**Diving Deep into a Local Gem: A Comprehensive Look at [Restaurant Name]**

Nestled within a lively neighborhood, this dive bar offers hearty eats at reasonable prices, typically between $10 and $30 per person. The menu shines with crowd-pleasers like steamed clams and BBQ bacon cheese burgers, though some dishes may miss the mark, such as soggy onion rings. The atmosphere blends charmingly chaotic with smoke-filled nostalgia, attracting a loyal clientele. While service can be hit-or-miss, the friendly staff and congenial patrons foster a welcoming environment. Despite its quirks, many regulars cherish it as their go-to spot, often returning for the delightful food and vibrant social scene.

Being a non smoker I was unsure about this place due to the smoking atmosphere. However when I went there. The bar had about 7 people and they were all smoking. I did not smell a thing. They have a really good ventilation system. I went there for the clams and I was not disappointed at all. I will return with my family next time. I'm giving this establishment an A1 rating. You won't find a better clam deal anywhere. Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

My 33 years of living in Allentown, I’ve always said “one day I’ll stop in there” I finally did and don’t regret it! Food is hot and ready, bartender is personable and enthusiastic! It is a smoke friendly which I don’t mind but just giving a heads up! They also have a pool table and skill games! Good music too!

It is a bar so under 21 is not allowed in. There is a small dining room on the other side of the bar or you can order food sitting at the bar. We went for little neck clams and they were delicious served with butter. Also had a tasty ½ lb hamburger with onion rings, both were extremely good. Prices were very reasonable also! We will be back! Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3

We were there recently. You walk into a bar that's very tight to get past and it's smokey since they allow smoking throughout. The dining tables are between a pool table and gambling machines. You must order at the bar then the cook brings the food to the table. The food was good but the barmaid didn't seem to be very interested in taking our order, more socializing with the bar patrons. The cook/waiter should be the only person getting tipped but we had to tip at the bar and they split it. The barmaid, in our opinion, didn't deserve a tip. Won't be going back. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1 Recommended dishes: Mushroom Swiss Burger, Ribeye Onion Rings Pierogi's, 2 Dozen Clams

A great little bar in Emmaus Pennsylvania. One of the last bars he would have to smoke in the Lehigh Valley is a plus. The beer is cheap, the food is good and you can't beat the deal on the clams. I highly recommend Commix Hotel. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
