First time here, me and some friends came from St. Louis and honestly I absolutely loved our waiter. He really took care of us especially with this being our first stop here I absolutely LOVED everything about it. I had the Papa Doble Daiquiri and the French 45 for happy hour at 2. Also had there hummus Absolutely delicious. Plus the French fries were thick and GREAT!!!! OH MY GOD. THE BEST FRIES I've HAD. 10/10

We called ahead on a busy Saturday night and they had a table reserved for us with waters ready. Very nice. Wait staff was attentive and knowledgeable about the food. Food was great too! I got the red snapper. We'll be back!

We came for brunch, specifically, but the Pressed Penny does an amazing job of taking you as you are, just a lil fancy without being pretentious, just a lil casual without being divey, super friendly staff and the most DELICIOUS food I've had in a while!! Definitely a new favorite diamond in the rough to take people to!!

Had a very nice brunch here a while back. We went in to watch a soccer match and stayed for breakfast, the food was great and came quick. Cute small tavern, recommend!

We went here for a weekend, to see the Chefs game, it was also our anniversary weekend, and we ate like locals! The food here was absolutely amazing, delicious and all-around yummy. The chicken wings and the charcuterie board- don’t forget the tomato basil soup with grilled cheese! 10 stars . Sat at the table top, and just people watched. It was such a great time, thank you to our host Scott and our waiter.

Chelsea welcomed us with a smile and intricate knowledge of the food and bar menu - even their new seasonal specials. The kid (18!) had the Tavern Burger, Medium (they’re very thick patties and are fabulously juicy beef) and fries, with all the condiments on the side. As always the wife and I shared - so we got the Fish and Chips and the Rubin (they make their own corned beef and it’s good). Of course I had a Guinness, and Nataliya had their renowned Grand Bloody, Bloody Mary - she “loved the fabulously fantastic toppings, including shrimp and bacon and more!” Absolutely had a phenomenal time on a great Friday night wasn’t very crowded, yet (we went early)!! * highly recommend!*
