Diamond City Vault Bar & Grill

Casual Eats and Cold Drinks in the Heart of Wilkes-Barre

Diamond City Vault Bar & Grill is a laid-back, welcoming American-style bar and grill located right in downtown Wilkes-Barre. Just a short walk or drive from major music venues, this casual spot is perfect for a bite before or after a show. With exposed brick walls, craft beers on tap, and a friendly, no-frills atmosphere, it’s a go-to hangout for locals and visitors alike.

The menu leans into classic American comfort food—think burgers, wings, loaded fries, and hearty sandwiches—served in generous portions. Whether you're grabbing a quick pre-show meal or winding down post-concert, Diamond City Vault delivers solid food, cold drinks, and good vibes.

Why Concert-goers love it

Its close proximity to Wilkes-Barre’s popular venues makes it a convenient stop before your concert. The kitchen stays open late, and service is quick enough to get you back out the door in time for the opening act. The bar’s fun, music-loving crowd and energetic atmosphere make it a great spot to get pumped for the night ahead. Plus, it’s loud enough to be lively, but not so noisy that you can’t chat with your crew.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a lively pre-show hangout
• Solo travelers grabbing dinner before a bucket-list concert
• Couples wanting a no-pressure, fun dinner spot before a night of music
• Music fans who enjoy a local bar vibe with solid food

What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable highlight the friendly staff, tasty food, and casual, inviting atmosphere. Many love the full bar and the selection of local beers on tap. The wings and burgers get frequent shout-outs, and regulars appreciate the consistency and value. It’s the kind of place people return to again and again because it feels familiar and fun.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the decor is a bit dated, and during peak times, service can slow down a little. It’s not fancy dining—and it doesn’t try to be—but that’s part of the charm. If you're looking for upscale plating or quiet conversation, this might not be your scene.

The Bottom Line

Diamond City Vault Bar & Grill is a fun, unfussy choice for concert-goers who want good food, cold drinks, and a relaxed vibe just steps from the music.
