Let me just say that you come here for the atmosphere, not the food. Lots of fun memorabilia around and the bartender is quite the character. If you’re a fan of the show it’s worth taking the trip out here to have a pint. If you’re brave enough and don’t care about flavor, try the periogis.

Fans of The Office will delight in its fond pop-culture references and familiar atmosphere  . A friendly Yelp review puts it aptly:

Had to stop by Poor Richard’s Pub – because, well, The Office. Grabbed a couple of drinks, and to our surprise, they had live music! The vibe was great, the drinks were solid, and it was just so fun to be there. Definitely a must-visit for any Office fan!

Very casual but fun! This place is located within the bowling alley building. You walk in the doors and it’ll be to your right. I got a delicious basic burger and a side of mozzarella sticks. I had a drink or two, just some seltzer. My bf had a beer. The place was just as amazing as it was on The Office! Loved the vibe!

First time there. Jeff was tending bar. Really fun guy and a great asset. Service and atmosphere was great. The food I’m giving 5 stars but with the caveat that it is a bowling alley with a very small kitchen. Not gourmet but everything was well executed and top notch “bar food” I’ll say. If you need a bite and a cold one this place is great. On a side note I was actually quite pleased that they didn’t completely go all in on the office theme. It stands as an institution on its own and feels local and super friendly and not a tourist attraction.

We had 3 things off the menu and they were all DELICIOUS. Sweet potato fries, perogies, and Philly cheese steak egg rolls! So good, I wish we could go back. Besides that it’s The Office “hangout”, so glad we came because the food was top notch. Made with love. Cool place as well. The bartender was awesome.

Located at the front of the bowling alley, this spot is a great local bar and office themed spot. Grab a beer and t-shirt!

Service was really friendly and the beers were perfect.

Came here because I was in town for work for 3 weeks and took advantage of coming to Poor Richard’s being that I am a huge fan of The Office. Wasn’t expecting to be a repeat customer, but the staff being so awesome had me hooked! Debbie, Jeff, Courtney, and Tiffany, you’re all awesome. Hats off to the chefs as well! If I’m ever back in town again, I’ll be sure to stop in.

Such a great hole in the wall pub. Tiffany provided amazing service and we enjoyed her a lot. We came for The Office but stayed for the vibe. Everything was crazy cheap and the beers were ice cold.
