The Gulch Tavern — Restaurant in Bridgeton Township

🌲 Review: The Gulch Tavern – Upper Black Eddy, PA

Tucked between the Delaware River and whispering woods, The Gulch Tavern feels like a hidden retreat—where nature, music, and good food quietly conspire to create something special.

I only had the boom boom shrimp, but that was enough to convince me I’ll be back. Crispy, golden, and paired with a dipping sauce that hit all the right notes—tangy, creamy, and just the right amount of kick. Simple, satisfying, and clearly made with care.

Their beer selection leans local, mostly canned or bottled, which I genuinely appreciate. There’s something grounding about sipping a brew made just down the road, and it’s clear this place is committed to supporting nearby makers.

It’s been almost a year since they reopened, and while I expected a packed house on a Friday night, it was surprisingly mellow. That said, the vibe was perfect—clean, warm, and inviting, with chairs so comfortable I actually noticed (and that’s saying something). A two-man band played live music that blended beautifully with the natural soundtrack outside: peepers, crickets, and the hush of the river. It was one of those rare moments where everything just felt… right.

The aesthetics are warm and lovely, and the outdoor setting is pure magic. Between the trees and the water, with music floating through the night air, it felt like a place that should’ve been packed to the gills—but I’m secretly glad it wasn’t. It made the experience feel even more intimate.

The Gulch Tavern is a gem, and I’m already planning my next visit. There’s more on that menu I need to explore, and more evenings I want to spend in that quiet,...

Menu is great and the food was very good; service was very good as well; interior is very nice, seating somewhat limited as one area is completely designated for a pool table.

We happened to be there during a sports game, and the overall noise level was quite loud, hard to hold a conversation; not fault of theirs, I didn't realize it was geared towards being a sports bar. Personally I prefer a more quiet enviornment.

Only complaint I have is a drunk patron at the bar attempting to start a fight with another inebriated patron behind us - major turn off, and such childish behavior; I could tell it impacted other patrons around us as well. The staff attempted to shut it down but didn't really acknowledge the incident.

I would still probably go back for quick lunch as the menu is quite good but have no desire to experience...
