About Cork Bar & Restaurant

An American themed restaurant with a great patio area and dining room. Bar seating is also available. Great dinner menu and cocktail menu

Cork Bar & Restaurant is an american restaurant in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. It is listed at 463 Madison St, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18705, which places it among the local businesses of Wilkes-Barre that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as bar, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Because this group is broad, judging a listing on freshness, turnover and how consistent recent reviews are tends to work better than judging by decor or price range alone. Most kitchens in Wilkes-Barre will adjust a dish for common dietary needs like gluten-free or vegetarian if you ask when ordering. Hours vary widely: diners and fast-food chains often stay open late or around the clock, while bakeries and cafes tend to open early and close mid-afternoon. Catering and food delivery businesses in Pennsylvania usually require advance notice, from a day for a small order up to a week or more for a large event, so it is worth contacting them early.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. On most of those days it is open 3–9 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (570) 270-3818. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is corkdining.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Customers rate it 4.7 out of 5 on Google across 1,601 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded american restaurants in Wilkes-Barre.

Wilkes-Barre is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Wilkes-Barre follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Grazia was phenomenal! Attentive and knowledgable about the menu. So friendly and engaging as well. We weren’t sure where to enter and she caught us and guided us in. Phenomenal part of cork! The food was also incredible. I have yet to find a meal a don’t love. The drinks are wonderful too - the cosmo is consistent and delicious!

I wish I lived here because I would definitely be here 3 to 4 nights a week

From the outside this place is very unassuming and would be easy to miss. Especially since we were not locals to the area. We were in the Wilkes Barre/Scranton area for a hockey game so we went here before the game. If you are looking for a nice atmosphere and quiet meal get the upstairs area. Our service was fantastic and the food was even better. From appetizer to main entrees everything was A+. Our server, Justin, was professional, helpful and made great recommendations that were very much appreciated. If I were to give one negative critique is it's not the biggest place. That's not their fault. We got there at a time that wasn't as busy. However, it might be wise to make reservations especially if you go on a weekend evening. Glad we gave it a chance and really happy we did. Great job by all.

Food was very good and drinks were especially well made, and the service was super attentive and friendly throughout our visit. That said, the lobster noodle dish felt overpriced for what was served. The portion of lobster was relatively small, and the dish didn’t quite match the $49 price point. Would recommend this place overall if you are in the area!

We had such fun! Loved the masks and beads, a super neat touch! The food was amazing. And the drinks were perfectly paired. I think my favorite dish of the night was jambalaya followed by the beignets. We especially want to give a big shout out to our wonderful, witty, friendly server Denise! She really took care of us!

My daughter and I made a reservation at the bar for cocktails and dinner (Fri 12/19) and we were not disappointed! They have a great Happy Hour specials menu on cocktails as well as small plates. The bar area was cozy and Caitlin was so friendly and really made our night out so enjoyable! She is so personable, offered detailed descriptions of menu items and her cocktails were fantastic!! We both chose the French Onion soup and it was probably the best we've ever had. We also both chose the special for the night: a pan seared black infused filet with lobster truffle butter, topped with a red wine demi, served with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. It was AMAZING! We also shared the fried pickles from the happy hour menu, also delicious.

Stumbled upon this hidden gem when looking for a place for dinner on a work trip. Our incredibly knowledgeable server Jake walked us through the menu and its highlights. From our appetizer to entree to dessert we were blown away. The beautifully fresh Ahi Tuna with pineapple salsa and seaweed salad was the perfect start. The Short Rib with Gorgonzola risotto was perfectly tender and balanced well with the flavorful risotto. We loved the Mediterranean Pork Loin with feta and mint risotto. And finished strong with a heavenly slice of Tiramisu. Denise our bartender was super sweet and added to the cheery atmosphere. This place is a must visit if you’re in Wilkes-Barre.
