The food was delicious, and there were plenty of fun games to choose from! The music was quite loud, making it a bit difficult to have conversations with others, but that’s to be expected.
Great selection of pinball machines in good repair, most doing 3 credits for $2. No one had keys for stuck balls though.
This restaurant offers an extensive variety of beers, featuring what is likely the largest selection of sour beers I've come across in the state. The staff is fantastic, and the food is excellent as well. Plus, there are some entertaining arcade games to enjoy!
This place was a lot of fun. Clean and thought through. The wings were delicious and the atmosphere was great. A little loud. The only complaint is that some of the games didn’t work and I lost some quarters figuring that out. Other than that it was great.
Bartari offers a unique blend of arcade games and a casual dining experience, making it an attractive spot for group outings and date nights. While patrons rave about the delicious food and engaging atmosphere—highlighted by an impressive beer selection and classic pinball machines—service inconsistencies tarnish the experience. Reviews reveal complaints of long wait times, order mix-ups, and distant staff. Despite these drawbacks, many enjoyed the tasty offerings and the nostalgic vibe of the arcade. For those seeking entertainment alongside their meal, Bartari remains a noteworthy destination, albeit with some caveats regarding service efficiency.

My friends and I went there not that long ago. The games they have are fun if you're into them. The food is delicious as well. The drinks are alright, tastes different everytime and the service is really slow. We went on a Sunday brunch and there wasn't a lot of people there. We ended up cleaning off our own table and all since there wasn't really anyone around. If we do see them, they are friendly.
Terrible experience. Went here for my friend’s birthday, and there were MAYBE 4 people working in the entire building. Waited an hour to place an order, had to give the waitress our order 2 more times, she brought maybe 1/4 of what we ordered before we decided to give up and ask for our check to leave (after 3 hours). We were handed a $350 dollar check with nothing of what we ordered. Our waitress had no clue what was going on, what we ordered, nor what we were actually served. No one was faultless either. Management clearly had no clue how many people they needed working in order to provide even mediocre service. My friends are a patient and understanding group. We would never make a fuss over bad service or an over-worked staff. But when we struggle to place an order, don’t get most of what we order, are charged for hundreds of dollars of things we didn’t order, and then are told we can’t even talk to a manager to sort out our tab so we can pay for what we actually ordered, I don’t think it’s so unreasonable to become frustrated. Based on our experience, I wouldn’t recommend Bartari to anyone, and would honestly probably discourage someone from coming here.
Good people, good times at Bartari. I grew up playing pinball in Scranton and hadn't returned in 35 years. Bartari was a pleasant surprise with its great beer selection. The menu, however, kept me from giving a full 5-star rating.
Our server was amazing! We never had to wait or ask for a drink. The beer and cocktail selection was excellent. The food was good; I tried the Ben Franklin pizza and enjoyed it—it was similar to a French bread pizza but made with a ciabatta roll. The pinball machines were all in perfect working condition.
This was our first time at Bartari, where we got a table for two and shared an amazing appetizer. We ordered the Philly cheesesteak fries, which were delicious and arrived quickly! We also enjoyed some special mixed drinks that were very well made. After hanging out for a while, we used the cash machine to get some cash and quarters to play the arcade games. We had a blast—Bartari is a fantastic spot for passing time when you’re bored or for a great first date. With just $20 in quarters, we enjoyed plenty of game time! Be sure to bring cash or quarters if you want to have fun. I highly recommend checking out Bartari’s menu and experience, even on a Friday evening—it wasn’t overcrowded. My only suggestion would be to add a second pool table!

A decent pinball arcade themed bar and grill that I would reccomend if you want a casual setting to catch up with a friend over a bowl of ramen and play some retro style games afterwards
We had such a great time! Great service, great food, great drinks. The kids had a ton of fun. Highly recommend for anyone.
I took my children and grandchildren to this restaurant, and we all had a wonderful experience, no matter our age. Our waiter was outstanding and showed great patience with our large group. The menu boasted a wide and interesting array of dishes, making it hard to pick just one. So, we decided to try a bit of everything, and everyone loved their choices. The highlight of our visit was definitely the arcade machines, which had nostalgic classics like Centipede, Asteroids, and Pac-Man, as well as many newer games. I was excited to find out that the machines still accept quarters!
Now, let’s discuss the games! They boast nearly every classic arcade title that made an impact in the '80s and '90s. Their pinball collection is truly outstanding, featuring a frequently updated selection of vintage machines. They even have unique games like Houdini, which remains the most challenging and impressive pinball game I've ever encountered. Although Houdini didn't last long, I appreciate their willingness to introduce something different. I could go on, but I should also highlight that their menu is excellent for bar food. My only minor complaint is that the fries can be a tad too salty. Overall, you're sure to have a fantastic time here!
This bar is absolutely fantastic, featuring a fantastic selection of vintage video games and incredible pinball machines. The food is also delicious! You can play games, enjoy tasty meals, and sip on beer, all in one place. They offer a wide variety of brews, and the service is outstanding. It's a lot of fun, all in one location!
