The Down Pour was established in November 2019 with a dream of creating an eclectic atmosphere for the people of downtown Wilkes-Barre.  A place designed for those who are willing to push the boundaries of the ordinary & escape. Ask for the umbrella room for a chance to dine under our take on a downpour.

    Great service. Food needs better presentation. Food was too much sauce. Drinks need to improve overall. Server was awesome. Most likely won’t return. This place is more for clout.

    Always a great time at Down Pour. We love the vibe, especially in the umbrella room. The foot, drinks & service were amazing.

    The restaurant is very large, but they put most guests in one crowded corner. We were a party of 4, but they put us at a small high top table. The food was better than average, but the shrimp on our po boys was rubbery. We would return, but would probably order something else.

    Service was average at best. Food was good, not great. I’ll give them another shot.

    Always a great experience at Down Pour. The server was friendly and attentive but got busy before we left. Otherwise, things were great!

    We were seated in the bar area which wasn’t what I expected . The website looks beautiful inside but didn’t know you had to ask to sit back in that area when I made the reservation. It was my anniversary. I excepted the dinner atmosphere to be a bit more romantic not a Friday night out . Also considering it was New Year’s Eve . The website looked like the restaurant was a nicer atmosphere for sit down dinning . . Not the bar area where there was football playing and sat by the front door where it was freezing . They were short staffed so service was very slow . The food wasn’t the best some things weren’t cooked enough yet some were over done . Wasn’t what I expected!!
