“The Office” star Brian Baumgartner teased a visit to Scranton on his Instagram page today.
The actor, who played Kevin on the long-running, Scranton-set comedy, shared a throwback photo of him and some of his co-stars behind the bar at Backyard Ale House, 523 Linden St., in downtown Scranton. The photo was snapped during “The Office” Wrap Party in May 2013.
“Such fond memories,” Baumgartner wrote. “I’m doing it I’ve decided I am detouring from NYC to Scranton and will see you tomorrow night! #Ain’tNoParty #Scranton2020”
Baumgartner will be at Cooper’s Seafood House, 701 N. Washington Ave., on Thursday night before heading to Backyard Ale House around 9. No time was announced for the Cooper’s visit. The restaurant posted on Facebook that it could confirm Baumgartner would eat dinner there but that it could not provide a time, take reservations or guarantee guests would meet him.
