We had two meals from here two days in a row. Their selection of pizzas "flat bread" are all amazingly yummy. Don't miss this place.

Great location, incredible decor and very friendly and attentive staff. The food is good (PICKLE PIZZA a MUST) and enjoy high-end bar meals here. Long selection of brews, and cocktails to match. A must-stop in Scranton PA. read more

Only came here for drinks at the bar. The wine I ordered was of horrendous quality and could barely be finished, but the cocktails mixed by the bearded gentleman were absolutely delicious. Service was so-so. read more

The 16th Ward - Bars Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

This place gives any "big city" joint a run for its money. Amazing food, a well-curated rotating tap list, distinctive spirits, classic cocktails done well, all in a setting of hand crafted wood bar & paneling, and owners and staff as professional as they are friendly. And stay tuned... that hand-painted door sign to the left of the entrance isn't for a steampunk law firm. read more

An amazing beer list! We love the small intimate feel of the restaurant. The food is always good. You are able to get unique things here that you can't get other places. Love their specials. read more

The 16th Ward - Russian dumplings - Bars Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

First things first, the drinks here are BOMB. The beer list is fantastic (I believe it changes out often) and there really is something to drink for everyone. Let your server know about your palate and they'll make a fitting recommendation I'm sure. I'm here to write about their martinis though. So many great flavors and liquor combinations to choose from but my favorite has to be the strawberry one! The glasses they serve them in are so cute too. They also have very fun cocktail list- The Jesse Pinkman was our favorite, which was a fruity mezcal drink. The food menu is a tad different. Thin crust personal pizzas with unique ingredients take up about half the menu and the second half are plates & bowls that all seem a tad random but I'm sure they're chef specialties so we'll let it slide lol. There are a few bar favorites like soft pretzels with beer cheese and mustard and a charcuterie board, but there seems to be something missing on this menu for me for whatever reason (maybe some salads? a craft burger? a spicy chicken sandwich or something?) Regardless the vibe of this place is immaculate and such a fun place to come for a drink and split a fun pizza (try the Prosciutto & Arugula or the Hot Honey Chicken)! read more

Went here a couple months ago and my review never was posted. Disgusting pizza and the waitress offered two minors alcohol, not even carding us. Terrible place if you want to eat good food, maybe it would be better if you are drunk. The owner was nice enough to take the food off the bill though. Looked like she was on something or drunk tbh read more

I was there last night. The service was 5 stars. The cheese plate was delish. The crab cakes were 1 star. They were flat and made with diced potatoes and pulverized crab meat. NOT LUMP. Not a lump of crab meat to be found. My friend had the Thai chicken lettuce wraps and loved them. The Pinot Grigio was too sweet. The Rose was fine. The bourbon butter dessert was absolutely delicious. read more

Wonderful venue. Food is tasty. Drinks are interesting and well made. Service was perfect! I had a great time with my group.

Great atmosphere, great drinks n food and wait staff very friendly. Love this place. Don't look for a big meal here. They are small to share but food is awesome. read more

Great food. Great drinks. Great atmosphere. That just about sums it up. Our waiter (we think it was Dmitry-maybe the owner?) went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time. We had a reservation but had to wait a few extra minutes for our table as they were really busy. But when we got seated, we were instantly met with complimentary dumplings and later (after our dinner) complimentary crème brûlée. It was our first time here and our waiter was sure to explain everything to us along with some recommendations. It was truly a great experience and we will certainly be back. read more

First time writing a review just to say This place rocks. Food is fantastic and service was amazing- on top of things without being overbearing. Drinks are strong without being tasteless. Dessert was also great. Will be back and hope Scranton can take on more restaurants like this. read more

The 16th Ward - banana foster cheesecake - Bars Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

The owners of this restaurant bar have done everything they could to survive 2020 and I am so happy they have. Good food, fine beer and great cocktails have established 16th Ward as our favorite Scranton hangout. read more

Just tell them your palette. I have always enjoyed the food here. When I have brought people with dietary needs or picky palettes, they have always been helpful. They even made a gluten free breading for the fried goat cheese and made gluten free crackers on the spot from their pizza crust recipe. Bomb ass cocktails! Super strong:) I don't love beer but they have a good selection. The staff is extremely kind. read more

