The 16 best bars and drinks in New Hope

We visited for lunch. Very pleasant and inviting atmosphere. We decided to try the $55 special, which offered a nice variety of dishes. While the service was satisfactory, it didn’t stand out as exceptional. The highlight of our meal was the squash and pomegranate salad, and the haddock chowder. bursting with vibrant flavors and textures. The fried chicken sandwich was another standout, crispy and savory, making it a delight to eat. However, the chocolate tart cake fell a bit flat and didn’t quite meet our expectations. For our next visit, we’re considering sitting at the bar to enjoy a more casual experience.

This used to be my favorite eatery in New Hope. I have eaten here countless numbers of time. The food and cocktails were amazing. The place is quaint and cozy with both upstairs seating on couches and a nice outside area. I recently went here on a date and the food was subpar. The waiter with the long hair is amazing. He was attentive and friendly. By far the best part of this experience. Other staff members presented to the table serving food and were unable to answer basic questions due to language barriers. The food this time around was bland. The octopus was awful. The meatball sauce was too sweet. The oysters arrived in a puddle of water instead of on ice. I was embarrassed that I had recommended this place. I’m not sure what has happened over the last few months as this is my go to place but I will not be returning.

Fancy-ish dining in a beautiful, small, colonial period building. The food is good, but in my opinion, does not justify the pricing (over $30 for nearly every entree). A few standouts were the lower priced snacks we got (~$10 each): charred Brussels sprouts and deviled eggs. Dessert was thankfully, excellent. The cocktail I ordered turned out to be the wateriest drink I’ve ever had, but the server was professional enough to take it off the check. The other cocktails on the menu were nearly all Vodka based and rather uninteresting, but the wine was great. The atmosphere inside is outstanding; a real highlight. I would come back, though for a special occasion given the cost. I advise against the cocktails.

Planned a trip to visit new Hope and made a reservation for dinner. Went on a Monday night and it wasn't too busy. The place is quaint but has plenty of different seating options. The service was good, could have been better but everyone was very friendly and helpful. Cocktails were very strong and the food was tasty but wasn't worth the price. Ordered the duck meatballs and they came out cold in the center. All of the entrees sounded great on the menu but lacked flavor, depth, and had temperature issues. My scallops were overcooked and vegetables were on the greasy side. Overall, if you want to splurge I would recommend getting some drinks and snacks and you will have a great experience!

A bit overpriced for a chef who brought to the menu amazing selection of nice dishes, but somehow doesn’t manage to prepare them well. The place is wonderful all tavern with great history. Cocktails are decent and no mistake. But food was either overcooked or undercooked, salty or unseasoned, basically everything was false. It still gives authentic taste, but you could say something is missing on each bite. Disappointing but okay.

What a beautiful place. When you know haw many years is this place and how authentic it is, it's a gem. Beautiful inside so cozy, food delicious along with drinks. Definitely coming back. Great service! Clean bathrooms. Seating outside with heaters.

My partner and I reserved a table for the wrong day and they were still able to get us in on a Saturday night! Great portions for snacks and appetizers along with a large selection of wine and spirits. The servers were delightful and knowledgeable. Somewhat inconsistent with check ins but to be expected on a Saturday 5pm rush. Will be returning!

The food was okay, but the breakfast cocktails were very good. I loved the coffee mugs they had, they don't have the same look, just a hodgepodge collection. I got M&M cup, which was great. The food was good. The service could have been a tad better mainly because our server seemed to be having a bad day (maybe it was just that particular day). The price is also on a bit of the higher side.

The first dining experience we had on our recent trip to New Hope, PA was Karla’s. We arrived for a late dinner and were greeted by friendly staff and an eclectic, quaint and homey feeling dining space. This unique restaurant is filled with artistic and delightfully charming decor and boasts multiple dining rooms flanked by a hopping little bar. To start we ordered a Pineapple Jalapeno Margarita, Cucumber Gimlet and the Baked Brie appetizer. The margarita was a beautiful blend of sweet and heat and the gimlet was a wonderfully refreshing departure from the summer sizzle. The Baked Brie was generously drizzled with a buttery honey and accompanied by soft, crusty bread and a spiced olive oil. We selected the Glazed Sesame Soy Salmon and the Grilled Skirt Steak for our entrees. The sweet and tangy salmon adorned a medley of fresh vegetables, and perfectly cooked soba noodles. The dish was reminiscent of a really yummy teriyaki-style salmon. The Skirt Steak was drenched in rich brown gravy and served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The steak was well-cooked but could have benefited from a tad more seasoning and perhaps a bit of heat. Overall, Karla’s was very enjoyable and I definitely recommend stopping by this sweet little spot for a bite, cocktails and an overall good time!

Exceptionally great food and great service. It’s a quaint little eatery with many different rooms including an outdoor patio. The service was well pointed and efficient. Most of all the food was amazing. It was fresh and tasty without being any funny type of bougie recipe.

Great place to eat. You must try the goat cheese and salmon on multigrain. The coconut shrimp and the creamsicle drink. Staff is friendly. Amtomosphere is nice.

First let me say, the restaurant design and seating is very peacefully and enchanting. Great place to sip on a hot or cool drink. I can’t rank the service because we never experienced that option. Quick, take a number and be done. After a reasonable wait, a nice preparation of food was delivered only to be extremely cool. No concerns from management. A simple credit and you can leave now. The market down the street was awesome and very accommodating . New Hope is wonderful and will be back, minus a cold food establishment.

Great place to come visit during a nice sunny Sunday. Pricing is super friendly, staff is great and the food and portions are more than enough. Good variety for brunch and lunch and dinner. Plus they have a full bar

One of my favorite places in Newhope. Karla’s is unpretentious, with good food. The staff makes you feel at home. Will definitely visit again.

Go for the balcony ambiance!! Tapas are incredible. Had a good tequila cocktail but definitely more of a wine menu. We tried the ricotta tomato bruschetta and ceviche tostadas. Both great but dreaming of the ceviche! The sandwiches were just okay.

