15 Scranton Restaurants and Bars Referenced on ‘The Office’ | Eater Philly

"This bar is perhaps the most iconic one from “The Office” and a regular hangout for the gang. Though its real-life inspiration is in Scranton and attached to a bowling alley, scenes from the bar were shot at Pickwick’s Pub in Woodland Hills, California." - Missy Frederick

I am huge The Office fan and the ladies at the bar were so sweet when I told them I was! Even took a photo of my husband and I at the sign. Got the That's what she said drink and souvenir cup. What a great time and experience!

Had to stop by Poor Richard’s Pub - because, well, The Office. Grabbed a couple of drinks, and to our surprise, they had live music! The vibe was great, the drinks were solid, and it was just so fun to be there. Definitely a must-visit for any Office fan!

Love going here! Wings are awesome! Great variety of flavors and are just cooked to perfection! French fries with cheese and gravy are just mouth watering. Ordered some peel-and-eat shrimp, which were large shrimp and very good. Service was great and prices are reasonable. Atmosphere is relaxing. Went during the week and got there kind of later in the evening. Wasn’t busy at all and the food came out very, very quickly. Really enjoyed the experience and look forward to our next visit!

To buy food or drink you "HAVE" to spend ten dollars minimum to use a card. In 2025. Service horrible for nothing to offer. So they want to tax you for the purchase after the federal and state tax. So I walked over to McDonald's and brought other food in. And next Tuesday I'll do the same, if any problem comes up I'm calling the cops first.

Very casual but fun! This place is located within the bowling alley building. You walk in the doors and it’ll be to your right. I got a delicious basic burger and a side of mozzarella sticks. I had a drink or two, just some seltzer. My bf had a beer. The place was just as amazing as it was on The Office! Loved the vibe!

Food was great & reasonably priced. Bartender was laid back & kind. Stopped because I am a huge Office fan, wasn't disappointed

Great servers who will chat it up with ya, cold drinks and priced reasonably. Juke box, SiriusXM or live music keeps the place bumping. If you’re looking for something to do whip some balls in the alley next door, or they have breast VLC machines in the bar aha.

On the walk over from the mural, my buddy says "is that it? looks like a dump." He wasnt wrong. Inside a bowling alley, super crappy, but has office regalia. The shirts they sell were best part. Disappointed

Restaurant that promotes local beer, cognac pierogis and The Office Memorabilia. 5 stars because it's a good bar food and drink place regardless of the history. One bartender for the whole place so service could get slow (that's what she said-the bartender). Souvenir glasses, growlers, t-shirts and sweaters.

Absolute gem of a venue, especially if you love the office! It's in a bowling alley and is so unassuming, but you walk in and immediately feel like you're in a neighborhood joint. Bartender was funny and polite. I got the house chips and my husband got mozzarella sticks. Really exciting to see a place with cheap food (both together cost us 6 dollars!) that was actually delicious. I could have eaten two more plates of chips. The drinks were also well made and we got some Poor Richard's swag to bring home We ended up coming back at night we liked it so much and it was clearly a popular spot. This is an absolute must on a Scranton adventure

Had the Friar Tuck Original hoagie. It was actually pretty good. Bar tender was very friendly. A few ppl in the place on a Wednesday night. Very cold beer. Food was great. I'd come back.

If I could give 0 stars I would. The two women Courtney and Debbie are very unprofessional. I came with a party of 4 and we were ignored the whole time at the bar. And told about the drink prices after they realized I ordered top shelf liquor. Debbie has a chip on her shoulder for whatever reason. Courtney has a smart mouth. But it's not for the non Caucasian customers. Never been at a bar where it's empty and the two workers purposely avoid "certain" customers.

Bartender was not rude but not friendly either. Generous portion of cheese fries. Watered down soda. Worst chicken wings I have ever had in my life.

Grabbed a bite after the bowling tournament last week while the DJ was mid-spin and the ladies were in party mode. We were grabbing drinks all night, bartenders and server that was running for the lanes were both friendly and helpful. The food took longer than I would have hoped. There was only one cook on, but one other table ordered before us and then us, and we only got a burger and their "house special" sandwich. Aside from having to wait, I can say that I was pleasantly surprised and this was a quality burger for a bowling alley. It was cooked well, the toppings were fresh, there was a toasted brioche bun, and the fries were crispy but not overcooked. The burger itself was a typical frozen patty but I didn't expect anything more so it worked out just fine. When hungry at the lanes, I'd absolutely grab food here again.

