They make a great Manhattan here. Also a nice selection of brews. I spent most of my time at a party downstairs and it was nice and comfortable . Staff was great and prices very reasonably. Hit it up!

Ben Gasparini

This is one of those places. You know the places you go when you are an intern in the city and you want to meet someone else in their 20s to spend the night with. After that it wears off..

James Park

My favorite restaurant . The buffalo chicken salad is amazing, especially because of their peeled celery and carrots as a topper. The steak salad 's great too. Actually, everything here is effing great.

Their lunch special is extremely generous and delicious. Really enjoyed it. Sit outside and have a drink.

My go to lunch place when I am in the area! Great lunch deals and beer selection . Order the chicken sandwich with chipotle mayo - you won’t regret it.

The Corcoran Group

A fratty and crowded bar by night. We prefer to come here on a lazy Sunday afternoon for their $6 sangria special.

Hi Everyone, looking for somewhere in the East Village to enjoy a delicious lunch today ? Why not join us at The Penny Farthing. There's lots of tasty options on our menu! 11am-4pm :)

Victoria Natenzon

A classic. Fun at night out with friends, but gets very crowded . I've also gone during the day when it's less packed for a beer and played charades with friends :)

Rachel R

Curly fries are tasty and a great value for only $5 per huge serving. Great spot to watch games; several large TVs throughout the dining area.

RDW

people actually wait in line for this spot at night, HA, but good spot, pretty decent food, large bar , lots of people having fun, and always a broad to be had, good size too Read more

The Festive Anthropologist

Amy is such a breath of fresh air in an isle of glib servers. Trust her food recs, and enjoy a very welcome "I'm not from here" attitude that results in hand written recs to other venues.

Maurisse Johnson

Good place for after work drinks especially if its nice outside. Watch your tabs at the bar , they've been known for adding drinks to your tab if you're in a large group thinking you won't notice.

Julia Monti

Happy hour wines are $5 and a very healthy pour. Good after work crowd and good place to dance on the weekends.

I've been here for brunch and it's really yummy. I like the decor of the place too. Their challah French toast is awesome.

BoozeMenus

The Penny Farthing has a great draft beer selection , go for the Goose Island ($7), but if beers not your thing there also a decent selection of inexpensive wines – try the Martin Codax Albarino .) Read more

Ebis Les

The food is great in here. Try the steak salad , or the skirt steak and for breakfast try the steak and eggs . Love the steak here. really cool bar tenders. Also has a great party on weekends.

Kevin Rickert

Buffalo Mac & Cheese is delicious. They have a good beer selection . It could get very crowded during peak hours.

Joanne Reinard

Crowded but huge place. Sit at the bar if it's just for drinks or have to order something to eat to have a table...as usual. Wine is good

Frank Fayer

Dope spot. Always a great time. A lot of room upstairs and down, and downstairs can be fun when they turn the lights off.

Octane

This place can get pretty crowded on the weekends. If you can't get to the bar , there's another one downstairs that may save you time.

Erik Michielsen

Burger is fantastic. Pair with waffle fries . $11.

Becky Case

This might have been a great bar if I were still in college, had no respect for myself, was attracted to douchebags , and enjoyed drunk sweaty men shoving me around all night.

London Nagai

People say it's a bro bar...people are right...that being said, I have been here many times..sorry I'm not sorry

Andy Pascal

Always show love to Zack and/or John at the door - great peeps.

Wonderful Tuna salad for lunch ! Gluten free and delicious!!

Brad Gerick

It's a bar . With a heavily wooden decor. And a modest beer selection . A nice fall-back, I suppose. (Didn't order food.)

Daniel Shaw

A free drink with your (affordable ) bunch, can't complain about that.

Jenn Day
