Poconos Nightlife and Live Music
Deer Head Inn
Enjoy fantastic live jazz when you visit the Deer Head Inn!

There’s even an in-house music label! There’s also a full dinner and bar menu, so if you’re looking for somewhere to go for a lively dinner out, the Deer Head Inn is a great choice!
Harmony Presents
Visit Breakers bar in Wilkes-Barre, PA, for good live music, drinks, and a great time. Found in the Mohegan Pennsylvania, all guests must be over 21 with a valid ID. The live music is a mix of local and regional acts that are certain to scratch your itch for new music that’s fun and exciting, starting at 8:30 pm.
Penn’s Peak
This concert venue that periodically welcomes big bands sits atop a mountain, making for panoramic views. There is a restaurant on site and a spacious outdoor deck where you can enjoy a drink and marvel at the sweeping vistas before the show. If you’re looking for big name bands but don’t want to drive to the big city to see them, Penn’s Peak is the place to go.
Sherman Theater
The Sherman Theater is a nonprofit concert hall and community theatre in Stroudsburg. You’ll see everything from concerts to festivals and special events here. Its location downtown means that you’ll be close to restaurants and bars after the show!
Wet Nightclub
Wet Nightclub is an indoor and outdoor nightclub at Mount Airy Casino Resort centered around an 11,000 square foot pool. The outside features fire pits with views of the lake, golf course, and surrounding Pocono Mountains.
Poconos Theatres
Casino Theatre
The Casino Theatre is more than just a movie theatre. While you can catch flicks at one of the two movie theatres, you can also stop by the malt shop and restaurant for some delicious food, or play a round of mini golf! If you’re out on a budget, the Casino Theatre often has specials ranging from dinner and movie combos to $5 movie nights. It’s also been a landmark in the Poconos for quite a while, as this establishment has been around since the 1900s, though not always as a movie theatre.
Pocono Cinema & Cultural Center
Another Poconos movie theatre with a long history is the Pocono Cinema & Cultural Center. It’s a small local theatre and is one of the few theatres in the area that plays non-blockbuster movies, so you can see unique films you might not see anywhere else here. It does get some larger films, so you can still support this local business if you’d prefer seeing a more popular title!
Shawnee Playhouse
If you prefer live theatre over the movies, head over to the Shawnee Playhouse! This cozy playhouse is a favorite with locals and visitors alike. For a fun night of Poconos entertainment, the Shawnee Playhouse will not disappoint!
Visit a Casino
Two major casinos in the Poconos offer everything from slots to classic table games and modern twists. Head on over to try your luck!
Stay Close to All the Fun
After your night out on the town, come back and relax in a tranquil lakeside lodge. It’s the perfect place to recharge! With cozy beds, private bathrooms, and lovely natural surroundings, you are sure to wake up every morning completely refreshed and ready for a day of exploring the Poconos. Start your day off right with our complimentary homemade breakfast! You’ll have your choice of a savory or sweet entree, and we can make accommodations for special dietary needs if you let us know in advance.
Be sure to take a look at all of our cozy accommodations before you book your stay in the Pocono Mountains! We look forward to hosting you.
