Bethlehem
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
Bethlehem has been brewing beer since the Moravians built a brewery behind the Single Brethren's House in 1781, and that history still shapes the city's bar scene today - BarFinder lists 76 venues, led by sports bars and pubs with a strong wave of breweries and gastropubs close behind. Modern spots like Fegley's Brew Works (opened 1998) and smaller newcomers like Wishful Thinking Brewing Company and Lost Tavern Brewing carry that brewing lineage forward, alongside quirkier additions like The Bookstore Speakeasy. Known nationally as "Christmas City USA" since 1937, Bethlehem pairs its holiday-town reputation with one of the Lehigh Valley's deeper beer scenes.
