    I went for a happy hour event for a training class on a Wednesday night. I presume the crowd vibe is different than on the weekends. It seemed popular with other "work events" that day. It was a fun social activity!

    Super fun! Came here for happy hour, and had a good time. The beer selection was okay, nothing special and not a lot of local stuff. The venue was so cool, and we didn't even realize there was a whole downstairs before leaving, so we'd definitely plan on spending more time here in the future. Don't sit at the bar during happy hour unless you'd like to be just absolutely mobbed with people in your personal space.

    Very fun place to watch a sports game. Good drink prices. It can get really crowded and really loud, so just be prepared for that in case. Bar food is pretty much just bar food but their chicken poppers are tasty. They have arcade games like basketball and ping pong too

    Went here on a date. The games were okay but very crowded and couldn't always hear my date. I recommend starting in the dining area upstairs then going downstairs. Great place to watch sports games. Good closing time. The nachos were okay- came out kind of cold.

    Bad bar practices. I was over charged for my parties drinks. I asked for an itemized receipt and was ignored. Don't get me wrong the drinks and food were great but I can't give it higher than two stars for such horrible customer service. Edit 5-18-2019 Penn social reached out and was able to get this sorted all out. Everyone has bad days I know I for one have many. That's what my personal experience reflects was one bad instance in an otherwise wonderful establishment. Like I stated in my original review the food and drinks were never the issue only the customer service which has now been rectified.
