Things to do in NEPA tonight

Figuring out what's actually open tonight shouldn't require six Google searches. Here's how to use this site for tonight's plans — and some picks that hold up on short notice.

Start with "Open tonight" and "Right now"

Every listing on the site carries real evening hours. Use the "Open tonight" filter to see which venues have listed hours for this evening, and the "Right now" toggle to narrow that down to what's open at this very moment. The time-of-day filter also has an Evening (6–10pm) bucket and a Late night (10pm+) bucket, plus a weeknight-late toggle if you're not doing the weekend thing. A practical warning: venue hours change more often than websites get updated. If a night out depends on it — last entry, a showtime, a kitchen closing — call ahead.

Evening picks across the region

• Wise Crackers Comedy Club (Wilkes-Barre) — stand-up Friday and Saturday nights, doors 8pm, show 9pm, 21+
• Chacko's Family Bowling Center (Wilkes-Barre) — 40 lanes with glow bowling Friday and Saturday nights
• Sergei's LIVE (Scranton) — live bands and late-night DJs till 2am
• Valley Bowling Lanes (Carbondale) — cosmic bowling Fri & Sat 8pm–1am with AR-projection lanes
• The V-Spot Bar (Scranton) — live music four nights a week, karaoke Sundays

Late night & night-owl options

After 10pm your options narrow, but the good ones hold up. Mohegan Pennsylvania in Wilkes-Barre is open 24 hours — the gaming floor plus late bars under one roof — and The Mines downtown does three levels of DJs and themed nights. Up in the Poconos, Mount Airy Casino Resort also runs around the clock with live acts. All casino venues are 21+, so keep the IDs handy.