Came for The Office reference and stayed for the staff and energy! Was a little embarrassed to be here just because of the office but felt beyond welcomed and glad we went!

Poor Richard's Pub gets a solid 4 stars for being part of television history and this fangirl could not have been happier to be there in person. It's not exactly where they filmed the scenes (which was most likely a bar in the Burbank area), but it looks like what you expect it will. Biggest surprise is that it's inside the bowling alley. We had the pizza, which was okay. It does have slow service, so be patient. If you venture into the bowling alley you'll spot some signed bowling pins from Angela Kinsey and Brian Baumgartner (Kevin). You gotta go if you're in Scranton, ya know?

The food was OK but the Office memorabilia was over the top cool. It's not that large so you may want to come early. It's attached to the bowling alley.

Fast service, went after dinner while in town to see the office attractions. We ordered the funnel fries, and my goodness I think I can confidently say that Stanley would stand in line for them with the same enthusiasm as on Pretzel Day. They're that good!

Ok so let me start this with I LOVE THE OFFICE! So when I had the opportunity to stop in the city the inspired this amazing show, I'm definitely taking it! And what would an office trip be without a trip to the famous Poor Richard's Bar? Let me warn you that it is in a bowling alley which can be confusing. Also, this is a bar that is not centered around the office. Yes it looks like the bar in the show and they have some pictures of Steve Carell and all that, but it is still a bar. I saw many low reviews for this place, but I think some have forgotten it is first and foremost a bar. We had some pickle fries (which are literally pickles sliced as fries and fried!) and some wings! It was delicious! I'm always a sucker for bar food and this didn't disappoint! Also they have a drink called "That's what she said" and it is DELICIOUS!! It's the girliest and most Michael Scott drink I've ever had! Highly recommend this place for your Office pilgrimage!

If you're a fan of The Office, do not waste your time here at this pub, or Scranton in general. You will be disappointed. There is no liveliness, unfortunately. The opening hours are not correct online and so much time was wasted on our road trip just to be told "the kitchen does not open until 5pm". Service was not friendly.

Location was kinda hidden, they did have an "The Office" themed drink and a souvenir cup. The bartender was ok but seemed kind over the office thing. Wouldn't suggest other the the obligatory visit if you're on the tour.

I LOVE the office and we detoured a good 15 min out of the way, on the way to Philadelphia, bypassing other Office landmarks that we could've seen, because...let's face it, this is probably the most iconic. The problem is, outside of the chalkboard looking sign in front, there's no real reason to come here...other than to say you were there. We looked online and it said the place opened at 4, had a dining area and the reviews weren't bad. We then looked at the menu and figured it'd be good for us and the kids. We arrived to a bowling alley in a dumpy area of town (at least around the alley it is). Saw no sign of it, this is a fail for the alley and Poor Richards. We hid our valuables and went in. It's 4:35 and there's no hostess immediately seen. The bar tender, a short, white haired guy behind the bar, with tattoos that just couldn't really care less. Finally he says "kitchen isn't open till 5." I scramble to think about what we're going to do because we detoured a bit on our way to Philly after driving all day. He says "you could go to the game room in alley and come back". So we go to the alley and let the kids bowl a few games. The alley was pretty nice and the kids had a blast. We go back to PR after playing a game. It's 5:30 at this point. We do the same thing, stand there waiting. There's more people at the bar and the same bartender says "you have to seat yourselves." Ok, no problem...but no menus. So we get menus off the guy and sit. We figure out what we want and I notice only the bartender and another guy who looks like a kitchen worker are there. The bartender, after awhile tips us off "you have to order at the bar, we don't have a wait staff." Because of these unknowns it's around 6 now and other people at the bar who came in after us ordered food. Well, that put us 3rd or 4th in line, for their sole kitchen worker. My wife and I kept it simple (for speeds sake, we needed to go and we'd already burned 1.5 hours, I mean who goes to Scranton for a vacation?). We ordered BLTs and a small cheese pizza, at the bar, for the kids. We get 4 drinks in plastic cups, that we serve to ourselves, from the bar, lol. Another 45 min to an hour went by. Kids are really antsy at this point and we're all starving. Food comes out, sandwiches in baskets and pizza on a tray. We're from buffalo, so we don't eat sandwiches or pizza with silverware but our 3 year old asked us to cut the pizza a bit smaller. We go back up to the bar, ask for silverware. No response he just walks into the back and gives us one of those bagged plastic knife fork things...yah! It's got a napkin in it sealed in it too! Now we're cooking! Sandwiches were good, it's a BLT but my autistic daughter wanted some and she noticed congealed gooey stuff in the waves of the bacon so she wouldn't eat that. This was after the pizza came out and when I tell you my daughter LOVES pizza, she loves it. She's 5 and limited verbal and not picky with pizza at all but she said "I don't like it" in a very panic'd voice. This is really unusual for her. We had some bagged up strawberries for her in a cooler, I get them for her. We eat and I'm a fat kid who loves pizza, so I decide to help my 3 year old (who eats anything) polish off the rest of the pizza. It quickly becomes apparent to my wife and I why our pizza loving daughter wouldn't eat it, let alone hated the smell of it. They cheese on the pizza was AMERICAN CHEESE! Who does that? It has to be the worst pizza I've ever had. If you ever come to buffalo, it's joked that our gas station pizza is better than your best pizza place's pizza, but I've traveled everywhere and have had a lot of pizza (from Vegas to Washington State). Long story short, this place is a dive bar. They should stick to just serving booze. It's not a bad place but it's dark and you can still smell the smoke coming through the wood and paint from when they still allowed smoking. It's really not worth running out of the way for unless you're younger, don't have kids and have all the time in the world to waste. It's funny because the show kinda gives the same vibe. Like that it's not a great place but if it's convenient and you're depressed, go there. But hey, I can say I went there now. All I got was a lousy shirt (they were out of the color I wanted)...and a photo.