Nectar is quite the gem of a find. Huge assortment of wines and cocktails along with many small plate (quality) dishes. Very Mediterranean with the food choices with some unique items. The Petnat and Pinot Noir wine parings were great. Be sure to bring friends as the food is meant to be shared. Will definitely be back as there way to many great dishes yet to be experienced.

Nektar is such a great spot. Was a great night, able to sit outside and enjoy some great food and wine. The tuna tacos and Wings by far were the favorite but everything was truly wonderful and Brittany was fantastic!

Food was amazing. Got the scallops with thai curry broth. Bread was great. View is beautiful. However I was sad that my server complained about me and their customers, I think they thought I was out of earshot or had left but I was in the bathroom and could hear. Either way, it soured my experience. Maybe next time I'll order it for take out.

We visited Nektar for lunch on our most recent trip to New Hope, PA The space is unexpected and elegant, offering diners both inside and outdoor seating options. We were seated outside on a beautiful terrace nestled in a lush landscape that overlooks the bustle of the town. The menu is an eclectic assortment of small plates, flatbreads, salads and charcuterie boards, all of which compliment the generous array of beer, wine and whiskey options. We decided on a selection of small plates to share and the chilled red wine flight. The wine flight was a spectacularly curated succession from light and faintly carbonated to a more rounded, smoky full-body selection. Each offering had clearly delineated notes and flavors that perfectly complemented our meal. Our small plate selections included the Fried Cheese “Saganaki, Spinach and Chickpeas, Scallops and Tuna Tacos. The “Saganaki" style fried cheese was a delicious Halloumi breaded and served with lime, jalapeno and cilantro. The combination of the slightly salty and nutty cheese with the heat of the jalapeno, acidity from the lime and herbaceous notes of cilantro are fried cheese perfection!! The Spinach and Chickpeas were served with crostini. The saffron and cumin broth was very light and we felt it could have been enhanced by a bit more salt and perhaps some heat or acidity to break up the inherent starchiness of the chickpeas. The Scallops came enveloped in a flavorful curry and coconut broth and were delicately prepared. The curry notes were mild and the coconut and lime flavors took center stage to create a light and refreshing bite. The Tuna Tacos were fresh and perfectly prepared. I opted for no crema for this order, which can sometimes result in a dry taco, but the bright and delicious tomatillo sauce in these tacos ensured every bite was juicy and flavor packed!! These tacos were the shining star of the meal for me… delish!! Overall, Nektar is an awesome place to check out in New Hope! The beautiful space, attentive and congenial staff, absolutely amazing wine, beer and whiskey offerings and diverse and delicious small plates should not be missed!!

Absolutely perfect summer night despite the crazy humidity. Food, server, vibes all were unmatched. We enjoyed so many dishes and tried tapas style between the 4 of us. We truly enjoyed the truffle ravioli, the wings, and the honey tomato bruschetta the most!

Took a friend to New Hope and stumbled upon Nektar. The food offered a wide variety selection. The staff was extremely friendly and professional and the atmosphere was beautiful. I highly recommend the Nektar dining experience.

We always love stopping by Stella’s whenever we do a little day trip to New Hope. The vibe is super chill, the service is always on point, and sitting outside is such a treat. We kicked things off with the seasonal cornbread—really tasty, nice and moist, not dry at all. I just wish it had that crunchy, toasty top layer to give it a little extra texture. For brunch, we went with the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and the Southern Comfort. The Southern Comfort was a winner—chicken was juicy, biscuits were soft and fluffy, total comfort food. The Lemon Ricotta Pancakes were decent, but I wish the blueberries were baked inside instead of just on top, and the pancakes themselves were a bit denser than I like. I would definitely recommend Stella’s and would come back to try some more dishes

I'll start by saying, my first impression was during my call to verify if they were dog friendly and if their patio area would be open. The young lady who answered the phone was kind, friendly and made us feel welcome right out of the gate. She offered our small party of 4 (plus a pup) a reservation and let me know they also offer a special menu for dogs. We arrived and the staff were all fantastic. It was my first time bringing our puppy out to eat in public, and he was very well behaved. The tables were a little closer together than I had anticipated, but it worked out fine and both customers and staff alike were very excited to meet him, as well as being very accommodating. Benny seemed to rate the beef and chicken pup meals 10000/10. We tried (and shared) a variety of items on the menu and nothing disappointed. Everything tasted fresh and the combinations were very well thought out. Looking forward to future visits here!

My husband and I made a reservation for my mother's birthday. We made a reservation asking for riverview but we had to ask again when we were about to be seated non-riverview seating. That is the only reason why I'm not giving 5 stars. If the person who was seating us looked at our request and at least asked us that only riverview seating is high top seatings, I would've give 5 stars. Exception of that, we had a great time. The food, service, and atmosphere were great. We ordered burrata with salad and fruits and gnocchi as appetizers. Salmon, scallops, and croquette for entree. All the dishes felt fresh, tasty, and well-thought-of. The dishes presented and tasted pleasant. We would come again.

One of my fav place in New Hope. We sat outside and it was so beautiful. Staffs are so kind and sweet, one of the hostess asked me if I needed help zipping up my dress in the ladies' room. And of course food and drinks are excellent. I can’t wait to go back.

We celebrated my friend’s wedding anniversary over brunch at Stella’s in New Hope. We started with their burrata salad with figs, Asian pears, pomegranate and spiced nuts, For main courses, we had the avocado toast, lemon ricotta pancakes, and the ahi tuna bowl. I tried their Orchid Beach cocktail made with grapefruit-flavored vodka; my friend had the Stella Spritz, with a lemongrass-infused vodka. both were very good. Everything was delicious and the service by Lindsay was excellent. Please note: parking is $30!

