Amazing food! Amazing drinks! So many fun activities during the week! Love the friendly staff!

One of the few places in San Angelo that has a solid mocktail menu. Great food. They have a lot of events during the week: Wednesday night trivia, Tuesday night music bingo. Will be coming back read more

Had a great time. the mixed drinks were awesome and the bartender Nick had my sides hurting from laughing

This is a dive bar with better food than I expected. Servers were friendly, mostly big brand beers on tap, but I was pleasantly surprised with the food we got. read more

Amazing cheeseburger, cold craft beer and good music. Recommend without hesitation. Come late on a Friday and Saturday and you can dance the night away! read more

'Twas a Monday eve when I stopped in for libations and victuals, and to rest my weary steed. This is one of the few locally owned businesses serving food on Monday, so check it out. It's a fun place to hang out and they have decent food. It's a full bar and I counted 25 beers on tap - they have many more available in cans and bottles. TouchTunes jukebox, so stock up your TouchTune credits before rolling in here folks. They have a small stage, and according to the Yelp pix, Vallejo (an Austin favorite of mine) and a KISS tribute band have played there - that makes this my kind of joint! I'll have to make another trip just to check out the live music scene. 10 percent off your food order with Yelp check-in. That's it for the review - they get a solid four stars from me - thanks Haleigh for being an awesome bartendress! Pro Tip follows: Get here when the evening news is on and listen to the drunk rednecks comment on the end of the world and how they've been stockpiling ammo with their dad for the last few years. "Something bad's gonna' happen. I can just feel it." one of them said. "I might get killed, but I'm gonna kill a lot more of them before they get me." another said. read more

The Penny Tap House - Pubs Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

I went to The Penny Tap House (Friday, 09/10/2021) because of their post (see comments). I asked Chelsea, "Does this apply now?" (Meaning time of day, 1:30). She answered rudely, "Well, isn't today Friday?!" Then, didn't know if it did or did not. She asked Brittney, who answered, "It should be all day." Turns out, it's only from 3:00-8:00 because my friend's water-downed drink rang-up full-price. I didn't order because Chelsea put me in a temporarily bad mood. I took my business where I know there's great service and drinks! TPTH responded to my review and totally missed the point and blamed me, the customer. Chelsea maintained her sarcasm by "loving" my response. None of this surprised me considering their overall poor attitude towards customers (others left without ordering) and lack of knowledge regarding their own posts/services. *Shout-out to 'The Grill' where happy hour starts at 3:00 every day and their food, drinks, and service has been consistently awesome for 8 years!* read more

I thought I'd found the best burger in town (the Cheddar Blanket Burger with Chipotle Aioli at Zero One Ale House), but PTH's The Cure Burger definitely made me reconsider, and might have dethroned the champ. The Cure burger's chorizo/beef blend was flavorful and blended perfectly with the crispy bacon, egg, & grilled onions (no jalapeños for this gringo). Very juicy and filling. Above average sweet potato fries. I'll be back for sure. Too bad they were only open for curbside delivery... read more

Stopped by on a Friday night while in town. Still a solid bar with great service and food. Laid back atmosphere, great staff, and happy customers. read more

Food was meh. Service was lacking, even after they weren't busy anymore. Beer was relatively warm. Good music. Loud environment. If you're hungry, and it's open, give it a shot. read more

First time visiting. Drinks were reasonable, food was reasonable yet expensive, but cleanliness was subpar. The bartender continued to stack glasses in front of me instead of washing them. Then, she dumped a tower of glasses on me spilling everything. If this is how they maintain the cleanliness of what you can see, imagine the kitchen. There's too many places to visit in this town to give this place a time of day. read more

Food here is great!! Not just bar food, but a great restaurant quality menu. The brunch is great also! Quite dark inside, so I wouldn't necessarily say family friendly, but a great place to grab a bite and a beer or two read more

I came here to try it out. The bar is pretty spacious. I came around 6pm and it had about 10 people. I ordered the blood orange cider and the penny cheesesteak. The cider tastes ok because I didn't detect much of the blood orange taste. The penny cheesesteak was pretty tasty. The marinated meat did pay off. The sauce was all right. The grilled bell pepper and onion didn't make much of a presence. I also changed the fries to truffle fries and the fries tasted decent. read more

