Nice place for drinks/food. The burger I had looked and tasted good, the fries were good too. The staf was friendly and the overall vibe is pretty cool. It was quite noisy, so keep that in mind if you’re looking for a calm place to drink/eat.

DJ on 2/14/25 sucked. Used to be a great bar but bad DJ’s ruin everything- go to Yuca bar or literally anywhere else. Also they water down shots yikes

French toast during brunch is outstanding!

There's a giant sign on the wall that says "Wednesdays all day -- $5 espresso martinis". So i ordered one. The bartender says "we don't do that anymore". I asked why. He said "the deal stops at 10pm". That's not what your giant menu on the wall says. He says "the menu is outdated". Uhh, then take it down. Lying to your customers is not cool.

I used to love going to this place for their Happy Hour deals. Unfortunately, they changed their policy out of nowhere (despite failing to update their advertising), so they shouldn’t expect any more of my business. Unhappy happy hour, unfortunately.

In addition, they were also hounding my table to leave for an incoming reservation with no prior heads-up as for the 90-minute limit, despite discussing a 2-hour period for my business event.

It felt like Murray Hill - location hosted a bunch of meetups. Sports bar - would have enjoyed something quieter since I went for a networking event

Penny Farthing is a good place to watch sports in this area, thanks to its lively atmosphere and plenty of screens. The food is generally mediocre. It offers a mix of dishes but falls short with its salmon. While it was cooked perfectly, the portion was disappointingly tiny—definitely not suitable for anyone with a hearty appetite like me.
If you’re looking for a satisfying meal, I would recommend sticking to traditional bar food. The atmosphere is great for a casual night out, but for those expecting a filling dinner, the salmon might leave you wanting more. Overall, it’s best to enjoy the classics here rather than venturing into the seafood offerings. To top it off, our server dropped off the check right as we started our dessert, which felt rushed. If you go, try the wings—they're the highlight of the menu.

I hosted my birthday party in their private room & it was amazing. Everyone was so kind and accommodating! They made hosting an event seamless & fun. I definitely recommend having your next event here!!!!!

We really like going here when we visit NYC. Our local friends took us to brunch here, now we have a goto place if we are in the part of town.

Went in to watch LSU football. Sat at the bar. Service was great. All the waitresses and bartenders were super friendly. The service was phenomenal. Cute little dive place. We did not eat but the food looked good.