NEW HOPE, PA: whenever we visit an unfamiliar area, we always talk to locals about what they love, and we receive fantastic recommendations 100% of the time. The streak stays at 100% with a fabulous referral for Stella New Hope, a restaurant right along the Delaware River with an emphasis on local ingredients. Dog friendly dining can be found on the second level outdoor deck and the ground floor outdoor bar, and this place is a must-visit to enjoy the sweeping views of the river overlooking New Jersey and elevated American cuisine and drinks. We indulged in some hand-crafted cocktails and dug the happening atmosphere amongst theatre goers, wedding guests, and visitors just happy to be enjoying a beautiful day! We have to go back and experience a meal, and Brie is looking forward to choosing something from their Pup Menu which offers ground beef, chicken, and salmon as options. All proceeds from the Pup Menu are donated to Animal Alliance of NJ! You can also find their Adoptable Dog of the Month on their website along with their current operating hours. Dogs are close to the owners of Stella’s heart as the restaurant is named after their pup, Stella! Connected to Stella is the Ghost Light Inn, a dog friendly boutique hotel that is immaculately maintained. We chatted with Raz at the front desk who was so friendly and happy to talk to us about the room options and his wonderful travels all over the world. The sister hotel, Carriage House of New Hope is also dog friendly! Consider them for your next trip.

It’s a great restaurant for outdoor dining (summer evenings). The food, the view, the vibe ♥️ Also if you coming to see Summer Fireworks in New Hope it’s the place to be. You are going to see fireworks as VIP while enjoying your meal and having fun. Forgot to mention, yes, you need to book a table in advance, at list check availability the same day a couple of hours prior to you desired time.

I came to New Hope for the first time during Memorial Day Weekend and I was so lucky to came across this place to have the best dinner during my trip. We had burrata as appetizer and it was delicioussss!! Form main entrance we ordered Short Ribs with Risotto that’s was out of this world! Also we had the grilled octopus (it’s an appetizer but I wasn’t that hungry to get a main entrance) and it was perfectly cooked, flavorful, good size, love it!!! The service was very attentive and the place is so so gorgeous!! 100% for a romantic dinner! Thanks, I’m definitely coming back!

Go for the atmosphere- at the expensive side, but good for special occasions.. or more like a romantic dinner! Amazing vibe.. interiors make you feel like you are in a tropical area! Key west or Miami vibe!! Food is good. I am vegetarian, they customized the entree for me! Loved it! Servers are nice. They look after you! I really like it!! Nice drinks options! Get well dressed, and feel the vibe! Can find a table on OpenTable and book it from there!! Difficult to find a parking on busy Saturday nights… but you will find in 5 mins walks area..

This was our first time visiting New Hope, and with so many food recommendations from friends and family, we were overwhelmed with choices. We decided on Zoubi, and it ended up being our favorite spot of the trip---surprisingly, no one had recommended this gem to us! The food was amazing, but the true standout (and the reason we’ll be recommending Zoubi first to anyone who asks) is the ambiance. Cozy, intimate, and romantic, with a magical garden setting, chandeliers, and glowing candle lights, it felt like a hidden escape.

This is a beautiful place. We booked a girls’ trip because we saw this restaurant on Instagram. The food was amazing and the atmosphere with so the flowers is beautiful. We had great service also. Best crab cake I have ever had!!!!

Had reservations with a friend on Friday at 6:30pm. Place is small and was really busy so took like 10mins before we were seated. Very a cute little restaurant, feels like eating in a garden. Staff was friendly. Service was a little slow because it was so busy. Got 2 cocktails which were both excellent. Flavor combos were great, not too sweet, and drinks were boozy. There's complimentary bread that comes to the table which was focaccia with truffle butter and a sundried tomato spread. Very delicious I really enjoyed the subtle hint of truffle from the butter and the sundried tomato was so full of flavor. The bread was awesome. We shared the cheeseboard and it had a great assortment of cheese and jams. The bread was crispy exterior and soft interior. Olives had a nice pickled kick to it and the pears were delicious. For entrees I got the lamb. Cooked perfectly at medium rare with an amazing crust. I really enjoyed it with the potato and lamb side and the sauce just added more delicious flavor. For dessert we got the peach cobbler which came with cinnamon ice cream which was amazing. Definitely felt like it was more of an apple cobbler since it had more apples than peaches but either way it was delicious.

Last minute we decided to go on a Sunday evening & were lucky to grab a reservation..such a nice experience.it had been a while since we're had dinner here..the staff was lovely...food excellent & beautifully presented & looooooove the atmosphere so much! A little escape to Europe..

simply a stunning magical place. everything was perfection from the vibes to the service to the food. no complaints. our favorites were the beet salad, baked oysters, octopus and eggplant for starters and the lamb, tuna, and shortrib do entrees. perfection.

Came for a midweek dinner. It was nice because it was quiet and we were able to enjoy a nice meal out on the water with a pretty view. Food is reasonably priced and servings size are plenty. We ordered chicken and steak entree but the Mac and cheese app was probably our favorite.

A remarkable restaurant serving American cuisine with a side of friendly service. The picturesque views along the river are wonderful and there is both inside and outside dining. The deviled eggs and crab sandwich were amazing. Helpful Hint: Great place to have a meal before or after a performance at the Buck County Playhouse. We had a delightful lunch and then enjoyed a short walk to the theater.

Brussel sprouts and crab cakes for appetizers were phenomenal! Drinks that we got were a pear margarita and a jalapeno margarita. For dinner we both had a taco special with three tacos and rice and beans. Karen was a spectacular waitress and was very accommodating. The restaurant was super quiet tonight and we had the outdoor seating to ourselves.

March. Monday dinner reservation. Welcomed at the door and shown to a table with a river view. Great wait staff. Food was superb! Delicious and abundant. Great selection of wines by the glass. This restaurant was recommended by our B&B host. Would highly recommend to my friends and would go again whenever I am in town. Really enjoyed ourselves.

Great service. Awesome food. Great place to celebrate an occasion. Amazing river view and river side tables. Loved grilled octopus. Great and helping staff. Accommodate special requests. One of kind place to be in New Hope area. Must visit.

