Not too much to rave about the Penn Taproom on State St in Doylestown. Limited and basic menu with average eats. Chicken overcooked and dry and nachos no better. Staff slow and limited seating the night we came as the upstairs was closed - way too hot on a 98 degree day to dine outside so one of the 6 hightops had to do. No menus. QR code only and no pricing on drink menu so we skipped the booze. We came we ate - we left. Would not recommend. read more

Pretty staple place to visit for local Doylestown folks. Not amazing food or drinks, but you the atmosphere and conversations are great! Staff seemed very uninterested in seating us or taking our order, but it was happy hour....so they are a bit understaffed. (No shade to the staff at all, they were hustling!) the hummus was not bad at all, but the seasonal drinks were horrendous. Bathroom and bar area were very clean, but the laminated menus were filthy and very outdated. They should just stick to having you scan the QR code on the table to see the menu (it would have been nice if the host told us about the QR code while seating us). read more

Chad the owner is extremely rude. He does not appear to treat his staff well. One favorite was recently fired by text after a decade of service...the day after Christmas. I saw for myself how he spoke to other staff. The food is subpar for the price. Staff is great other than the owner. I won't ever be back with my friends or family. We are in Doylestown every summer. But not at that restaurant ever again. read more

Penn Taproom in Doylestown, PA: Disappointed with the Service We were really looking forward to our visit to Penn Taproom, but unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. Things felt rushed and inattentive from the start. Our dinners were brought out before we had even finished our appetizers, and no one cleared the plates between courses. When a drink refill was brought, the empty glass wasn't taken away, just left sitting on the table. Throughout the meal, service was impersonal and disengaged. We were asked "How is everything?"--but shouted from the steps, not with any real attention to our experience. The hostess spent most of the time on her phone at the front desk. No one asked if we wanted more water, and after sitting and waiting, we finally had to ask for the check ourselves. Food might have been fine, but the lack of hospitality really distracted from the experience. Not likely to return anytime soon. read more

Great outdoor dining setup but the wait time on weekends can be long. Food is standard fare. Great for people watching. Kid and family friendly. read more

The food is just OK here but we come for the Happy Hour Specials (gotta order before 6 PM for the cheap drinks) and the wonderful (2 female) bartenders who work super hard and are very funny and attentive. We enjoy it here for Happy Hour and it's less "snobby" than some D-town spots. Good music, too. read more

Solid spot for lunch with a cute outdoor patio! My friends and I came here for a late lunch/early dinner. I had the Moscow mule to drink and it was good! We also shared the edamame and hummus plate to start. Both were good, but the edamame really hit the spot. For my main entree, I had the Buffalo chicken wrap that comes with house made chips. I really enjoyed it! It had great flavor and the chicken was super crispy. I love me some homemade chips, so they really hit the spot! All in all, this is a great no frills spot. I enjoyed sitting outside and catching up with my friends! read more

Stopped in on May 15, 2022 (a Sunday) for dinner around 5 p.m. There was already a crowd waiting for seating. The hostesses are young, and disappear for long periods. That said, the food was excellent pub fare, and the bartender was perfectly attentive and welcoming. The quesadilla is outstanding, and I really enjoyed the fish and chips. Although the fries are good, they aren't anything spectacular either. My companion had the wings and loved them. Big screen TVs playing sports were on every available wall with the sound turned off. The music was eclectic. Not being a beer drinker, I've passed this place over many times as a local. I won't make that mistake again and I encourage others to do likewise. read more

Lousy experience, waitress was friendly but not very attentive. Food lacked care and horrible presentation, French fries were cold and look like the bottom of the bag small broken pieces. Asked for a coke with meal I got it when I was finished eating. Looked at the plates of other people and they must have been regulars . VERY DISAPPOINTED and felt disrespected will not be going back. read more

Manager there i super cool dude he'll hangout and listen to you talk while you drink, food is pretty good overall 10/10 would recommend

So we were going to a place down the street. Issue was I just got out of the gym. So I wasn't dressed for success. We stepped in there and were like let's go somewhere a little less formal. That's how we ended up at this joint. Cute little outside patio. It wasn't bad. I got guac and chips to start. The guac was ok but mostly just avocado. The avocado wasn't really crushed up. Large chunks. Chips were just chips. Nothing special. For main course I got the Hawaiian Turkey burger. That wasn't too bad. The side chips weren't great. Crispy yet somehow kinds soggy at the same time. My wife got an old fashioned but wasn't terribly impressed. She also got Mahi Mahi tacos. She said those were ok. I tried some of her salsa and it was boring. No real taste. Overall nothing really stood out to me positive or negative. read more

