Twelve Penny Saloon

Great people, Drink Prices, Food, Very Clean (even the bathrooms), music and lighting is up to date. Friendly staff Had one of the best times ever this past Sat. night. The bar is also gay own, a big plus in my book. Not like the other bar in W/​B.

Great place, good people, inexpensive, friendly staff. A great place to chill out with friends and have a drink

This week I went to the 12 Penny for the first time in several years, the place was remodeled and looks great, the owners and bartenders are fantastic, there is a mixed crowd of all different ages and the place is very clean including the restrooms. I just wish the place wasn’t as smokey or had a better exhaust system for cigarette smoke

I would say this bar is good. I would never rate any gay bar a 5. The owner is very friendly. The people there are not really friendly, but then again, what gay people are. The club side is only open on friday and saturday night. Saturday and wednesdays are the only days that the club is full. Other than that. it’s pretty quiet. I go there time and time again. There are fights there a lot. Jeleousy. If you are hot, then dont expect people to be nice to you.

So much fun here! All the guys are so nice the music is great and it’s just a good time no matter what. The only thing I hate is the cigarette smoke

Where did I just go to?!? There was no music playing, they didn’t take credit cards, their ATM was down. Not my favorite gay spot hangout. I’m from out of town and I can definitely say that I will remember this place but not because I loved it, but because I have no idea where I just stepped into.

Moosic, PA is a very small blue collar coal mining town near Scranton. Nestled among the beautiful mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania’s Anthracite coal region. Who would have ever guessed that an upscale gay bar and dance club would be located here?
The 12 Penny Saloon is discreet, there is almost no signage outside. Once inside you’ll find a very attractively decorated bar that is clean, comfortable and has good service and reasonable prices. There is a dance club and even a piano bar upstairs (although I’m told that is not often open). There is a room with a pool table. The best part is that it attracts a diverse crowd, both younger and middle-​aged, men and women, the staff is friendly, and everyone has a good time. I would like to add that the place is community involved and hosted a gay pride event for the local LGBT Pride Week festivities.

Returned to the Twelve-​Penny after a three-​year hiatus More nice people, the GPS did get it right this time, same old muddy parking lot. Great music and as usual, the club made it a point to publicize the advent of the DC gang to Pennsyltucky as a grand happening, so the place was full of both gay, lesbian and straight couples looking for a great time dancing and having fun.
The one thing I noticed after a long absence, is that as we have all become accustomed to the cigarette ban in all DC, New York and Philadelphia establishments, the cigarette stench was overpowering and obnoxious. For such a nice locale, I wish they could have a designated smoking area where they keep the doors closed and the rest of us can breathe. After returning to my hotel room, we had to put our clothes in a sealed plastic bag and even then, I had to vacuum my car and ventilate it to get rid of the cigarette stench.
But as bars go, this was a super place.

Take me to the gay bar, gay bar… Apres ski after Sno Mountain/​Montage Mountain.

I’ll give this place three starts only because it’s there. :-) The place is definately unsuspecting on the outside and does not resemble a gay bar except for the small rainbow in the window. I was there on a Saturday night and that seems to be the night to go! The place was quite packed; definately a selection of cute boys! There’s a nice size dance floor and a few pool tables up front I believe too. Drinks were moderately priced and service was quick at the bar in the back. The only down side is that Pennsyltucky hasn’t caught up with modern times and hasn’t outlawed smoking in bars. Air circulation in the back room wasn’t the greatest and it got smoky.