The wait was long, rude staff and food was ok. When I brought home my salad, I noticed that the tomato had black mold. We asked the waitress if she wouldn’t mind taking our picture because we had not seen each other in 18 years, her response “I can’t do this right now “ she was annoyed. When she handed me the check she was nicer . When people were trying to check in the hostess was not friendly, one group of people walked away and said “ what is wrong with her”? We got there just in time to reserve a table, We waited an hour for our food. Time: 12:30 Very disappointed.

Wow! Great menu and delicious food! Great view and staff was so polite and helpful! Drinks were unique and yummy!! Great place to eat, drink and be happy!!

This is the second time my wife and I have eaten at Italian Cucina. Both times we had an excellent dining experience. Colleen and her staff were friendly and attentive. Very cozy atmosphere. Not a huge menu but both times the food was delicious. This time we shared the artichokes. My wife then had the shrimp on fire and I had the rigatoni bolognese. Everything was delicious. Would definitely recommend to others.

Best pork chop I have ever had! Simply delicious. Enjoyed all the food. Crab cake app was also note worthy. Colleen and Sam are gracious hosts. Love the vibe. Will be back soon!

Came to Italian Cucina for my friends birthday and start to finish the entire experience was 10/10! The staff are amazing - professional but know how to have a good time; they gave excellent recommendations and made us feel like part of the family by the end of the meal. Can’t wait to come back again! The cacio e pepe ravioli, homemade meatballs, and italian long hot peppers were just some of our groups favorites

The restaurant was recommended by our B&B hosts when we asked about Italian restaurant, and they were right. The food was great and the server was attentive. Salads and appetizers are family style, meant to serve two people. There was a note saying they it would be $3 more for each additional person, but I'm not sure if that meant the size also increased. It's a smaller place, so I would recommend reservations to be safe.

Sam and Colleen were terrific hosts. We didn't have a reservation, but we were seated immediately at the bar (which had a great viee into all the action in the kitchen). Scratch cooking at it's finest with homemade pastas, desserts, great service. Limited menu due to pandemic supply didn't make for a bad experience. We'd be back again.

We loved every minute of being with Colleen and Sam. They allowed us to host a dinner the night before our wedding, and it was perfect. The food was beyond delish (those artichoke hearts! We are still talking about them), the atmosphere beyond lovely, and Colleen and Sam were great hosts. We felt like family even before the event. Several our our guests joined them also on subsequent nights and also raved about them. We will definitely be back. Thank you Colleen and Sam!

****UPDATE**** Amazing...as always We had the best weekend The food is incredible , such as creative dishes Food is fresh and authentic This place blows the rest of these local restaurants out of the water Go in and try some appetizers You will stay for dinner Sam, the chef along with Colleen and Joanna, which makes this place rock . The food is top-notch. This is the real deal . Make sure to make your reservations in advance. Everything is homemade and made to order. No detail is left unnoticed from the atmosphere to the serving ware. They will make you feel as if you were family! We were lucky to go back 2 nights in a row for the pork chops and bollinese and scallops..try the shrimp on fire ...OMG !! Good job guys you are now our favorite restaurant

we had an excellent lunch a couple weekends ago at The Dubliner. we were in the area for the first time and had to find a place for lunch with our dog. we walked in and the whole team was very accommodating and showed us to a table in the beautiful back patio area. our servers, Suzanne and Nicolette, got us situated quickly and were kind enough to bring over a water bowl for our pup as well. we ordered a round of half and half combos (Guinness and Harp, Harp and cider, etc.) and a few appetizers and sandwiches. the foodservice was fast, and the food was great. portion sizes were big, and we all were very content with our meals. most importantly, from beginning to end, Suzanne and Nicolette were excellent servers. they were friendly, patient, and extremely accommodating. travelling with our dog during the hot summer heat had been tough, and finding a restaurant and service team so hospitable was incredible. thank you again for your hospitality, and we will certainly be looking to return when we are next in New Hope.

One of the best Irish bars I've been to. Inside and outside, it is relaxing, fun, historical with so much Irish history. Service was excellent. Can't wait to go back!

September 2025 We ordered a cheeseburger with cheddar cheese, Irish bacon, and barbecue sauce and it was just an average burger. And the Irish Toasty with Irish bacon and cheese on sourdough was also a very typical sandwich. The Harp lager and whiskey sour were great, though, as was the service, but I think I’ll try another restaurant if I’m ever in New Hope again. The noise level was really bad at times, as well.

My family and I recently had a truly exceptional dining experience at The Dubliner. While the delicious Irish fare and cozy atmosphere were exactly what you'd expect, what truly set this place apart was their incredible attentiveness to my child's food allergies. Dining out with a child who has food allergies can be a source of constant anxiety, but from the moment we arrived, the staff and, most notably, the owner, put all our fears to rest. The owner was personally involved in making sure my child's meal was safe, overseeing the preparation to ensure there was no cross-contamination. This level of personal involvement speaks volumes about the commitment of the staff and ownership to their customers' safety and well-being. Beyond the peace of mind, the experience was a delight. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, a perfect blend of a traditional Irish pub and a comfortable family restaurant. The food itself was outstanding. The Dubliner on the Delaware is a gem. Their unwavering commitment to safety for all their patrons, especially those with food allergies, is truly commendable. We'll definitely be returning, and I highly recommend it to any family, especially those with dietary concerns.

Best Irish Food around! Had a delicious lunch: Corned Beef Poutine, Grass Fed Irish Burger, Fish and Chips (forgot to take pictures of food). Fish was fresh cod, perfectly cook and the best quality fish. Corned beef was lean and poutine was gluten free. All food had large portions and was served quickly and hot by Jess. She was very friendly and helpful. Bar is loaded with lots of whiskeys and beers. Andrew the manager showed us around. They have live music most Friday and Saturdays from 7-10pm and Sundays. You can make reservations but we were walk ins. Outside in back of restaurant they have a large comfortable patio with lots of seating, beautiful plants and lighting. Perfect for drinks with friends. All staff was happy, friendly and welcoming. We parked in a paid lot a short walk down the street. Highly recommend.

