Bethlehem news

Four months after south Bethlehem's Broadway Social closed, satisfying an agreement with the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, a new restaurant and nightclub has debuted in its place.

Revel Social, which held a soft opening Nov. 1 at 217 Broadway, features a look very similar to its predecessor.

Booths have been replaced with high-top tables in the bar area, but not much else has changed aesthetically, general manager Maurizio Marquez said.

A new menu features “casual, American pub-style dishes,” including burgers, cheesesteaks, chicken wings, flatbreads, quesadillas, sandwiches and salads, Marquez said.

Revel owner Jay Patel, of Philadelphia, next year plans to pursue an amended version of an expansion — complete with a rooftop beer garden — into an adjacent building that former Broadway Social owner Greg Salomoni first announced a few years ago. Marquez said. Info: 610-868-2555.
