Mac and Cheese, Flatbread
Shealyn M.

This place was super cool. It is all spooky themed. It is very dark in there but thats part of the experience! Had lots of fun cocktails mine was bubbling (unfortunately not pictured) and the food was great! So fun, will be back.

Macabre and Cheese. Mac and cheese served in a skull

This gothic bar is all about the gothic, located at the Ritz Theater in Scranton. The atmosphere is super moody and exactly what the customers were looking for seeking a dark night out. I loved the design and the look of the place. It really gets you into a dreary mood in a good way. Despite having a small menu, it feels like there's a wide variety of options. It caters to all diets, and it's the first time I've ever had Mac, or should I say, Macabre and cheese, in a skull. There are a lot of drink options too, and it's the first place I can say that I got a tarot card when I ordered the namesake drink, The Tarot. My friends and I thought this place was great, and we're all looking forward to coming back. It's a small bar, so I recommend making reservations if you're planning to go. The look of the place might not be for everyone, but if you're feeling different and looking for a horror-themed bar, give this place a try. My friends and I are planning to come back here again soon!

Quite an interesting and amazing experience if you're looking for a night out in a unique restaurant with a different vibe. There are a lot of photos of Noir already on Yelp so there's not really much to say that hasn't been; red bar back color, no TVs inside besides for one near the bar playing serial killer documentaries, and all kinds of horror and goth elements on the walls, floors, ceilings, and utensils. Loud music plays as well; some metal, but some other stuff too. Pretty cool overall. Three of us sat at the bar and the two bartenders were very friendly, polite, warm, and welcoming. The hostess as well was very nice and happy to walk us off to our seats. Food and drink ticket times were not long at all; maybe five minutes for drinks and 20 minutes for food. But, even if service was slower it wouldn't have bothered us because we know these drinks are boutique and take time to make. My friends ordered Skin of a Killer, Blood Bag, and something else. I sampled the two named drinks and they were terrific. The whole IV drink gimmick was so funny, too funny to pass up. We ordered the Phlebotomist Injections, Crimson Cesar salad, steak flat bread, and Seoul Reaper. All of the food except for Seoul Reaper came on casket plates basically. The Seoul Reaper was served in a shadow box church; pretty wild. All of the food was top notch; friends loved the tomato soup and baked bread combination. The cesar salad was tasty; a nice strong cheese accompanied the home made dressing. The steak flatbread also had a nice zingy flavor due to strong pecorino taste and peppery bite from arugula. My Seoul Reaper was juicy, tender, came with home made kimchi and Korean BBQ sauce. Amazing sandwich and it was paired with even more amazing fries. Yes these fries are frozen but the chef puts a really strong or special seasoning on them. I ordered an additional bowl of fries they were that good. Price point is high but that's because this is a niche restaurant where it takes time dressing up the food and drinks. I'd definitely return even if I just go for take out. Really love this place.

Amazing theme and great selection of cocktail drinks. I made a reservation ahead of time and they allowed me to increase the number of people the day of. However, they wouldn't allow us to push the reservation back, which I understand, but we wound up waiting 15 minutes for the table. Drinks came promptly and with amazing presentation. The food items are also cleverly named. I would like to go back and try some of their food. The cocktails were around $10-$15 which isn't too expensive.

Amazing vibe - great cocktail selection, some nice cheap wine. Definitely give this place a try

If you like this dark, sexy kind of vibe - this is your spot. I absolutely loved hanging out here and grabbing a drink. A here on the weekends there is a speakeasy in the back but you didn't hear it from me. So much fun

I can't believe I found this GEM! It was amazing. From the ambiance to the service. They checked on us every single time we needed drinks! I am surprised how they stay in business only because TBH Scranton seems dead. But I can tell you the food and drinks are to really to die for! You can't even imagine how amazing it is coming from NY to find this place in PA!

I really am disappointed that I'm even writing this review because I wanted to love this place.. I saw the many wonderful marketing videos on TikTok and knew I need to try this place. I managed to get my sister to plan an entire girls weekend to Scranton just for the sole purpose of trying this restaurant. We made reservations over 3 weeks in advance and ubered our way into the city since it was the weekend of the St. Patrick's Day parade. It was pouring down raining and our uber driver left us off in the wrong area. When we arrived, soaked through my shoes and entire outfit, eyeliner running, we were greeted at the entrance. "Do you have Reservations?" Yes, we are about 10 mins late due to the storm and our uber driver, sorry about that. "Well, good thing you got here now, I was just about to give your table away." That personally started my meal off in the wrong direction. Seated at the smallest table possibly in existence, we literally only had room for the menus and our drinks. (once the food arrived they had to go on the floor) Our waitress was very pleasant and took our drink & app order (Drinks were 10 out of 10) app was good but barely fit on table. We both ordered Caesar Salad's and the dough injections as our meal. 1 hr later from placing our order we still hadn't received our salads. Our waitress asked us what our order was again because they lost the ticket. Mind you, there were a max of 12 tables in the entire establishment. 45 minutes later our salads arrive on what appear to be slate slabs to which my dressing was pouring over the side. We finished our salads and still not dough injections...They arrived about 10 mins later. Overall, the aesthetic was on point, service and food were not. Certainly not worth a 4 hr drive.