Came as a tourist excited to see the bar from the office! Looked a little sketchy from the outside, and we were a bit confused because we didn't realize it was actually in the bowling alley We were definitely pleasantly surprised on the inside with the incredibly friendly staff and delicious food!!! We ordered a philly cheese steak, sweet potato fries and a beyond burger, and all were amazing!! Cute merch for sale as well! Would definitely recommend, but make sure to lock your car in the park

I'm not sure if I have ever seen worse service. Huge office fans so when my girlfriend and I were driving through the area we got excited about Poor Richards Pub, on the drive we got really excited for the food after looking at the menu. When we got there we waited at the bar for 5 minutes before a passing by waitress said sit wherever, we then proceeded to wait for maybe 25 minutes during which another couple came in 10 minutes after us and was helped at the table next to us. We ended up walking out after not getting helped. Just don't waste your time here.

I only had a brief visit here, but feel in love. This bar is on the self guided walking tour of the show The Office. It is located in the South Side bowling alley. As I was taking a picture with the sign in front I was greeted by a family member of one of the owners. I did not get her name but she was awesome. She took me inside the bar and showed me the memorabilia they had there. She took my picture with the sign and with the suit of armor statue in the bar. She then showed my autographed pictures and the Dundie Award that was featured on the show. The bar loves to see visitors that are also fames of the show. The welcomed me with open arms and were very proud of their memorabilia of the show. This is definitely a must see and I have heard that they have excellent food and drinks options, and at reasonable prices.

Nice place. Pretty casual and low-key bar in the bowling alley. They have a few office references but not many. It's a bit disappointing if you're a fan of the show and want to visit one of the most highly mentioned places from the Office. I wish they had a few more things for Office fans. Other than that it's not a bad bar. They have a lot of great options for fries.

Wings, pickle chips and premium margarita. We went early and really enjoyed the experience. DJ at the bar was great.

Poor Richards strikes a bell for every Office fan out there.. But it's still a place to go for the good people of Scranton. Of course the reason I was drawn to stop here on a road trip up north was due to its role that it played in the office. I did my research before coming in so I wouldn't be clueless about the place. It's what Yelp is for. We were lucky enough to be stopping in on wing night so that was a plus. Make sure to keep an eye out for their specials! The wings were tasty and the beer was cold and went down easy. We kept it low key while we were there but we noticed the dundie on the shelf. Of course we wanted to try and get our hands on it. We asked the bartender if he wouldn't mind could we see it. He lets us not only see the award but also another artifact from the show that was signed. Pretty cool!

