The lowdown
The windowless front room of Dynaco seems almost impractically dim, but give it a few minutes and your eyes adjust to the subtle glow of the small candle lights. A string of holiday lights, a back-lit bar, and soft light from hanging colored-glass sconces complement the bar’s Poconos-cabin cozy, relaxed vibe. In the smaller back room, curtained off with a wall of stacked retro speakers, you’ll find the bar’s sole window, and imbibers orbiting around a wood burner that draws a crowd in the winter. There’s no cocktail list, but the friendly bartender will whip up a classic cocktail and offer a complimentary snack bowl of Goldfish. Slices of cake are available, what may compete for the title of city’s Best Chocolate Cake in a Dive Bar, courtesy of the owner’s wife. Make sure to have cash on hand or make use of their ATM on location.
