From a 1917 shoeshine stand to a 24-hour Pottsville landmark.
The original Coney Island was established in 1917 on Centre Street in the downtown district of Pottsville, Pennsylvania — the social center of Schuylkill County's bountiful anthracite coal region. Today's Pottsville home, just a couple miles up the road, serves the same family recipe across a tavern, drive-thru, patio, fire pit, and the new tiki bar — open every hour of every day.
— Now Open —
New tiki bar.
Same Coney tradition.
Out back behind the tavern: thatched-roof umbrellas, carved tiki masks, tropical pours, fire pit on cool nights, and live music when it's warm. Same Pottsville tavern hospitality — just with sunshine and a margarita.
