Large salads, good bar food, and very good drinks. Live music but It's too loud and I've never enjoyed the music, but maybe it's just not my taste. We continue to go to this place because of the food. read more

We were just passing through on a mind-numbing ride up the Northeast Extension to NY. We had to sit through 3 major accident-related traffic jams, and just wanted a tasty meal. Popped over here to Yelp, sorted by ratings, and started reading. Ale Mary's got all kinds of rave reviews not just as a cool spot, but for the FOOD. Our choice was made. Arrived just as USA v China World Cup game was getting underway. The game was on all the TVs and the volume was loud. Began to doubt if this detour was worth it when we sat and had to wait for a while to even talk to a server. But all was not lost. When our server, Beth, finally did appear, she was great. The right blend of enthusiasm and eagerness to please. We ordered the house salad, which Beth warned us was pretty large (delicious: mixed greens, thin- sliced apples, golden raisins, nut-covered goat cheese), and 2 sliders: The Eastwood - BBQ short ribs, onion rings, monterey cheese & a yummy sauce - & The Notorious P.I.G. - a decadent jalepeno hot dog, wrapped in bacon, topped with pulled pork BBQ & melted cheese served on a mini pointed ciabatta roll. To die for!! But these sliders are *not* one-bite deals and you get 3 per order PLUS your choice of regular fries (skinny cut with rosemary & a spicy dipping sauce) or sweet potato fries with a marshmallow dipping sauce (nirvana!!). You will not leave hungry and props to you if you can eat everything! This spot is hot! A definite recommendation. Two thumbs up. read more

This is a great place for yummy food, great drinks, friendly fast service, and reasonable prices. I went here twice with co workers while in town for work and everyone enjoyed it! read more

Ale Mary's - Yummy Greek salad with tomato soup - Gastropubs Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

Awful. took an hr and a half to get food when it wasnt even busy. Staff is totally incompetent. Forgetting to bring drinks for 30mins and then not getting your food for another hr is awful. We counted 3 other tables around us complaining about the wait too. Its a shame but they need to hire wait AND cook staff who can actually do their job, and when confronted about the issues, the servers just play the blame game and act confused...hipsters read more

A bit pricey as most of the bars in downtown are, it's a great place to get a drink and some great quality bar food. The beer can chicken noodle soup is incredible, as are their everything pretzels. It looks like on Wednesdays Ale Mary's works with Paint Nite which is why I was there last. Cheap martinis and some paint, sounds great, doesn't it? read more

Great and very filling food! Amazing and nice staff! Would love to comeback again! Definitely recommend anyone wanting a great place to eat!

Extremely good food. Deliveries are always on time. Food is consistently great- always predictably delicious. No regrets!

I love Ale Mary's! This place is one of my first choices for a get together with friends, a night out with my husband, or a lunch with my Mom. I appreciate the time taken to make the menu unique and the seasonal drinks fun. (My favorite recently was being able to get an apple cider mimosa with my dinner! Usually that is more of a brunch item.) I do not eat meat and I NEVER feel "out of place" here. The tomato bisque soup is my favorite soup around, the house fries have a perfect flavoring with rosemary, and the cauliflower tacos are TO DIE FOR! I cannot wait to try different sauces on the tacos besides the buffalo. The waiters and waitresses are always nice, accommodating, and take special care. I enjoy coming here so much! read more

If this place doesn't succeed, it is a sin! John took great care of us. Excellent beer, good service, and great food! read more

Ale Mary's - Beef Tenderloin Cheesesteak sliders are so amazingly delicious! Be warned that the portion is huge! Appetizers are ill advised. - Gastropubs Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

I hate the overhyped beer scene as of recent but this place truly had a great selection that seemed well thought-out. I only get to drink beer on very special occasions so I got a flight and discovered a new favorite beer in the Flanders Red Ale. Thanks, Ale Mary's! I ate a salad that was pretty boring but it's my fault for ordering a salad at a gastropub. My friend ordered a fried chicken sandwich on some sort of waffle bread and said it was amazing, so I will trust her on that! read more

This place is wonderful !!! The food and service was spectacular . The wings were fried to perfection , French onion soup was on point . The beer menu had an exceptional variety of brews from around the world . If you are ever in the Scranton area please give them a try , you won't be disappointed . read more

I had to try the duck cheesesteak sliders with aged Gouda, & Fire roasted onions and peppers. It was so succulent and flavourful. It went really well with the fries seasoned with rosemary, thyme, and sea salt. Only reason this place loses points is, when you ask your server "what stouts do you have on tap", you shouldn't get a blank stare and a "let me get you a list". read more

Ale Mary's - I had to hit up the duck cheesesteak sliders with aged Gouda & fire roasted onions and peppers with sriracha aioli. - Gastropubs Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

