Kick back and come as you are at this Hellertown hangout, where the menu is as authentic and refreshingly unexpected as its background music selection. Celebrate the day with a glass – or flight – of distinctive adult beverages. The laid-back 12-seat bar dispenses rotating premise-made beers, from IPAs to porters, along with local craft brews. Also offered among the 14 taps are house-made hard lemonade and hard cider. Two sizes of growlers enable guests to continue the taste-testing process at home. New Drip-original “small batch” adult drinks deliver boozy-fruity refreshment in such intriguing flavors as Mango Tingle, Caramel Apple, Strawberry Mead and more – ideal for sampling with a flight or two. Refreshments for all ages include floats and shakes.
Hearty made-to-order burgers and sandwiches are the irrestible staples of the menu. Multiple versions of juicy burgers (made from finely ground and hand-formed beef or an Impossible Burger) and buttermilk-battered fried chicken sandwiches arrive on toasted brioche buns, custom baked to support a hefty assortment of toppings. For example, the popular BLT-style Hamlet stacks up with bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Several selections are accessorized with tangy house-made bread-and-butter pickles. With a cult-like following, their Southern style chicken – with a seasoned crispy coating sealing in the juices of the tender meat – makes Drip the Lehigh Valley’s go-to place for this wildly sought-after sandwich. One recent addition to the line-up swaps the bun for warm, freshly prepared waffles (see page 109 for the batter recipe.) A choice of sides includes a salad with a signature house-crafted dressing or fries. Upgrading to Cracked Fries piled with melted cheese, bacon, herb-enhanced ranch dressing, and jalapenos will have your taste buds doing backflips. Separate – but highly inclusive – gluten-free and vegan menus are at the ready to feed special dietary needs.
A heated patio with umbrella-topped tables extends the al fresco season, and take-out ordering expands Drip dining options.
