Come here for crafted libations, a squint-and-it's-the-1930s vibe, fun bartenders and a great night out. With cocktails such as 'Death in a Bookstore' or 'Forbidden Fruit #2' it's hard to go wrong, and the Bookstore Speakeasy doesn't disappoint. There's live jazz at night Thursday through Saturday, and given Bethlehem's proximity to NYC and Philadelphia, it's often of surprisingly high quality.
