Bar tender said they were known for their wings. Well ordered boneless wings and was surprised to see possible two tv dinner tray nuggets to make my meal. No sauce on them at all. I agree with review before me, wish I could give a zero rating. read more

So I ordered the cheesesteak and chips for $15 on Uber eats. The chips were stale and the cheesesteak was quite small maybe eight or so inches and not a whole lot of meat or cheese. I should've just gone out myself and picked one up because it was very disappointing and small For the price. read more

Nice place to hang out on a weekend night. Good food, great bartenders! Would be better if there were more craft beer choices.

Great tasting food Reasonable prices Great friendly staff Parking is pretty good too What can I say, you'll have to try it for yourselves n see read more

I really enjoyed this place during my trip to Hazelton this past weekend. The atmosphere is kind of rusticky and old school which was really cool. The service was nice and friendly as well. For appetizers my group had fried green beans and mozzarella sticks. They were both cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. The wasabi ranch went great with the fried green beans too. For meals we all got different types of wings, which is kind of what they are known for. You can get their wings breaded or regular. Also, you have to ask them to toss them in the flavor you want, otherwise it comes on the side which is not how I like mine. The flavors we all had were the buffalo ranch and Cajun dry rub. The wings themselves were cooked just how I like them, crispy but not overdone. The Cajun dry rub was ok, but I'm not a big fan of dry rubs usually. My wife thought they were very good though. The buffalo ranch wings had a great flavor and were my favorite food of the night. I wish they had better ranch to go with the wings, but that is my only complaint about this place. Not sure if I will ever be back in this town, but if so I will definitely come back here. read more

Good food, friendly service good atmosphere. Would recommend. Specials on certain nights.

I now live out of the area, but every time we come back to visit family we are sure to stop by for wings, beer and a great time! We stopped in last night and had Donya as our server. There was five of us and I was very impressed she didn't write down any of our order, which by the way wasn't super easy. I thought for sure our order was going to be wrong, but no way! It was all perfect. I had a few special requests to make the salad vegan friendly and to assure everything was okay (no dairy, eggs) in anything. She was great at finding out any answers she didn't know off hand. My salad was a great big size and was filled with veggies and it was really filling and delicious! I wasn't super crazy about the balsamic, it seemed a little on the watery side. Two people at the table had wings and they were served crispy like always and nice and hot! We had a couple order of fries for the table and they were also served hot and well seasoned. My mom had the chicken soup, which she loved! They had a band playing which is awesome, but they were entirely too loud, we couldn't even hold a conversation. Which would be fine for some people, but not what we were really looking for. We look forward to stopping back next time in town! read more

Ugh. Well well well... No more crab meet hamboygs no more. Butt still crab fries. Whag cents that make. U tell me. Uhh And bad neighborhood. Wish I lived Conneticitt read more

The food here isn't that bad, it's pretty good for its size and the town it is in. I enjoyed there wings and steak. The service is mediocre, but it is nothing that stands out, but the staff is nice. I had a decent time here. Good place to grab a beer an watch a baseball or football game. It's pretty cheap to. read more

We were looking for a place to stop after the Fall Foliage Festival at Jim Thorpe. We saw this listed here on Yelp and were excited to try it. We opted for the "famous" wings, along with the most delicious burger. My friend got the "fire" wings and I got mild. They were cooked to absolute perfection... crispy on the outside and dripping with juice on the inside. My burger was amazing..probably the best I've ever had. Again, cooked to perfection, flavorful and delicious. Our servers were friendly. The food was served promptly. The atmosphere was relaxing. I totally recommend it! read more

The Sunday special (5 wings and fries for 5.99) is my favorite end to the week! Absolutely filling and "just" sinful enough. The smoke free environment and the owner's attention to detail makes this my go-to wing spot! read more

This is a great place to eat! I love their big, fat, juicy wings, but the fish tacos are the bomb! The best I've ever eaten. I rarely give a 5 star rating, but the food is always delicious! Highly recommend. read more

Don't order door dash here, they cancel your order 15 minutes before it's supposed to be delivered. What a joke.