Friendly neighborhood tavern on restaurant row, State Street, Doylestown, PA., with above average draft list and decent kitchen. It was crowded for a late lunchtime on a state holiday, but we grabbed two stools at the bottom of the bar and settled in for afternoon dejeune and conversation. Noisy room as might be expected, but not so much that we couldn't hear each other. Our luck that my old friend knew the owner and we received a lot of attention. I ordered their pierogi tapas, a half dozen dough pockets of mashed potato and cheese with sautéed onion on top. My buddy went with a large green salad with chicken. We managed to consume everything between extended chats with a neighboring bar person who wanted to join our talk about nursing and law, and the owner who was big into skiing as was my companion's family. The pierogi were described as homemade, but were pretty much average. Thicker skinned, they were a bit chewier than necessary, but still a decent snack. My friend said nothing about his salad, but ate all of it. Overall, a pleasant winter afternoon diversion in a hometown bar in the cozy part of Doylestown Borough. PRO TIP - Parking is a challenge. Be on the lookout before you reach your destination. read more

Stopped here for lunch. They have a nice outdoor patio. What's not so nice is they add a 3% credit card surcharge to the bill. Come on, these credit card processing fees have been around forever. It's a cost of doing business. If it's that big of a deal, just raise your prices. People hate extra fees. read more

- one of the latest places open on a saturday night - good selection of beers - fun to hang out with friends, outdoors I loved the outdoor space - friendly bartenders - festive environment with lit partygoers - I dont recall if there was music playing read more

Excellent craft brew selection and friendly service. I ordered the veggie burger which was just a Dr. Praeger burger on a decent bun with garlic aioli, lettuce, onion, tomato and white American cheese. They gave me the top of a tomato (see picture) that's usually discarded. The fries were just frozen fries. There were not many vegetarian options on the menu and the food was just your average pub grub. Beers were pricy at $9 for a 12oz. Nothing special about this place. read more

I recently wrote a review after having a very negative experience. I was completely wrong for using inappropriate language however the treatment we received was so appalling that I couldn't help myself... The lack of apo ftlogy was disgraceful. They refused to work with us. A simple apology could have resolved the whole incident. I do apologize for my bad language but I also would like an apology for horrible service we received. The server dropped our food 1 hour after we were waiting while others had been served who came in after us. I basically snapped on became very angry at their lack of concern. read more

My husband and I love Doylestown and were looking to try a new place for lunch. Spontaneously came across this gem! From the hostess to the waiter, we had an absolutely great experience. We sat outside. It felt like we were back in Europe not PA! We loved the atmosphere and decor inside and outdoors. We had chicken quesadillas, fish and chips and somehow I only captured a photo of the Truffle burger. Such a delightful place and a must try. P.S, those potatoes are life! read more

This is like if a mediocre pub was mediocre... at everything. Food. Cocktails. Service. There's literally no reason to go here other than the outdoor dining area, which is nice for sitting and the only reason it gets two stars. But since you won't enjoy your food or drinks, why bother? lol. They were out of every beer my friend wanted, and my cocktails were like the shit I remember from the "nice" college bar - you know, they had a brand you recognized instead of the jet fuel at the fake ID place. Anyway, if you must go somewhere, and this is the place, I'd play it safe and only grab a beer (if they have it), then move on to somewhere else for food and cocktails. read more

Great spot to hit if you are in Doylestown! Great little bar and nice outdoor seating. They have heaters to keep you warm even in the cooler weather. Service is always great and the food is consistent. Just recently went for dinner and we shared the chicken quesadilla and crab and scallop pot pie. The quesadilla was cooked perfectly and had delicious flavor! The scallops in the pie were overcooked but the flavor was great! Service was a 10 out of 10! read more

Debated on going out or eating in, we ended up at Penn Taproom. Party of 3. Seated upstairs back room, the floor was sloped down hill and our table needed a deck of cards shoved under the one leg to remain somewhat stable. We made the best of it and I kept my feet on the legs so we could eat without wearing our drinks. Meals were served promptly, however, no silverware, no napkins or condiments. All 3 meals were cold. This was a Saturday night at 7pm. We laughed it off and k ew we should have eaten at home! We are very easygoing and did not want to send anything back, but, I doubt we will ever be back. read more

I ordered the wings and Pierogi's for my bf. My wings were cooked perfectly and I ordered the mild but I definitely should have gotten the Buffalo. They were still absolutely amazing. I asked for extra ranch and celery and bar tender assured me he did that! (My food was to go). My bf ate his whole meal and hyped it up! We're just visiting friends here in town but would definitely visit again! read more

I don't expect much when ordering for a kid off a kids menu. But really disappointed at the tiny bowl of Mac and cheese for $7 that didn't even fill up my 5 year old who gets full fast. Had to get a second order and it had butter and barely a speck of cheese. $14 for Mediocre Mac. My food was good. read more

I've lived in Doylestown for the last 4 years and have enjoyed going to different places in town. I thought I'd give this place another try but I was really disappointed with the service and food. The worst Philly cheesesteak I've every had, and I'm from Philly. Bartenders service was bad as they seemed to enjoy posing for photos and being on their phones rather than watching patrons. Very, very disappointing experience. Will not be back. Would have posted zero for review, but that was not an option. read more

Great location in town. Better than average bar food. Good beer selection. Nice hangout spot especially outside.

