A scoop of coconut rum ice cream is a fine way to begin a downtown Wilkes-Barre outing, but Boozy B’s makes a strong case for not stopping at one flavor. This is a colorful, adults-only dessert shop where ice cream comes thick and creamy, with liquor worked into the recipe rather than poured on as an afterthought.
The flavors can sound like a dare from a particularly cheerful bartender: mango-pineapple tequila, peach bourbon, peanut butter tequila, pumpkin cheesecake spiced rum and chocolate whiskey have all appeared on the menu. Yet the shop is not built around blasting the palate with alcohol. In some flavors the boozy note is more pronounced; in others, it sits quietly behind the fruit, chocolate, spice or cream.
Start With a Four-Flavor Flight
The four-flavor flight is the best introduction to Boozy B’s range. It gives one person a chance to compare several ideas in a single sitting, and it is an easy order for two people to share while deciding which flavor deserves a full serving next time.
That matters here because the menu has room for both familiar comfort and more unusual combinations. Cookies and cream and mint offer recognizable ground, while a berry-and-peanut-butter raspberry flavor brings fruit and nutty richness together. Peanut butter tequila may sound like the wild card, but it has been a memorable choice for visitors willing to take the menu at its word.
Coconut heads in a tropical direction, while apple sorbet has the crisp, autumnal appeal its name suggests. Lemony Smurfberry adds another playful option, and seasonal pumpkin cheesecake provides a dessert-first route into the spiced-rum side of the case.
Individual servings, doubles and pints are also available, so a visit does not have to become a full tasting project. Still, the flight suits the place: a little social, a little curious, and nicely adapted to a menu that changes with the season.
More Than a Scoop Shop
Ice cream is the center of the operation, but it is not the whole menu. Boozy B’s also has ice cream cakes, floats, cocktails, jello shots and chocolate-covered strawberries, giving a group several ways to approach dessert.
A boozy float has a more celebratory, sit-down-with-a-drink feel than a cone. Chocolate-covered strawberries take the opposite route—simple, familiar and just a little dressed up. Wine-based frozen creations and other special items have also appeared, especially around seasonal menus and events.
That mix makes the shop useful for more than a quick after-dinner stop. A couple can split a flight, somebody can choose a cocktail or float, and the person who simply wants a sweet bite can go straight for a strawberry.
A Small, Bright Downtown Stop
Boozy B’s sits in downtown Wilkes-Barre in a smaller shop setting, with roughly four or five tables. It works best as a compact dessert stop rather than a long, sprawling evening in a large dining room.
The room is colorful and playful, with a coordinated color scheme and upbeat music helping keep the mood light. It has the sort of backdrop that invites a quick photo before the ice cream starts melting, and it has also been used for product photography.
Friendly help at the counter is especially useful when a flavor list includes tequila, bourbon, rum and whiskey in unexpected combinations. Asking about the current case is sensible, since flavors rotate and some selections can sell out.
When the Shop Gets Themed
Boozy B’s has also made room for occasional special events, including Wizarding Weekend and Harry Potter-themed programming. Those outings have brought a different layer of theatricality to the dessert case and drink menu.
Wizarding-themed treats have included chocolate frogs, a smoking witch’s brew, jello shots and collectible shot glasses. Some special-event programming has also included themed drinks and ice cream alongside multiple vendors, turning a regular dessert stop into a more elaborate downtown outing.
These are occasional additions rather than everyday fixtures, but they fit the shop’s playful spirit. The seasonal flavor changes offer another reason not to assume a repeat visit will look exactly like the first.
A Note Before You Go
Boozy B’s is for adults 21 and older, not a standard family ice-cream shop. The alcohol-infused focus is central to the visit, even when a particular flavor tastes more like cheesecake, fruit or chocolate than a cocktail.
Parking options around an event visit have included paid lots and paid street parking. With limited tables and a changing flavor lineup, the most useful plan is simply to arrive ready to choose from what is in the case that day.
