A glass enclosed keg room with 16 different draft beers, a three-story glowing tequila tower surrounded by 80 varieties of tequila, and a wall of hand painted sugar skulls from Mexico are just the beginning of your experience at Torre! The margaritas are the freshest you will find – made with fresh squeezed lime juice – and the five different types of guacamole come made-to-order for your whole table to enjoy.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance and quality of Sports and Social in Allentown across from the PPL Center. Sports an Social is a sports themed restaurant with two bars and plenty of seating both in tables and booths. The food is a notch or two above the standard fare as the menu selections are more varied and some are unique for a sports bar. Check their online. I had a buttermilk chicken sandwich and opted for a sweet Thai chili sauce rather than the Nashville hot. The sandwich was tasty and moist and the fries were good, not dry nor overly salted. We ordered coffee which was fresh and brought to our table is a carafe. Our server was attentive and friendly. The restaurant was two-thirds full but yet the noise level not overly loud. You could talk without shouting and hear without lip-reading. Of course, televisions are large and plentiful. We will return.

    Our server was excellent. Items on the menu not available. Candles not lit on the tables. Just feels worn and not maintained well.
