Great specials on the "big board" and there is always a game on, or some sort of live music. If you want the look and feel of an Irish pub in Scranton...this is the place to be!

So good!! Stopped by this past weekend with some friends and had a great time…read more The place was packed but the bartenders did a great job of serving everyone quickly and their table staff was ON IT. Sam was a huge help and so friendly. Even with the place being slammed, the food and drinks were perfect. The Lucy I'm Home drink was so refreshing and tasty. The price point on drinks are a bit high for the area, but worth it if you're only having a few.

I've never had the food, but I've been in a couple times on a weekend night for a drink…read more The place is always slammed with kids from the University of Scranton. It's a massive space with a large front room and back patio, but on a weekend the entire place feels packed. The bartenders are generally good for how many folks they are serving. I tend to avoid this place on the weekend to avoid the college crew, but overall a good spot to grab a drink.

Second order was just as bad. The mac & cheese was dry. There wasn't much cheese to go with the Mac.

Place was clean smelled good. Everything was in proper order.

The wings were beyond my expectations. Cooked just right. I got extra crispy mild and fries. My wife had a salad with grilled chicken. Cold beers. What a great night in a new(to me) local pub with great food, service and ambiance. Very, very clean.

Last time 5 stars, this time 2-3. What happened? Probably should avoid wing night (Tuesday) due to…read moreit being busy and pre-cooked wings. Unfortunately, our order tasted old, like maybe from the weekend. We ate 12 of the 15 wings. Sauce was light but the crisp was excellent. Last time the wings were perfect. A little bigger than I prefer (Kelly's are the perfect size for me), but not jumbo size. Sauce and crispiness on point. Still love this place, but we'll sample another of my old wing haunts the next few times we are in town before returning here. Too many good places to pass or just go to our favorite spot. Bartender is great and service always quick. Great little local bar with a good menu.

Gastro pub a bit of stretch. Food is fair to good student/ bar food. Service exceptional from the…read morebar. Lots of tv's on sports and a definite student feel to the place. Been there many times over the years and stayed pretty honest to itself. Located close to Mall on street that has several other up market choices a few blocks away. We went as we wanted a beer and wings which they did well with cheese fries. Has a game area and walk through to Jenny's which is great speakeasy which appears not to be open. This is great space.

We got the Korean dumplings which were very good with Asian zing sauce on them. We also got their nachos which were soggy towards the bottom but had good flavor with bbq sauce and pulled pork. Now they don't offer pulled pork sandwiches but have pull pork on the nachos. My fish and chips were soooooo salty! The tartar sauce was good and French fries. The breading was also soggy but the fish was very tender and nice. The chicken cheesesteaks were good, filling and yummy. The Ale Burger is a double smash burger with good flavor, and a good meal. The Buffalo Mac and cheese was spicy but enjoyable. The service wasssss slow and not very attentive. The manager had to come over and ask if we needed anything bc our server seemed to disappear. I believe it's new owners which explains the menus cut in half, but I hope they get things together bc this spot is super cool. Speak easy, cool hangout spot.

Burgers were recommended by other patrons at the bar. I tried the prosciutto ciabatta, not bad. I was annoyed by the " potato pancakes" I ordered. I'd like to point out that "potato pancakes" are NOT flat tater tots. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Plenty of parking.

I recently came here for dinner and was not impressed. I asked for a table outside since the…read moreweather was nice. Sat there for over 10 minutes and the waitress never came over. The hostess happened to come outside and at least got my drink order and an appetizer. I started with the cauliflower bites which were unfortunately standard frozen heavily breaded. I wanted to order something else and again no waitress came over to finally someone did. I ordered the balsamic glaze chicken salad which took way too long to come out. The chicken had a weird texture to it, but at least the lettuce was fresh. Overall, the service was not very good considering the place was not busy and the food was definitely just average. I would not come back here next time I'm in the area.

Bartender was funny and polite. I got the house chips and my husband got mozzarella sticks. Really exciting to see a place with cheap food (both together cost us 6 dollars!) that was actually delicious. I could have eaten two more plates of chips. The drinks were also well made and we got some Poor Richard's swag to bring home We ended up coming back at night we liked it so much and it was clearly a popular spot.

This place definitely has some personality to it. There's some games to play too but I think i'd prefer them to have more room instead. One arcade game takes up the space of 2+ potential customers. If people want to play games, they can just go to Bartari. P
