Union Publick hose bills itself as “The only dive bar in Jim Thorpe.”
They say: “Play pool, rock out to the jukebox, get some grub, or just hang out with your buddies. Open 7 days a week!”
We say: Union Publick House may appear, with its admittedly dive-ish exterior and furnishings, to be just what they call it – “a dive bar,” but cross the threshold, grab a stool, and find yourself in a joint that takes its juke, food, and beverages rather seriously. Daily specials of both craft beers and farm-to-table dishes fill every inch of their mirror-behind-the-bar menu. You can view the regular menu on their website.
Cash only, ATM on premises
A Sunday Brunch menu one day consisted of savory crepes with crab, broccoli creamed leeks, and avocado coúlis. Sweet crepes with raspberry, ricotta, and Mexican chocolate, mushroom & kale migas with potatoes and beans, and steak & egg with filet, fingerlings, broccoli & cheese.

With daily specials and live music, Union Publick House is the stuff dive bar dreams are made of.
