Kildare's Irish Pub - Scranton

Trash. One of the security guards took my $20 for the $2 cover and then refused to give me my change. The owner has threatened customers and it's so easy for underage teens to buy there way in that half the patrons are wasted 19yo

Great hot wings! Good bartenders, usually a good crowd for the area!

Great atmosphere. Food was great. Service was excellent!

Service was a bit slower than expected, but there were lots of college students eating outside, so I guess they were busy. Not much happening inside except the Irish singer. His singing made it difficult to carry on a conversation. The food was good - we all ordered different plates and there were no complaints. Nothing outstanding, but nothing bad either. Decent prices too.

Lively and atmospheric. Trendy crowds, great food and drinks. It has outside seating and live music. Great place!!

I went here to pick up a late night dinner on Thursday, April 11, 2019 . The college kids definitely had the place filled to capacity. I asked if I could order food and the bouncer said yes and made the bartender bring over a menu. She asked if I wanted takeout and i said yes. She gave me a menu and walked away. When I asked her if she could take my order she was a little rude. I thought okay....she may be overwhelmed with the volume of people so I waited. I had to ask her again if she was going to take my order because she just flat out ignored me and wanted to serve the college students; even after she asked me to wait. She looked right at me and asked the guy who had just walked up if she could help him. I should have left at that moment but I was very hungry. After she took my order, I waited for 30 minutes and some guy said....are you waiting for takeout? After I said yes, he went in the back and brought out my order. I asked the guy who was emptying glasses to take my check. He had to ask the bartender to take it. I took my food and went across the street to the hotel. The salmon was hard and overcooked. This is by far the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. I will definitely not go back. Very bad experience! I would have gone back and requested a refund but I knew it was useless.

The only place I've found to go dancing. College bar for sure. Sometimes they have really old dudes creeping around this spot, so ladies keep ya eyes open. Thankfully I know how to handle myself. Dancing is on Fridays and Saturdays with mixed music. Thursdays is Karaoke night. They make pretty good drinks. I've eaten here as well. Had some pretty good tacos.

This place was great! It has an Irish feel to it for sure, but only slightly overdone. They actually serve a few Irish entrees, shepherds pie and something else. I just got a huge burger with an egg on it, and was not disappointed. The bun was not cheap, the burger didn't have the "frozen" look to it, and it was nice and juicy. Good amount of fries came with it. Could have had slightly more flavor. They also have a nice selection of beers on draught. I got a chocolate milk stout — interesting to say the least. Also got pretzels and beer cheese and mustard as an appetizer...beer cheese was great! To top this visit off, the appetizer was half price. $35 for 2 burgers, 2 beers, and an appetizer.

I loved this place. The service was excellent and so were the drinks. 😂 I would definitely go back

Good food, great atmosphere, super staff and a Happy Hour that can't be beat! If you have a group of 15 people you can call in advance to arrange your own Happy Hour at a fantastic price. Happy Hour has several different pricing structures, check it out; but remember you need to do this IN ADVANCE.

We've eaten here a few times and it never disappoints! Great beer selection and food is awesome.

One of the better bars for going out on the weekends (if you want dancing and a club like atmosphere). Prices are fair. Service is decent if not overly courteous. More likely to get into a fight here than some other places, but they do take security seriously with a dedicated, competent security staff. As far as a restaurant I've eaten here over the years and it is ok. Not amazing but not bad by any means. When I was 21-23 I would have rated this place much higher, but that's more a reflection of my changing taste than the business. Kildare's is good at what they do.

Monday Night Trivia. Well worth stopping by..

Went with friends to Kildare's last night. It was a new visit for one of our friends who wanted to go after hearing us rave about the place. Unfortunately it was a let down. We expected a wide variety of Irish food, just as it had been the other times we were there. Most of the Irish foods, including the boxies were removed in favor of burgers and non Irish fare. We settled on Guinness stew and shepherd's pie. The meat in the stew was hard, dry and difficult to chew. Whoever made the shepherd's pie had no idea how it was supposed to look, smell or taste. First, we noticed that it looked like a boiled red potato was smashed then crumbled over the top. Second, the filling was mostly comprised of a bland gravy. Third, some of the meat filling was ground while some of the meat was in hard chunks. Also, we had the pretzel appetizer. It was warm, soft and tasty but a little greasy. The menu said it came with beer cheese but it tasted more like a nacho dipping cheese. Origanally we said we wouldn't come back but after speaking about all the fun and good food we'd had there during our many visits over the years, we decided to wait until our next visit to the area then try it again and give another review.

Great place great food drinks and staff is awesome