If you're looking for a bit of a dark & cozy cocktail environment, I recommend you check out Noir Dark Spirits. Cocktails are fun, environment is "dark", and the crowd is hip.

Noir Dark Spirits is a unique venue with a dark ambiance but worth a visit. I'd suggest either making a reservation or calling ahead to inquire about availability since it isn't the most spacious. The drink menu is very creative and we enjoyed the selections we ordered. Tragically, Yelp does not accept video clips, but I've posted a few pictures to this review. The food menu is tapas style and offered maybe six or so items at the time we visited. This were even fewer items than they had listed on their website. Our server indicated that they have been refining it so there are not many offerings. To that end, there were very limited vegan/vegetarian options, but we made do with a seitan flatbread of sorts and a cheese board. Both were creatively presented and tasty. Overall, it's a cool venue and worth a visit. The drinks were fun and strong and the food was good, but they could definitely use some more choices.

Not only is the ambiance amazing- so are the food and drink! Inventive and delicious menu, with so many Instagram worthy items. Drinks in IV bags, drinks that come with tarot cards, smoking and bubbling, delicious to boot! Many cocktails also available NA, so anyone can join in the fun. We had the dough balls, ceasar salad, chicken sandwich, and mac and cheese - all of which left us saying "that dinner was so good!" For hours after. Also some really fun food presentations - lots of wow! Booths are cool, back bar from an old church fits the space well, and the dinner "entertainment" piques the interest, can't wait to go back!

Is this only a bar, or also a restaurant? Are are teens allowed?

I'd say it's mainly a bar but also has tables and serves food so it's a restaurant as well. They are known for the gothic setting and surroundings and the interesting drinks. Probably better for an adult night out or to bring older teens. It's very…

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would…read more First, I was a first time visitor after a remodel, I had no idea, but this location has been here for years, I thought it was brand new. I think the bar and outdoor patio is beautiful and well decorated, I just wish it was bigger. It's also an added bonus they have a small parking lot across the street, you don't JUST have street parking. Next, the food. I will admit that this bar food is not cheap, it's priced higher, because the dishes are "elevated". However, I don't mind paying a higher price for higher QUALITY. Everything I've eaten from here is incredible, delicious, fresh, with great presentation. WE EAT WITH OUR EYES. You can tell that the chefs in the kitchen put love and creativity into these dishes. The standard menu options ARE standard, but like I said, the freshness and flavor is there. Where this place really shines, is it's specials. Be sure to check out their Facebook page and stay up to date on limited release dishes, they're bomb. Delicious cocktails as well. Finally, the service. Here is where I want to knock off a star, but I can't, because the food is too good to not keep me from coming back. But the staff can use additional customer service training. I haven't sat at the bar yet, so I don't know if that might be a different experience. But when I've sat at a table (you seat yourself when you walk in by the way, there is no hostess), my waitresses are always in such a rush, that they don't spend a second more at your table than they HAVE to. I've ALWAYS had to ask them about the specials that I've seen on Facebook, I'm never told them when they come over to ask for my order, I'm the one asking them if the specials are still available. That stinks. I should be greeted with them immediately when I'm given my menu. So, will I return? Without a doubt. If I lived closer, I would be there every night for dinner. Amazing food and atmosphere, please consider this your new date night spot!

We were driving by the neighborhood when we spotted this place. There was a game going on when we…read morewent and everyone was tuned in on the game and trying to sit closer to the screens. During the breaks that's when patrons start socializing and eating again. It was also a very family friendly place. We saw quite a few families eating with their kids outside on the patio with us.You can think of it as a real diner PLUS sports bar. We ordered: Drunken Clams (drowned in beer broth toasty bread) (I was expecting like a few very small clams, so we def more than expected ) and that beer broth was good. I might have drank it all. Ribeye Cheese Steak (shaved ribeye cooper beer cheese) We are in PA, had to get basically the Philly cheese steak Jalapeno Popper Burger Great vibes and food. Everyone was having a good time

First time hitting up a wing night at **1905 Tavern** and I'm just gonna say it... we may have…read morecreated a problem for ourselves because now we have to come back. We came ready to do some serious wing research and tried the **Mild, 1905 BBQ Glaze, Hot Garlic, and Hot Honey Chipotle** -- and not a bad choice in the bunch. Saucy, flavorful, delicious, and exactly what wings are supposed to be. And can we talk about the **blue cheese?!** Because THAT deserves its own honorable mention. But the real MVPs of the night were **Che Che and Felicia**! These girls were ON IT -- drinks kept flowing, blue cheese kept appearing, and we never had to wonder where our server went. Amazing service, great personalities, and they kept up with wing night like absolute pros. Great wings + cold drinks + fabulous service = **1905 Tavern understood the assignment.** Safe to say our first wing night here will definitely not be our last. **10/10 -- bring your appetite and get the extra blue cheese. You'll understand.**
