26 Best Bars in Wilkes Barre

“A staple in the northeastern Pennsylvania cuisine scene.
White tablecloth fine dining, menu excellent , genuinely welcoming.. they have a cozy little bar for a table for two on a busy night. Staff is wonderful, truly great service and I believe there is a gentleman that opens the door for the guests ( at least that's what my mom told me ). Also I'd like to know that they chose to put those tablecloth mats on each table, so your plates don't ping off the tabletop, things sit nice, comfy on the elbows.. As a dweeb, I take notice of those extra touches.. just sayin'
Delicious traditional dishes, but with a real touch of genuine.
They put craft and dedication to cooking these traditional dishes.
The staff is one of the finest in the area, service was outstanding I would say make sure to order the special. Even though you might not know what it is, you can trust that this kitchen will deliver an amazing plate.
Recently I went there with my parents, and they reminded me to wear something nice and make sure I don't have any holes in my jeans.. haha!
That's the kind of place this is in a great way.
Isabella has been doing it great for I would say almost 20 years one of my best friends used to cook their way back when and was always regarded as a very great kitchen in the area.
Always a great choice.
Thank you very much Isabella I will see you again! See you around!

“Hands down amazing food!!“

“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.“

“great food great bartenders great atmosphere just a 5 star place all around“

“Hospitality is great. Wings are so good! I recommend!“

“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.“

“My friend Berry comes here and loves the mozzarella sticks. I wanted to take Abdul, but the drive is kind of steep. Anyway, if you live in the area, the place is really well known for the cuisine! It’s a little off the beaten path if you aren’t familiar with the area, so you may want to use your car’s navigation system.“

“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.“

“great people cheap drinks“

“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!“

“I hosted a 30th birthday party here for my friend and everything was fantastic! was able to add some touches with permission from the restaurant, staff was very kind and attentive. Definitely reccomend !“

“I don't normally endorse just any restaurant, but we stumbled upon the best Mexican restaurant in the area. La Cantina Amigon on S. Main Street in Wilkes-Barre is the place you need to go when you're craving excellent Mexican food, great service (see Delia), and fair prices. 😋👍🏻👍🏻 🌮“

“🍺🥃👍 The finest wings and booze money can buy .“

“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.
We stopped by for dinner and drinks tonight. My husband had chicken cheese steak and it was delicious. The chicken is fresh not frozen. The bun was toasted. So delicious. . Made to order, asked if he wanted the peppers and cheese on it. He dis. So yummy

I had a pizza with onions. It was thin and and plenty of cheese and onions. They were not skimpy. . It was so delicious .

The bartender, owner,and cook were so friendly and nice.
Prices are reasonable and the music on jukebox was great.“

“Great place to have fun and great people to be around.“

“1st time at Franklin's.. loved the fact they had outdoor seating.. nice place! Great food & the service was impeccable.. highly recommend if you're in Wilkes-Barre area“

“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“

“Perfect little Sports Bar located in section 119 of arena. Sports bar only open during Arena hours of operation for a concerts or sporting events. Draft beer bottle beer wine and mixed drinks available. No seating at location but you are allowed to walk with beverages throughout Arena. $7 -$9 price point on most items.“

“Great time at our class reunion!“

“When my Jeep grenaded it’s serpentine belt I pulled into the owners lot where I was greeted by Don and Vicky, they looked at my car, insisted I come in to stay warm and even gave me a few pints to take the sting of breaking down away! It doesn’t hurt they like the Steelers either! I will be back soon for real with my wife to say hello“
