Ten Penny

In our experience, everything downtown is a little more expensive than it should be. Nothing to be outraged about, but you’re likely to pay a dollar or two more than normal for your drinks. Ten Penny is no exception to this rule. Their cheapest beer is a $4.50 Yuengling. That’s right, $4.50 for one Yuengling.

They need to charge that much so they can pay for their fancy, expensive light bulbs. You know what we’re talking about, the ones with the pretty filaments. They look really cool but must cost a pretty penny (Get it? Penny?)

The bar is huge and it’s very pretty. There are gorgeous grey leather booths along the back wall, lots of high tops and a large rectangular bar with service on all sides.  They have a really nice assortment of beers on tap and their liquor selection covered all of our favorites. We didn’t eat anything, but the menu looked very appetizing. They have happy hour specials Monday through Friday and late night specials Wednesday through Saturday, but that only manages to bring their drinks down to a reasonable cost. When your happy hour special is $5 draft beers, you’ve effectively priced us out.

Don’t let our comparative cheapness deter you, though. If you have the money to throw around, this seems like an OK place to do it.
