After a long day of being present and doing everything asked of me, it was time to just sit and…read morerelax for as much as I could. I came here after an event elsewhere and found it to be very laid back compared to where I was before. It wasn't at all crowded which was welcoming. The night I was there it was a karaoke night. Which put a bit of a interesting twist on the night. The DJ facilitating the karaoke was quite entertaining and the people attempting to do their best singer impersonation was, well, let's just say you will never catch me up on a stage. The bar was a bit of hit or miss. I asked for what I thought they had and was told to hold up a minute. They came back and told me they were out of it and awaiting a delivery. I went with a Level Up IPA that I ended up sipping on for a majority of the night. Let me get into the place a bit. It looks a bit odd when you first arrive. It appears that at one point the main entrance was facing the street. Evident by the door that is behind the bar. The entrance now is on the side where the parking lot is. It is a bit deceptive if you only look at it from the outside. Not having stepped foot in here prior to that night I did not know how far back the actual space goes. If you were not to venture far from the bar you would think that the bar was the only thing about this place. But this space is so much more vast than one would think. Off of the bar is a billiard room, and then there is some table seating. Only reason I know this is that the restrooms are down past there. It looks as if they purchased a restaurant business that was next door and connected them. Just so we are aware, I have no idea if there is truth in there, I am only saying this because when you go off the bar, you go down an incline. All in all, this was a great place to unwind after an extremely busy day. It was loud and then quiet, dark and light, fun and boring all at the same time. I am told that their food isn't all that bad and it appeared they had specials throughout the week. I know one day they are not open, but I cannot remember what day that is.

Friendly atmosphere here in Swoyersville and we hope to come back to try some more menu items at very fair prices. We saw people getting pizza, burgers, cheesesteaks, nachos, and fries and they all looked appetizing. See you again soon!

The bartender JEN was very nice & I could tell that she loved her job. Keats Pub is a very welcoming place. Customers from young to not so young were having a lot of fun. I returned a week later with my wife and she also said that it was s very comfortable place. The staff took so much pride caring for the patrons. The juicy chicken fingers with mild sauce & fries I had were cooked perfectly. This place has a friendly atmosphere that will make you want to come back for more Pizza, Cheese Steaks and so much more. Check out their menu & pictures on the Website ; KEATSPUB.COM They go the extra mile to get it right. Oh yea, the place is spotless. The bartender told me that the owners & staff clean the kitchen & bar continuously. I like this place.

The barmaid (forgot her name) was very friendly, comparing notes about our college careers and the fact that we were both psychology majors-her at Wilkes and mine at Kings but that being a long time ago. While I was there I struck up a conversation with a few younger guys sitting next to me at the bar while watching football and baseball on the TVs. Overall I had a great time as always and hope to get back there for sure the next time I am in Wilkes-Barre!

She was the only employee for both the bar and the dining room apparently (for the record, none of this experience is her fault. She was doing what she could with what she had). Then when we ordered orange juice for one of the kids is was so rotten it was practically carbonated. Of course it takes forever to get our food ordered and drinks replaced or refilled because there was one person serving twenty people. Finally when I wanted to pay for the meal I had a Groupon. This was the only reason we went there. I was told they do not accept them because they did not accept it after a dispute with Groupon. Spoke with Groupon and they said the contract was between the restaurant and another local vendor. Definitely unsatisfied. When I voiced my concern on Facebook too, management was not friendly.
