Some People have said that The Banshee is a place of magic, that it is haunted, others say there is poetry in the air, but what most people believe is that it is a truly a pub like no other.

 Look Around the great bar, well over 50 feet long, the book shelves, the benches, tables all made from wood salvaged from this old building in Scranton all make up a piece of  the history of this place.

Look At The People, there are a lot of interesting stories to be told. Each item on the wall tells a tale, along with a warm handshake or the easy eye of a stranger. These are what make up the feeling of contentment when you enter. The love and the hard work that went into creating The Banshee has resulted in a pub which fosters good relations, good conversation, and a grand ol' time.

So if you see the old man dressed in black sitting in a snug, or a young girl climbing the stairs to the second floor, take ease in your knowledge that you are not alone in your sighting, and know that they mean you no harm. They are only looking to share in the atmosphere of The Banshee, and besides, they were here first!

The NY Times called us an "authentic irish pub"- We have hosted Gerry Adams, the Wolfe Tones, members of the Saw Doctors, David McCullough, Jason Miller, Senator Bob Casey and we are a favorite pub of two terrific contempory authors Christopher Hopper and  Wayne Batson, and many others I didn't mention but are no less appreciated.
 

Banshee

"The Banshee is an old-fashioned Irish pub with good food and drink. Many college students hang out here, but locals also frequent it. It's the best place to be on St. Patrick's Day. Great food and live music! "