Open 18 months according to the owner. Amazing beer selection and well made cocktails. Food good with Korean Russian twist. Look out fit carol Korean sides on dishes. Meat balls ok. Russian dumplings small but with those carrots. Back to the beer Apparently huge choice changes regularly but the location on the blackboard defines the style. So a waste of time telling you about the black currant cider or the Noel beer. Frankly not ideal but only had five types. Mud come back to try twenty more and perhaps the pizza read more

Absolutely fantastic spot. Staff is friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about their draft selection. Personally had one staff member spend 5 minutes discussing several beer options, providing multiple samples until ultimately drilling down to what my tastes wanted. Also witnessed another staff member spending equal amount of time helping another guest with their beer selection. Great variety of drafts from a lot of small breweries. Hands off, unpressured dining that doesn't have staff hovering over you trying to get you to vacate your table. Great spot for a leisurely dinner. Lengthy kitchen special list. Only downside is the dinner entree menu is thin, but they make up for it by each item on the menu being absolutely fantastic. Also their selection of flatbread pizzas is large however. read more

Every restaurant or bar I go to, I get an old fashioned. That's how I know if I really want to go back or not. The 16th Ward has the best one I've ever had. Homemade or bar made, they make the best old fashioned I've ever had. Their flatbreads are tremendous too! (As is the rest of their food too). Great beer list as well...a lot of beers I've never even heard of...and I enjoy beer! read more

My friends and I used to love coming to this place, until yesterday when the waiter decided it was ok to be disrespectful and condescending after we were served one round of drinks. He made an assumption based upon my group of friends that was completely unwarranted. He referred to us as "sweetheart," repeatedly talked down to us, and when he was confronted respectfully once again we were completely dismissed as he shoved his hands in front of my friends' faces and said "goodnight ladies this conversation is over" and walked away. All I can say is we won't be coming back here. Complete disappointment considering this was one of our favorite places to go each weekend. I'm disgusted. read more

Went last night for dinner and was pleasantly surprised with the care and concern the staff had with our safety. Cozy warm dining and delicious food. It was certainly a boost during this pandemic. I highly recommend this place. read more

We celebrated a friends birthday here and I couldnt wait to go back with my husband. The staff is amazing and we were so pleased! The food is delicious the setup of the beer tap listing is ingenious! read more

Incredibly impressed by the sense of hospitality expressed by the staff...not just great servicw but a genuine sense of welcoming. Loved they had one of my favorite Bourbons and knew to serve it properly over on large cube of ice. Food was delicious. Can't wait to return. read more

The 16th Ward - Bars Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

This is my new favorite place in Scranton. If you are a craft beer lover, this place is for you. They have a wide selection of top-notch craft beers of different styles. Wonderful food, I highly recommend the cheese board. Great quiet atmosphere. read more

My reservation was for 840 when I got there they told me the kitchen closes in 15 minutes. Seriously he suggested I order my food before my drinks so I don't miss the kitchen closing time. I had to order before my date arrived. How embarrassing. Oddly enough I ordered after the table next to me and I got my food before them. I am not sure how that happens. I did order two beers in the 1.5 hours I was there would have been nice to have ordered a third but by the time 10 rolled around I couldn't seem to get a check or a beer. They just waited until it was after 10 so they could say sorry the bar is closed. There is an old flag on the wall with only 48 stars I am not sure what that is about perhaps it has something to do with the 16 ward name but not sure cause there is no explanation for any of it. They had some good beer selections but the menu is very confusing. I ordered meat balls and crab cakes assuming my date would enjoy one of them and I would eat the other. Well by meatballs they mean meatballs no pasta just meat balls. Thank god my date was interesting cause there was nothing else interesting this night. read more

Everyone told us to try this place while we were in Scranton, and for a good reason. The food and drinks were amazing, but the service was top notch. Our company has very specific rules for charging food to our cards when traveling, and we often confuse and frustrate wait staff when trying to explain how to separate items. The server we had that evening completely understood and made it a breeze. read more

Fantastic setting...cozy vibe. Great drink menu. They have a small menu that still manages to cover a range of tastes.

Couldn't wait to try this place. It didn't disappoint. He bar is beautiful. Atmosphere is nice. The food was fantastic and the charcuterie board is amazing. Excellent beer and wine choices. The only thing I don't love is how loud it is. Overall, the place is great! read more
