A pretty decent (yet finicky) jukebox, solid selection of beers, cozy atmosphere and great service even on a busy night made The Bog pretty okay in my book. The bartender who waited on me had an awesome memory for the list of beers I threw at him, and he even took my request for an Irish coffee without batting an eye. Come to think of it, he also helped me with the jukebox when it ate my money; fixing it and becoming my Saturday night superhero. I'd like to give The Bog another look with more sober eyes, regardless. I'll definitely return.

Great staff and even better bathroom. I love how they remodeled the bathroom but left the remnants of the old one by leaving all the graffiti-ish marks on the door. I went there last night while everyone was drinking and getting rowdy and I was able to get a coffee. The coffee was great! So much fun whether you are a hipster or not.

Great spot! Reminds me of being in Brooklyn. Great beer selection, great prices and overall great neighborhood feel. If you're looking for a spot to just chill this is it.

One of the three bars in Scranton I like! I'm a fancy-drinking lady when I do drink ( which is rare ), and the Bog has my beloved St-Germain, Lambic, and sometimes, Cointreau! They also have many beers and do special vintage cocktail nights. I used to love it here more in like 2007-08, but I rarely go out in Scranton anymore. Still, good, hipster-y crowd - though I hate it when the U kids and the dudebros visit. The jukebox rules. Panked! dance parties are really good. Staff is super-nice. Small bar, seating at a premium. Nice decor. Art hangs on the walls - most of it is pretty cool :)

Pre Saint Patrick's day Friday go to. Good beer, very reasonably priced. Narrow bar, but lots of friendly patrons (probably regulars) who were friendly enough to let me skooch in next to them to order rounds. Five people drinking, and every round was less than $20. Bagpiper parade - extra bonus. Wish every day was Saint Patrick's Day at the Bog.

Cool bar with a good beer selection, but the space is small with limited seating. Stopped in on a thursday night and it was pretty crowded. Its the type of a bar I'd stop at for a beer to start or finish the night, but probably not spend an evening here. I was very impressed with the number of beers on tap for such a small establishment. The sound system could use a major upgrade as all I could hear was the heavy beat of the bass speaker which was at floor level and none of the other speakers which were mounted way over head.

The bartender asked me for an ID. After looking at my valid drivers license he asked me for other forms of identification. I provided him with two debit cards (they both have my name on them). He told me that I don't look my age. I responded by saying that I found that offensive. He told me to get a drink elsewhere. I will never spend a penny at this establishment.

If you don't normally go there, don't bother going. Going in there makes you feel like you walked into a private bar. Not that it is high class by any means, it's that you are an outsider, you don't belong there.

Probably my second bar option downtown. They have a surprisingly solid selection of craft/micros on draft. The crowd is fun, definitely a mix of different personalities. The biggest negative is that it can get crowded pretty quickly due to it's small size. It can be a very long wait for a drink since I've usually only seen two bartenders working, even on the weekends. If you don't get there before 10 or so, you don't have a great chance of getting a seat, if that matters to you.

This place is great. This was the last stop on our bar crawl and the most memorable. If I lived closer to Scranton,The Bog would be my bar of choice. It's such a quaint, non-stereotypical bar. It's not exactly the hot-spot of downtown Scranton, but it's only a hop, skip, and a jump away! The Bog reminds me of a hole in the wall. It's skinny, yet goes back pretty far. When this place gets packed, it's hard to go from one end to the other.

I walked into the Bog and the original Dawn of the Dead (1979) was on the TV. Ok.... I was extremely impressed with that alone and decided to stay for a drink. I looked around to scope out the clientele. College kids galore. It isn't necessarily a bad thing. I like to think that younger adults in college bring more culture to Scranton. Lets face it... Scranton needs to be introduced to the outside world. Burst the bubble. When going to a new establishment I usually order a mixed beverage first to test the bartender's "generosity". The gin and tonic was a little weak, but worth the money I paid. The beer selection was ok, nothing that really stood out. The music selection on the jukebox was ok. There were a few older songs that I haven't heard in a while that had my foot tapping. Apparently there are local bands that play. Unfortunately I didn't catch any that night, but its always a good thing to support local bands. The Bog is probably my favorite bar in Scranton. I'd go back if I'm in the neighborhood.

