24 Best Bars near Luzerne

“My wife and I stopped in over the weekend and enjoyed it. Kester's is a great local bar. It's been around forever and never changes, and that's a good thing. They have a full bar up front and a large room with tables in the back. There is a patio and a few tables in the rear outside. They serve shots, mixed drinks and beer and they have snacks like chips etc. The bartender is very friendly. It's very clean including the restrooms. It is a smoking bar. They have off street parking. The prices are very fair.“

“Little Tex-Mex/American/Polish? Fusion Restaurant with an old American pub attached: Strange first impressions. I didn't know it was possible to put burgers, tacos, and pierogi's on the same menu, so good for them. However, the food was great, as we tried the wings and burger. They cooked my burger perfectly median rare - fantastic. The service was quick and pleasant. The atmosphere was decent, with cool antique decorations scattered on the wall. We will be returning soon.“

“This is literally one of the most underrated spots to go. I got their burger and that was the best burger I've had from a restaurant/pub IN AWHILE. the fries were amazing too and even after the server was very busy, she still gave us excellent service and got our food out very quickly. If your looking a place for a great set of burger and fries, TRY HERE.“

“Authentic Mexican food — SO fresh! The salsa is amazing and there is a big variety of tacos prepared with traditional Mexican ingredients. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I had several questions about some items on the menu I was unfamiliar with- I learned a lot! Portion sizes are very generous -including the $7 Happy Hour Margaritas, which are made with fresh squeezed lime juice. No mixers here! My husband’s comment when we first tasted our food: “they definitely don’t take short cuts here”. This is a great addition to downtown WB - can’t wait to go back!“

“Stepping in here is like taking a step back in time! Everyone is very friendly and the food is very good. Very generous with the portions and what is provided...where else can you go and get soup, salad, your meal and dessert all for one price!! It's very affordable. Highly recommend.“

“I remember going here when I was a little girl. Fast forward...it's still perfect. I'm not a fan of chain restaurants. Dukey's still has it!! My haddock was amazing as was my sister's stuffed lobster. Waitress was a little doll..very attentive but not intrusive. Loved loved loved it. Little piece of heaven.. a hidden gem.“

“This place is a favorite. Great rotating beer selections on draft. Pizza is always amazing. Bartenders know us and our usual order as we are creatures of habit but you can't fake just knowing. If you know, you know. Overall, one of the best places in the valley to just chill. No TVs but internet so great place to just veg on your phone, iPad, or computer with some ear buds. Love this place!“

“Loved the stone bar and the atmosphere: good music, lights, decor, everything.Food was decent, wouldn’t say great, j only had the bonfire. Buffalo chicken was good but the cheese sauce wasn’t amazing. Im very picky about cheese though.However the service from Grace was amazing. Very friendly and welcoming.Will definitely visit again!“

“The wings are phenomenal! We always get the mild bleu sauce and they are perfect every time. The staff is kind and the woman with the purple hair (I apologize not knowing if she’s the owner or the manager) comes around to each table to check on the guests. I think that is extremely admirable and kind and definitely shows they care about their customers. Every time we are there they are busy but I can see why…the food is so good! Despite being so busy, the food comes out in a reasonable time.“

“My review is nearly 50 years late, but I have fond memories of eating here as a young child on our biennial trips to the Hanover section of Nanticoke to visit my grandmother who lived across Espy Street from Ruby's Inn. I vaguely recall a bar a door or two down where we used to get steamed, spicy blue crabs, too. Also, a great place for kielbasa (Swantko's on Pine St?) that closed down around 2005 after 80 years in business shortly after I had them ship a box to my father for his 80th birthday. Then there were the candy stores on Front St we used to walk to; both started with a "P" if memory serves. And the hikes up the mountain to the reservoir, eating wild berries on the way. Does the horn at the old firehouse across the street from Ruby's still blow every night? I really need to plan a trip back to Ruby's to bring back all these good childhood memories through their pizza! Maybe I'll finally get to see Concrete City, too!“

“Great place to meet friends and meet new ones the staff is top notch and as friendly as your neighbor they have a bar type menu but everything is really good based on how much people get every day well worth stopping by and meeting people who will become your friend“