This was my first visit to The Dubliner, it will certainly not be my last. The staff were warm and welcoming. My short ribs were perfect, but that corn and coconut bread pudding was astounding. So delicious. I hope it recurs on the dessert menu.

A little bit of Ireland right in New Hope, PA!! My wife and I stumbled upon The Dubliner while looking for a good lunch spot while in New Hope for the weekend. We were so happy we found it. The staff was very inviting and our waitress was very attentive. Looks to have plenty of good indoor seating. We chose to sit outdoors since the weather was nice. The food was spot on!! Started with Pretzel Sticks as an appitizer; awesome! (Mustard was perfect), then Potatoe and leek soup; awesome again! Finished with the Shepherds Pie; perfect! Many good restaurant options in this area, but you have to try The Dubliner if you haven't.

Nice patio, rough execution. A friend and I stopped by Havana after he told me he’d had great meals there in the past. The patio was the draw—great spot for watching motorcycles and flashy cars crawl by on parade. He started with the chili (which he loved); I ordered edamame that oddly came with soy sauce for dipping—a first for me. Then I had to choose between the shrimp ceviche and a special watermelon, arugula, and feta salad. The waitress strongly recommended the salad, so I went with that. Mistake. My friend ordered a burger: no cheese, no pickles, just lettuce, tomato, onion—and subbed broccoli for fries. Naturally, I mocked him, which got a laugh from the waitress. Burger shows up plain, with a weird little pickle tower skewered on top. No broccoli, but fries—thankfully, the fries were actually great. The salad? Not so much. The watermelon-to-feta ratio was sad, the balsamic drizzle was practically imaginary, and when I asked for more, I got Italian dressing. Then ten minutes later, something else that resembled plum jam. So… not great. I sampled my friend’s Hamburger. It was cooked perfectly medium rare and juicy but the meat was under seasoned if seasoned at all. I ordered ann iced coffee that came quickly—with milk—but sugar took another 10 minutes. The waitress was very sweet and friendly, but service overall was super slow, especially for a half-full patio on a Sunday. My friend said he’d give it another shot. Me? I’ll stick to people-watching from somewhere else.

Even though it took a while for the food to come out, the food was great! Blackened shrimp tacos was 👌🏼 . Fiance had the habanero burger and said it was pretty good too. There was live music and the band playing was amazing! However this is why I gave 3 stars: Our server Matt was great, but apparently he was the only server! He did his best, taking orders, managing drinks and food and running from table to table. Why was no one else helping out? There was a girl who seated us and I noted another person outside standing (in charge of outside seating idk?) Someone else came out to give us our food. But that’s exactly my point, why was Matt the only server waiting on everyone for inside and outside seating? Help him out. Have more servers because you had multiple people waiting on food and orders, and he was doing the best he can. Never saw a restaurant with so many people not doing anything but standing there, is this a construction work site?

Stopped for lunch in New Hope and the Havana Restaurant and Bar looked like a good place to stop by and have lunch. A busy week end we were seating quickly and our server was excellent. It was a good lunch and we enjoyed the street view from our seats

Cool spot for a quick bite in the center of town. Food was alright, nothing to write home about, was a little expensive considering how bland it was. Huge wasp problem in their outdoor seating, constantly swatting away and going after our food and drinks. Wouldn’t recommend if you’re looking for good food, but cool spot to hangout otherwise if the wasps weren’t a glaring safety concern.

Good food and ambiance. We stopped there on Labor Day and we had the chicken panini and the penne vodka. Everything was really good. Service was excellent. We will be back

My husband and I went to Havanna's on Sunday, September 21 and I was really disappointed. We actually went on our first date there over 33 years ago and have been there since occasionally since as we live in the area. It was a nice night, so I thought it would be nice to sit outside. I ordered a martini from their cocktail list and it came out in a plastic cup used at picnics, less than half full and tasting like there was no alcohol in there. For $16?? The woman next to us lit a cigarette which I was surprised at but decided to pull up my big girl pants and deal with it. However, the other side of the bar opened up so I thought we could get away from the cigarette on the other side. Only to discover people were smoking there as well, as was the bartender. Oh well, I decided to order dumplings as the food has been good in the past. These tasted like they came out of a box purchased at a supermarket. They have lovely lit stars hanging over the bar, so a nice atmosphere, potentially, but the stars are dripping with cobwebs that were probably falling into my drink and food. Look, I'm guessing the management wouldn't even care enough to read reviews at this point in the game, but we won't be going back. New Hope is old and quirky and always a good place to be with a wide variety of people but Havanna's is a no go for me.

First time at Havana and I have to say I had a great experience. Our server Laura M was amazing. She was attentive and provided great customer service. Will definitely ask for her the next time rim here

Whats with the staff strobing their flashlights in the audience over, and over, and over during the show? Unbelievable behavior and volume of interruptions. I didn't take my phone out once but certainly was aware when anyone else did because of your STAFF. Extremely excessive with the interruptions and blinking flashlights in patrons’ faces. I have never seen such aggressive behavior at a theater. I will not return to this venue for this and other reasons, including the terrible view. Show and audience were fine.

Date of Visit: Sat Aug 19, 2023 We came to Buck’s county to see a show at the Buck’s County Playhouse – The Bridges of Madison County starring the great Broadway star, Kate Baldwin. The area around the theatre is absolutely beautiful. The theatre is situated right on the Delaware river overlooking New Jersey. The theatre is a renovated historic gristmill right on the water. The seating is nice and comfortable – with a little leg room – its not too tight. The stage is easily seen from most seats without issue – as the theatre is small-ish. The sound quality if fantastic - we heard every word and song as clear as can be. I am glad we came to see this show because otherwise I don’t think I would have known about the town of New Hope and what a charming and historic little town it is.

Nice theater with friendly staff. The well directed show featured talented actors. Drinks were fairly priced, not the cheapest but not as expensive as NYC shows. **The one thing you must know, GET THERE EARLY, PARKING IS AN ISSUE. Fortunately New Hope is a cute little town, so you can always stroll through some shops to kill time or get lunch or dinner before the show.