One of my favorite places in Doylestown for happy hour . Their food is really top notch and it is a great atmosphere. Their wings are the best around, my only complaint is that they don't have " hot " sauce so they are a little tame. They are cooked so well , I think they have a thin layer of spiced coating that makes them awesome! The cheesesteak egg rolls are also in the best ever category, really good! I will be trying the burger sometime soon , I'll bet they are really good! read more

Thursday evening out with 'the boss'. Cruised to Doylestown and found Penn Taproom looking cozy with fire pits and outdoor heat lamps. Beautiful! We chose to sit in the bar area against the big windows to optimize the outside ambiance and people watch. Enjoyed drafts of Sierra Nevada Octoberfest (when in spooky season) coupled with a pair of burgers. Can I just say how beautiful the presentation was? When does anything look like the menu?? And those onion rings-they didn't stand a chance. Everything was delicious, warm, meaty/melty, and perfect for a beautiful fall evening out. Shout out to our bartender who was working the floor and tables - great service. Thank you Penn Taproom! read more

Shrimp tacos were amazing!! Staff were very friendly too. I ordered a mojito, but i ended up not liking it, so they took it back and didn't charge me :) My only complaint is that the slushie drinks were very pricey, and there was no price tag. Everything else was superb! read more

Great service; bartender gave great beer recommendation; white garden pizza was really good.

Cute place. Nice bar , but only seats about 16 people. We went for happy hour, but no HH specials. With a name like Penn's Taproom, I was looking for a nice beer selection. Ended up with Miller lite. They do have a Gluten Free drink section. Never seen that before. read more

Came here for a Goose Island beer event on an August Saturday night. As usual, parking in Doylestown was a nightmare...parked down a side street off of Court and Hamilton Streets. Arrived around 8:00 PM..bar was pretty packed, but managed to find a pub table near the bar. Bartenders were super nice!! Ordered a burger and the shrimp seaweed salad for dinner. The boyfriend said the burger was ok. The waiter never returned with the side of mayo and ketchup as requestes. My salad was yummy. The shrimp was grilled perfectly. The seaweed salad was good. Overall, a solid dish. Good service, laid back atmosphere.... We will be back... read more

The only things good were the beer and outdoor patio. The food sucked. The wait was long. Hubby sent his "filet" back. My burger was raw. The guacamole was like a whipped up paste. Gross. We left hungry with our uneaten food on the table. read more

Bar and location were great. The food was not sub-par with not a lot of thought put into it.

This revenue is based on a recent visit. My friend and I ordered the Crazy Bleu salad containing beef plus two unsweetened iced teas. Salad arrived and tasted OK, but as soon as I was finished mine, I needed to use the bathroom as my stomach was upset. Once we got to the Michener Museum only blocks away, I couldn't get to the bathroom fast enough. My friend had the same experience once she got home an hour later. The meat was the culprit as we agreed it was either bad or wasn't well cooked. Stay away from this place, please. The health dept should be notified, imo! read more

Went here for drinks and appetizers during covid. I sat outside by the fire pit which was really cozy. Service was alright. They give generous wine pours which is a huge plus. The only food that I had were the sweet potato fries and it was literally the best fries I've ever had. It was crunchy and had a sweeter taste than your typical sweet potato fries. I would drive an hour to go back to Penn Tap just for the sweet potato fries, that's how delicious it was! read more

Penn Taproom is a forever favorite for me and my friends. Every time we go out in Doylestown we find ourselves ending up here. The food is great quality, the drinks are always perfectly made, and everyone is always so kind. Gabby was our waitress last night and she absolutely made our night. She was so funny and entertaining and gave us some great recommendations (those Jalapeño margs are spicy and delicious). She always checked on our table and had some great conversations with us and even kept up with me and my friends banter which made our experience that much more fun. Even while we waited for our table, the GM was checking in on staff passing by to make sure they were doing okay with how busy it was. We have never had a bad experience here and will always make this our spot. Absolutely recommend to anyone in this area or passing through! read more

I enjoyed the outdoor dining area. It has a casual and relaxed vibe, perfect for a summer evening. Nice beer selection and tasty margaritas. The fish tacos are solid and the shrimp and crab salad was also quite good with impressive pieces of shrimp and crab and a huge portion too!! The spring roll appetizer was so-so. Service was average-not bad, but not great. The food came out fast and hot! Perfect!! I would def go back. read more

I sat at the bar for the first time and it was not a pleasant experience. Bartenders took forever to come over to take our orders. Very hard to get their attention. The female bartender was drinking on the job. There were people visibly drunk near us and speaking crudely. The female bartender was also speaking inappropriately. Both bartenders were constantly talking with their backs turned from customers. The overall service was poor. I've been coming to this restaurant and never had a bad experience until now. Table service has always been great. Now I know to not sit at the bar on a weekend again. read more
