Back when I lived in the Green Ridge section of Scranton I was on a trivia team. We were called The Evil League of Evil and played exclusively at Andy Gavin's. I visited this pub and eatery many times during my Electric City sojourn and always enjoyed myself. During the summer months I enjoyed dining on the outside patio while facing the Lackawanna County Prison located directly across the street. Only when enjoying a delicious meal precious few feet away from incarcerated murderers and rapists can I truly appreciate the extent of my freedom and quality of Andy Gavin's entrees. I often wondered if the inmates were ever able to hear the noise of the restaurant while locked away in their cells; how they must have longed for a quality steak, cool alcoholic drink, and attractive dinner partner. My only major complaint with Andy Gavin's is their restroom area. The men's room is among the smallest and most cramped I've ever been in. If you suffer from claustrophobia be sure to use the bathroom before you leave home. Upon moving to Scranton I first misread Andy Gavin's as Lady Gavin's. I still think Lady Gavin's is a much better name and hopefully a pub in Scranton or Wilkes-Barre will open under that moniker. I also knew people who frequently mistook Andy Gavin's with a similar sounding pub and eatery by the name of Micky Gannon's. The names in Scranton are so confusing.

The wings are HUGE and nasty! They are not able to get them extra, extra crispy. The meat would not come off the bone. They have large hunks of cartilage that sound like your biting into an apple when you try to eat them. They were rushed out and almost flash fried. The sauce is tomato based (not a bad thing) but the "hot" lacks heat and flavor. A+ for the thickness of the sauce. I am sick of places rushing out an order of EXTRA, EXTRA CRISPY wings. They think they need to get everything out of the kitchen at the same time. I will sometimes order them extra, extra crispy and tell them I don't mind waiting for them. The kiss of death for myself ordering wings extra, extra crispy is some else at the table ordering wings normal. I know that the cook is putting my wings in the basket with the normal order and that they will come out at the same time and under cooked. Ahhhhhh! There are places that make their wings crispy and I don't have to order them special. But this is one of those places you have to get the waitress's attention and tell them EXTRA EXTRA CRISPY and that you will wait as long as it takes. If they listen and do so the jumbo sized wings might be alright to eat. But if you like your wings crispy and medium to small sized (like I do) this is not your place.

Immediate props for being open on Sundays...so many places closed in the area. Plenty of street parking, even with the snow. Walked in to a mostly empty bar/restaurant but greeted promptly. Quick taste of a local beer and ordered our brews of choice. Small snafu on the beer lines, but they handled quickly....dude marked kegs incorrectly. Homeade pierogies with butter and onions were solid. Salad with chicken bites just ok. Ordered Jerk but were more like bbq sauce and overcooked pieces. Salad was fine. Service was the winner here, as she checked on us often. In and out in an hour. Would gladly go back.

Nice patio to sit out on and have a beer (even if it is across from the prison). Their quesadilla is my favorite food there. Mixed reviews on the wings. I can tell you that their death sauce for the wings is incredibly hot. I don't even know if it's enjoyably hot, it just burns. I made the fatal mistake of wiping away a tear after tasting the sauce, my eye burned and burned. But whatever, I like the place. Go have a pint on the deck.

Definitely the most over rated bar in this area. The only thing going for this place is the atmosphere...it really is a "great looking" corner bar. I've gone multiple times and each time I think they will surprise me but I always leave disappointed. Place is too small to enjoy yourself, beer selection is ok but average compared to other places. Wings are terrible and all the other food I had except for their homemade potatoes chips. NEVER order a mix drink because they have no idea how to make one. The one star is for their atmosphere and potatoes chips only!

Andy Gavin's is one of my favorite bars. Really good London broil sandwiches, wide selection of beer. Good service. Great potato chips.
(4)Chantel B.
Great atmosphere, good and varied beer selection, and do not miss pub quiz Wednesday nights at 9:30. By only our third or fourth time attending Frank knew our names and made sure we were welcome and comfortable.

This is def one of my favorite bars. It has a very chill atmosphere to it and it's kept very clean. Everyone that works there is incredibly friendly to you. The inside of the bar is sort of small so it can get crowded in there on a busy night but thats not a problem because they have plenty of room outside for you to sit. I've only had the wings there and they were ok. Pretty cheap drink prices too so thats a plus

Great place to grab a beer after work. I've been there several times and the food and service is always good. It gets really crowded on the weekends but there's plenty of room outside on the heated/covered patio.

We were a group of 12. Service was great and food was awesome. Owner came out to speak with us and was very friendly and helpful. Even large group next table were super fun. Thin crust pizzas were the bomb....and burgers were great. They even had the hockey game on which for us canadiens its a huge bonus. Great sports bar which was all that we expected and more Thanks Andy's!

Stopped by for lunch on our way to Ithaca...won't be going back. Salad was mostly the white part of the romaine head, chicken was dry, my husband's signature sandwich was more bread than meat. The staff was great and awesome beer selection.

