We had a great time at "The Ho" last night for Karaoke. It was a little dirty, rode hard, and put away wet, but what are you actually looking for....it's a bar for cry-yie! If you're looking for a "-tini" atmosphere - stay clear. Liked the fact that they had a separate room for karaoke that was non-smoking, and it had it's own bar. Smokers could go next door if they wanted to. Place was hopping for a Wednesday night, off-semester. Music selection was okay, and the singers were...well, it was Karaoke. Lets just leave it at that. Good drink specials on rail drinks and the pitchers were well-priced. Will come back again next time I'm in town.

Do not come here for the food, strictly a college beer & shot joint. Service was poor, slow and the food was low quality at best.

Ew. Don't eat here!

This place is just great as they say! Went here a couple of times this week and got never disappointed. Bartenders were awesome, they were very chatty and you will never get disappointed with their shots.

Same tally ho of long ago. The vines and spiders on the back balcony have been removed.

Being a Lehigh grad I've drank at the Tally Ho many a time, but realized yesterday this was my first time actually eating here. I ordered the drunken chili which came out with lots of melted cheese and sour cream. Next I had the crab quesadilla. I was VERY pleasantly surprised. It had good taste and lots of crab. I have my hubby the jalapeño slaw as it had too much kick for me but he loved it. I would definitely return.

Upon visiting Bethlehem on the day before Christmas, we were starving after we visited the Putz and Christmas markets. We drove to the Steel stacks side of town since we were planning on seeing that side of the town in the PM and there were barely anything open! :( We sat down in one of the many wooden booths that definitely looked like it had seen better days. But personally, i loved the weathered vibe and the aged look of the bar. It feels like one of those dumpy bars that you go hang out at. We ordered a side of gravy fries with melted mozzarella as starter for sharing and each got a burger. The Cubano was ridiculously large. It had fried pickles, shredded pork, a burger patty, and melted cheese. My patty was a bit overcooked but aside from that it was a pretty damn good burger that totally gave me a food coma. I came in starving, walked out with a belly full of fatty foods. Happiness.... * the bar does permit indoors smoking - so different from NYC!

The "Ho" was a favorite hang out for my friends and I until we discovered that the bartenders are not only making weak drinks, but they are rude. The place at one time had an interesting decor/theme but now it's run down and dirty. It is definitely a college bar which if you're into that then go and enjoy. My big beef with this place is the bartenders. There are much better bars in the Bethlehem area.