Saw Rocky Horror show. It was wonderful. The experience stayed with me making me want to go again. The small theater with great views from every seat added to the atmosphere. Loved it!

Had the best time at the Bucks County Playhouse where I took my family for my husband’s 62nd Birthday yesterday to awe the last showing of the “Rocky Horror Picture Show”! Amazing! Can’t wait to see ELF there as well.🥰

Absolutely fantastic place to both perform at and see a show. Not a bad seat in the house and the staff is great. I have been coming here for years and have seen many incredible shows here. I’m also a professional musician and perform my acoustic duo at both the playhouse deck restaurant and out in the court yard. It’s always a lovely experience and an absolute staple when in New Hope.

went for the seasonal Rocky Horror Picture Show and had a BLAST! they give you a prop bag to “participate” and feel like you’re part of the show. super intimate theater with a good view even pretty far back. will go back!

Nestled in a pocket of eastern Pennsylvania’s Bucks County, the riverside town of New Hope is as quaint as they come. With just 1.27 square miles of land area, New Hope’s primary industry is tourism. Year-round and especially on weekends, visitors clog the narrow sidewalks on Main Street, window-shopping or enjoying one of its numerous eateries. This was my first time back from an 11-year hiatus. My partner and I decided on a quick bite for lunch yesterday and chose Fran’s Pub, known as Biker Central in the spring/summer on South Main Street. It offered multiple distinct dining areas to match one’s mood, whether enjoying a family dinner on their semi-enclosed patio, playing pool in the pub bar, or people watching from the impressive large outdoor seating area with umbrellas or heaters. Greeted by the staff upon entering as first-timers, we sat in their semi-enclosed patio, whose doors that opened to the street had the nice warmth of the sun. With a five-page menu consisting of house-made or house-prepared dishes that cater to all appetites, we decided on a small Beef Vegetable soup (soup of the day), Hot Pastrami Pub sandwich, and Aioli Pesto Chicken sandwich. The sandwiches accompanied house-made Fried Potato Chips. Food was tasty and satisfied our stomachs. Service was fast, friendly, and our server was Melissa. Price was reasonable. We could recommend this place.

A nice place to grab lunch and enjoy a seat and table outside. They have double wide umbrellas to provide plenty of shade. I ordered the turkey & cheese club sandwich on rye toast. Definitely worth it.

Same as any other pubs or bars. Looked clean. Bartender was attentive. I got sizzling sampler and it was ok. Sauces that came with it were meh. Marinara and honey mustard was good. But ranch and buffalo sauce tasted cheap. The food tasted fresh for the pub/bar.

Steak Quesadillas were close to the best I’ve ever had. Food was fresh and delicious. Will absolutely be back to try other things.

Newer review from rolling thunder 2025 Trenton… again love this place. Owner was having some connectivity issues with her Square mobile payment system. I was happy to help her get connected through her iPhone. Don’t have any pic of the pie we ate it too quick.. If I see you guys anywhere I’ll be have a pie…. Love the char on the pie.. Quick service on a hot day was appreciated.. food was exceptional as were the drinks. Outstanding place to people watch in New Hope.

If your in New Hope look no further! Tremendous bar with a home feel. From the plenty seating both indoor and outdoor. Indoor you can find a great pool table. Dan, a great bartender that made me and my girlfriend feel welcomed! Certainly will be back again! And really an awesome to watch an Eagles game !

Pleasantly surprised. All the food we had was good and so was the service. Was a little weary trying a pasta dish as a pub, but it came highly recommended for a good reason. The soup of the day was also really good. The only thing I suggest is they get a filter so their water doesn’t taste like pool water.

I visited last week with my husband for the first time. We were celebrating his birthday and were so pleased! We stumbled upon this place and were excited to try it, just based off of how unique it looked. I ordered the crab cakes, which were amazing! The service was great, everyone was super friendly and it was an all around great experience. We would absolutely love to come back again! So unique. Nothing like it!

We went here on a date night and were super impressed. Very cool building from the outside, but the upstairs main dining room was stunning. We had a medium rare filet which was beautifully seared in the outside and cooked perfectly inside. My salmon was cooked house temperature, which was a little more done than I'd prefer, but shame on me for forgetting to specify my temp. Cocktails were great. It was a the perfect beginning to our night French onion soup was bomb, as was the spinach dip .

We visited for dinner and started with an excellently prepared and served cocktail at the beautiful bar on the first level. We then were escorted upstairs to dine. The dining room was wide open but we had a cozy seat for two facing the very large and unusual mural. You could envision the space having been a church at one time. We had a wedge salad and shrimp mornay for a first course and the shrimp was so incredibly delicious and hot! The second course was the NY strip steak, perfectly prepared and served with three sauce choice because we wanted to try all three. Also enjoyed the shrimp garlic dish- beautifully done with broccolini. Mashed potatoes and creamed spinach - a must, greatly enjoyed. Our server was excellent! We were waited on beautifully and not intrusively, and as it was an anniversary we were offered a complimentary glass of champagne! We had a great experience all around. Only reason for one less star is that the meat cut in our case didn’t seem like the top cut, and also the meal came out too fast while we were still enjoying the first course (timing is everything for the kitchen!!). We would most definitely go back and encourage people to go and spoil yourselves!

The mahi mahi with the ratatouli was absolutely awful. It smelled like the fish was spoiled but, after I had the waiter smell it, he said its fine and thats how the dish smells....it was like smelly feet and I couldn't eat it because it was gag-worthy. I should have asked them to take it back and remove it from my bill, but I convinced myself thats how its supposed to taste. A quick Google search says thats not the case with Mahi. So, I spent $40 on a plate of potentially spoiled fish. Im offended and I won't be coming back. Steak was good, though. They cooked it perfectly. But not worth $80. I ate at the bar a while ago and that was a great experience. Im shocked at my experience at the dining room with a menu that has food priced double and triple the price.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary and their staff made the experience special. It started with rose petals around the lighting element on the table and ended with a delicious Crème brûlée. Our server Rebecca was engaging and very hospitable. She ensured my group was comfortable and enjoyed the evening. The food and wine was amazing. From the beet salad, the filet mignon, the NY strip steak, the meat sauces and a series of sides, the meal was prepared to perfection. The high ceilings, stained glass windows and large mural at the end of the main dining room created a unique ambience. We are looking forward to our return. Thank you for the special experience.

