North Valley Tavern

Nestled on North Valley Avenue in the heart of Olyphant, Pennsylvania, North Valley Tavern blends a rustic tavern vibe with a modern small‑plates menu. Guests are greeted by exposed brick walls, warm amber lighting, and a polished wood bar that showcases a rotating selection of hard‑to‑find craft beers from breweries such as Other Half, WeldWerks, St. Bernardus and Delirium. The kitchen shines with the signature North Valley Special wood‑fire flatbread, topped with caramelized onions, smoked mozzarella and a drizzle of rosemary‑infused olive oil. Seasonal small plates—think roasted pepper‑stuffed mushrooms, house‑made chorizo bites, and rotating soups—invite sharing, while crisp salads and hearty seasonal plates keep the menu fresh year round. Whiskey enthusiasts will appreciate a curated list that spans everyday bourbons, rare rye expressions, and a handful of Scotch selections, perfect for sipping at the bar’s intimate high‑top tables. Open for Sunday brunch from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the tavern shifts to dinner service Wednesday through Thursday (4 p.m.–11 p.m.) and Friday through Saturday (4 p.m.–12 a.m.), remaining closed Monday and Tuesday. Prices hover between $10 and $25 per dish, offering great value for the quality and atmosphere. Located just minutes from Route 6 and the Lackawanna River, the tavern is a convenient stop for locals after work and travelers exploring the Scranton‑Wilkes‑Barre corridor. Whether you’re hunting a rare draft, a comforting flatbread, or a quiet whiskey night, North Valley Tavern delivers a welcoming, lively experience.