Came here as a stop on our Scranton The Office tour. A must stop, stop. It is mentioned in the show many times. It's not a stand alone. It's in a bowling alley. But it doesn't have a bowling alley feel. Poor Richard's is it's own being. The food is fantastic and the wait staff is attentive and awesome. Davina was super awesome. Small amount of The Office memorabilia behind he bar. Nice to check out. I came here with my fiancé/wife specifically because of The Office. And Poor Richard's did not disappoint. We will be coming back when we return to Scranton.

We made a quick overnight trip to Scranton for the sole purpose of visiting some sites from The Office. The highlight was Poor Richards due to the wonderful employee there we encountered. We made it a point to show up right after opening at 5pm so we wouldn't disturb them while they were busy. We wanted to buy some Poor Richards t-shirts and see The Office memorabilia we've read that they have at the bar. The gentleman that worked there was so kind, showed us all the items and talked to us for a bit and was patient while we picked out our t-shirts. It was such a pleasant experience!! Thank you for taking the time with us, we truly appreciate it!! If you're visiting Scranton for The Office I highly recommend stopping by Poor Richards!

Stopped in Scranton on the way to a weekend of festivities. I am a huge office nerd and I just HAD to check out Poor Richards Pub... which did not disappoint. The bartender was super friendly (short guy with a silver Mohawk and sweet tattoos). He even showed me the office memorabilia the bar had (like a signed photo from the whole cast, a Dundie, Vance Refrigeration magnet, and a stock certificate). It was awesome learning about the history and stories behind the office and PRB. Beers are ice cold, staff is awesome, and the food was phenomenal (get the chicken parm sandwich wth curly fries!). If you want a quiet, cozy bar with great service as you take a walk down nostalgia lane... this is your bar!

The worse service I ever had. Bartender was slow and extremely rude. The food was terrible dollar store like. Food took 45 mins for just fries and grilled cheese. Took 30 mins to even get service. Would never go again. Its shame they get the advertising from the show the office because it was awful.

Party of 4 - 3/9/19 8:00-9:30 pm I'm a huge The Office fan so I wanted to love it. So disappointed! We waited an hour and a half for our appetizers and food (we all ordered the special so it should have been quick) only to be told by the waitress that their stove was broken. All we ever got was our drinks and four rolls. Ended up having to eat at Wendy's.

The review regarding the silver mohawk guy is totally true!! haha, JUST KIDDING. This place was great - really loved the bartender and had a great time. He suggested we order the food from the bowling alley since the bar kitchen was closed (12pm Saturday) and we were hesitant but it was seriously amazing!! Hoagie, burger, fries, onion rings. Yum Yum - REALLY! We bought 4 Office Shirts, Koozie's and had a beer. It was fun! Definitely worth the visit!

Never in my life have I left a bar in tears. The way we were treated was absolutely appalling, and if this is how their service is on a regular basis, it's a shame. When we walked in, there was no one else there. We were not acknowledged at all, so we sat ourselves at a table. No one brought us menu's or said a word to us. After we asked for menus, we waited at the table at least 10 minutes before having to get up to go to the bar and place our order. The waiter did not ask if we wanted drinks or anything, so my boyfriend walked back over to the bar to order drinks and the waitress looked right at him and walked away, without a word. When part of our order was ready (the order was messed up, also), the waiter walked out and mumbled that the rest would be out and set my plate on the bar. I had to get up and walk over to the bar MULTIPLE times to get our food. After a few bites, we just asked for boxes and took our food home. While we were there, other people came in and the waiter and waitress were friendly with them. The only difference was the color of skin, and that's extremely upsetting to see. I would absolutely not recommend this bar, nor will I ever be returning.

So I came here on business, well the area and this has always been on my bucket list due to being an Office fan. I expected more, maybe actually look like it did in the show? But all in all maybe it did in years past when The Office was in its prime. They had 4 or 5 pieces of artifacts from the show which was cool to see. The atmosphere is quiet, low lighting and kind of dead. I will say the wings were good, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The bartender was nice. All in all I won't be back, glad to say I came and saw Poor Richards. Just don't get your hopes up when you arrive, it's in a crappy bowling alley but it's Scranton, the electric city.

