BETHLEHEM, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — Mark Dennis has reimagined the 200-year-old Hanoverville Roadhouse as a restaurant filled with artifacts from the Lehigh Valley’s past.<\/p>\n
The Hanoverville Roadhouse can trace back its history to 1825 and lived many lives as a stagecoach stop, general store, hotel, biker bar, and restaurant.<\/p>\n
Dennis, a bartender with experience in both the restaurant and construction businesses, purchased the building in 2017 and began renovations.<\/p>\n
He designed the interior with items from local institutions that had either closed or been torn down, such as the Boyd Theater and the Newburg Inn.<\/p>\n
He also uncovered a trap door that led to an underground tunnel, which is prominently featured through a glass window in the floor.<\/p>\n
Rumors of haunts in the Hanoverville Roadhouse have led to many successful ‘ghost-hunt dinners’ and have attracted many guests interested in paranormal activity.<\/p>\n
During the week of July 12 to July 19, 2025, the Hanoverville Roadhouse will host 200th birthday activities such as live entertainment, karaoke, a car show, bike night, a ghost hunt dinner and murder mystery dinner.<\/p>\n
