PJ Whelihan's Pub & Restaurant

PJ Whelihan's Pub & Restaurant

A pub & restaurant location in Lehighton. PJ Whelihan's Pub & Restaurant sits in the mid-range, $$ bracket, which makes it an easy default for the kind of meal you don't want to plan around — a late lunch after a morning on the trails, dinner with a group that can't agree on anything fancier, or a drink and a bite at the bar while you figure out the rest of the day. The atmosphere is casual through and through, and the pub-and-bar format means you're ordering in a room built for conversation rather than occasion.

Come for the relaxed, unfussy version of a Poconos-area night out, and it delivers on that. Lehighton puts it within reach if you're staying in the southern end of the region, and the casual setup is forgiving of families, mixed groups, and anyone still in hiking clothes.

Hours, menus and prices change. Call ahead or check the venue's own site before you go.
