Mother's

Virginia Place is a narrow, one-way side street off Allen where some of Allentown's best off-the-beaten-path restaurants and bars can be found, and Mother's is number one with a bullet on that list. Mother's boasts a menu that makes up for in quality and creativity what it lacks in length (it is one page long), featuring exciting takes on chicken and steak, as well as a host of seafood options. Look for the image of the classic "Mother" tattoo that serves as the restaurant's sign.

Mother's
Equally popular with downtown businesspeople as with Allentown hipsters, Mother's bar is a perfect setting to imbibe your choice of wine from a list that's high-quality and reasonably priced, nosh on a selection of upscale bar snacks, or order off the dinner menu that's available in its entirety until 3AM. Dark lighting and wood-panelled walls bring a relaxed, genteel vibe to the interior, or enjoy gentle summer breezes on the patio.

Fat Bob's Smokehouse
Generous helpings of slow-cooked Southern comfort food. A carnivore's paradise of St. Louis pork ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket, barbecued chicken, catfish & more. Sinful sides include collard greens, cornbread, creamy mashed potatoes, baked beans, sausage gravy, and mac & cheese. Come hungry. Decent selection of domestic and imported beers.

The Quarter
Downstairs at The Quarter is a lively bar and restaurant serving a yummy food menu of Creole specialties and an ample slate of well-prepared craft cocktails (not surprisingly, New Orleans' signature cocktail, the sazerac — cognac, absinthe, peychaud bitters, and a sugar cube — is the specialty of the house). Upstairs you've got the far more chilled-out "Llama Lounge", with darts, pool, foosball, a slew of vintage arcade and pinball games, comfy couches to relax on, and the only bathrooms in the building. And everywhere you go, the vibe is convivial and classics from the '70s and '80s bump on the jukebox (that is, when the place isn't hosting a live jazz concert).
