I appreciate a quality dive bar and Beer Bellies is no exception. I used to live in Hanover…read moreTownship but that was before I was of legal drinking age and could patronize such fine establishments. During a few recent sojourns to the San Souci I stopped by Beer Bellies and enjoyed myself immensely. Apart from a general air of unpretentiousness, rejecting the regality of more upscale martini or piano bars, any quality dive bar must also offer cheap drinks and good food: Beer Bellies met all these requirements. During both of my visits to Beer Bellies I was treated to the comedic stylings of James "The Wingman" Holeva. Billed as "the bad boy of comedy," Holeva's politically incorrect routine is reminiscent of Lenny Bruce or vintage Andrew Dice Clay. Beer Bellies earns high marks for their entertainment. After the comedian's set was over a DJ began playing dance hits and continued spinning until last call.

Straight out of the 1980's comes the New Penny. Located in the Providence section of Scranton, the…read moreNew Penny offers a wide variety of shady characters, pool sharks, dart leaguers and big hair. The place is laid out as one big room with a front door on Main St and a back door to an alley leading to a small private lot. New Penny makes me think of tight jeans, mullets, IROC Camaros, AC/DC, Bruce Springsteen, jackhammers and hard hats. Don't get me wrong, this is not all a bad thing. That's the New Penny. I've never felt unsafe there and wouldn't hesitate to go back. COLD COLD BEER. One big bonus is that they keep their beer at a temperature just above the freezing point. Delicious! CHEAP. You don't need a lot of money to enjoy yourself here.

After exiting my apartment I would turn left to experience the classiest neighborhood the city of Scranton has to offer - but if I wanted a bit of fun, I would turn right. It goes without saying that the Normandie was located on the right, deep within the Pinebrook section. The Normandie's drinks are inexpensive, the jukebox is loud, and shuffleboard and pool tables are always open. The crowd at this bar has a reputation for being rowdy and a bit rough around the edges, but you can't be considered a true Scrantonian until you get into a bar fight at the Normandie. A popular local saying is "Stormin' the Norm" - back when I lived in Scranton, that's what you'd find me doing on all my free weekends.

This part of Pennsylvania is seriously spoiled by the amount of quality and different wings up and down the valley. Everyone has their favorite spot, and this is definitely in my top 3 now, maybe even #2. On this night (6/13/25) service was excellent partly due to not many other patrons in the bar. Great for us, and even the cook came out to talk about wings and their great sauces. I got my dozen wings mild along with sides of coyote and their famous Acme sauce. All excellent! And the wings were amazingly crispy from the first wing all the way through the 12th. Perfect amount of sauce and crispiness all at once! This bar definitely has a dive feel to it, but the staff and patrons were all very welcoming to we out of towner's. We will be back! Limited hours is my only "complaint." Highly recommend trying this place if nearby when they're open.
