    Typical bar food, lots of seating - they have the initial bar and then an additional back room where we had to move to during a dumpster fire that happened right in front of their restaurant. (weird story). Anyway, decent beer list, great servers! We enjoyed different appetizers and sandwiches. Good option if you're passing through town.

    The only restaurant where I get Delicious Smoked Chicken Wings. I don't know any other place that has this. It's a unique flavor and taste, it has a HUGE selection of beers as well, is like 4 pages on the beer menu..lolol a lifetime to taste them all..jaja! There is a backyard section for drinking eating, my favorite. Customer service is excellent. All the food items I tasted were great, too many to list one by one. Best eating experience. Oh yeah, and a wide variety of sauces and dips. Try them all, like I did. Jaja! This restaurant is located in front of the main parks, the center of Scranton. It is an absolute must do.

    I enjoy going to the BYA when I'm in Scranton. Nice selection of micros on tap. I prefer eating in the backyard, but a little tough to do in the winter. The bar area is a classic pub with dark wood, plenty of room at the bar with lots of table seating. Parking is on street. Service was good. I had 2 awesome IPAs and the BBQ sampler with a side of mac n cheese. I love their Mac. One of my favorites. My BBQ Sampler choice was pork, ribs and brisket. It was a huge portion. I wasn't overly excited with either the brisket or the ribs. In my opinion there was way too much much dry rub. Pork was awesome and so was the cornbread.

    Went during the games on Sunday and there was still plenty of seating both inside and outside. We sat at the bar as there were no low tops available and brought our dog with us, Marshmallow with us as its dog friendly outside. We had a really great time. Crowd was lively, bartenders were called by name so it goes to show tons of regulars. Service was great and food was amazing as well. We ordered the Tito's chicken parm sandwich, Buffalo chicken dip and brisket sammi. All were flavorful and filling.

    In the warmer months, nothing beats brunch on the patio. Do yourself a favor and try it!

    I enjoy the outdoor scenery and the music is always very good. Drinks are good as well. Really, no complaints.

    What's not to like? Best beer selection around, good food, good atmosphere and the friendliest, knowledgable staff around.

    Had a horrible experience at poor richards then came here and it made my day. Everyone was really nice and I definitely recommend it.

    Great food and great beer selection. I just wish it was set up slightly different as it becomes extremely loud and echoes.
