Still love this place, but we'll sample another of my old wing haunts the next few times we are in town before returning here. Too many good places to pass or just go to our favorite spot.

In response to comment: this review is strictly of your yelp page and the photos you provided NOT of the place itself --- i also don't want your customers to think this is the case of your physical location I want to come and check the lounge but the images provided seem to be geared more towards the male gaze rather than the location and products you offer. I was hoping to see more of the physical location so i can get an understanding of the ambiance and potentially suggest it to others. As I said, all of these women are absolutely beautiful and gorgeous. It just seems like there is a large over flow of focus on them rather than what this place has to offer.

The other patrons were friendly as well and were open for some pleasant conversation. There's some nice couches and seats with a big tv. It's the perfect place to take a friend or two and catch up with each other over a good drink and a nice cigar.

Jojo left and new owners are taking us back in a time to the original Donkey. Open merely a week and a limited menu, but I was only coming here for wings anyway. Got 10 mild and garlic parm boneless bites. The mild sauce would be considered hot anywhere else. Super tasty. Garlic parm was not overpowering and quite perfectly balanced. Highly recommend both. We also tried the chicken empanadas and they were super tasty along with the two dipping sauces. So glad this off the beaten path restaurant and bar has reopened. Can't wait to come back. I did come back 8/5 and had another amazing time on bite night. Delicious!

Our waitress and the hostess were very friendly and explained options to me, even confirming one item I accidentally ordered... not realizing it was missing the GF identifier on the menu, so I wouldn't be able to eat it. My meal was the salmon bowl with edamame succotash and it was absolutely delicious. The rest of our group had a caprese chicken panini with sweet potato tots, a burger with bacon and blue cheese with regular tots, and the last had a side salad and tomato soup in a bread bowl. The soup/bread bowl was the only item without rave reviews. It was easy to have a conversation at our table, and there were TVs with college football on so we could enjoy the ending to a few games. Nice place, parking was easy (across the street), and service was fantastic. Will definitely visit again when we are in the area.

The place is laid out as one big room with a front door on Main St and a back door to an alley leading to a small private lot. New Penny makes me think of tight jeans, mullets, IROC Camaros, AC/DC, Bruce Springsteen, jackhammers and hard hats. Don't get me wrong, this is not all a bad thing. That's the New Penny. I've never felt unsafe there and wouldn't hesitate to go back. COLD COLD BEER. One big bonus is that they keep their beer at a temperature just above the freezing point. Delicious! CHEAP. You don't need a lot of money to enjoy yourself here.

Superb menu -- and extensive specials. Truly, everything was delicious and fresh -- and GENEROUS portions!

Highly recommend this place when you are in Scranton -- and easy 10-minute drive from downtown.

She asked whether we wanted a booth or table; when we said booth, she abruptly tossed four menus onto a nearby table and walked away without a word.

The single star is for our server, who immediately read the situation, asked if we'd been abandoned, and then provided excellent, attentive service. She was professional and kind and deserved far more credit. Unfortunately, the hostess's attitude set a terrible tone and should not be what guests encounter in a customer-facing role.
