The Roost

Directions Website

The Roost Crafted with care and served with character, The Roost is Wellsboro’s Main Street spot for hearty food, bold flavors, cold drinks, and good company.

The Roost is so unique, you'll see something new and different each time you visit. Enjoy upscale pub food in a steampunk meets vintage, upcycled atmosphere. Try our cocktails, enjoy a wide beer selection, and choose from local wines. We offer several delicious menu items that use fresh ingredients from local farms.

🍂 The leaves aren't the only thing showing off in Wellsboro this fall!

The Roost has gone ahead and put autumn in a glass.

We're talking Pumpkin Brûlée Martinis with cinnamon-sugar rims, Banana Bread Old Fashioneds with warm, comforting flavors, and the Apple C***r Donut, complete with an actual c***r donut hole perched on the rim.

There's the Sugar Shanty Mule, made with local maple syrup from Miller's Purely Maple, right here in Wellsboro, and Done Raking Leaves for those who are fed up with fall yard work and prefer a cocktail instead of a yard rake. 😉

Rounding out the lineup are our Salted Caramel Apple Martini and Harvest Apple Margarita, two more reasons to raise a glass to fall!

Some are cozy. Some are a little indulgent. A few might make you forget you were supposed to be doing something productive today.

🍁 Fall flavors, creative cocktails, and a few very good reasons to pull up a seat.

Come see what we're pouring this weekend at The Roost in downtown Wellsboro!

Sometimes the best pictures of The Roost aren't taken by us. ❤️

We spotted this photo recently uploaded to our Google Business page by a guest, and it made us smile.

A table full of good food. A cold b**r. A window seat overlooking Main Street. Just a little snapshot of what we love about The Roost.

We spend a lot of time behind the scenes making everything happen, so it's pretty special to see our little corner of Wellsboro through someone else's eyes.

🥃 Bourbon lovers… we’ve got TWO reasons to be excited.

After being nearly impossible for us to get our hands on, Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon is FINALLY back at The Roost! 🙌

Supply is still extremely tight — we were limited to a two-bottle allocation for now — so when we say while it lasts, we really mean it.

Buffalo Trace is the flagship bourbon from the legendary Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. At 90 proof, it’s known for being smooth and balanced, with notes of vanilla, brown sugar, toffee, dark fruit, and warm spice. There’s a reason bourbon drinkers are always on the lookout for this one.

And right beside it is something brand new that we’re especially excited about…

🔥 Maker’s Mark Pennsylvania State Series — Limited Edition

This isn’t your everyday Maker’s Mark. It was created as a special wood-finished bourbon inspired by Pennsylvania, with a richer profile featuring caramelized sweetness, tart cherry, and bold spice.

Distinctly Maker’s. Unmistakably Pennsylvania. 🥃

Both are now behind the bar at The Roost.

Come enjoy a pour neat, on the rocks, or ask your bartender to make you something special — but if Buffalo Trace is the one you’ve been waiting for, don’t wait too long. We only got TWO bottles.

🥃 Buffalo Trace — finally back
🥃 Maker’s Mark Pennsylvania State Series — here for a limited time

🍺 CAN YOU POUR IT RIGHT?
🍸 CAN YOU CRAFT A DAMN GOOD COCKTAIL?

Good. We should probably talk.

The Roost is hiring an experienced bartender.

We’re looking for someone who gets faster when the bar gets busy — not flustered. Someone with hustle, personality, common sense, and the experience to know that great bartending is equal parts speed, hospitality, consistency, and attention to detail.

You should be able to make a proper cocktail, pour a proper b**r, take care of guests, keep your bar clean and stocked, work as part of a team, and handle a slammed Friday night without declaring a state of emergency.

Nights. Weekends. Holidays.
Because apparently that’s when people like to drink.

Think you belong behind our bar?

👉 Apply within or message The Roost with your work history and tell us a little about yourself.