Went bowling with a bunch of friends. decided to go inside and get a pitcher of miller lite beer. it was $13. the bartender was the nastiest most miserable human being alive. he claimed he gave us one plastic cup but he never did. we asked for one he said yeah i did and started slamming his hand on the counter. continuously yelling go and "find your cup bc i'm not giving you another one". after that remark we said we will no longer be paying for the pitcher and walked out. we continued bowling and this bartender came over to our bowling table looking to see if we had an extra cup. (which we did not) it's sad this bar lost out on a lot of money and made our bowling experience at idle hours horrible.

I frequent this place with my coworkers at Dunder Mifflin. We've been coming to this place after work for years. We've played arcade games here, watched our commercial on their tv, watched our show The Office air for the first time at this bar. Many memories here. Does not disappoint.

Was looking for a Sports Bar in Scranton that aired the AL Wild Card playoff with sound. Found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. It's a dive bar within a bowling alley. Not anything glamorous but they aired the game and the sound, which has been a rarity in Scranton. Simple beer list and food menu is typical pub fare. Tried the wings and was pleasantly surprised. Great flavors and you can mix the sauces; I did honey mustard with hot and they came out great. Don't expect much from this place and you'll be okay.

Great pub atmosphere....attentive bartender. I had cheese steak hoagie which was great....hot and full of meat....Plus, it happened to be wing night...Tuesday & Thursday....tasty and meaty, great price. This is a great, comfortable place to relax.

Obviously the main reason my boyfriend and I stopped here was because of The Office, but before I talk about that I want to review this place with out the influence (and excitement) of The Office. We were on our way to New York State and stopped by here around 10/10:30 pm. It was a Thursday when we visited and it was wing night! That means 1/2 off wings!! I'm a sucker for a good wing deal. Anyway, they offer 3 flavors: buffalo, BBQ, and garlic Parmesan (maybe another one but I do not remember it). My boyfriend got buffalo and I got BBQ. The wings were large, juicy, and cooked perfectly! Personally, I didn't fully enjoy the BBQ flavor. It was more tangy than sweet (I like sweeter BBQ). The buffalo was delicious! If I ever go back I'll 100% get that flavor! The bar tender gave us both ranch instead of a blue cheese. The cook (who I think was the owner) came out and was super super friendly!! In another review a warning was given for the bartender with silver hair in a "Mohawk" style. They said he was rude, but while he was our bartender he wasn't outgoing, but was still decent! I didn't think he was rude but he wasn't the most outgoing. He was a little slow with drink orders but he was the only working so understandable! More on him when I talk about The Office experience! Anyway, it is located in a bowling alley so be prepared for what you are looking for, and the beer selection is limited but at a great price! Now for The Office people. THIS WAS GREAT! Don't get your hopes up too much but if you go in and appreciate it for what it is you will be filled with joy. When we walked in we didn't make a big deal about being fans. Then when we paid we were nervous to ask the bartender if we could take a picture with the Dundie but he gave it to us. He also said "If you think that is good I've got something better for you!". He then gave us a Vance refrigeration magnet with 2 cast signatures to take a picture with!! It was GREAT!! Worth the stop for sure. We had great food, friendly staff, and got to check one place off of The Office!!

There was a minor disturbance created by a warehouse worker from a local paper company who was upset about some other guy kissing his ex-fiance. The staff handled it well though. However, it was a good pub atmosphere with food to match. I was only passing through, but would come here on a regular basis if I lived here. (Non-"The Office" people, I'm only kidding about the disturbance)

Walked into the bar with my older brother who was above 21. Automatically got ID which is understandable since it was a bar, but got TOLD that I was not allowed to be in the bar while being under 21, but there was a child roughly 8 years of age running around the bar. I thought that was weird and didn't want to make a scene, so I decided to message the Facebook profile which I provided the message log below. Absolutely terrible service and rude. Will never go back again. The gentleman was an older guy bald with glasses

Visited Scranton when we were passing through on a road trip. As Office nerds we had to visit this place. The bartender was amazing and talked all about the area and the office. The locals were great and even bought us a drink. I cannot stress how cool this place is and how friendly the bartender was. He really made our trip memorable and anytime we are in Scranton we will make sure we stop by. Ain't no party like a Scranton Party!

