This may be an exceptional place, according to the reviews.... Unfortunately I had a horrible experience during Bethlehems St. Patrick's Bar Crawl at this location. It was absolutely horrendous. The bar was crowded, as it would be at a bar crawl, okay fine. I waited 10 minutes for a bartender to come up to me, when they finally did, I asked the bartender what do the tickets that come with the bar crawl come with. She SNATCHED The tickets out of my hand ripped them up and walked away. 5 minutes later she came back and THREW a lanyard at me and then proceeded to go to the people next to me. I tried to get her attention and then asked again about the tickets and if I could order my drinks. She looked at me and again walked away. Never answered a question I had or even asked what I wanted to order. The same lady comes back and tells me someone else is going to help me. Another lady comes up and asks what I wanted. So i told her AGAIN , I'm just trying to figure out what these tickets are for. She tells me she doesn't think the tickets are used at the bar and once again WALKS AWAY to go and talk to the previous lady. The second lady comes back and completely ignores me and gets someone else's drinks. My friend tried to ask the same thing abt the tickets. If the tickets aren't used at this location we wanted them back, it was rude to just take them. No one answers my friend abt the tickets and the first bartender took a stack of tickets behind the counter and threw them at her and told her to get out. It was absolutely ridiculous and no communication whatsoever. If you're overwhelmed from the event YOU SHOULDVE CALLED OFF. If you don't like your job then go find another one. I understand the circumstances of the situation, but again, very rude service given, when I was only being respectful and trying to ask questions. I will never come here or do a bethlehem bar crawl again.

Sorry, the chicken barley soup was terrible. It had no flavor. Don’t waste yourmoney! Yes, it was in the past 45 days. I know because i was there for a job interview. You had chicken barley soup and is was sub par. I also wonder how you could pass the health inspection with no dishwasher and only a two bay sink. City health inspector must be paid off

Folks will say this is a dive bar and I will tell you those people have never had a drink before eleven a.m. Joe's is a welcoming place no matter who you are or how thick your wallet is and it's probably the best place on the north side of Bethlehem that tourists haven't ruined yet. Best cheesesteak in Bethlehem and my wife swears by the Caesar salad. Also, don't sleep on the soups. They are gourmet and put the soups at higher priced and more pretentious places to shame. The staff is friendly and attentive and kids are welcome. Only things to know is its cash only (low fee ATM inside) and bring quarters for the novelty vending machine in the men's room.

Thought this was a dive bar and was surprised to find great music, fantastic service and a crazy clean bar. Restroom was spotless which was amazing for a little bar like this. We will be back!

Can’t say enough good things about Joe’s!! Always a great vibe walking in there. You can tell they have a lot of regulars but it doesn’t feel clique-y. Food is great - I live for their pierogies sautéed with butter & onions ?. Major beer selection. Darts. Outdoor parklet area. Bartenders ROCK!! ?