In the city of Hazleton, you will find a lack of many things. Industry, thriving downtown, latinos (check out Lou Barletta on the internet for why) But one thing you can count on when visiting cities that have lost their luster is bars. Bottlenecks is a good spot, just off the main drag (Broad St), where everyone there is a regular, except for the consultants from out of town who are just looking for some suds. Nonetheless, I didn't hear a needle skip when I walked in, so it was fine by me. The place was mostly unremarkable, asides from the quesadilla that Frank mentioned. Steak and pulled pork in one cheese filled crispy shell really is a delightful thing. While I'm not sure when I'll be back here, I can encourage you to eat and drink here when in town. read more

Good food at a reasonable price. I wish I can give it 3.5 stars. It was a pretty good surprise to find a decent place without any looking. I went here for dinner on Sunday 19-July on a last minute get together. Its a corner bar at a fairy busy intersection in Hazleton so getting there is pretty easy and recognizable. The interior reminded me of the old bars I used to go to when I grew up in Wilkes-Barre PA, but it was very clean and modern. Its almost like the faux-vintage style of Abercrombie. A classic but inviting atmosphere. There is also a full length shuffle board in the backroom. I havent seen one of those in ages because no one has the room and they're expensive! The beer menu was decent for an out of the way place. They had about 30 bottles and 10 drafts of above average beers, but nothing rare or unique such as Avery-The Beast! The food was surprisingly good. The wings were enormous and incredibly crunchy. When I bit into them, it was almost like a sound effect from a movie. The sauce was ok but it was on the side (aka, the wings were dry). The coating was delicious though and I ate them regardless. The club quesadilla had pulled pork and steak in it that had just the right amount of seasoning. It wasn't very greasy either. The chicken ceasar salad was good but its hard to ruin something so simple. Overall, I had a good experience here. I didn't find anything to be terrible or repulsive but nothing was stimulating or novel. I would go back in a second! read more

Stopped here last winter and really enjoyed the wings so we returned! What a different experience we had today... we both ordered wings, my order was 5 naked style sweet chili with a side of blue cheese. Boyfriend asked for 5 breaded style sweet heat with a side of blue cheese and ranch. When they came out he got ten wings and just a side of blue cheese, no ranch... my sweet chili... they were the same exact sauce that were on my boyfriends... I gave the 2 stars for the simple fact that my wings were cooked well. Bartender was more interested in being on the laptop that was on top the bar. Was also very hot inside... uncomfortable. Menu in general was different from the last time we were there... a big let down from last time! We were excited to return, but will not be back... read more

Bottlenecks Saloon & Eatery - 78 degrees inside bar... very uncomfortable! - Sports Bars Near Me - West Hazleton, Pennsylvania

Establishment is right on the corner of two streets - so parking shouldn't be an issue. If you go after the bank closes - you can also use the nearby banking parking lot as well. This is your typical bar/resturant place - nothing much different. You have a large bar, a larger area for table seating, a few TV's here and there, typical bar type decor, and I believe a pool table, dart board and perhaps a shuffle board too! There is a decent selection of draft and bottled beer - obviously a full bar and their menu has enough variety that anyone should find something they'd like - but it is typical bar food! However, today was wing night and though they don't toss the wings in the sauce - they provide plenty for dipping. This isn't typically the way I like my wings, but at least they were chicken wings and not some pigeon wings I've had at many other place. They were crispy on the outside and plenty juicy on the inside. I also enjoyed the french onion soup - glad you can still get this great soup out because making it at home stinks up the whole house - and this soup was pretty darn good! The overall cleanliness, including bathrooms was good. Not excellent, but again - this is a bar and was pretty clean for a bar - only one noticeably sticky spot on the floor. Though there was someone in the bar with a small child - this wouldn't be a place I'd bring kids - it's a place for you to go, kick back and relax while chatting with friends, grabbing a cold one - or like me - chowing down some wings - not a place for a baby or child - let's reserve the place for perhaps teens and up or better yet - 21 and over! read more

