The Story of 500 Main Street, Stroudsburg, PA 18360

If these walls could talk, they’d tell stories spanning more than half a century of Stroudsburg history. 500 Main Street was famously the home of Kay’s Tavern for 56 years (1965–2021). Owned and operated by local legend Kay Sambates, it served as the quintessential neighborhood pub where everyone knew your name. While the venue has stepped into a fresh new era as The Goat on Main, local history buffs will always remember this corner as the ultimate hometown landmark for a cold drink and a warm welcome.
