As restaurants were mandated to temporarily stop dine-in services and offer curbside pickup and delivery options only due to COVID-19, if you’re like most, you’re surely missing your favorite dining spots in Pennsylvania’s Americana Region by now! We’re happy to announce that as Berks County transitions into the yellow phase, outdoor dining at select restaurants will be available. Enjoy the beautiful summer weather while safely enjoying your favorite meals outdoors.
Chatty Monks Brewing Company
While Chatty Monks Brewing Company will be one of the many local restaurants opening their outdoor seating on June 5, they will only be seating two tables in front of the pub so it’s important to get your reservations in!

Cafe Sweet Street
When Cafe Sweet Street asked what their customers missed most about the cafe, the most popular response was their outdoor deck. Well, they’re excited to announce that as of June 5, their beautiful deck will be open to dine. The cafe will have sanitizing stations set up at every entrance and exit and they ask that all guests sanitize their hands before entering and when leaving their space. Masks must be worn everywhere in the cafe, except at your own table and tables will be spaced 6 feet apart.
Orders will be placed inside at the counter and you will receive a text when your order is ready to pick up. Once your meal is finished, there is a service station outdoors where you may return your dirty dishes and throw out any trash. Their employees will receive daily temperature checks and wear a mask and gloves at all times. While reservations are not necessary, they are encouraged, and a one hour time slot can be reserved by calling 610-929-0616.
The Knight’s Pub
Beginning Friday, June 5, The Knight's Pub at Stokesay Castle will be open for outside dining on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 5:00pm-9:00pm. Similar to the other local restaurants offering outdoor dining, The Knight’s Pub will be opening with strict safety guidelines in place. The pub will be using disposable menus, and most of their disposable products are also biodegradable and compostable. While they previously enforced detailed cleaning procedures, they have further added to their routine for the safety of their staff and guests.