Very good food! Best burger in a while! The absolute best sweet potato fries as well as regular. The service and drinks were good as well! Will be returning for brunch!! read more

Back in town visiting and met up with old friends at the Penny. Remembering my previous visit, I didn't have high expectations. Unfortunately the place has not improved. For a Friday night, the place was not crowded however this made no difference in terms of the service. For the first round we went up to the bar to order. We waited at least five minutes before our order was taken. Two different bartenders kept saying they'd be right with us. After the bartender, Big Boobs McHoulihan who seemed more concerned with her chest falling out of her shirt than serving patrons, took the order of her friend in line behind us we finally got our drinks. At no point in the evening did one of the several waitresses come by our table for drink orders. However at the end of the night, one did try to clear our table with my drink half full; I had to snatch it back from her. In recent years, the Penny has offered food and still does however it would be wise for the Health Dept. to do a surprise inspection. We could see into the kitchen from our table and it was filthy (pic posted). The cook even left out a package of ground beef sitting out for more than 45 minutes. He even left it out while he went out the side door to get stoned with the band while they took a break. I'll have the E. Coli & Reefer Burger please! Sad to see this place go down the toilet. read more

The Penny Tap House - Note the package of ground beef sitting out. It was out for more than 45 minutes while the cook took a 420 break with the band. - Pubs Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

The burger I had was fire!!!! Randomly stumbled upon this spot. Played some music off the iPhone Jukebox deal and tossed a few drinks back. The burger came out for someone else....and I had to get in on those morsels!! I'll go again read more

This is definitely a bar with a small food menu. It's not bad if you are expecting a dive bat.

Waited 10 mins to get tea and a drink then they never come back to order food. Wasn't that busy

The Penny Tap House is my favorite spot for drinks, food, and live music. The friendly staff always welcome me with a smile and get right to my requests. They offer a wide variety of tasty foods, a full bar with printed cocktail menu, and a big selection of draft beer. Pricing is very reasonable also. I've never had a bad experience at the Penny Tap House and will continue to support this locally owned staple of our community for years to come. read more

First time here I have been to Knosh and the flavors of the food is great at both restaurants. The service is great. The food came out for wife 10 minutes before mine. Something about the cooks at the two locations, my food has not even been warm. I have never had lukewarm to cold cheese-steak or hash browns at a restaurant. If this place can serve warm to hot food it wood be 4-5 stars. I love the menu and the atmosphere. I was too hungry to send the food back. I see great opportunity for a great food experience. Maybe I will give a third try since the food flavor is so good. I would say try the food and ask they make sure the food is warm when served. I wonder if Texas doesn't serve hot food it has happened at 4 different restaurant I have been to. read more

I just can't find anything to complain about. Stephanie made me a great classic gimlet and had great recommendations. I couldn't decide what i wanted and her suggestion hit my mood, mouth, and belly with a trifecta! Sriracha-Buffalo Sliders are amazing. The chicken is lightly crisped and the inside is super juicy! My husband stole one and 1/2 my fries. It was more than enough to fill me and make me happy! Husband had Spicy Lettuce Wraps. He loves many different Asian dishes that are eaten wrapped in lettuce and he loves all things spicy. I knew it would be sweeter than he likes because of the teriyaki sauce and i was right, but i also know other people like sweet, so i can't fault it in this review. The meat, peppers and onions are like fajitas only with teriyaki. I am eager to try the Tap House BLT Sliders, the Free Range Chicken Sandwich, the Charcuterie Board, and the Tap House Calamari.... so i have to go at least twice more before i leave town next month (assuming my husband will order what i want and share with me). read more

Not impressed. Bar, yes. Food, pass. Decent waitress, small crowd, poor menu. Under new ownership, the only burger available is half chorizo. I won't be back. read more

This place is fantastic. Their handcrafted cocktails are out of this world. I highly recommend the penny smasher, but definitely be careful. It's so delicious you won't realize that it is almost entirely whiskey. The staff is attentive and friendly. It's the perfect mix of a casual atmosphere with quality cocktails and good beers on tap. i've only had a couple of items from the menu, but what I did have was really good. Sliders were great. Avocado tostadas were also great. They have Geeks Who Drink trivia on Wednesday nights too. Good crowd. This is a great place to have a few too many drinks after work. Highly recommend. read more

