Stroudsburg's Main Street is the Poconos' liveliest small-town evening: a restored 1929 theater with concerts and comedy, a brewery, a craft beer bar open late on weekends, a meadery and plenty of places to eat within a few blocks.
Hours below are as each place posted them in November 2026 and change with the seasons, so check before you go. You must be 21 with a valid photo ID to drink in Pennsylvania, and plan a ride home if you're drinking.