The reason we frequent Bottlenecks are 2: Every other Friday night Dom and Mr Sax play during Happy Hour. That is by far the best part of my week. If you want to start your weekend on a great note (pun intended), this is the place to be! The 2nd reason is their wings. Some of the best in the area. The wings are meaty and perfectly fried. The sauce comes on the side, which I prefer. Many great sauce options to choose from. Also, they have $5 happy hour specials. They have really good burgers and I like the cheese steak wrap. Prices are reasonable and the portions are fair. Drink prices are in line with other bars in the area. So if you're stopping in for a bite to eat, you can't go wrong with the wings. If you want some great entertainment, stop in on a Friday night when Dom and Mr Sax are playing! read more

I've been here for many Friday Happy Hours. The bar is clean with a very nice wood finish throughout. Staff is super friendly, drinks and food are served as quickly as possible. Their known for their HUGE, extra crispy wings with a nice variety of sauces, always served on the side. The rest of the menu is what you would typically find on a bar menu. A popular spot for the friendly locals, the only challenge might encounter coming here is finding a parking spot. read more

Our go to Sunday Funday!! Great food great service!!! Never go wrong with wIngs - best in town!! read more

Disappointed. Most of the menu is fried foods. A Friday during Lent and they had no dinner specials. I opted for the mushroom onion garlic strip streak (without the onion). Steak was about 25% fat and gristle, overcooked (ordered medium rare, but was more like medium well), under seasoned (no garlic flavor whatsoever) and had some unseasoned, not sauteed canned mushrooms dumped on top. The steamed broccoli seemed like it came from the freezer and had no flavor. The shoestring fries were ok and salad was ok. Beer list was pretty boring. Maybe go here for wings, but that's about it. read more

My boyfriend and I stoped by this place for some food and it was so freaking good!! We purchased a cheesesteak (which could be a bit bigger) with 10 ct buffalo ranch wings and those wings were the best wings I've ever had!! So big and juicy LOL anyways in the buffalo ranch sauce i dipped my cheesesteak and all i need to say is that YALL NEED TO TRY IT !!! read more

I eat there often food is very good ,great and polite employees also it isn't expensive..love this place

Nice environment, limited menu and average food.. Nothing spectacular. Place is known for their wings. Big plus is its non smoking. read more

This is a terrific place to watch football. The crowd is fun and always friendly. There are multiple TVs, so even if you want to watch something other than the main game, you are able. The food is really good, and the servers are super friendly and quick. My husband and I had the crab pretzel, nachos, and wings. They have unbreaded wings which is wonderful. We have not been here in a long time, and now we are saying we will definitely be back. read more

Moved back to area after almost a decade gone and looked for great Wings in Hazleton. Everyone told me about Bottlenecks...Well I finally tried them and I must say they are way over-hyped. Their Wings were way under-cooked, and has no crisp texture at all. Maybe it's their style or the cook who worked that Friday night was off. I ate a few and fed the rest to my dogs. I can say I am disappointed at least. Unless I find a better place I rather Two Guys or Vesuvios for my Wings. At least their Wings are cooked to a crispy taste, like Wings are meant to be. Sorry Bottlenecks maybe your loyal patrons love your Wings but this person is disappointed at a place where people rave about.. read more

We came here on a recommendation that turned to b 2 years old and definitely not accurate anymore! 1 bite of the crab stuffed steak turned my stomach. The appetizer, cowboy fries was half decent but wouldn't brag on it as the pulled pork on it was dry and flavorless which pretty much left us with a $9 plate of fries. The shrimp topped steak that was ordered was too tough to chew and the shrimp was dirty tasting. The onion rings were the exact same as what u get at any grocery stores frozen foods section ( can u say Aldi's version of ore-Ida. The green bean fries nasty, the garlic mashed tasted like dirty water instant. The crispy chicken pram was sitting in water and had store bought preformed chicken patties on it cut like fries and way over fried. Honestly, even the Pepsi was bad. Never again! read more

Great food, good service, reasonable drink prices, and an awesome atmosphere. Best wings I've ever had!

