Unfortunately, our order tasted old, like maybe from the weekend. We ate 12 of the 15 wings. Sauce was light but the crisp was excellent. Last time the wings were perfect. A little bigger than I prefer (Kelly's are the perfect size for me), but not jumbo size. Sauce and crispiness on point. 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. Bartender is great and service always quick. Great little local bar with a good menu.

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.

Although I've personally never seen a crowd there. The servers are very kind and helped recommend a cigar for me. I am just a casual smoker so I appreciate the advice. 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!

Straight out of the 1980's comes the New Penny.

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.

Our dinner and entire evening was ruined from the start by an extremely rude hostess. She overheard…read moreour family mentioning surprise that there were only two servers and a bartender working while many tables were still dirty. 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. We stood in the middle of the dining area assuming she was coming back to wipe down a booth, but she never returned. 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.