"The Ho" has such a legendary tradition as "The Lehigh Bar" - long before McGrady's came along, BUT with the somewhat recent change in ownership in 2012/2013 - its rapidly losing it's dive bar charm due to complete neglect. The outdoor deck was always a great spot, but it's so decrepit, you really have to think about what's going on in the kitchen - and I'm serious. Outside, spindles are missing from the railing, tiles falling off the bar, paint peeling off the wallthe plastic chairs have broken backs - great way to crack you head open, even sober. Service is friendly, but I think the owner owes it to Bethlehem, the Lehigh community and its patrons to clean it up inside and out.
(2)Daniel H.
Either I'm getting older or the place looks a lot more run down. I remember going here when I was a Lehigh student but was it always this dingy and dirty feeling? Almost as if you don't want to touch the menus and you look at the silverware suspiciously? The food isn't super cheap anymore. The beer wasn't quite as cold as I'd like. The wings were still good though. The service was alright. I guess a lot of my feelings are colored by the fact that I couldn't quite identify the smell in the bar area. But it certainly gave my stomach a turn. Perhaps terrible cigars? It is a smoking establishment. It's a college bar. It has that weathered old look that makes Lehigh culture feel like Lehigh culture. Some of that might be just my own nostalgia. The Ho is a place of memories. And people are still probably making their own memories on weekend nights there! (go for the experience, not the food or drink)
(2)John D.
stopped in recently for a bite to eat after a long hiatus and left absolutely amazed. The food here went from crap a few years ago to delicious. The country boy was as big as it was awesome and my girlfriend loved her vegetarian tacos, made with real falafel! The place could use a freshening up but the food was worth the trip. Service was good. **updated,,apparently a scorn ex employee or patron, daniel c., messaged me bad talking the place, some people just have no life.
(5)Kathleen D.
This is a divey, kinda grimy bar with a deck that plays some random-but-generally-decent music, like Fall Out Boy and Usher. I was here during a St. Patty's bar crawl with a large group, and the bartenders handled themselves well. I could see this place -- which the locals seemed to endearingly (?) call the "Ho" -- being more fun later at night than in the mid-afternoon.
(3)Paul G.
DON'T DO IT!!! Horrible food. Then to top it off I decided to enjoy a 60 minute ipa... When the bouncers daughter who apparently works there (only know this because she belligerently drunk and kept repeating it) grabbed my full beer and threw it on me. Then 5 minutes later after complaining to staff, I was thrown out? Much better places to get food and or a beer in the valley. This place is white trash at its finest.
(1)C. M.
I've come here twice so far, both times were off nights during dinner time, so it wasn't busy. Beer specials were excellent, ($6 for Shock Top pitcher) and the food is surprisingly good and priced well considering what you'd expect by the look of this place. Staff is really knowledgeable on menu items, fast and friendly. Will be going back for dinner, and sometime I'll get around to trying it at night with the bar crowd.
(5)Barbara G.
Went last night for some beer and burgers. Quite possible the WORST burger I have ever had....like a dry softball of meat. Why did they bother to ask me how I wanted it done if it was just going to be served overdone. Terrible with bad service too. Supposed to be under new management with a new "chef"...hahaha, no "chef" would make a hamburger like that!
(1)Matthew B.
This place has really gone downhill. It was never terribly impressive, but it used to be a good cheap place to drink and hang out with your friends. In the past few years it has become even more disgusting (it was always a little gross) and the crowd of people that go there is just awful. It is no longer the Lehigh hangout that it once was - it is being infiltrated by the terrible neighborhood that surrounds it, so much so that there are frequently police officers on duty there. It's alright during the day - the food is decent and inexpensive and the unappealing crowd doesn't roll in until later on in the night.
(2)Karen F.
The Ho was a University staple for people in my era. They for a time - way back when - were more lax about serving minors but not so any mroe -s o bring a REAL id. Food is just bar food and drinks were cheap and plentiful. Many nights of debauchery either began or ended at the Ho.
(3)Megan B.
It's alright. They have $5 fajitas every Monday, which is amazing. It's good for a cheap dinner and a beer. Don't go there with your family, though. Definitely a younger crowd area. In the summer they got rid of club night, which was definitely a plus. Not sure if it's back yet or not. Be careful, though. Most of the seats are broken. :\ Edit: 04/11 Down from three stars. Tally Ho went downhill. They raised prices on all of their food and the service is now pretty crappy.
(2)Jess M.
The one and only reason the Ho gets 2 stars is because it's a smoking bar. It would get 4 if it weren't. Great beer selection and conveniently located just a few blocks from my boyfriend's place. Great food, better beer, fun atmosphere (college bar), nice deck, and almost daily events from karaoke to quizzo. If you're adventurous, definitely try for the centennial club. You get a sheet with 100 numbers on it and you have to try 1 beer from 100 different breweries. Once you've covered all 100, you get a sweet mug that they'll [eventually] get engraved with whatever you want on it. Over the course of the 100 beers, you spend about $500+ but once you get the mug, you get $1 off every beer henceforth served in the mug. Definitely for adventurous drinkers. Heard the record was 1 week to finish it; homeboy was there everyday. Crazy. Good cheap food, too. Quesadillas are huge and delicious, tacos on flatbread are very yummy, many burger choices. Service isn't always the best, but it's a great place.

