Farley's Eatery & Pub was a restaurant in downtown Scranton, Pennsylvania, United States, and was considered a staple of Scrantonian culinary culture. Farley's promoted itself as having "the best steak and seafood in downtown Scranton." Farley's Eatery & Pub closed in 2012 after 30 years of business.
In recent times, it garnered fame from being mentioned on television series The Office. The series, set in Scranton, made reference to the restaurant in a 2005 episode in which the loser of an office warehouse basketball game buys dinner from the pub. Actor Steve Carell, who portrays Michael Scott in the NBC sitcom, allegedly told reporters he would personally fly to Scranton to "cut the ribbon" if Farley's were to place a "Michael Scott Burger" on their menu. The burger was later added.
Actor Jason Miller died of a heart attack in the restaurant on May 13, 2001.