This is my first choice when going to a bar in Scranton. A big wooden bar reminiscent of The Saloon is WB (another great place). The Bog just has an intangible atmoshpere that is pleasant to hang in. NO club crowd, or anything wild, great beers on tap and a great - not so ordinary - jukebox. I have been going to the Bog on/off for years. It has morphed from an irish pub to an artsy ecclectic hangout for all kinds of people.

I get mad at this place a lot. I miss the old bar. the old benches were great (long wood benches ran the length of the wall with old wood tables. it use to be a real pub.). The added 20 taps in the past, hmmm it must be over a year now. as apposed to the 5 taps they use to have (2 were Guinness). So the taps are great! great draft and beer selection. one of the best in the city, 3rd best to be exact. the pros- they have local bands play there a lot, best open mic in NEPA, when there is no band, there is no cover (unlike many other Scranton bars), they host a ton of great events. Brian, one of the owners, is a great guy, as well as the rest of the staff. Great juke box, and cheap beer. the cons: they recently (past few months) added a flat screen TV. now don't get me wrong, i love TV, and i love big flat screens, i want a bigger one myself, but The Bog is not a flat screen kind of place (run on). It often makes the bar way to bright. the bar is normally perfectly dark and cozy, then BAM the TV brightens up the whole place and you are blind. they cleaned up the place as i said earlier, removing some of the old great character the bar had. now there are a lot more U kids there bringing shinny shirts, loud talking, and complaining that they don't have The right beer. side bar: IT'S THE BOG! THEY HAVE EVERYTHING! DON'T COMPLAIN THEY DON'T HAVE YOU CHEAP BEER! THEY HAVE PBR! (sorry) there are still a ton of great locals that go there all the time, but many have moved on. My theory is there are now to many U kids (the reason i go there less often) All in all, this is a great bar, and my favorite in the city. you'll meet some great people there, may be punch a U kid in the face, or have some crazy drunk kid steal your hat then smash a pint glass. Never a dull moment!

My favorite bar in Scranton, hands down. Great atmosphere, great jukebox, good beer selection. Brian Craig, one of the owners is very cool, very friendly to all the customers. As a bonus, they have Spenny from Kenny vs Spenny as a regular bartender. Would recommend the Bog to anyone(unless you listen to Nickelback or Lady Gaga or some other terrible music. In that case, stay home).

There's really not a lot bad that you can say about The Bog. To me, it's more of what I think an Irish pub should look like than the "other" Irish pubs downtown. It's located on the hippest block in the downtown, which is growing to be the arts scene in Scranton. Nearby is the Test Pattern theatre, a used record store, a Thai restaurant and various other interesting establishments. On a typical night, I'd say that you're going to walk in to a dimly lit, small pub. You're going to hear some really great music playing from the jukebox, anything from Johnny Cash to The Greatful Dead to Tom Waits. The bartenders are extremely friendly as will be most everyone in the bar. It's a great place to just hang out. You're not really going to find anyone there trying to start a fight, or anything, just have a good time. Some nights, there may be a live band on the small stage. There's a good selection of micro and import brews. It's definitely the place to be during the St. Patrick's Day festivities because of it's central location to everything and of course, it's an Irish bar. So, if you are reading this because you are visiting Scranton, or new to Scranton, or even live in Scranton, but have never been to The Bog, I definitely recommend checking it out.

Not fancy, but not a dive. Good crowd. Good prices. Good place.

Great beer selection, great music, great staff, friendly patrons. I don't know what else to say about this place. It has a rich tradition of supporting the local arts community and is the kind of place you can go without needing a reason AND they were smoke-free by choice even before the ban -- which is a good thing considering it can get really packed on weekends, which is the only time I really don't enjoy being there.
