50 Best Bars near Trucksville

“We booked the Grove at the Checkerboard for our wedding, and everything was PERFECT!
The whole planning process was painless, they responded quickly to all of my questions in the months leading up to the event, and went through every detail with us to ensure the night went smoothly.

The morning of, we arrived to decorate, and the tables & chairs already in position exactly how we discussed, and Mark was putting tablecloths out. He checked and rechecked throughout the day to make sure everything was spotless and that no critters or bugs came to join the party, and that the wind didn't interfere with any decorations.
The Grove is a beautiful space! It was perfect for our crowd of family & friends. We had over 100 guests and there wouldve been room for many more tables if needed. Theres also seperate bathrooms at the grove, and a large game room that was the perfect space to get ready, and to freshen up throughout the night, and it was the perfect space for the kids/teens to play and keep themselves entertained.
The trees and grass were beautiful in all the pictures, and our guests enjoyed exploring the area & playing horseshoes! We were fortunate enough to have perfect weather, but the pavilion does have walls that can be pulled closed if it rains.
Theres a massive menu to choose from. We chose to do 2 entrees buffet style, but table service is also an option- and the food was phenomenal!
They also offer different choices for drinks- fountain drinks/coffee was included, and theres options to pay by the keg/bottle, or unlimited drinks, we chose to include beer & wine (2 beer options, 3 wine) and did cash bar for liquor, & no one minded walking across the lawn for an extra drink!
Mark was on the ball- from setting up, to serving food, clearing tables, and making sure the drink table stayed full, there was not a single hiccup the whole night
Overall, they were fantastic to deal with. We spent a fraction of what we originally anticipated, and everything was perfect. Our guests had an awesome time, and I would 10000% recommend the Grove/The Checkerboard to anyone looking to throw a great party with great food!“

“We just had the most amazing pizza, beer and wine at Sabatini’s. Gina was our waitress and she went above and beyond! Truly incredible pizza pie! We order 3 smalls and each and every one was better than the next! Yea it’s cash only but there is an atm in the lobby. Totally and completely worth every bite! Tall booths, lanterns and lovely atmosphere! The Sabatinis bar next door is totally cool and we picked up quite a few different kinds of beers to take home to Ct with us! Also, the buffalo hot wings were a fabulous app! Totally and highly recommend! Wow!“

“order the menu it's delicious“

“Had our daughters Sweet 16 party here with about 70 people, a DJ and lots of younger kids. This place is the PERFECT place to host any party! We were all impressed with this venue. There is enough space to dance and have a DJ but a place on the other side to relax play pool/fooseball and just hang out if the music is too much for guests. The staff there helped carry things in and had the whole place set up ready to be decorated! Also, everyone knows the worst part of any event is the clean up. Well, Broadway Tavern told us to take what we wanted and leave the rest up to them!!!!! I will definitely be using this place in the future!! HIGHLY recommend!!!“

“Met my children their last night for dinner. What a find. Easy to get to, not same old tired menu selection, great food with detailed presentation. Strong service staff. Look forward to going back when in the area.“

“The burgers were so filling and the fries absolutely amazing first time trying your food will definitely be back“

“I was absolutely amazed by this nostalgic saloon, for my first time here, and the owners were just as welcoming. Harry is the coolest. What a wonderful job they do to keep a 100+ year-old bar tradition alive and well! It’s filled with so much history, character, and nostalgia all in one place. 🍻“

“Great bartenders and food! Always enjoy my time there.“

“This restaurant is an area landmark for a unique sweet pizza. It has been in Hanover Section of Nanticoke for decades and is still very popular. The pizza pies are smaller than other places, but they've always been that size. The prices are reasonable compared to other places, and the pizza has its own taste. It is always served hot and quick. The inside has a bar in addition to a dining area. You can also order for take out. It is worth trying if you've never had it to see if you like the unique pizza style served at Ruby's. There is plenty of parking and they DON'T deliver.“

“Came here after a buddy recommended the wings, and must say they have some of the best wings I’ve ever had! Also have a solid cheese burger. 10/10 if you are looking for a good wing night don’t hesitate ! Friendly staff as well very attentive bar tenders!🤙“

“My go to bar for the last 40 years, friendliest atmosphere in any bar in town.Reasonable prices.Recently read some unfavorable comments about it, but people who would knock a place like this deserve to be ignored anyway.Wouldn"t waste my time going anywhere else.“

“Un Lugar acogedor para estar en familia. Las atenciones al cliente excelente, con respeto y amabilidad. Higiene, buen sabor sobre todo y una presentación en cada plato perfecta. 110% recomendado. Gracias porque a WILKESBARE le hacía falta un lugar con clase y familiar.“

“This is one of my favorite bars in the entire world! Super friendly family oriented bar. They have fun things to do like bingo. If you enjoy the “Cheers” atmosphere, I highly recommend stopping by. You won’t be disappointed.

They’re celebrating their 90th anniversary in June. If you stop by, wish them a happy birthday!“

“It has a dive bar vibe with a huge bar area surrounded by some tables. It gets pretty busy at night. We didn't eat, but the pizza and wings looked good.

It seems like a great spot for drinks with friends or if you enjoy pulling up a few seats at the bar and people-watching.“

“Good Atmosphere, New vibes, Great food! Pool table upstairs, Deck for fresh air This place had all the ingredients for a good time. Under new ownership. 👍💯“

“great people cheap drinks“

“Small bar and restaurant with a pool table. We ordered fresh cut fries with cheese and bacon (real bacon, not real cheese) and wings. I ordered the house special sauce, a mix of wing sauce, bbq and parm cheese. It was not the best. The bites were good otherwise. Not too bad price-wise.“

“I'm a regular here, and it's the only bar in the area that I feel comfortable enough to go to by myself and have a beer. The employees are all very friendly and welcoming, the food is great, the beer is cold, and the bathrooms are clean. It's not a large bar, but it's definitely on a more intimate level where you learn to know everyone that comes in. I have introduced a lot of my friends to this bar, and they love it as well. I will recommend them to anyone that wants a good beer and hot food.“

“great place too just go and relax and have a few drinks“

“Great food and great Times there.“

“Love this place! It’s got that old-school neighborhood vibe where everyone feels welcome the moment you walk in. The bartenders are super friendly — they actually remember your name and your drink after a visit or two. Drinks are delicious, cheap, and always served with a smile. It’s cash only, but there’s an ATM right inside, so no big deal. Perfect spot to unwind, chat with locals, or just enjoy a laid-back night without breaking the bank. Definitely one of those rare, genuine spots that keeps the community feel alive.😁“

“Good food and an overall great time tonight. Thank you Courtney!!“

“amazing burritos! great quick service“

“Great atmosphere with the friendliest, most non-judgmental staff and patrons, who make you feel like family. Karaoke nights are especially fun. Highly recommend.“

“Was here the other year with my girlfriend on a random road trip. We did some bar hopping and came here on our travels. Cool little spot, the bartender was very nice and the bar patrons were hilarious. I came away with some money gambling on the one machine that helped out with our bar hopping adventures LOL for not being from the are we were treated like one of the regulars“

“Haslins Cafe is now under new ownership. I miss the old owner, he was so sweet to me. It is now Hit n Sip, on George Ave, Parsons, Pa.

This place did not disappoint for watching any Eagles game. It’s truly like a full eagle bar with the atmosphere of all the fans. Love the place went back a second time a week ago.“
