This is Iezzi's Tavern at 61 South Reading Avenue in Boyertown, PA (at the corner of Reading Avenue and Third Street). Locally it's refered to as just Iezzi's.

I believe the original owner was Nick Iezzi and the business was then taken over by his daughter and her husband, the DiCindios. It was then taken over by their son, Jimmy DiCindio.

Iezzi's is a great small-town bar. Now that I'm married with three kids, I go maybe once every couple years. But friends and I hung out there quite a bit in the 1990s.

When you walk in, there's a large square bar in the center of the front room with seating on all sides. Along the side walls are counters with stools. If you go straight back, there's a small room with about five small tables where you can sit to eat.

At the time, I used to drink Coors Light-one of their beers on tap. A small glass was 50 cents, and a tall glass was $1. You couldn't beat a place where you could walk in with $10 and spend a few hours drinking. Even a mixed drink was reasonably priced.

There was always a sporting event on the TV, but usually people met there to talk to friends.

There's a small parking lot behind the building on Third Street, and people park across the street in the old Auto Body Works lot. But, I was lucky enough to live in town where I could always walk to Iezzi's!

The food at Iezzi's is great. Homemade pasta sauce and meatballs. I know some people love their hamburgers, too. I think they used to make the sauce fresh for Thursdays, but go early because the tables used to fill up quickly on Thursday nights.

In the past Iezzi's has prepared the sauce and meatballs for the Boyertown Key Club's annual spaghetti dinner, which raises funds for the James DiCindio, Jennifer Gilbert, Leslie Saponsky, Boyertown Area Key Club, Kiwanis Club Memorial Scholarship.

Iezzi's is also a favorite spot for some people to watch the Boyertown Halloween Parade. The Boyertown Halloween Parade is usually the second to last Saturday in October. (The last Saturday in October reserved for Hamburg's King Frost Parade).
