Zest Bar & Grille

ZEST bar+grille, a new restaurant from the creators of the Grille 3501 of West End Allentown, opened in January 2019 on the rooftop floor of 306 South New Street, in the heart of Bethlehem’s South Side Arts District. ZEST, defined by 'great enthusiasm and energy,' is the vision of the culinary and social experience that Owners John Trapani and John “JP” Pukanecz plan to deliver to the Valley using South Side Bethlehem as their stage.

A new and unique dining experience, ZEST offers seasonal indoor/outdoor, four season balcony seating where guests will enjoy spectacular views of the Steel Stacks, Hill-to-Hill and Fahy bridges, as well as the Bethlehem Library, City Hall, Martin Tower, and beyond. ZEST is a place where guests can dive deep into the newest culinary creations offered through a progressive menu that highlights the best of New American cuisine.

Tapping into techniques used successfully at Grille 3501, Chef Justin Cogan's culinary creativity continues to shine, but in an all new setting.
