Advertised as a "dive" bar but actually upscale rustic

There are several vegan or easy-to-make-vegan items on the menu, as previous reviews have listed. I opted for the veggie tacos, which were tasty and fully satisfying without the cheese and sour cream. Atmosphere loud but colorful. Beer selection excellent! We thoroughly enjoyed having dinner here. Beware: it's cash-only, but there's an ATM inside.

Pros: Tasty, satisfying, vegan or optionally vegan items, Fun upscale rustic atmosphere

Never disappoints

I’ve been eating here for years. I recommend going when the weather is nice and sitting outside. Great selection of beer. I recommend the cauliflower wings, veggie tacos, and Beyond burger.

CASH ONLY — At least they had food

Very slow service, cash only, but at least they had some vegan options, even if I wasn’t exactly in the mood for junk food. The cauliflower wings were a little scary- soggy and absolutely gigantic. Not convinced the sauce was totally vegan. The beyond burger was actually seasoned, which was a nice change, and had basic toppings. Very plain but it still looked better than the meat burgers.

Tasty for the whole family

I was very happy with the vegan options at this restaurant; all the vegetarian items were clearly marked on the menu (as well as GF, though nothing seemed to be both), and it was easy to make things vegan. I was intrigued by the vegan "wings" made from mushrooms and cauliflower, so I had to try both, as well as the vegan potstickers and the veggie tacos without cheese and sour cream. They were all delicious and I ended up taking a lot home! I was in a group with a six-year-old, a meat-eater, and some pescetarians, and everyone was happy.

This restaurant is not in the main historic area of Jim Thorpe, but across the river, so it's less convenient to being touristy. However, it was not exactly out of our way going home.

Pros: several vegan options, friendly staff, unusual offerings--not just a Beyond burger!

Cons: noisy atmosphere, cash-only

Excellent upscale bar

Awesome selection of beers and drinks (check Barnivore to make sure they’re vegan). The hot vegan options are potstickers, cauliflower and/or mushroom wings, veggie tacos minus cheese/sour cream, and Beyond burgers minus cheese/aioli. The fries are delicious as well! Highly recommend, and they have outdoor seating in the summer. Reservations suggested.

Pros: Tasty vegan options, Delicious food, Choice of wing sauces

Cons: A little expensive for a “dive” bar, Limited options, Crowded indoor seating

The cauliflower tacos were on point! Same with the pot stickers.

Decent options for sure, only improvement is the same for any place that serves vegan options (burgers, tacos) is to get some dairy free cheese my dude!! Lol

Best fried cauliflower

I got the vegan cauliflower and mushrooms and the vegan potstickers. Both of were very good but the fried cauliflower and mushrooms were amazing and the prices were very reasonable.

Pros: Delicious food , Reasonable prices

Cons: Limited options

Good atmosphere but limited vegan options

Nice place to have a beer but the only vegan options were cauliflower wings, mushroom wings and a beyond burger (minus the aioli)

Five star dive bar

Stopped in last night for a beer and ended up having a delicious snack. Mushroom parm sandwich, minus the cheese, with vegan breading was sooo good! And the cauliflower “wings” in chili sauce were delish. And you can’t beat the prices!

Pros: Delicious, Cheap

Cons: None