Great place to hang out with friends or to watch a game. The food is really good especially the dumpster fries which change daily. Food and drinks are decently priced and there is lots of seating. The inside is very spacious and they have a side room for parties or other events. The staff is really nice and mostly knowledgeable about the different beers they sell. They have a Facebook page which they update often but I do wish they would update it every day with their specials and dumpster fries of the day to check it out before getting there. Also, sometimes the service is a little slow. They don't have a large selections of salads, and as a person with dietary restrictions, that's an important part of a menu I always check first. I also wish they had brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. But overall, it's a fun place to hang out. read more

The staff was very friendly as they took time with us and answered all of our questions. The menu was full of wonderful choices. We had the pierogi flat bread which was very lite and satisfying, The pork sliders were larger than many sliders I have had elsewhere and there were three of them and they were delicious. The decor was rustic and I would definitely visit again! read more

Great atmosphere, drinks well mixed, food combo s interesting, service outstanding! Great job by Chris!

Excellent house salad and fries. Used to be my favorite place for cauli wings but they recently switched to new recipe.

Outstanding service and very friendly. Even though it's a pub/bar, our 8 year old and one year old enjoyed their Mac n cheese and writing all over the paper table. The wings (jerk and mango habanero) were delicious. Just enough spice. The fried bacon with siracha aioli is a must try!! read more

Ale Mary's - Panko bacon...mmmm mmm mmmm - Gastropubs Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

See all

Enjoyed one of the best burgers I've ever had anywhere. The stacker consisted of two perfectly done patties topped with pulled pork. Melded together with onion straws created just the right mixture of flavors. The fries were just the right amount of crispy. Hope this delicious burger is added to the menu and called the Eddie burger. Our very capable server Colin was attentive to our every need. Looking forward to going back and having the same pleasant experience. Would highly recommend this gastro pub. read more

Great Burger and nice staff! We went early during Covid to avoid being turned away. Clean too!

Nice place to hung out with friends, nice ambient, the wings here are amazing, service not bad considering the culture in the town.

Great, friendly service. Their beer can chicken noodle soup is perfect during the winter. Quesadillas not bad either. Good after work joint to chill. When you visit your eye doctor at Northeastern Eye Institute (www.neivision.com) on Mifflin Avenue in Scranton for your lasik, eye glasses or eye exam, this is a fabulous place to stop by for a snack and drinks. read more

Ale Mary's - The bar at Ale Mary's :) - Gastropubs Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

Was in Scranton for work and went here based on reviews. Food was outstanding and Rob, our server / bartender was great and made excellent suggestions on menu choices. The chef puts a spin on each dish. I had the short rib chili and buffalo chicken flatbread. Both were parties in my mouth. If you are in Scranton (not really a destination) and you like craft beer and/or gastropub type food. This place is a must. read more

Poor customer service over the phone. Made a delivery order. Couldn't hear the woman on the phone and she cut me off and just hung up. She was so short and rude to me. Never giving this restaurant business again. I've never had a problem attending in person but, due to her being so rude over the phone; I will not go again. read more

Friendly service....awesome cosmopolitan and warm soft pretzels....here with my daughter and dad....3 generations give it a thumbs up!

Loved this place! Food was great. Able to accommodate our group of 6 really quickly. Food was awesome, the Trashcan (or dumpster?) fries were delicious with cheese, chili, more cheese, crisscross fries and pretzels. Yum! I ended up sharing food with three other people and it there was nothing I didn't like. Service getting drinks etc was a little slow, but the place was pretty busy and really the atmosphere was fun - I didn't feel like I was twiddling my thumbs. I'll be in Scranton for business for a year and will most certainly be back to this joint! read more

One of my favorite places to go in Scranton! This visit I went just for drinks and had some amazing martinis. The bartender was very helpful with suggestions on the menu as well as offering suggestions of drinks he could make off the menu. I have eaten at Ale Mary's many times and always enjoy my meal. The service can be slow sometimes but the servers are always nice. Great place to go out with friends. read more

Ale Mary's - The mint chocolate chip martini was amazing! - Gastropubs Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

I've heard mixed reviews about Ale Mary's however, I recently met some colleagues for an after hours strategy session and was surprised by the establishment. The food is quirky in a good way (I'm not super adventurous with food but what is that magical goodness they put on the BBQ Nachos??). The adult drink selection is impressive, and the atmosphere is big city - literally you feel like you're in Philadelphia (except without the crowds and inflated prices). I'll be back hopefully very soon! read more

Wow. I agree with the review from 10 days earlier. Hang at the bar and get service. Ask for a table, and get NOTHING. Not only were we never greeted or welcomed, but we were dismissively seated and left alone for about 20 minutes. During which period of time no food server ever approached any tables/diners in our vicinity. Left alone, ignored, and not even sure who we could ask for help, we just stood up and left. As our party of five hungry diners exited, not one single employee even looked in our direction. Buhbye. read more

