Little Ireland Brewing Co — Local services in Susquehanna Depot

I have not been in the town of Susquehanna in over 50 years. I made friends with an individual that resided there. Who has since pasted on, we met while both attending a trade school during the early 1970's. I had a few fun weekends with his friends and family there. This town is a quaint place, I'm guessing it was like so many towns in north eastern Pennsylvania. A coal mining town that thrived during the day's when coal was king. The Little Ireland Brewing Co. came up while looking for a restaurant to get something to eat and a beverage. This is a great little place for just such a stop. Prices are reasonable and it's an on-site micro brewery. So if your looking for a quaint restaurant bar, with a caffee layout, highly recommend you check it out. Also this town has a beautiful railroad train station that is serious need of being restored, and put to use. Jim Thorpe is a perfect example of what to do with a train station and town...

I am not a regular but have visited before. I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and sat at the bar. I had 1 beer, 1/2 dozen wings and a calzone to go. Wings were good. The help, on the other hand, was disappointing.

I tried to help and move it out of their way. It tipped over easily. I apologized and went to pick it up. She did it for me, then remarked directly to the other patron placing an order, "He's a disaster." She was referring to me and she was not kidding.

I don't recall doing anything else that made me worthy of the insult. I finished, paid, and left. The food is good. I may be back for take out. If I dine in again, it will be on a Sunday, when the staff is known to be friendlier and...

I am forever grateful to the good folk of Susquehanna and the owners of Little Ireland Brewing. In August 2024, while on day 4 of a bicycle trip from NYC to Niagara Falls, I fell behind schedule. It was getting dark and started storming and there was no way I would safely reach my destination for the night. I stopped in Susquehanna at the brewery for a late dinner and hoped someone could help me. Locals dining at the brewery offered to give me a lift. Ultimately, the owner drove me and my bike to the motel in the next town over without asking for anything in return. It was a selfless act that really helped me out. Thank you so much Jared! I wish you and your family continued success...
