What we’re about
Welcome to the Bucks County and Lehigh Valley Historic Tavern Trail! Bucks and Lehigh (and neighboring) Counties in Pennsylvania are rich in history, dating back to colonial times. This group will explore that history through the bars, pubs, taverns and restaurants that have served these communities for hundreds of years and played a part in the history of our nation. Think McCoole's Red Lion Inn, Brick Tavern Inn, Spinnerstown Inn, Jamison Publick House, Bethlehem Hotel and many more.
So if you're interested in meeting new people, socializing, soaking in the historic atmosphere and learning something about the history of these establishments, this group is for you.
Meetups will be monthly to semi-monthly at a rotating location, and most events will feature a historic presentation of some kind. Just casual get-togethers where we have a chance to mix-and-mingle, enjoy some food and drink, make intelligent conversation and learn something about the history of the venue where we're meeting. No dues, fees or cover charges, this is a fun thing for me, not a side hustle.
See you on the trail!

See all- Friday Lunch at the Riegelsville InnRiegelsville Inn, Riegelsville, PA
Yes, we're meeting on a Friday because TGIF. And it's Friday the 13th too. So if you're retired, unemployed or just need a Friday off and an early start to your weekend, join us for Friday lunch at the Riegelsville Inn, along the Delaware River in Riegelsville, Upper Bucks.
Built in 1838 by the town's founder Benjamin Riegel, the Riegelsville Inn retains its 19th-century charm, sitting just across the iconic Roebling Bridge from Pohatcong, NJ. We'll learn more about the history of the tavern and the town. Perhaps we can venture across the bridge and check out Hootz in Pohatcong, which dates to 1837.
They're not big on separate checks for large parties, so plan to bring cash and settle a group tab. But still a great spot to check out. See you there!
