich and Stromboli joint that has been packing in the customers for decades.
Review: The Pike Cafe
There are hundreds of restaurants in Berks County, but only one that's "World Famous." We visit the World Famous Pike Cafe for their famous wings and more.
Review: Fork & Ale
In December, Fork and Ale opened after a two-year renovation of the former Tim's Ugly Mug in Douglassville. The result is more than just another bar, it's a true gastropub with craft food and drink.
Review: Gettin’ Crabby at the Crab Barn
It was the most highly anticipated restaurant in Berks County for four years. Gettin' Crabby at the Crab Barn is finally open, and it is a great addition to our area.
Review: The Liberty Taproom
On a whim, Julie took us to the Liberty Taproom where we discovered a cool little place with amazing pub food.
Review: Bernville Eagle Hotel
The Bernville Eagle Hotel is one of many small town hotels and inns that have been serving their communities for generations. Today, the Eagle serves Caribbean-inspired cuisine in its barroom setting.
Review: The Bridge Inn
On an overdue visit to the Bridge Inn in Pleasantville, we enjoy some of the restaurant's more original dishes: the tequila fettuccine and The Bridge Chicken.
Review: Basin Street Hotel
School's out of session, and that makes this an even better time to check out Kutztown's many restaurants, including the Basin Street Hotel and its signature sandwiches and wings.
Review: Giannotti’s Country Manor
Two weeks ago we reviewed Giannotti's Italian Kitchen. This week, we look at another of the family's restaurants, Giannotti's Country Manor in Alsace for prime rib and lobster tail.
Review: Van Reed Inn
The Van Reed Inn re-opened a little more than a year ago with new owners and a fresh look. A year later, it has proven to be a successful revival.
Review: The Knight’s Pub at Stokesay Castle
Two months after visiting Stokesay Castle for a mixer event, I returned for my first real meal at the Knight's Pub, and it was everything I had hoped it would be.