We decided to take a weekend trip to Scranton from Boston as we're huge office fans. We stopped at several locations while we were here, the Steamtown mall, (make sure you check out coopers for an office gift shop), Coopers seafood and of course Poor Richards. The bar itself is actually located next to a bowling alley, but it did not disappoint. Although the show was not filmed at this location, you could immediately see the resemblance. Our bartender Jeff, (the badass tattooed dude with a silver Mohawk) was sure to hook us up with plenty of Dunder Mifflin memorabilia. The drinks and food themselves were great as well. I ordered wings extra hot, and they met all expectations. Was great to see the bruins win 6-2 as well. If you're an office fan in the area, or just a local looking to check out a new bar, we'd highly recommend Poor Richards!!!

Awesome staff, great environment! Came to this pub because of The Office, and was not disappointed! The bartender was really nice and even broke out some Office memorabilia for me to fangirl over! 10/10 recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Food was awesome, bartender mixes a mean Long Island!

Great and reasonably priced bar food. Rating at 4 stars because service is incredibly slow so be prepared to wait. We're a very patient group but the bartender showed no urgency to get drink refills/provide checks.

This is the place to go if you wanna get bombed, play darts, karaoke once a week, see some freaky characters of south side, and think you are in a time warp all at the same time. Not your scene? Get drunk and go bowling then go to McDonald's across the street.

It's OK. Average low end bar. not a great selection of beer, bottom of the shelf liquor. don't go here because you heard of it on the office. it looks nothing like the show. But you can get a pitcher of beer and bring it out to your lane. if you want to spend $40 to bowl for an hour that is.

My husband I were visiting from western PA. We wanted to karaoke and saw Poor Richard's advertisement. Well, the karaoke people showed up at 8:20pm...10 minutes before they were to start, and they needed to set up. My husb saw the "Honey Do" person and mentioned about doing a song, but her attitude was 'you come see me'...so we did, and we both sang a song each. So, they were there about 15 minutes, and she took a DJ break to eat dinner! Really? You stop running karaoke to eat? My husband runs karaoke...apparently there's a different work ethic in Western PA. We were the only two to sing up to that point, and when "Honey Do" finished eating, she didn't even talk to the crowd about coming up and singing...she just stood there and watched her computer. What a waste of time. Oh dinner was pretty good; wait staff good...that's why 3 stars. "Honey Do Karaoke"....1 star

Ok ok...I'm a big fan of the hit show, The Office. I was driving through Scranton so I thought I should visit. I stopped by on a saturday; the place was full but not crowded. The beer selection has your typical domestics but great pricing -$2 drafts! Also, take note that this place is CASH ONLY! I ordered a Yuengling and some Hot Wings (also a nice price $5) and decide to hang out a little while...and that's when the Karaoke Country music began! Yikes!!! Fans of The Office, swing by have a "been there, done that" beer but expect to be rather disappointed...Jim and Dwight do not hang here, Jed and Cletus do.

This is a friendly "towny" bar that has decent food and cheap drinks. The staff is always nice and have a good time with their customers. Yes this is the bar from "the office," but the bar shouldn't be based off this tv show.. If you go with those expectations, you will be dissappointed. However, if you go with expectations for a relaxed and wuiet bar with prettty good food and service, you will exceed those expectations.

Of course as being AWESOME 'The Office' fans, my girlfriend and I had to make an appearance in Scranton, PA! Our experience was a little on the up and down side. First of all, the food in Scranton is grrreat! Hoagies are the way to go and the prices are pretty cheap for what you get. So this is what happened....First the place is a little hard to find as its in a bowling alley w/ no signs outside. Once we figured it out the bartender was ok, not too friendly, even after we told him we were out-of-towners. We placed our order...45mins later, no food!! Apparently he forgot to put our order in. So he offered us 2 free drinks (1 each). I asked if instead we could just do a pitcher being that we waited for so long. He agreed. The food came out and was deilsh. When we were done, the check came and this turd charged us for a small pitcher when he made us believe that he was giving us the pitcher instead of the two drinks. Unhappy w/ the service we were not too pleased with the whole experience. Make a stop there if you like 'The Office', but don't expect good service.

Poor Richard's is located in a land that time forget. Cramped inside a mostly empty bowling alley, their food is slightly below average, the prices are good, and the bartender wonders why you bothered to come by (out loud). The fame from The Office has long passed, and now only bored regulars go there, plus the occasional road trip traveler (like me), who shows up with higher expectations than I should have had. It's cool to be able to check-in at Poor Richard's, but that's about the only positive. My recommendations would be to stop in, have one drink, and then leave. You'll get to say you went, but won't waste much time at what was probably a really nice place, a long, long time ago.