Good service with amazing wings. Tonight the Sriracha Buffalo wings had mild heat with a nice, surprising flavor I was not expecting. The wings are big and meaty cooked to a fine crispy finish I also tried the Ginger Soy sauce on the second set of six wings. Flavor was very good but I was surprised by the sweetness. If your low carbing it like I am don't go for this sauce. read more

This is a great place in San Angelo! Our first visit here was enough to convince us to return each time we're in town. They have great craft and domestic beers on tap and great food on the menu. The service was great, and Ransom in particular really made the night even better. He had some great food suggestions and even suggested some great beers when we were ready for something different. They also have a full bar if beer isn't your thing. The wings were really good and the truffle shuffle fries were out of this world. They have a happy hour and a pint night on Tuesdays, definitely check out their website for details and upcoming bands. There's a pool table and darts for a nice friendly competition with your friends. They have a stage and live music on some nights, we'll definitely come back for that. This is simply a great place to have a really good time. read more

New management is great and the food is actually super impressive.. their burgers are delicious and are my favorite in town.. I also love their sweet potato fries. Drinks are always well made as well! read more

A really nice little quaint pub. Bartender told us all craft beer were 3.50 on this Tuesday night which we thought was cool. I had a couple of my favorite Stash IPA and my lady had a couple Art Car IPA. We got our bill and paid it... but when I got home I realized I had been screwed by the bartendress... Four beers at 3.50 each should have been 14.00 but my total bill was 19.88. Pretty sure tax wasn't over 30 percent. So if you decide to visit her watch your bill closely! I will return but I will also be cautious... read more

Came in looking for fried pickles and they did not disappoint ended up getting 2 baskets . The Cobb salad had half an avocado which was very good. Husband and son has the PTH burger and they both devoured what looked like a 1/2 pound patty. Next time in town we will stop again. Really great wait staff and employees read more

Brittany is THE most awesome! Go see her. Fantastic cocktails and delicious brews. Get the George Clooney tequila. The Two Hearted IPA is amazing. And the food, oh my gosh. Totally unexpected and appreciated. This was truly an oasis. read more

Man how this place has changed! I used to frequent this place way back when. This is my first time back since it's been called the Penny Tap House. It is definitely a large bar with tons of seating. The outside is very closed off and the seating out there is very limited. They have a large stage for live music and tons of TV's around for all of the sports lovers. Our waitress was very attentive and very friendly. She had lots of conversations with us rather than just dropping off drinks. The vibe is definitely great and I can't wait to head back to see a show sometime. read more

Great beer selection and their bar food is good as well for a fair price. I got their Texas cheesesteak which was fresh and their fries were tasty. read more

We were recommended this place by several individuals, so we decided to give it a try. Place was very easy to find, but when we got in there my thought was like that's it? But I didn't let my first impression to get to me. They got some typical bar games available for you to enjoy while you're hanging out at PTH. One thing that was odd to me is that pool table was pay-to-play only. One of my friends had to get some quarters to play it. That was kind of cheap, but ok. When I think of tap house, this is definitely it. Their chose of on tap brews was quite impressive for such a small place. I had some of them and they weren't disappointing. Good selection of food and other than brew beverages. Atmosphere wasn't as welcoming, but they did have live music playing, so that was a win for sure. Our server was very pleasant, she gets my 5 stars for service. As far as food goes I cannot fully review it, because I had calamari appetizer, which I did enjoy a lot. The sauce really added to the meat, I have no complains about that particular thing as all. If I had to chose to come back or not I probably would've chosen to come back. Overall, decent first impression of this establishment. Just need to fix those bathrooms - female bathroom was atrocious. read more

