1 of 2 breweries in town that offer a Gastropub experience. Great selection of tasty beers. The space is quite unique because it's a converted brewery | restaurant | gastropub inside of an car dealership. You will have to drive down the street past Kutztown University about a few miles.. you will see it on the left side. Opposite side is a farm and cornfields. Good for a family dinner, a couple, or just a solo evening at the bar. Closes at 10pm and 11pm on the weekends.

Farm to table. Very cool new place in town and literally right next door to the house. They are the pink warehouse building next door. The entrance is in the alley. They have their own farm and make almost everything on premise or from a local farmer. This place has it all, if you prefer a small snack or drink on the run, or if you want to snack and sit inside. Unique sandwiches, homemade donuts, veggies, beer, whatever you want. They even sell organic creamer if you're low. They also have a farm stand in NYC, which is probably why they are closed on Monday and Tuesday.

If you're looking for a big breakfast than go here. I have never seen pancakes and omelettes so large. The place is a little cramped, but the food offers unique combinations and is worth the money for what you get. I think the big farm boys fill up their tank here before the day's work; definitely a local's favorite spot. Only one block from the house on Main Street.

Little pizza shop that sells by the slice, BIG slices. Odd combinations of toppings if you're feeling experimental. Around 10-12 the place loads up with hungry students during the school year, so I recommend a lunch or an evening snack.
