Restaurants in Pocono Mountains Region
1. The Stabin Museum
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 15 reviews
Red brick and stone facades, an underground aqueduct, original maple hardwood floors, and an exposed rock wall at the base of the mountain all lend a distinct architectural ambiance to the complex, which throughout its history has been a place for innovation and fabrication using the most innovative technology of the day. Often compared to Dr. Suess, Salvador Dali, and M.C. Escher, Stabin's work is a world unto its own that defies description. His work is an homage to the arc of art history from the influences of centuries-old Japanese watercolor print artists to contemporary graphic arts. His work is inspired by many facets of his own life including his family, an interest in the connection between man and nature, water and the water’s edge. Don't miss the Children's Gallery, Projection Room, Victor's Turtle Series and Cafe Arielle. a restaurant/bar with an underground stream visible from the dining room as well as a stunning outdoor patio - The Avant Garden. True fun for all ages!

Amazing bar!! The food is AMAZING, seriously you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu and the bar is great too!! The service is nothing short of amazing either! The bartenders are attentive and kind and the manager is a great guy with wonderful customer service skills as well! We came here as an after party for our wedding, they stayed open for us and our guests, and they were sure to keep the party going! The end to our night was as perfect as the rest thanks to The Lounge Bar!! We will definitely be back for drinks and food in the future and we live about 40 minutes away but cannot pass up coming back after our amazing night. The rest of our guests have been bragging about the service food and drinks too!

10. The Renegade Winery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 40 reviews
The Renegade Winery is no conventional winery, crafting our premium wines right in the heart of historic downtown Stroudsburg. The name Renegade was inspired by our unconventional way of thinking about wine and winemaking. We strive to combine both the quality of tradition with the freedom of innovation. Tour the winery to learn about how our wines are produced, then settle into the wine bar and sip on our artisanal wines while indulging in a seasonal cheese plate. For those looking to celebrate a special occasion, we also function as a private event venue, featuring the beautiful winery as a backdrop.

Renegade Winery's selection of wines is very good. You can sample up to five kinds and take home an etched glass as a souvenir. There is a long bar where the bartenders are very attentive and glad to answer any quieries you may have. Seating options include tables for larger groups and a cozy corner with comfortable couches. Food for snacking is available. The decor is very hip and attractive. On display, you'll notice unique artwork and sculptures by local artists that add to Renegade's cool vibe.