I've been here a few times now and I have to say that it is definitely one of the better pubs to go to in scranton. Now you may ask why did I give this place 3 stars. The first thing is that their menu thins down when a specific time occurs at night. I forgot if it was 11pm or midnight, but the good stuff is gone and that was disappointing. However, the bigger issue is their tap. A good pub relies on their tap for their "bread and butter" beer. The first time I came, I tried a guiness and it tasted rancid and really weird. I told the waitress and she replaced it with no questions asked. Nice. The next time I went, I ordered a blue moon and it was really flat. I'm not sure if its an issue with the tap or with how they store the beer? But regardless, it made this place a little disappointing since I like the environment to hang out and drink at. I would give this place more like 3 and a 1/2 stars. I'll probably give this place a chance again and try the tap again but so far, it's been hit or miss. Place is a good place to chill though so bring lots of friends! Their food is about average pub food. Not amazing but good enough that I will eat it again.

Decent, clean and well-maintained bar in Scranton. Good selection of beers and microbrews. Crowd is chill and friendly. Didn't have the food there but saw some people eating and it looked pretty good. I'd def go back. 2 issues... mens restroom is tiny and it's in a terrible spot in the middle of the bar. Yes the middle... very odd. Also, you're better off getting beer in bottles as opposed to tap... the beer tastes stale as if they don't clean their tap lines.

My favorite corner bar and college haunt. It's close to Marywood, so it's where pretty much all of the students like to go. The food is great - especially their homemade chips. I'm a big fan of the free popcorn, too. My only complaints are sometimes it takes awhile for service and the entertainment - we've seen a few bands/acts that have been really awful.
(4)Jay L.
As both a musician and patron of this establishment I have nothing but praise for Andy Gavin's. The owner Donny and his staff are always class acts. I love performing here and the food is always top notch. In my opinion they have the best hot wings in Nepa. Thumbs up!
(5)W C.
This was our go to bar. Great service and great selection of beers! Loved all the pumpkin ales they got in around the fall. Didn't eat here very often but when we did it was pretty good.

With all the bars disappearing in Scranton, Andy Gavin's is the closest I can get to a constant. Great service, good food and cold beer....and there's usually enough space, too. Who can ask for more?
(4)E B.
Always the place to go when I find myself in Scranton.

Nice selection of craft/micro beer. The outside patio is fun during the summer. I was told the wings here are amazing, but I was not very impressed. Not a whole lot of meat on them, but the sauce was ok. Worth a shot.

Andy Gavin's is a fine bar on the edge of downtown Scranton. Once upon a time I was quite the regular at this establishment. I've logged many (probably too many) hours sitting at the end of the bar chatting with Trish (the bartender) or Donny (the owner), or any number of the regulars who inhabit this bar in the daylight hours. Always a pleasant atmosphere, well cooked food, daily specials, a large variety of cold beer, a good time to be had by all. The comment about the bathroom is right on the money; it's a bit cramped in there and I couldn't imagine dropping a deuce on that john...stage fright. All that said, it's a good bar with good service, try it out.
(4)Mark N.
Andy Gavin's is a quintessential local bar-restaurant. They have cold beer, good bartenders, and good consistant bar food. They have a well deserved following in the city for their service. A sign of the bar is that after you go more than 2 or 3 times you will not only know the owner, he will remember you when you say hi.

Once was enough -- never again. I went there with a party of four. The food seemed okay and whoever the daytime bartender was completely rocked. If that had been the end of our experience they would have gained four regular customers. Then there was a shift change and the bartender that took over was so rude we stopped ordering drinks. It was literally one of those times when a meal is completely ruined because everyone is so mortified at the behavior of the staff they're too embarrassed and uncomfortable to even speak. One of the worst experiences I've ever had at any establishment ever. One of my party actually wound up vomiting, but I don't know if it was from the food or the uncomfortable experience.

I went to the University back in the 90's and, while out of the way of the usual college bars, Andy Gavin's was always reliable for good food and drinks. Glad to report after 23 years it still doesn't disappoint. While an odd location across from the Lackawanna County jail, a good reminder not to drink and drive! Went for a lunch and a few beers with an old friend and while it did take about 10 minutes for the bartender to get to us at a high top (no server on until 4), once she came our way she was attentive for the rest of our visit. The wings are still great, but the fresh homemade potato chips were AWESOME! We got them with simple salt and pepper and YUM!!! Also had a chicken wrap that was really good and came with plain chips, also great! So, to recap, two appetizers, two sandwiches, all very good, and 4 beers for a whopping $40! The only thing keeping it from a 5th star was that, at 4pm, the music came on and made conversation impossible.

I love this little corner bar! Drinks are a great price, the outdoor seating is fantastic and the food is good too. The only thing that keeps it from 5 stars is the service is patchy, but as long as the food is good and the drinks are cheap I can over look that.
(4)nunzio p.
