She made great recommendations and helped us decide based on our time constraints. She was attentive and gave us a lot of information about the food, live music, DJ and art for sale on all the walls. We weren't super hungry, so we tried the flatbread - sooo good. I will be back because the whole menu, including the drinks, sound wonderful. They offered zero spirit, GL and other substitutions if needed which is nice. The atmosphere has a moody, darker hang out vibe to it. I loved it and can't wait to bring some friends and family back! She recommended reservations on the weekends, especially on "First Fridays" as that's when they do events and an art crawl on Broadway when the weather is nice. We parked on the street in front of the building so I'm not sure if there is a parking lot. They do have outdoor seating as well in the front of the building. I remember when this location was a food co-op waaaaaaay back in the day. They did a great job transforming it into a relaxing bar and restaurant. We will go back and I highly recommend you check it out!

We were looking for a non-chain place for an early dinner and decided to give this place a try…read more When we arrived around 4 pm, there were a few people at the bar but we were the only ones at a table. We ordered the fried avocado which was served with pickled onions and a spicy dip - very good and the bonus was a happy hour discount. Hubby had the Cheddar Smash burger with fries as his side choice (other options are onion petals or a side salad). Catsup was complimentary but there was a charge for the garlic aioli. Good but nothing stand out. I had the Brie and Berry grilled cheese without the prosciutto. My choice of side was the onion petals. Again, tasty but not standout. Ahlana served us quickly and with a smile, checking in several times to see if we were enjoying our meal. It was kind of dark inside (adding to the atmosphere no doubt) and there is a collection of eclectic art work. We were not fans of the music but we are old! There is outside seating but road noise may take away enjoyment of dining here. Enjoyable meal.

It was a pleasant evening sitting…read moreoutside on the very large patio, with a couple providing very nice, easy-listening live music on the outdoor stage area. Seating was very comfortable. Service was friendly but a little slow this night. We ordered their lobster rangoon flatbread to share, prior to our entrees, and that turned out to be the only dish i remembered to take a pic of. The photo shows just a half portion of the flatbread, and you can see that it was generously sized! Pretty tasty, but sweeter than expected, and one had to really hunt for any tiny little lobster pieces. Our table had 2 black and bleu burgers w/really good fries; the brisket grilled cheese, which our friend said was delicious, w/fries; and the ala-carte tacos which were amply filled but needed seasoning desperately. No accompanying salsa, and no crispy chips or other sides. Each taco came on its own separate tiny plate, so they cooled very quickly.

You will find Penny Drip on the corner of Lafayette and Berry streets. Lafayette only goes south. Berry only goes west. Penny Drip has four parking spots off Lafayette. So you may have to go around the block to park. The building can be confusing. The first door us a barber shop. Enter at the patio - which would be great on a nice summer's evening. The inside is small. There are a limited number of two and four people tables. Mostly rail style bar stools. Inside is relaxing. So it isn't uncommon for someone to camp out with their book or PC fir a while. Penny Drip has a variety of simple food and drink items. We haven't tried the food. On this occasion we had coffee and a specialty drink. The coffee was served in a nice large ceramic cup. Great for a warm comforting beverage. The bubble gum rose iced drink was very creative. Cool, refreshing and tasty!

It has a fun atmosphere while still being perfect for a nice dinner or date night. One of my personal favorites is the steak and eggs, and I love that you can get it during both brunch AND lunch! There are so many great choices on the menu, though, and everything we've tried has been delicious. And you HAVE to try the carrot cake. It is GINORMOUS and absolutely delicious! Definitely big enough to share--or eat some there and take the rest home for later, which is usually the better plan. We really love this place and have never been disappointed. Great food, great drinks, great service, and just an all-around great Fort Wayne restaurant. Definitely one of our favorites and a place we highly recommend!