Bar atmosphere and food commercial..I have an MSG allergy and many items seemed to be packaged and not made by a chef..lacked wholesome choices for me read more

Im giving this place 4 stars cuz the service was really slow.....and everytime im here its realllly slow. But their food is amazing. If your sick of the same ol Scranton food, this is the place to go for diffrent food. Soft prezels are so good. The mustard sauce is even better than the cheese they give you, and i love cheese. Bbq flatbread is awsome. Short rib french dip phenomenal! Sweet potato fries with the marshmellow dipping sauce, oh! They have hot dogs my friends have gotten that said they are really good also. The wings are good too. I cant rememebr what sauce i got, but they were good. And i only eat GOOD wings! Which in Scranton, theres not a lot of places for good wings. Def try this place, you wont regret it. Just order 2 drinks at a time or youll be waiting forever for your next one. read more

Finally got to check this awesome bar out Friday afternoon with my favorite guy :) Rob was behind the bar and you can't ask for a better bartender... friendly, helpful & genuine. Beer selection awesome. Super clean place including restrooms. We just ordered wings tried the fiery parm. Big crispy wings fresh and flavourful. We are purists who order hot so these were not really for us but I can see why others would choose them. Only negative... not enough carrots & celery & they served baby carrots. As a picky good cook myself I feel the flavor is lost on those little guys I prefer a sliced fresh carrot but I'm tough to please:) I'll be back again and again:) read more

We avsolutely love Ale Mary's! The service has always been excellent, warm and fun atmosphere, the menu is different while also incorporating classics, and their beer list is great! I'm a liquor fan, and can say the vodka redbulls and titos and tonic are top-notch. Grest value for the price. read more

Scranton doesn't offer much flavor, but Ale Mary's does! Always a great place to eat and hangout! read more

Great food. Great drinks. Usually pretty quick service (can lag a bit if the place is packed). Really enjoy going!

My job came here as a big group and the waiter would not split the check and we were still charged for 20% gratuity! Not cool. Decent place to get bar food and beer..Not so much for group outings. read more

Came to Ale Mary's because it was billed as a Sports Bar on Yelp. I wasn't disappointed when I walked in to find plenty of big screen Tv's airing the NL Wild Card pre-game show. Was presented with a drink menu and later a food menu. So far, very impressed with the place. Beer options look very good, solid variety across styles and brands. Food menu looks amazing! After inquiring about something called PB&J wings, I am told they're the most popular and a signature dish at Ale Mary's. I'm an adventurous eater and decided to give them a shot. Saying that the PB&J wings are interesting is an understatement. They're complex, indulgent, and different. Think chicken satay with a raspberry sauce. No ranch or bleu cheese needed to cool down any spice so they're served with melted marshmallow fluff. These are definitely meant for sharing because after 3 of them, I felt like I'd eaten a feast and I'm a big eater. I'd like to come back and try other menu items since so many things sound amazing. Now, again, I came here because I was looking for a Sports Bar to watch the NL Wild Card playoff. The game is about to start and I notice that the sound is fairly low. I'd watched the AL Wild Card playoff the night before at a different spot and left because they wouldn't turn on the sound. I was hoping this spot wouldn't do the same. Instead of silence, they begin blaring Despocito. Now, I get that not everyone is a baseball fan but this is a Sports Bar, air the game with sound. Maybe this is just a Scranton thing? To watch games in silence or with music? The music continued to get louder, jumping around to country and so on. I asked if they could kill the music to which the response was to turn it up even louder. So you have blaring music, people yelling because they can't hear each other talking, and a great game unfolding that is difficult to watch because the noise element is hurting my skull. I eventually left because the noise had given me a raging headache and my ears were ringing so loud it felt as if I'd just left a concert. I returned to my hotel room and finished watching the game there. My only advice to Ale Mary's would be that if you're going to label yourself as a Sports Bar, then behave like one. read more

Drink beer? STAY, but stay at the bar, your better off that way. The wait staff hangs at the bar. Your certain to get attention there. End up at a table like we did and your forgotten. Is your food good? Everything What you expected? Can I refill that drink for you? Do you need a fork and knife? All questions you expect from an attentive waiter, somewhere else maybe. Not here. Menu was interesting but service forgetful. Go somewhere else! read more

Our favorite bar. Delicious and unique food offerings, fantastic beer selection at reasonable pricing, and usually great customer service. My favorites are the duck cheesesteak and the short rib French dip, but their changing specials are usually great. read more

Had a blast last night. Food was outstanding. We got the pulled pork nacho which is enough to to feed 4; A basket of the old bay fries and cheese and the wedge salad. Nachos were loaded with flavor and tasteful ingredients. Crab fries covered in old bay and served with nacho cheese were delicious. the wedge salad was awesome. our server was a delight. she was very knowledgeable and made great recommendations. the bar had some awesome drinks. my wife enjoyed a white gummy bear while I had some local summer ale. read more
