Editorial Review for William Penn Tavern – by Kristy M. Graver
The Scene
William Penn Tavern bills itself as "eclectic." The place may have all the trappings of a jock hangout--dart boards, a foosball table, video poker machines, loudly televised games, and plenty of Steelers memorablia--but it doesn't ooze machismo. And since it's in touch with its feminine side, this joint has batted 1000 with everyone from football fanatics to Walnut Street shoppers since its 2002 inaugural season. The bar itself is small and sometimes crowded, but ample seating is available throughout. Clink bottles at one of the long tables or snuggle with your date on a small perch by the window.
The Draw
You don't have to sacrifice quality to eat cheaply. Tantalizing smells wafting from the kitchen announce some of the best pub fare around: burgers, sandwiches, nachos, salads and various deep fried appetizers. The bartenders can refill your beer glass faster than you can holler, "Touchdown!"

bar maids are very friendly, and attentive. food is great, especially the wings and the quesadilla. mixed drinks are too expensive for the small glass that they use. you gotta get there early to get a seat., I would say between 7:30- 8:00.
Pros: food is great
Cons: glasses to small

This bar is awful. I have been giving them chances for the last six months. I have come to expect a bar with very little standing room, and about a 95:5 man to woman ratio, and poor service. I was recently shorted 10$ by a male bartender (12/29/07). Bars like this should be held to the same standards as San Francisco back alleys. For 15$ or more all you see is men and you leave with a bad taste in your mouth.
Pros: gay men in Lacoste, popped collar and hair with product
Cons: gay men in Lacoste, popped collar and hair with product
