Food was not great, waited 1 hour to just get our food- (wings and a cheese steak), Waitress forgot…read moreabout us twice. Don't know how it was named best cheesesteak in the Poconos- it was like minced meat scrambled with cheese and the wings were the smallest ever seen. Oh- and don't forget your bug spray if you sit outside. On a positive note- we enjoyed the band.

The beer selection and interior design were more impressive than the food…read more Both beers we ordered were poured well and had good citrus and hoppy notes. No complaints there. Besides the staple menu, there was a rotating menu featuring a soup, mussel dish, flatbread, burger, and pasta. The food took some time to come out, and everything was rather bland across the board. The interior was decorated nicely for the holidays though. *Hummus Platter: a huge shareable for $10. The crispy naan resembled the Costco version but fried. The naan itself worked well as a base for the hummus, although the hummus was neither smooth nor flavorful. There was no fragrance from the chickpeas, and it tasted rather unseasoned. The selection of peppers, carrots, and cucumbers was decent. *Garlic Butter Mussels: their monthly mussel dish. The mussels were cooked well and coated in a one dimensional sauce. The sweet wine was cooked down with lots of garlic, while the butter was subtle. I wished there had been a bit more toasted baguette to balance the one pound of seafood. Note there is a 3% credit card surcharge. I could not find this listed on their menu and but I saw the charge on my receipt. I enjoyed the few beers I had, and the food was acceptable for a bar. With some improvement to the flavors, this could be a worthwhile visit for a bite and a drink.

Came here for lunch while on a business trip. I had the burger with fries. The burger was delicious…read morethe brioche bun was very good soft and fluffy. The fries were crispy on the outside but still fluffy on the inside. They were dry service was good not many people in the restaurant for lunch. It was a Tavern type of decor. My only issue was the beer cheese. It tasted too much like beer. The beer flavor was definitely over powering. The other special sauce wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. A typical thousand island type of sauce. But over all it was pretty solid. I would comeback and try something else.

French onion soup, lobster bisque and bacon wrapped scallops. 1. the scallops were way over cooked and rubbery. absolutely unedible. 2.

If it's a quiet nite, they'll wrap up the kitchen before 8.

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.

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. I highly recommend Keats Pub. 115 Bowman Street, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18705 570-822-3344 keatspub.com

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!

If you like paying $87.83 (not including the tip) for 3 orders of wings and a couple of warm beers,…read morethis is the place for you. Service was so so, one waitress came over to the table and took away 2 empty glasses and returned with one glass of beer. Hmmmm, what's up with that? I had to wait for another waitress to come over and ask if I received my beer, I said no. Now for the wings, they are not JUMBO, according to their menu. Mine were not hot, just warm and were overcooked. The meat was on the dry side, BUT, the sauce was good. Make sure you look at your bill carefully, most people look at the bottom line and figure that is what is owed. NOT SO with Dooley's, if you use a credit card, they throw on an extra charge, which jacks up the bill to $90.37. We paid cash and figured the tip on $90.37. NEVER AGAIN will we be heading to Old Forge to visit this place. Prices are way too high at this place and the food was not that good. One more thing, the ticket states 2 guests, there were 3 of us

There were a lots of people there - either because if it was Friday or the local musician was performing last night. Everything we ordered was good.