“Excellent place, food, attention, atmosphere, kids, everything... I loved itVegetarian options: Anything non-vegetarian is a temptation at this placeParking: Lots of people alwaysKid-friendliness: Children are acceptedWheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair access“

“We had a great dinner with another couple. We tried several items absolutely love the peach and Barada salad and was super surprised at how good their pizza was considering it's not a pizza joint. Service was very attentive, prices were fair and it's really a neat restaurant. We love the atmosphere. We will definitely be going back soon.“

“Finally got around to trying both their square and round pizza since it's only $10 for a 16-in. The round has very thin crust which I personally like. I'm not a pizza professor so I can't tell you what kind of cheese or whatever may have gone into the ingredients to give you an idea of what the outcome is but I thought it was good. The slices are definitely not as hefty as you would find at maybe Napoli's or in the Wilkes-Barre area Nello's to give an idea. But for $10 I would not pass this up. As for the square variety again not a pizza professor but it's comparable to most everything else around here. I would say at least in the square tray that I got the crust seemed a little too hard for my liking. But again no joke for a full tray for $10.“

“Can't pass up a Irish Bar and glad I gave Maddy's a try. The Budweiser bottles were ice cold The bartender and people at bar were very friendly. And there's a awesome huge pool table. I had a great time there. Very nice fun friendly atmosphere“

“Love this place!! Great food and amazing service!! We tried the Crab Gouda flat bread at the recommendation of Sam and Della and boy were they right!! We also had the Old bay Shrimp, bites and Dry Cajun Shore fries with Santa Fe Ranch!!! Yum to everything!!! We go for the food but even more for the staff. Sam, Della and Nick are truly the best and always make our night out Extra special!!“

“Went for lunch on Father's day and didn't have to wait for a table at the bar, which was fine because my Dad and brother loved playing the games while waiting for our food. I ordered the turkey wrap and it was gigantic! I asked for everything on it and they sure did! The wrap was grilled to a pleasant crisp so it didn't get soggy. A large pile of hot fries and a pickle came with it. My Dad ordered a pizza as usual and it was perfectly done. Our bill was reasonable and our waitress was friendly and made sure we were happy. Glad we chose Checkerboard for my disabled Father's special day. Thank you :)“

“By far one of the best places I’ve been to in the area! The food was incredible, our server was extremely kind and friendly, the guests were welcoming and it was an overall great environment and experience. This was my first time here but absolutely will not be my last time! The fries and wings were some of the best I’ve had!Kid-friendliness: The staff were incredibly kind to the child we had along with us and the environment was accommodating to children! There is a small section in the menu for kid’s meals!“

“This establishment is a great place to shoot darts and have a few drinks very relaxing and peaceful place to shoot owner always welcomed you and introduces his self to you he is a good man that loves to see people have fun and respect the bar for it's worth zing time each time I go.had a blast and enjoyed shooting with everyone their all in and out great place.“

“THE DUKE! Don't you dare drive by without stopping for a Duke. My boyfriend and I are moving back to this area and it’s the number one thing we are looking forward to. Both of us were born and raised just outside of Philadelphia and I lived in SP for many years. We know a good cheesesteak. We both believe this to be a very hearty contender in the race for the best steak sandwich. I’ve considered making t-shirts that say, “we moved back here for THE DUKE”.Please give our new family free DUKES for life!?“

“The bartenders, are so very polite, courteous, and very welcoming, Carl, and Jeff, I grew up with both gentalman, they are like my brothers, Craig and Gina, are very friendly, very open minded, and willIng to listen when anything is on your mind, that you may need to get off your chest, the Rec Room, is like family, it's my comfort zone“

“The Parkway is something special. There’s not a place for miles that has consistent great live rock n’ roll music like the Parkway. The Strawberry Jam duo plays every Wednesday and it’s a nice mid-week break for us. The staff is great, atmosphere is incredible, and the food is awesome. We’ve had so many great times and friends made here!“

“Been coming here for over 20 years.. Generations change things, but this family tavern is still the place to be for the corner/old time bar and it's always a good time. Come here for a great night of music/small talk and get together with your friends.. I love this place!“
