Always show love to Zack and/or John at the door - great peeps.
Robin Taylor RothAugust 23, 2014Very high (almost excruciating!) noise level, because there are no absorbing surfaces.
ashley mckinnonApril 1, 2011So much fun to go with a bunch of friends, drinks are cheap and music is always great!
Do yourself a favor and get the spinach & artichoke dip with extra chips.
The go to nighttime outting for those in college and just out of college. If that's not what you're looking for, beware.
The downstairs bar is much easier to get drinks at!
John PaterakisMay 27, 2015It's a cavernous space, so it takes a *lot* of people before it feels crowded.
A free drink with your (affordable) bunch, can't complain about that.
The Penny FarthingMarch 8, 2015Happy International Women's Day to all the lovely ladies in our lives! Come and raise a glass at The Penny Farthing today! :)- The Penny FarthingFebruary 10, 2015Happy Hour at The Penny today! 4-8pm. 40-50% off Beer, wine & Well Drinks! :)
They usually pour an extra size of wine for you, good practice
London NagaiAugust 24, 2014People say it's a bro bar...people are right...that being said, I have been here many times..sorry I'm not sorryUpvoted 4 weeks ago
Barry HottJanuary 28, 2011Outstanding burger: juicy and delicious. Best lunch burger option in the area.
Sit outside and enjoy the mussels, crab cakes and a cocktail perfect!
Becky CaseOctober 7, 2012This might have been a great bar if I were still in college, had no respect for myself, was attracted to douchebags, and enjoyed drunk sweaty men shoving me around all night.
Campbell BirdOctober 12, 2014This place seems like it's pretty nice, except for the fact that it's actually douche-central.
During Santacon, they didn't allow Santas of any kind. Only fratty brahs here.
Nicky K.August 19, 2014There's nothing special about this place but it's a big step up from the frattiest east village bars and restaurants.
You should probably have a drink here. Bonus: Eat here too.
Zara ZJune 12, 2011Beware, contact wearers: the jets of cool air downstairs will dry out your lenses and make your life a bit uncomfortable.
Paul GalliganAugust 5, 2010Calamari is great even better on the second one thanks to the boss. Good hospitality.
Megan GemOctober 6, 2013Way too crowded with the wrong kinda people. They have multiple security guards acting like its a club telling you where you can and cannot stand. Better places in the neighborhood, I won't be back.
