This small brewery and restaurant celebrates Honesdale’s rich history in the brewing trade by producing high-quality, award-winning beers and providing an eclectic, welcoming space to drink them.

After opening their doors in 2015, Irving Cliff Brewery managed to both reanimate one of the town’s most famous businesses and to enliven the proud tradition of independent brewing in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Brewery visitors can pull up a stool at the wood-topped bar and enjoy a cold, fresh beer from one of the 12 taps. The otherwise industrial feel of the brewery pairs nicely with the cozy mix of wood-plank walls, a stone fireplace and authentic beer and brewery memorabilia.

And there’s more to just the beer here at Irving Cliff. They also feature an in-brewery dining space, where guests can pair their beers with delicious burgers and platters. They also offer nightly specials like wing night and clam night. And stay alert for live music and fundraising events throughout the year.

Of the many reasons to visit historic Honesdale, Irving Cliff Brewery should reside somewhere near the top.
