User Reviews for William Penn Tavern

4 Star Rating: Recommended

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

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

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

The William Penn Tavern is nice. Also the Food is AMAZING! At the Wpt there are many nice tv as well as two megatouch's and a dart board. It is nice to get a girl late at night and the people there are very nice.

This is a great bar and I frequent it quite often. Very good bar food-I always get a burger b/c they have "white american" cheese and while the sandwiches do not come with fries, a side order is enough for 2 or 3. I have never gotten fries that did not taste like they came right out of the fryer. Hot and delicious! Beer selection is good. If there is a drink special then the prices are great, otherwise okay. Specials tend to be the traditional Miller Lite or Yuengling which is unoriginal but better than nothing. Crowded on the weekends but not unbearably so. The back tiki area is a nice change of pace. Crowd is 20 somethings but happy hour tends to be less "upscale"--I have gotten creeped out once or twice by highly intoxicated middle aged men. Bartenders and staff are approachable and competent.

Pros: Bar Food, Atmosphere, Back Patio
