This place was awesome. Small menu, but delicious food, and dozens of cool pinball and old arcade games, plus a bunch of 80's and 90's posters and other memorabilia. Service was quite good, overall, but the waitress did take the dipping cups from my dessert away before I was finished with the dessert, so I had to dock a star on service here.

My husband is a gamer. I am a drinker. We both like to eat.
29 draft beers, hundreds of more craft beers in bottles and cans. Really interesting cocktails (Butter Beer!) and bourbon cask aged stout.
I had JAMbalaya. Huge bowl and it was both good and priced right.
The waitress was great, but she had to cover a large floor area.
Hubby played 20 vintage arcade games. Could have played more but ran out of quarters.
Pool tables too.
Within walking distance (a SHORT walk) of the Radison hotel.

staff is pretty nice, and food is acceptable, but the owner is thick headed and despite the pride flag in the window, don't really seem to be true allies

LOVEEEE this spot! From out of town and so happy we stopped in. They have a KILLER selection of pins, including many Ive not seen in a decade+ or ever at all!
The prices are on par in my D.C. area but may be a little pricey for Scranton cost of living. Good customer service if a machine ate some quarters; instant refund and no arguing.
Food looked and smelled amaze and next time in town, we're gonna eat lunch too!
As someone who hits old school arcades and pin joints in every city he goes too, we (myself, wife who use to hate arcades, and 15yr old) loved this spot!

Great food and great service plus some nostalgic video games...even my teenagers had a good time including my super picky eater. We ordered the fried chicken to-go because he loved it so much!

Fun place to spend some time playing retro games. The food was exceptionally good. Get the crabby fries. A great selection of drinks and beer. You won't be disappointed

Bartari is one of my favorite spots for pinball! Whether you're into the classics or new games, there's something for everyone. The atmosphere is always fun and the bartenders are top-tier. Great drinks, great games, and a great vibe!

From malfunctioning arcade machines to a lack of airflow, it would seem Bartari has declined (based on recommendations) in the last few years. Save your quarters. Additionally, the venue has attracted a certain colored-haired clientele, ultimately making it an entirely unsafe place for minors.

Taylor was excellent and very attentive making sure that I got the best service it made we eager to comeback and dine with her again
I went to get a few drinks and play games I was skipped over and took forever to be served even though it was not crowded , after my order was taken other people were still served before me even after getting there after me thennnn my drinks had zero alcohol in them whatsoever I asked for a vodka sprite and vodka cranberry and was served plain club soda and cranberry juice and costed 20 dollars for two “drinks” it was insane! The games are all old and suck too definitely go to Dave and busters instead

Beyond horrible bar do not recommend! Bartenders were cursing us at 2 am to “get the f*** out”. Staff was very unprofessional. On top of the horrible service, I was physically assaulted by the bartenders girlfriend and the bartenders sat back and watched. I also called to speak with the owner about the issues and he didn’t even have the decency to call me back. Stay from away from this bar.

My teenager and I came in and sat down at a table close to the bar, with menus. A guy from another table got up and came over and asked us if we wanted to drink. I was a little taken back cuz I didn't know if he was a customer or a server. He was a server, LOL he was nice enough, I asked if there were any Ciders at the bar, he said the only thing we have is on tap, I said great I ordered that my son ordered a soda. I ordered the crab goombas, he ordered a burger, he absolutely loved his Burger the crab Goombas to me was a big ball of stuffing, salty stuffing not even a hint of crab flavor stuffed in a giant raw mushroom. I tasted the salty stuffing put it aside and ate a raw mushroom. The raw mushroom was good. Then we went to go play games, the pinball machines are fun but the quarters kept getting jammed. Being that I am a Gen X I went straight for the older games like Donkey Kong and Pac-Man, and the quarters again kept getting "jammed " The employees gave me some quarters back and told me to just play other games. I would definitely try it again, next time drinking more drinks and playing where pinball. But definitely not ordering the food.