"The Ho" as it is affectionately called is great. It seems like it is a small place when it's crowded, but actually has 3 rooms, a patio, and 3 different bars. There is a main bar and dining room with semi-private booths, a patio with its own bar (only downside is it closes an hour early), a dining room used for karaoke and the like at night, and a dance room with another, smaller bar. The food is great - although I've only been there early enough to enjoy it once. Beer choices are seemingly endless, and we all know we love their $1 well drink Wednesday nights. I am not a Lehigh student, so I cannot rate as to the quality or "mix" of the crowd 9 months out of the year. But, I am of college age - so when I go when I come from home from school from May to August, I go to the Ho. It is always a good crowd and I've never witnessed anything go on there that shouldn't have. The staff is friendly, just seemed a bit rushed and even a bit understaffed on busy nights. All in all, one of Bethlehem's better dive bars. (P.S. The place is a DIVE BAR - expect it to be a bit of a dump.)
(4)Ty S.
What a tragedy of Bethlehem bars!! A total opposite of what this place once was. If you are a thug wannabe, hate any decent music and love cigarette smoke as well as patrons that stink worse than that. This is yor place!! God awful !!!
(1)Cici C.
I live right down the street, but for some reason only started really going here about two months ago. I'm an enormous fan of the fact that there is semi-private booth seating, so you can actually have a conversation with the person you came with. The booths themselves are in pretty sketchy condition, but I'm there to drink, not shoot the cover of Architectural Digest, so whatever. The food is pretty close to being the best bar food I've had -- I've sampled a good portion of the menu at this point and have yet to be disappointed. Mixed drinks are always tasty. Most importantly, most of the staff I've encountered have been friendly, prompt, and personable. The only downside is when people with questionable taste get control of the jukebox...
(5)Wade L.
I'm in grad school and the Ho used to be the department jam. All of the people older than me have about a million stories about long, crazy nights spent in carved-up booths... But the Ho seems to be a shell of what it probably was. And that kept me away for a long time. I've been there and seen the gleaming array of tap handles, lusting after a Victory or a Troeg's or even a Sam Adams, and been told that all the kegs have kicked. They have Lager and Miller Lite. Time to man up? I think not. Do i want to sit out on the patio and be accosted by Bud Light with Lime girls? No, i really truly don't. And yet, there's something redeeming going on here. Much like other dives, the awful stuff that sucks about it somehow transmutes into something magic. I don't mind that it isn't a Lehigh hangout anymore - that's my least favorite part about lots of bars on the South Side. I don't mind not having good beer, so long as i don't EXPECT it anymore. I don't mind a smoky bar a--oh wait, smoke? really? you can smoke here!? The fans are so good most of the time you can actually dodge the smoking! And when karaoke starts and some seriously cheesy dudes get up there and sign up for seriously cheesy stuff like 10 times in a row, i just clutch my lager and smile. Because it's an adventure. The idea that the neighborhood that surrounds it is "terrible" is fucking laughable. But then again, i'm happy Lehigh kids are avoiding it, at this point. Hopefully they'll get a better DJ and i'll be able to dance my ass off (right now nobody seems to want to on Friday nights) with all of the "terrible" people.

