Bucks County

Sellersville

A borough that's easy to underestimate until you see who's playing this weekend. The 1894 Sellersville Theater, a former horse stable turned concert hall, shares a wall with the historic Washington House on Main Street, so a national touring act and a proper dinner are the same stop.

The Washington House Hotel & Restaurant

The dinner-and-a-show half of the Sellersville Theater complex, sharing a wall with the 325-seat STG stage so you can eat and walk next door without moving the car. Contemporary American plates, an antique bar, and eleven rooms upstairs if the night runs long.

Roy Ann Diner

The Roy Ann is a diner on Bethlehem Pike in Sellersville. Google currently shows it open only Tuesday through Thursday, 6 to 8 — call before you drive over, because that's a thin week for a diner.

1318 Bethlehem Pike

The Horse Tavern & Grille

A bar and grill on Old Bethlehem Pike in Sellersville, open to 2 a.m. every night of the week by Google's listing. Sunday keeps the same last call as Saturday, which is rarer out here than you'd expect.

1000 Old Bethlehem Pike

Nock's Cafe

A daytime cafe on Bethlehem Pike in Sellersville, open 7 to 2 every day for breakfast and lunch. There's no website to scout the menu ahead of time, so you sort it out at the table.

1613 Bethlehem Pike

Café @ The Mill

Breakfast and lunch inside Wambold's Grist Mill, built in 1737 on the East Branch of the Perkiomen and empty for years before its recent revival. Order the Texas French toast or the barn burger, and chips and salsa land on the table while you wait.

1 S Main St

The Fizzy Fern

Dirty soda done right: Sprite or Dr Pepper loaded with cream and flavored syrup, poured from a counter inside the Just One More Plant shop on North Main. Pair one with a real New York bagel, browse the houseplants on your way out, and go back for the Garlic Parm before it runs out.

220 N Main St

Sellersville Beverage & Cigar

A family beer distributor since 2006, with a walk-in humidor of a few thousand cigars set behind the cases of craft, import, and domestic. Build your own six-pack, grab a keg, or walk out with an adult slushie.

The Next Chapter Bookstore

Helen and Jess Ward, mother and daughter, run this new-books shop on North Main, heavy on romance, fantasy, horror, and a whole wall pulled straight from BookTok. Open Wednesday through Sunday, with teen fiction that keeps up with what's actually trending.

205 N Main St

Bucks County Rare Coin & Precious Metals

Bring in the shoebox of old coins from a grandfather's desk and they'll test the jewelry right in front of you, no push to sell. U.S. currency, gold and silver bullion, sterling flatware, and a clean 5 stars across 93 reviews.

116 N Main St

Green Top Gift Shop

A small gift shop on Green Top Road in Sellersville, open weekdays with a short Saturday morning and closed on Sundays. Its whole storefront lives on a Facebook page, so what's in stock stays a walk-in surprise.

24A Green Top Rd

Lizzie High Dolls

The factory store and little museum for Lizzie High dolls, the wooden folk figures with blank two-dot faces that Ladie & Friends has made here since the late 1980s. Shelves run from punkins to shoestring babies, most still stamped made in the USA.

220 N Main St

Kaleidoscope Angels

Crystals, incense, and handmade pieces from local consigners share the shelves with an Etsy overflow you can browse in person on North Main. Book a foot reflexology or Reiki session in back — walk-in shopping Wednesday through Sunday, private appointments the rest of the week.

135 N Main St

Lake Lenape Waterfalls

The spillway pours over a low WPA-built dam into the East Branch of the Perkiomen Creek, the natural halfway point on the loop that circles this 122-acre park straddling Sellersville and Perkasie. Twin suspension bridges from the Roebling company (the Brooklyn Bridge people) cross the water just upstream, and the lake behind the dam was dedicated in September 1937.

1 S Main St

The Sellersville Museum

The town's whole history stuffed into an old schoolhouse: 19th-century farm tools, local sports memorabilia, and fashion sketches by designer Katherine Berkemeyer spread across two floors. It only opens the second full weekend of the month, noon to 4, and the special-exhibit room swaps its topic every time you come back.

120 E Church St

James Memorial Park

West Rockhill Township's park on the old James farmstead, dedicated in 1975, with a half-mile walking path, a pond, basketball and sand volleyball courts, a tot lot, two pavilions, and a dog park. Heritage House, the restored farmhouse at its center, became home to the West Rockhill Historical Society after 2011.

1027 Ridge Road

Sellersville Disc Golf Course

Nineteen holes threaded through the town park off Walnut Street, with a creek and pond in play on enough of them to swallow a disc if you get greedy off the tee. Concrete tee pads, three pin positions on nearly every hole, restrooms by 1 and 7, and it costs nothing to play.

124 E Walnut St

Lake Lenape Park

Bucks County's biggest municipal park at 122 acres, dreamed up by Sellersville's David Cressman and built by the WPA in the 1930s, with twin Roebling suspension bridges strung over the East Branch Perkiomen. Come for the 18-hole disc golf course, the 3-plus-mile creek path, or the ice rink once the pond freezes over.

210 E Walnut St

Sellersville Theater

The 325-seat room behind the ST94 name marks 1894, the year on the building, and books national touring music, comedy, and theater. Grab dinner next door at the Washington House before the lights drop.

24 W Temple Ave

Partly. There is a walkable stretch, but plan on driving between some stops. We score its main-street walk 3 out of 5; the Sellersville scouting report shows how that compares to the other towns.