My wife and i celebrated our 26 wedding anniversary there and i was completely smitten by the overall experience. My crabcakes were AWESOME and with the creamed spinach on the side made this meal complete. My wife had a garlic butter and red wine sauce over shrimp. The flavor was impecible and don't call them shrimp to their face. So big these crusteans would guard your property. The cost was even better. I had enough money at the end of the night to pay for the parking ticket i got for parking at the front door. BRAVO OLDSTONE!!!

Tonight was my husband’s and my first night out since having our second son, and it couldn’t have been better! We sat at the bar to enjoy being kid-free and were lucky enough to be taken care of by Brayden and Heath, who made the experience incredible. The drinks were spot on, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect. We’ll definitely be coming back for more date nights!

Greenhouse was a delightful experience! Delicious appetizers, delicious entrees. The atmosphere was friendly and cozy and incredibly inclusive. The deviled eggs were absolutely delicious with a rich and creamy filling topped with chorizo for a wonderful touch! The Penne Pasta was cooked perfectly with a very rich vodka sauce and the shrimp was delicious and cooked to perfection. They have plenty of options for alcoholic beverages, mocktails, vegetarian, etc. definitely recommend you visit this establishment!

Chris, Jonah, Kai, and the whole gang are what you kids call, "the bees knees." Highly recommend art night on Mondays. The youngsters call it, "Sketchy Mondays." Everyone is welcome. It is free. Color. Sketch. Draw. Or just hang out. Art supples provided for no cost. People bring their own sometimes, and everyone shares. Sometimes there is dancing. Often there is singing.

My husband and I stopped in for lunch. We had the shroomin toast, deviled eggs, build your own fries (we chose gorgonzola and chorizo), and steak bites. Everything was fresh and delicious! Good portion sizes and service was fast and friendly. We will definitely be back!

What started as a great night quickly turned into an unacceptable and disturbing experience. The bar itself was enjoyable at first — good drinks, solid service, and a comfortable atmosphere. However, everything changed when a man named Casey, who claimed to work at or be connected to the bar, crossed a serious line. He inappropriately touched my sister-in-law. When I stepped in to stop him, he became aggressive, called me a “weirdo,” and acted like he had the right to do whatever he wanted because of his position. Casey was clearly intoxicated, confrontational, and completely out of control. My wife and I were forced to physically intervene just to stop this man from escalating further. It was a deeply uncomfortable and threatening situation — and it should never happen in any bar, especially not one that allows their staff or affiliates to behave this way. This was not just a bad customer experience — it was a serious safety issue. If Casey is truly associated with this bar, I strongly urge management to take immediate action before someone gets seriously hurt. No customer should ever feel unsafe or disrespected like this.

A friend and I visited this spot during our day trip to new Hope, and wow! It was an amazing experience. Everything on the menu sounded delicious and it was! Cocktails were awesome, our bartender was by himself and was doing an awesome job balancing the bar and tables and had a great attitude! Will definitely be coming back!

Tuna and pork belly noodle bowls are delicious. Everything served to top notch. Great place to eat!

Great food and service. Lots of veggie options and plenty for carnivores. The music sucks though.

We love this place! Brought our out of town friend from CA for a late lunch. The flowers in the front of the restaurant were so pretty. The hostess Paulette was very friendly. It was a 40-minute wait due to being understaffed, but we all had tasty drinks at the bar. The sangria was delicious! We were seated at a table close to the water and enjoyed the view. The turkey bacon sandwich was so good. Our friend and her daughter LOVED the fish and chips and the chicken parm was good too! They were happy I suggested The Landing as they really enjoyed eating here. Of course, we'll be back.

It was too cold to sit outside, but we can’t wait to come back when the weather is nice. We were immediately greeted and seated. The waitress was super kind and attentive. We ordered the nachos and the turkey BLT. The nachos were bean focused (don’t let that fool you, they were amazing) which were perfectly layered so all chips had cheese/toppings. The turkey BLT - GET THIS the sourdough, the spicy mayo, the amount of turkey, the bacon. It was amazing. And so were the steak fries, you’ll want to finish them all. Great spot on the river, we will definitely be back soon.

Came here for lunch on 06/24/2021 after a hike in Washington Crossing State Park, NJ. After about 40-minute waiting at the seats in tree shades, we finally got our table right by the river! With the background of the blue sky and the bridge, and breeze caressing gently, it can’t a be better place at at better day for a perfect lunchtime! Service was very good. And the food was very good, only that the taco shells were too flaky to hold in shapes. Otherwise everything would be perfect.

The atmosphere is amazing. It’s a cute place by the water. The view sets a perfect mood for a great dinner. Visited with my girlfriends recently and had an amazing time. The fires were good and the crab burger was delicious. It was meaty and moist. Hummus was average. The drinks were good. Service could have been better. Would visit again for sure.

First of all beautiful place to eat. I can't speak for the inside seating but the outside seating is very nice with a nice view and umbrellas at each table. The food was really quite expensive but very delicious. The selection is small but has something for everyone. Plenty of beers and a nice bar to sit at right on the water. There was a dog near us and it was quite hot and the hostess brought over some water which was super nice and made me quite happy. It was a bit understaffed which I can understand but the staff that was there did an amazing job and were constantly moving.

Great location to start with. Wonderful landscaping. Beautiful views of river and bridge. Great food. Burger was thick and juicy. It even was cooked medium like we like it! We would certainly recommend it to others coming to visit New Hope. Great little town!

