Minisink Hotel
A tavern in a building that has stood beside Marshalls Creek since the 1740s — a stagecoach stop, a general store, and a hotel before it was this. In Minisink Hills, on the creek, less than a mile from the Delaware.

Older than the road it stands on.
The Minisink is a tavern in a building that was several other things first. What follows is what public sources say; the owner is the one who can settle it.
- 1740s
- The building goes up beside Marshalls Creek, in the Minisink — the stretch of upper Delaware valley the hamlet takes its name from.
- Since then
- A stagecoach stop. A general store. A hotel. The name over the porch is the one that stuck.
- Now
- A full-service tavern with an old-school room: one kitchen, one bar, the same hours every day, and eight handles that keep moving.
- In season
- The covered walk bridge carries the room across the creek to a quiet piece of ground on the far bank, and the tables go with it.
At the bar
Eight handles and a long list of bottles and cans. The rotating IPA, the cider and the seasonal keep changing — ask what just went on.
Private gatherings
The far bank is part of the place. The covered walk bridge leads off the porch and over Marshalls Creek to a quiet piece of ground people spread out on in warm weather, and the lot out front has held the Pocono Olde Truck Show six years running. For a private gathering, call the tavern and ask what the room, the lot and the bridge can hold.
