Visiting Wanderlust Beer Garden in Forks Township, Pennsylvania, feels like discovering a hidden hideaway.

Located just outside Easton, this unique beer garden offers a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, a wide selection of craft beers, playground areas for kids, and mouth-watering cuisine, making it the perfect spot for family fun! Wanderlust Beer Garden is worth a visit on a sunny day, so let’s dive into this review and find out why!

Hoppy Beer Review

Wanderlust Beer Garden’s 20-tap system offers a wide selection of craft beer for all palates. You can choose from classics like Miller Lite or Yuengling or venture into their crafty section, which includes Victory Summer Love, Sweet Water Hazy IPA, and Founders Green Zebra. The rotating taps also feature local favorites that shouldn’t be missed, such as Bonn Place’s Mooey, Sherman Street’s New Mexican Lager, and Funk’s Double Citrus, giving guests a taste of the many local craft breweries in the area.

Can’t find what you’re looking for on tap? Wanderlust has a HUGE selection of canned beers, seltzers, vodka sodas, and cocktails. Canned drinks are the hottest trend in bars and can be enjoyed right out of the can or poured over ice on those hot summer days. Perhaps you will catch snippets of conversation in which individuals excitedly declare, “I am here for the Blue Drink.” This coveted libation, aptly dubbed the Caribbean Sea or the Blue Drink, is Wanderlust’s signature concoction, comprising Tito’s Vodka, Blue Curacao, and lemonade.

As you approach the iconic Air Stream for a beverage, you are greeted by friendly and knowledgeable bar staff ready to help guide you on your Wanderlust journey. Each staff member is well-versed in Wanderlust’s vast array of drinks. Are you still wondering what to go with? Ask for a small sample of anything they have on tap, and they will happily hand one over. The bar is also stocked with an excellent red and white wine selection.

Food, Entertainment, and Dog-Friendly

Wanderlust features a fantastic food menu selection, with the area designed to resemble a food truck setup. However, both kitchens are stationary, adding a cool vibe to the main outdoor area. They offer a selection of burgers, ranging from your traditional Cheeseburger to ones with flare, like the Blue Cheeseburger or Norwegian with smoked salmon, Boursin cheese, and balsamic glaze. They also offer a variety of sandwiches and flatbreads. We tried both the Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich and the St. Maarten Flatbread. Both were amazing and did not disappoint!

After picking up your delicious food, you’ll want a place to sit and enjoy it. Fortunately, there are plenty of seating options at this beer garden.

  • Picnic tables are set up in front of the main stage area. 
  • Further back towards the building are fire pits with casual lounge-style seating. 
  • Above the fire pits in a separate space are high-top tables with standing heaters for cooler nights. 
  • Near the Air Stream bar area are restaurant-style booth tables with small lamps that create a great ambiance. 
  • In the backyard, several Adirondack chairs with umbrellas and bistro-style tables and chairs are perfect for watching your kiddos while they play.

Wanderlust offers a variety of entertainment options for guests during their visit. They have a corn hole area with multiple playing spots. Wanderlust also features fantastic live music performers, offering live music every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening.

Wanderlust is also incredibly dog-friendly, offering a fenced-in dog park area for patrons bringing furry friends. Additionally, there are various water bowls available for use during your visit.

Hoppy Parent Tip- Keep an eye on the weather forecast. As of the publication date of this blog post, they are outdoor-only, so if it rains, they will close.

Kid-Friendly Beer Garden

Their food menu offers many kid-friendly options, including the Bavarian Pretzel, Chicken Fingers & Fries, and Mac n’ Cheese. They also have kid-friendly drinks available in the food purchasing area.

Wanderlust has a large play area with two playgrounds for kids and a large open site near the playgrounds. In addition to the seating options listed above, there are also some options that kids will love, such as sitting in the back of a truck bed or on a bike.

Hoppy Parent Tip- All beer garden areas are well-lit so that you can extend your visit into the evening.

Other Important Family Amenities

Bathrooms- Bathrooms are located in the main building and outside, behind the air stream bar. Both bathrooms are clean and well-maintained.

Accessibility- Depending on the area, the beer garden is all on one level, with a mix of grass and gravel. Maneuvering a stroller or wheelchair would not pose any issues.

Parking- There is plenty of parking in a large paved parking lot, but the spaces fill up fast, especially on Friday and Saturday.

Klein Farms has a lot of fun seasonal family events throughout the spring, summer,  and fall seasons. Our family’s favorite is always the corn maze and the trip to the pumpkin field on a tractor!

A bit further down the road at 3521 Sullivan Trail is Two T’s Golf & Log Cabin Creamery. They offer indoor and outdoor (seasonal)  mini-golf courses, go-karts (seasonal), laser tag, and an indoor arcade.
