The Penny Bar is hands down one the greatest and strangest dive bars you will ever have the…read morepleasure of sipping a beer at. 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.

Well one time the late great Maritime Mel said to my brother come on tommy let's get a drink, and walks onboard. MEL! U can't just go on somebody's boat.... ITS A BAR. Christmas lights were up. The Capt was onboard from the laker. This changes everything, a floating bar for the lakers!!!! This was back in the day early 90's. Well. It was on. Sonny II aka the bum boat, used yo shuttle supplies to the lakers all along the harbor. And was a bar for the mens & ladies while alongside. A great seafaring tradition. Sonny B the sister ship is the water taxi up at PIB. Well for many years now at Ashtabula harbor the bum boat is tied up & open to the public fully licensed sit down bar. The owners are really nice. Live music, have a drink. Fairly large menu board too. I didn't know they had food tbh. It was great chili dog. As good & very similar to skyline. If u love shipping, history, music & dranks, and who doesn't in Ashtabula harbor, get ur arse down to the bum boat & have a blast. It's so unique u will never drink in another place like it. circa 1930. BEAUTIFUL NEW SIGN check it out. 5 star dive bar!!

Great wings extra crispy (could use a little more sauce). Philly cheese is always a favorite too!read more

I'm not sure what is going on at this place. It has been great in the past…read more It took 15 minutes to get a menu and our drink order. Another 10 minutes to take our order. Our food was not warm to luke warm. However other people walk in and get a menu right away, and their food within 20 minutes. I am also not comfortable about placing the tray with our food on another customers table, while serving. I asked for mayo with my burger, no mayo. Server did not come back until meal was mostly done. I am very disappointed. I'm not sure if I will give it another try. The couple that was with us have been in the server/ restaurant business most of their lives. They are good tippers, we are also good tippers. When your tip is is 15% or less, it's sending a message. Quit talking and fraternizing with the patrons. Also when we were leaving a male patron decided to take a piss right at the back exit door. The establishment can't help what people do outside. Still. You pass a bathroom when you're leaving.

The prices are significantly lower than the surrounding businesses; they take pride in not price-gouging. The onion rings were legitimately delicious. They have many vegetarian and vegan options for fried veggies of all sorts and grilled cheese and veggie wraps. What made our experience phenomenal was the service. The bar manager was incredibly friendly and helpful. I asked her for area recommendations and she went so far as to pull out a magazine and circle her recommendations (including notes like "great pizza" and "go here then stop over there"). She was so kind that we're planning a trip back to Ashtabula only to heed her recommendations. The bar does not have a direct view of the lake.

It smells from TOP to BOTTOM like straight cat urine. It saturates your skin and clothing... it is legitimately unlike anything I have ever smelled before and I have volunteered at animal shelters. At one time in my life, I had six cats in my home and I have NEVER smelled such a foul stench and odor like this. There is literally a cat visibly walking around this bar (bless its soul) through the dining area and kitchen. There was actually cat vomit on the floor in the bar area. I am still in disbelief that there is a place that is open to the public like this. I will be contacting the health department of Pennsylvania tomorrow. As soon as I came home I showered, and I still feel like I smell of straight cat urine. This is absolutely disgusting and so unsanitary. I am still sick to my stomach.
