So, when you drive up to this place, you instincts may tell you to turn around! Definitely old and almost historic! But go in. It's very outdoorsy inside. But the folks working there are so friendly and accommodating. The food? They literally single thread each order and make it homemade. The best burgers ever! The wait for food can be a lot, but so worth it!

I'm a lover of dive bars and have been in hundreds all over the country and this is right up there among the elite. Cheap beer, heavy cigarette smoke, incredible pickled eggs (if you go here and don't eat a pickled egg, you've committed a crime), an eccentric yet friendly owner who will throw you out for dropping an F-bomb or if he sees you acting disrespectful towards a female. And of course, the pennies. You just have to see it. Grab a Yuengling, play some ping pong, and enjoy the best that an old, strange city like Meadville has to offer. UPDATE: The Penny Bar is closed.