I was here over the weekend, on a Friday night. I went with my mom to meet with her college friends (she just finished her Masters program at Angelo State). I was expecting it to be super crowded as my mom told me this was mostly a college kid spot, but that wasn't the case at all. Super mixed crowd between college kids and older couples/friends and enough room for them all and then some. The atmosphere is sports bar. They had basketball games playing on TVs and projected on the far back wall. But also a jukebox playing. It was actually a pretty cool environment that could kind of appeal to different crowds at the same time. We were there between 7:30 and 9:30ish and college classes were finished so this may not be the atmosphere most weekends just FYI! The food was pretty awesome! I had the PTH Burger and it was extremely delicious and I highly recommend it. My mom got the nachos with chicken (which she ordered about 10 minutes after I ordered), and it came with a lot of guacamole and was nice and cheesy. The issue we had was they took close to 45 minutes to get out to us, which is slightly ridiculous for some nachos (especially since they were on the appetizer section). I'm not sure if our server just forgot to put in the order or if the kitchen fell behind (but again the place was by no means packed so it really shouldn't have been an issue). As far as the older posts with bad ratings, I was given a quick history while there and basically the place use to be more hole in the wall dump. They however have new ownership/management (I heard around Fall 2016 but not sure) so I wouldn't let those posts deter you in any way. I would recommend giving it a try for sure, and I would absolutely go back for that burger! ***IS 21 AND UP*** read more

Food was better than expected given the venue. The service was poor. Took 15 minutes to order a drink one it wasn't busy. Another 20 minutes for brunch to make it out of the kitchen. I tried ordering another drink but the bartenders behind the bar were too busy making jokes with each other and watching videos on their phones to notice. I finally had to grab someone coming out of the kitchen to get their attention. I do not recommend. read more

About 80% of the time, this restaurant has very good food! Sometimes it's over cooked and flavorless (not sure what that's about, but it has happened more than twice). Their burgers are delicious, especially The Cure! The main reason I gave them 3 stars is for their service. It takes FOREVER to get your food. You can chalk that up to it being a good place to eat, but don't go if you're starving. An hour is an average wait for your food. read more

PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS: My girlfriend and I came here on a Monday night for a nice, relaxing date night. The place was quiet and mostly empty, but this was exactly how I wanted it. We decided to come on this particular night because their website advertised "$1 wells all night" and "$3 crafts" amongst other things. I'm assuming both of these claims are either in the process of being changed, the server was very new and unaware, or some combination of the two. The first two beers I ordered THAT WERE ON THE BOARD OF OFFERED BEERS were not being sold anymore. This would have not been as upsetting, had the board not have been written in chalk. That should not happen. It's one thing to not have a drink menu, which is pretty silly in of itself, but the one thing that is offered that I have to get up to go look at, isn't even up to date. Thankfully my next two shots in the dark were available, and were delicious. Then my date ordered a drink off of the cocktail menu that we found online. The drink was the cucumber gimlet, but then the server informed us that "we can't make that yet because that's on our new menu and we havnt updated our system" or whatever that means. So then she ordered a pina colada. The server then told us "I don't know if we can make that, but I'll check" and this just made me chuckle. Surprisingly (kind of), the bartender made her a pina colada and it was fine. Now for some bright spots: We ordered a few different appetizers, all of which we were quite pleased with, but of course the trend of wrong menu listings would occur. We started with "fried pickle spears" but after she set it at our table and the pickles were in sliced not spear form, she told us they don't do spears anymore, as if that was not obvious when she delivered our food. But regardless, these were the best fried pickles I've ever had. Incredibly crispy, almost had the consistency of a dill potato chip, which was nice. So kudos to the kitchen for making a great pickle. Next were the soy sauce French drumlette wings. They looked good, tasted good (very salty, which I like, but might not be for everyone) and we were overall very pleased. We also ordered a charcuterie board. It came with prosciutto, a few different cheeses, jam, and roasted pine nuts. The overall experience of the charcuterie board was good. The prosciutto was already covered in the jam which tasted fine, but I prefer to layer flavors as I please, rather than having it already done. This isn't really a complaint, just a personal preference. Finally, we requested our ticket and we were charged $4 for every well drink we ordered, as opposed to the $1 that was advertised. So instead of $16 or so on drinks, we spent closer to $30. I know I could have easily pointed this out to the server and had it corrected, but I was pretty mentally finished with the whole visit, so I paid, tipped, and left. All in all, the service was sub-par, the server had an incredible lack of knowledge, and the tasty fried pickles and wings kept this from being a 1-or-2 star review. If a bar wants to rebrand itself as a more upscale bar, then make sure your menu is correct, servers are trained and educated, and your online information matches the information that is provided at the establishment. read more
