“ AJ slick band was awesome.def will be back based on that alone. Good drinks. The owner of the bar or her husband are usually there. They welcome everyone, and they treat their entertainment very well. It's the home of the peep show, and the counter at the bar, is filled with Penny's. A great place to grab a drink, see live entertainment. There's never any trouble,and also you can have a few drinks, without breaking the bank. End of the day, they are good to the locals and the community, but also welcome new faces. ”
“ Had a great live band. ”
“ Best bar, never long wait for a beer, best servers always a great time in this dive bar ”
“ Listen, Pennies sometimes gets a bad rap, perhaps from days past. It's a workingman's tavern. It's not a 4 star restaurant, nor does it pretend to be. Good music, good drinks, good crowd, and the security keeps things in check. So, for a place to have a good drink, with a decent beer selection....one of my favorite spots in the Northeast. ”
“ I won't lie it's not the nicest place in the world but the drinks are affordable the majority of the clientele are decent and the service is amazing. You need to try the world's famous PEEP SHOW show named the owner peepers. It tastes amazing and will hit you like a brick shithouse after one or two. They recently renovated the place the bathrooms were horrible before but whoever did that construction work didn't a Quick & EXCELLENT JOB ;) Lastly the bar counter was redone with all pennies that looks absolutely stunning whoever thought of that is a genius. ”
“ I love this place, only been twice, but it's been so much fun each time. Very friendly folks which, I admit, I didn't expect given we are not from the hood. Bartenders are very nice! ”
“ Great place to hang out, shoot pool, see old friends, make new friends, see live performances and definitely a great place to watch the Eagles and All Philly teams. I've been going there since the 90's. ”
“ Love that bar everybody is so friendly and so nice especially Leo greatest bartender in Philadelphia!! Love you man! ”
