About Breaker Brewing Company
The Spotlight on Breaker Brewing Company

Craft Beer, Cozy Vibes, and Pre-Show Energy

Breaker Brewing Company is a laid-back, locally loved brewery located in a restored schoolhouse in Wilkes-Barre, just a short drive from major concert venues like the Mohegan Sun Arena. With its rustic-industrial charm, exposed brick walls, and warm wood accents, the atmosphere is equal parts welcoming and cool. The brewery is known for its rotating lineup of small-batch craft beers and a menu of elevated pub favorites, from pierogies and wings to gourmet burgers and flatbreads.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate Breaker Brewing Company for its casual, no-stress vibe and its ability to serve up delicious food and drinks quickly—ideal when you're on a schedule. Its location makes it a convenient stop before or after a show, and the ambient noise level strikes a great balance—lively enough to feel fun, but not so loud you can’t chat. With plenty of seating and a large bar area, it’s a solid option for groups or spontaneous meetups.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to share some flights and appetizers before heading to a show
  • Solo travelers wanting a friendly bar with plenty of character
  • Couples making a night of it with great food and locally brewed beers
  • Fans seeking a lively pre-show space to gear up for the main event
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality food and drinks

What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable love the creative beer selection, especially the IPAs and seasonal brews. The food gets high marks for being both flavorful and filling, with standouts like the pulled pork nachos and the pierogi pizza. Guests also praise the friendly, knowledgeable staff and the unique setting in a repurposed school building, which adds a quirky charm. Many note it's a great place to relax before heading to a show.

Areas for Improvement

While the brewery is a hit with most guests, some mention the parking lot can fill up quickly, especially on event nights. Others note that weekend wait times can be a bit longer, so arriving early is a smart move if you’re on a tight concert schedule.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a fun, flavorful, and unfussy spot to kick off your concert night, Breaker Brewing Company is a top pick in Wilkes-Barre.
