LOWER SAUCON TWP. — A former restaurant/bar/bowling alley and music venue will reopen as a “state-of-the-art multi-entertainment center and event venue that uses cutting-edge technology,” it was announced Tuesday.
The former Revolutions in Saucon Valley Square Shopping Center on Route 378 this summer will become B Social indoor entertainment center, which seeks to “provide guests with a unique, multifaceted experience,” the company said in a news release.
The 45,000-square-foot building’s owner, 3717 FEC LLC, announced the plans.

"Our goal with B Social is to create an epic destination where anyone can come together, just as our name implies, to be social,” B Social co-owner Kayur Popat said in the release.
“Whether you choose arcade games, ax throwing, bowling or enjoying our diverse menu, we’re the place for you. We want B Social to be the ultimate destination for every kind of gathering, celebration and unforgettable experience."
B Social said it will have more than 70 TV screens and two next-generation, high-performance mega-spectacular LED walls, a 34-foot dining room screen and a 24-foot experience center screen.
It also will offer live music, a dance floor, bowling, ax-throwing and an arcade.
It said it also will have three full-service bars and an indoor/outdoor beer garden serving hyper-local craft beers.
The owners said the restaurant menu “will reflect Lehigh Valley’s culinary heritage, serving handcrafted bites from a ceramic pizza oven.”
'A perfect space'
The new business will be able to be booked for “private party options … for all gatherings, like corporate events, children’s birthday parties, networking mixers or milestone celebrations,” according to the release.
“B Social is more than a culinary destination,” B Social General Manager Zoltan Estrella said. “Our open layout allows us to transform each section of our venue into the perfect space for any celebration or gathering.”

The building, at 3717 Route 378, originally was a Regal Cinema.
In 2013, it was converted into Revolutions Multi Venue Entertainment Center, which offered a restaurant, two bars, a 20-lane bowling alley, a 50-game arcade, a sports “stadium” with huge projection TV screens, and two performance stages.
Revolutions closed in 2019.
3717 FEC LLC bought the site in 2022 and undertook “an extensive renovation campaign to transform it into the ultimate entertainment hub unlike any other in the Lehigh Valley,” the release says.
It says renovations included a new HVAC system; a state-of-the-art sound and video system including television and projector upgrades; and reupholstering all furniture.
Also, upgrading the bowling management system to the latest high-tech Sync Center Operations; installing the newest and most popular arcade games, such as Godzilla; and replacing all the refrigeration and beer coolant lines.
“What sets us apart from other venues in the area is our unique blend of activities and ambiance that truly captures the spirit of the Lehigh Valley,” B Social co-owner Mike Patel said.
Patel and Popat also own and operate El Jefe, a new restaurant and event hub in Norristown, Montgomery County.
B Social is hiring for all positions, with applications taken online.