I’m knocking this review down because we came back, Sat at bar for happy hour. Only ordered one drink and without asking she gave us the bill We were gonna order more but that just made us wanna leave. So now we’re gonna go walk to another place. She lost out on a good tip and a bigger bill. She was nice but strange to give someone a bill before them asking for it Our servers name was jade! She was super nice. Didn’t take too long to check on us. The order came out quick. It was a very nice experience and the food was fantastic.

Went to look for an outdoor bar in Doylestown to watch the eagles game today and decided to checkout the garden bar at Puck. I am a local but haven’t had a chance to visit this spot. What I experienced was very disappointing. Half of the beer on tap was not available due to a “Friday night party” the night before. This was a beautiful Sunday fall afternoon and what we witnessed was an empty outdoor space with terrible food and one bartender who was absolutely miserable to be there. It’s a shame because the outdoor space is great, but the atmosphere, food, and customer service was so disappointing.

Great location and this place have so much potential to do way better but for some reason they decided not to. Food presentation is not very good and they don’t offer a lot of variety but it tasted fine even tho you may not want to try after looking at it. Good little selection of beer. Hope they can improve it and take better advantage of their location

This is a cute new place in New Hope, nice concept farm to glass. Its a great location in warmer months if you can find seating, right across from the playhouse. We tried 2 flights (4 beers each) but I wasn't in love with any of the beers they offered. The barstools aren't that comfortable, and the only food option is a tiny bag of mini pretzels. I did see a table of people who brought their own snacks, I guess they've been here before to know they can bring outside food. The place has a tv and the gentleman working there was informative and friendly. Not sure I'll be back though.

Nice spot to stop and grab a beer. My IPA was ok but we really liked the Buckthorn Pale Ale. Nice to relax outside and have a drink by the creek behind the tap room.

Had the Massive deception Baltic Porter, which was very tasty. My wife had the Cherry Pie Cider that was a guest cider, which she said tasted great as well. $7.00 a Glass is not a bad price as well. They also have a lot of different beers on the menu. Would recommend, especially when you can sit outside.

Sat outside on back patio with a water and Main St view. Enjoyed a flight and pint. Cherry pie cidar , Novo Espero and Hazy Acres IPA we're favorites. Will be back!

The service was great; the bartender helped us choose unique brews and the prices were very affordable. The peanut butter chocolate beer was particularly tasty and it was the first time I have ever tried a juniper beer! The outdoor seating had beautiful views and it was a nice pit stop for me on my bike journey through New Hope!

Really enjoyed my visit here for lunch! I had wanted to go for a while because of the good reviews and mostly all vegan menu and I’m so glad I went! The atmosphere was really cool, with the pub vibe inside and the beautiful outside area too. The staff were all wonderful too! We tried the Thai street fries and two different tacos. The fries were some of the best I’ve ever had and it was a great amount. The tacos were also delicious with fresh and unique ingredients. I appreciated how much detail went into the presentation and the choice of ingredients. Definitely will be returning to try more of the vegan menu items!

Take the time to drive to this wonderful place, it will be well worth it!! It's an Eclectic feeling when you enter the door, the food is very very good especially the wild mushroom dish and the vegetable rolls. They have a very large drink menu and beer menu, the people are super friendly and service is excellent. Make sure to go upstairs and check out their music venue which is awesome. Outside they have a very large seating area with a ping pong table and bocce ball area and they have a fireplace out there. It's just a great feeling to be there, don't miss it. We went at 2:00 and there wasn't many people there so felt very comfortable. There Are No Reservations so plan that if you're going at a busy time like lunch or dinner. Save room for a great dessert!!!

⸻ All I can say is… I’m addicted!! What a hidden veggie gem (at least for me 😅) in my area!! Are you ready? Drum roll please… You are seriously not ready for the food at this place! The food is fooding here!! I honestly couldn’t choose what to order — I was overwhelmed (in the best possible way!), and that almost never happens to me. Normally, 99% of the time, there’s only one thing on a menu that catches my eye. Here? I was wishing I had seven stomachs so I could try everything 😭😅 Almost every dish can be made vegan and gluten-free, which is amazing. We had the salad and the falafel naan — and that dish was singing! The freshness, the flavors, the colors on the plate — a solid 100/10. Truly, we had nothing to complain about. The portions are huge (we were kindly warned about this by the super sweet waitress when ordering). It was hands down the best vegan meal we’ve had in a long time — 100% worth it. The only downside for us was the outdoor seating. The benches and tables outside didn’t quite match the top-tier food experience. That part could definitely use an upgrade. The garden itself is very pretty though, and the interior is nice — maybe a bit too ambient for our taste, and the AC was blasting a little too strong. Still, if you care about PLANT BASED, excellent, fresh, high-quality food with unique twists, you have to come here. You will not be disappointed. See you soon, guys!!

Absolutely amazing restaurant with the most delicious and most creative vegan food we’ve had in the last decade. We drove in from central NJ and I can’t wait to go back. The Chef is SO talented, the staff is super friendly, the menu selection is perfect from the apps to the salads to the main dishes to the deserts. The environment is so warm and welcoming, and again, the food was so so so good. Highly recommended!

I found Dharma Bums through their amazing Summer Sundays craft events for kids and loved it SO MUCH that we had our daughter's 6th birthday party there. It was beyond fantastic and exceeded all of my expectations. Fiona is amazing with children and truly creative - the crafts and decor that she put together for us was so beautiful. The kids AND adults had a great time! Service was exceptional, the food was delicious, and the vibe/energy that they have created in this iconic old building is just so great. I can't recommend Dharma Bums enough. Go now!

One of our new favorite places. Many gluten free options and clearly marked. Fantastic presentation and very delicious eats. Highly recommend.

This place is simply incredible and an absolute hidden gem. If you asked me to pick a spot that feels like summer along the Delaware River this is where I’d suggest. The atmosphere, vibe, and staff are all amazing. I’m not a vegetarian but I will gladly admit this was one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. The grilled cheese is unreal. 10/10. 🤙🏼
