The Normandie isn't just any dive bar, but the best dive bar in all of Lackawanna County. I used to…read morelive in Scranton, on the dividing line between the Green Ridge and Pinebrook sections. 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.

My Cousin Susan "Susie' McGurrin has worked there for probably 30 years. Before that My…read moreGrandfather, Joe Reilly and Dad, Joe Reilly jr., and Uncle Bob Stehle (Sue's Dad0 used to go there when the family lived in the neighborhood for many years. As a child visiting back in the late 50's and early 60's, I (Joseph "Tim" Reilly) used to go by there with my Grandfather and other relatives when they lived on Larch St. A few years ago I flew up from TEXAS to visit and just walked in on my cousin and sat at the end of the bar and ordered a drink, it took her a while but she finally figured out it was me. Always a great place to visit when we are in Scranton, especially anywhere near Saint Patrick's Day and Parade Day. I love my memories od this historic old Tavern. Joseph "Tim" Reilly Boerne, TEXAS

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.