The Ho is a fun place to go if you're looking to try a lot of different beers--they've got somewhere around 40 on tap, with even more in bottles. I tend not to go here too often, as it's often very smokey. I've had burgers here on 2 occasions, and they're pretty good. I haven't tried the other food. When the place is crowded, it's almost impossible to move around due to how the place is set up, and the booths are pretty cramped.
(3)Brian L.
Had some good times here when I went to LU and lived just up the street. They also had some awesome Ho Burger specials on wednesdays. They have one of those beer "clubs" where you get a mug if you finish all the beers on their list. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to try it, but I had a couple friends who have. IMO better than Grady's.
(3)Allison P.
I don't know, you guys. This is my favorite bar ever. The outside deck rules, the food specials are awesome, and they have a million beers (including some GREAT ones). I guess it can get a little crowded at night during the school year... but it's really great when you go there for dinner around 5-6pm (not too crowded) or pretty much all summer long. I spent all summer here and I loved every minute of it. I guess I have yet to experience the fratty side of the Ho (then again, I like sausage fests haha). Most of the waitresses are pretty good (sometimes a little slow) but I recommend sitting at the bar, because you get the best service and get to have conversations with the awesome bar tenders :)
(5)Max M.
like all the reviews before great food but all sticky yeah kinda interesting place to chill but fun to hang out with friends they are lucky they are across the college so they have costumers all the time
(3)Jen A.
The food is good, but the service has definitely lacked everytime I've been there. Parking is difficult and you have to walk a little ways to get there. Not my favorite, but worth a visit once in awhile.
(3)Ben W.
the ho was a great place to just hang out back in my college days. The only gripe i have is the narrow rows and sometimes its impossible to go from one place to another. but the rest of the bar where the pool tables and the outdoor seating were somewhat open. Good place to hang out and meet people back in the day.
(3)Charly J.
I like the Ho because of their beer selection, which is better than the usual selection at most of the local bars. The food is good, but the service is lacking. My hubby & I went there for their chili & fajitas, which were EXTREMELY filling (better fajitas than @ Jack Creek), but the place could be cleaner. We usually just go for a few beers & eat somewhere else. Avoid on Friday or Saturday nights unless you are ABSOLUTELY into the loud, college crowd & smoky atmosphere.
(3)Adam H.
This place is an ok watering hole. Booth seating is kind of weird for night life but delightfully intimate. Karaoke,...always a good time. I have not eaten here so I can't rate the food. :)
(3)Vanessa W.
A favorite with nearby Lehigh University Students, the Ho is your typical pub atmosphere, with a bit of a dance hall twist. Food is reasonable, and decent, but nothing special. They have an adjacent, albeit small, room to the main restaurant/bar area where they host various groups, and also have DJ dancing nights.
(3)mundania h.
I totally agree with Mike M. when he said "a frat house basement--complete with spilled beer smell." I had a co-worker who for some reason LOVED this place which use to be a block from my house. I really enjoy getting together with my friends and having a nice night out with beer and greasy bar food. But when the choice was to go here I would only stay for about an hour. That was all I could take. For me, going to "the Ho" as they call it (love that name by the way) was entering a big sausage fest. It's a lot of Lehigh college guys wearing their best baseball caps and girls that barely have any clothes on. It has a weird beer smell and you can't really move comfortably to get to the bar to order a beer. But some people might enjoy that type of atmosphere! I tend to like a more neighborhood, laid back bar without beer stench lingering in the air. ps. If you do decide to go this lovely establishment you can park a block up in Lehigh's Human Resource lot. There are usually tons of spaces but they are hidden in the back more behind the building.
(2)Kyle S.
They have a pretty nice brew selection, which is surprisingly affordable. I'm all for that. The feeling is kind of like going back in time because they have a bunch of historic shit or memorabilia on the walls and a lot of it all is just old wood. They have karaoke here which is a diamond in the rough. You can have a lot of fun singing or watching. The place is split into two rooms and there's a bar in each room which is nice. I've seen some cute girls taking a glance at me in there and that is also great in my opinion. If you're out in southside Bethlehem, visit this place as either your first, second, third stop.
(3)Samantha S.
This bar is not a favorite, but it's not awful either. It is very smoky and it's not great for groups because of the booth setup - the most they can accomodate are four people, and the aisles are too narrow to stand in next to the booths. So that's a downside. The drinks are pretty good here, but getting to the bar can prove difficult. The food is decent here. They have Kegs and Eggs on the morning of Lehigh Laf, which is fun and my friends and I usually stop off here for a bit.
(3)Glenn T.
Has anyone read the PA state health report/inspection on this place? It has 12 violations and is non-compliant. Green slime in the ice maker, roaches, unsanitary cutting boards, flies and insects in the liquor bottles. Just to name a few violations.The one bartender has no personality and a newt probably has more. Dirty with health code violations...if I was 20 something and looking to score Lehigh chicks, then this would be a good start, as I wouldn't care about the smell and the dirt. As I am older, I do care about these things. I have been there once and won't go back.
