The 1760 Pub is
located in Trexlertown at the intersection of Routes 100 and 222. The building
that houses the restaurant was built in the mid-1700s, as its name suggests. The
current owners purchased the property in 2012. Prior to that time, in the late ‘80s
and early ‘90s, it was called the 1760 House, and it was the site of fine
dining, with Revolutionary War-era decor and waitstaff wearing Colonial garb. The
restaurant was closed for a bit in the late ‘80s due to a fire, before being
reopened as a restaurant called Maxx Regal, and finally now it is called the
1760 Pub.
The 1760 Pub has been nicely renovated to include wood and
stone accents. You enter the restaurant in the expansive bar area (built in the
1700s as a log cabin), which features an array of flat-screen TVs, high
ceilings, and high-top tables. Adjacent to the bar is the main dining area,
which features a real fireplace surrounded by a faux stone wall. Towards the
rear of the building is a game room and a private event space (which even
contains a tiny raised platform area where you can speak or perform karaoke).
In addition, you can dine outdoors seasonally on a deck that overlooks
Trexlertown Road (Route 100). More than thirty TVs are arranged throughout the
building, so you can always catch your favorite sporting event.
The 1760 Pub offers generous portions of American pub food
at reasonable prices .The appetizer menu features the usual items: chicken
fingers, chips and salsa, nachos, mozzarella sticks, pierogis, potato skins,
and quesadillas. Burgers, wraps, and sandwiches (including many kinds of steak
sandwiches made with beef or chicken) dominate the menu, along with a few more
elaborate entrees (fish and chips, steak). You won’t “break the bank” by eating
here, even if you order one of the more expensive entrees.
