About The Refinery
The Spotlight on The Refinery

Stylish American Dining with a Local Twist

Located inside the Mohegan Sun Pocono complex in Pittston, The Refinery offers a modern yet relaxed dining experience that’s perfect for concert-goers. With a focus on classic American cuisine served in a sleek, contemporary space, it’s a great spot to fuel up before a night of music. Think elevated pub fare, seasonal ingredients, and a polished bar scene — all just a short drive from major venues in Wilkes-Barre and Scranton.

Why Concert-goers love it

With its convenient location and swift, attentive service, The Refinery is a go-to for pre-show meals. The menu is designed for flexibility — whether you're in the mood for a quick burger or a more refined steak and seafood dinner. Guests note that the vibe strikes the right balance between lively and intimate, so you can enjoy conversation without yelling over the music. Plus, it’s part of a casino resort, so there’s plenty to do before or after your show.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun, energetic spot to gather before the show
  • Solo travelers grabbing a quick bite before a big act
  • Couples enjoying a romantic weekend getaway with a concert on the side
  • Fans who love a buzzing atmosphere and good food before the music starts
  • Budget-conscious music lovers — happy hour deals and shareable plates help stretch your dollar

What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable praise The Refinery’s friendly staff, consistent food quality, and modern yet cozy setting. Many guests appreciate the variety on the menu — from hearty entrées like grilled ribeye to lighter salads and flatbreads. The cocktails also get a thumbs-up, especially for those looking for a pre-show sip. One reviewer called it “a hidden gem with big city flavor.”

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that wait times can be a bit long during peak hours, especially on major event nights. A few also mention that while the food is delicious, it leans a little pricier than your average pub — but most agree it's worth it for the quality and experience.

The Bottom Line

The Refinery is a stylish and convenient spot to enjoy great food, drinks, and atmosphere before heading out to your concert — all without straying far from the night's entertainment.
