5 Best Bar & Grill in Scranton

“This place was awesome to hang with friends! We came into town for a reunion with friends a few weeks back and after visiting a few places that were still around 35 (!!) years ago, we wanted to try somewhere new. We reads the reviews and they brought us here! We immediately understood why this place consistently gets 5 stars. Our bartender and, we later learned, the owners are multi-generational in the community, which allowed us all to walk down memory lane of things that stayed the same and things that changed. Although I have no doubt that if this was your first time to Scranton, you would be welcomed just as warmly (the staff did not know when we walked in that we had roots in the area). We did not try the food but next time we're in town, we will look forward to doing that. We wish Thirsty Elephant continued success!“

“This bar is a hidden treasure nestled in a serene neighborhood. Its wings and pizza are top-notch and definitely worth sampling. While they host a special wing night, their prices are generally affordable. Trivia enthusiasts will appreciate the well-organized trivia night every Thursday. They offer a solid selection of drinks, boast an excellent staff, and maintain a clean environment.One downside is the cash-only policy; it would be beneficial to switch to card payments, even if it means slightly higher prices to cover transaction fees. Despite this, I highly recommend visiting this fantastic spot.“

“It was my boyfriend and mines first time here and it was AMAZING, he got the crab grilled cheese and I got the house panini and it was delicious, the staff was amazing and super friendly especially the bartender, we will absolutely be coming back , 10 outta 10 recommend!“

“I don't go out (to bars) all that often, but this is a nice spot. The layout isn't cramped which is a plus. Nice bar tenders and they have comedy nights that are pretty fun. Any type of establishment that gives people an outlet like comedy night or open mic is a good thing for the community. Definitely give this place a visit.Parking: Definitely worth a visit.“

“Love Mickey Gannons. We hadn't been since covid hit. The server explained that they had new management and were excited for the changes that were being made. Then after 2 burgers, fries, an order of chicken fingers, and 2 beers each, the bill came to $108 for the 3 of us!! It'll be a long while before we go back.“
