Wallenpaupack Brewing Company - Hawley, Pennsylvania

This is a frequent stop for us as we live pretty close by. Whenever we are hiking or just in the mood for a solid place to eat and we don't feel like making a decision, this is usually or our go to. We love their beers and their food never disappoints! We always head for the bar seats (there aren't many, although they did just add a few more recently) because it is the only way you will be waited on completely. They do not have table service so if you're seated at a table, you have to get up to place your food order near the kitchen and then go stand in line to get each beer. Their beer is probably my favorite as far as local breweries go and their food is always soooooo good! They have a regular menu with tons of options and then they have a "pilot menu" that changes weekly and usually has some fun and different choices on it. They also do brunch on Sundays, they have a kids menu, and they also do a soup and salad or soup/salad and half a sandwich options also. They do brewery tours, have a ton of cool merch and sell to go beeer. They do have gluten free rolls and usually some sort of cider and wine if you have a gluten allergy. They do live music often and it's usually an acoustic musician so it's the perfect volume to enjoy your meal and cocktails and still hear yourself think! There is an outdoor patio area for when the weather is nice with tables and some games. The staff are all super friendly and helpful with menu or beer selections ... just a great stop every time!

Really big place. Clean and open seating. Lots of room which would be good for larger groups going out. Food was really really good. We got the smash burgers, bao buns, poutine, wings, the pretzel and a bunch of beer. Service was good and food came out fast.

I’ve been in and out of the area since 2020 and kept saying I’m going to stop here when I get a chance. Finally did, and by far Wallenpaupack Brewing has become one of my favorite local breweries. The beer is so fresh, crisp, aromatic, they really make the magic happen. Best pub style food I’ve had, that was a hit. No wait and the place is pretty cool. Will be back… Chris was pretty awesome. Great tour and the care and craftsmanship in the beer making process was astounding

Without a doubt one of the best options in the area. Sunday evening in the summer and the outdoor area was closed and the service was all over the place (we had 5 different waitresses). The grilled marinated chicken on the pilot special was 5 stars with the grilled bacon chicken ranch sandwich at 3 stars lacking depth and ranch. I asked to taste the Mexican lime beer and they brought a 16oz and it was lime overpowering. Go here knowing that it’s the best in the area but 3 stars if comparing to NYC or any other foodie hub.

One of the best breweries in the area. Full disclosure, I drink liquor, not beer. But there’s something to be said that even a non-beer drinker would come here.

The food was great. They had these fantastic seasoned soft pretzels with some awesome dippers, the pretzels were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. My wife loved her burger and I really enjoyed my brisket. The beer? I don’t know, it tasted like beer but i’m not here to talk beer, if you like uniquely crafted beer this is your spot, it’s a brewery, it’s right on the tin. You like beer? Yeah? Go here.

But I enjoyed the industrial decor and the food. Plus they made me some vodka Arnold Palmer drink so it exceeded my expectations of thinking I would have to be just focusing on the food. They do carry a selection of local wines also if that’s your thing. Staff was great helping us out for our first time visit and just an overall good experience to be repeated. I was also surprised at the amount of children running around and they do have a kids menu so don’t let your little ones deter you from making this a stop.

All the things you expect in a local brewpub. Multiple sandwich options from burger, pulled pork, chicken, veg, and brats. Each comes with homemade chips. Many of the sauces (gravy, cheese) are made with their beers. Wings are large and a must get. As for the beer, for the casual beer drinker, options are good. But don't come expecting an Otherhalf, HopButcher, Tired hands, etc. like beer. That being said, beer is fresh and many seasonal options. Service and wait times (no reservations) can be annoying but for size of the place, you got to be understanding

I recently had my first experience at a brew pub in Hawley for a casual Sunday lunch, and I have to say, it didn't leave a great impression. There were four adults and two children in our group. While the food was generally decent, I found it a bit overpriced. For instance, I ordered a hamburger that was $17, and it came with only about twelve French fries.

The atmosphere had that typical industrial vibe of many brew pubs, which was fine, but my main issue was with the noise level. There was a gentleman performing with a keyboard—he was a good singer, but the volume was outrageously loud. I couldn’t hear a thing my companions were saying, and it was tough to communicate with the servers as well.

To make matters worse, there was a family who entered with a child carrying a bottle of water, and the staff made it very clear that outside beverages were not allowed. This caused quite the debate, and ultimately, the family left in frustration.

Honestly, I don't think I'll be returning the next time I'm in the area; I didn't even get a chance to try their beer. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

The bartenders honestly made this experience at this brewery great! Everyone was so friendly and helpful and you can tell they really know their stuff. The food was also great! The crimson velvet beer was one of the best beers I’ve ever tried. We will definitely be back when we visit the Poconos again.