I also wish I could give it 3, but the kitchen is so slow it's absurd. An hour for two orders of chicken wings (big, crispy and juicy -make sure to order it tossed- with good choice of sauces) and a salad. Come on! I don't tend to give bad reviews for tardy service because you never know if it was just a bad day, but there are plenty of reviews to indicate this is normal. Service was friendly, although it you're going to delay an order, at least give us updates, a free beverage or peanuts. read more

Great food, excellent wings! Great spot for lunch and dinner. Night crowd gets a bit different.

I was here for the first time in a long time. I had naked (non breaded) wings with honey/Old Bay sauce. They were delicious, and very meaty.

I went in here on "steak night" and it was a disappointment to say the least. I ordered the garlic mushroom New York strip with broccoli and green beans. The green beans where deep fried which there was no mention of that on menu. The steak came out medium well if not well done. I ordered it rare as they would cook it as I typically eat a steak blue. Once I cut it open and saw the state of the thing in an almost beef jerky status, I asked the bartender to send it back for another. In about 2 min the cook came out in a very argumentative tone and wanted to argue the fact that he cooks a steak to 110f and I need to google steak temperature to know what I'm talking about. The steak was at least an inch thick so there shouldn't have been an issue getting it on point. I was kind of blown away by his hostile attitude and almost had to laugh at the situation. I have eaten at many high end steak restaurants and understand this is not one and wasn't expecting it to be on that level, A little red in the middle with some blood would be nice please. I would recommend a steak at ihop before this place. So liquid diet tonight it is. read more

My girlfriend and I were just there to dine in at approximately 7:30pm on 07/25/20 and had a horrendous experience with receiving terrible beverages and then being disrespected by our waitress from behind the bar. We have never had a terrible experience there before and I am not one to write reviews unless I feel it's absolutely necessary. My girlfriend ordered a Long Island iced tea and I ordered a bottle of Michelob Ultra. Upon receiving our beverages my girlfriends Long Island iced tea tasted like beer mixed with iced tea and my Michelob Ultra was room temperature. I then patiently waited for our waitress who did not introduce herself to us and was running around like a Tasmanian devil to with practically an empty bar to return to our table to inform her about our beverages. Once she came back to our table I politely informed her my beer was room temperature and she looked at me like I was an alien and instead of apologizing she asked "well can I get you something else?" I then decided I would try a Coors Light. Before I could proceed to tell her about my girlfriends beverage she ran back to the bar to get me a Coors Light. Once she came back with that I then politely informed her that my girlfriends Long Island iced tea tasted like beer. The waitress then decided to have a debate about how she personally made it and there was no way it tasted like beer. She then asked my girlfriend if she wanted to try something else in which my girlfriend just wanted an iced tea. She then stormed back to the bar to get it and began trash talking us to her colleagues behind the bar stating that "we were being so disrespectful and she should not be waiting on people because she's not a fucking people person." My girlfriend and I just looked at each other and decided to leave since we were being so terribly disrespected. As we were getting up to leave she then stormed back to the table with a bottle of iced tea and a large glass of ice and said "here a bottle of iced tea." I then told her we were just going to leave and I told her we would not be returning as she replied "Good." As being a server myself for 4 years that's not how you treat customers at all and this waitress/bar tender is only going to hurt this business. My girlfriend and I have decided that we would not be returning due to this horrible experience. read more

Fantastic place! I remember this place prior to what it is now. Wow! There is not one NAD thing I can say about the place. Food is amazing, prices great service fantastic!! Ambiance was great! A friend and I stopped in for dinner. The wait was maybe three minutes. The place was crowded, service was right on. Now my friend ordered a steak dinner and he eats like a horse and I have to mention this bc the portions were so great he barely was able to finish. This never happens when we eat out. The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I did some appetizers. The prices were great. All the food came out hot I had a salad for dinner and I can be very picky on what I want on my salad. The server got it right on! This was a home run I'm thrilled to see them in my hometown and thrilled to go back when I'm in Hazelton. read more

So..... Love the food when they have it. Third time I have been here on a Sunday and the ran out of wings. Next time is the last time I'll go to Pizza Hut and get wings. read more
