Only stopped in for a cold draft before heading down the street to MSG for a show…only to find the tap system was out! No worries – the bartender was the real deal and came up with instant (albeit canned) solutions to meet our needs. Watched him make up a Gin Fizz (and learned from him the difference between that and a slow gin fizz). He even doled out out a splash or two of the leftover for a couple of us at the bar who were wondering how the concoction turned out (pretty cool!). Didn't take advantage of the menu or the top-notch raw bar just a few feet away from us. Great interior, classic as one could expect. Will have to stop back some time when there is more time!
Came here a number of times, most recently in September for my girlfriends birthday. We sat at the bar and the waitstaff/bartender were very attentive.
Ordered was a BLT – can't go wrong with a BLT. Good sandwich.
For me – the penn 6 burger. I have had this a few times and it's great every time I have it.
Overall a nice spot to gab a lunch or dinner. Location is great if you're looking for something near penn station on the way to your train or just arriving in the city
Stopped in to meet a friend for a drink before a show at the Garden. Very nice bar offering a few craft bottles. I had already eaten so we did not order food.
Our friends had ordered burgers & I have to say they looked great. They both seemed to be happy with them.
Comfortable place I think I would try sometime for dinner.
HUGE TV Screens that pretty much light up the ENTIRE Bar. If you're not there for a sports game, then you're lost.
Really good bartenders, they were super fast and didn't ignore you even when you had just come up 5 minutes earlier and are already asking for a refill….
The moscow mules were really well done, can't speak to anything much else because I only had those, and I had like 5 of them, so they musta been good.
Also, the crowd is also on the older side (more 30s range), but overall the place itself is really nice and was packed on a Saturday night around 8pm.
I love Penn 6! The food is always amazing. My favorites are the oysters, lobster roll, the burgers, and the creme brûlée. But everything I have had here is quite appetizing!
The ambiance is always relaxing – it is a great place for dinner or to meet after a game for food.
I'll definitely be back!
Granted, there aren't too many great eateries near Penn Station/MSG, so this is probably one of the best options. My husband and friends came away pretty underwhelmed from the experience, though we did have some positive things to say.
We liked:
-The service. Friendly, prompt, attentive, gave suggestions when asked.
-The wine. I forget what we had (a bottle of some red, haha) but it was great.
-The flavor of the Berkshire pork chop. Just the flavor.
-Burrata cheese appetizer. YUM.
Did not like:
-The garlic breadsticks we got at the start of the meal tasted like they were taken from a freezer pack and re-heated in the microwave.
-Skilled fried shishito peppers (well, four of the five of us did not like them. WAAAAY too spicy – much spicier than usual shishitos, we all agreed)
-The cut of the pork chop. The flavor, as stated above, was great, but they did not do a good job in the back cutting the meat. It was covered – I mean seriously covered – with huge chunks of fat that definitely should've been trimmed off.
-The Knickerbockers "wagyu" beef sliders. This was particularly disappointing because I had read SO many good reviews about these sliders and was really looking forward to them. Ugh. First of all, the hamburgers (meat) did not have any real flavor at all – it was overwhelmed completely by the truffled aioli sauce. If you serve wagyu beef and people order it, it's because they want to taste really good MEAT. Not sauce.
-One of my friends had the bucatini with clams and was completely underwhelmed.
Additionally, after dinner, I had the most horrible stomach ache. I hadn't eaten anything for hours before dining at Pennsylvania 6, so I can only attribute it to the food here (my husband had one of my sliders and had a similar, but not as intense stomach ache).
Met my husband for lunch here yesterday. The restaurant itself was very nice and clean inside with most a business type crowd during the day.
As an appetizer, we split the buns which in realm of all of the buns this city has to offer (and their quality) were pretty good, average. The sauce on them was very tasty.
My husband ordered the steak sandwich with chips that according to him was very good. I had the Bahn Mi which came with raw jalapeno and I was a very very big fan of it. Definitely something I would get again.
Great lunch spot for this area of town. Would recommend and return!
Came here for oyster happy hour. Oysters were fresh but every single one of the dozen had shell in it. Not fun. Also they were poorly shucked (oyster was not totally cut out of the shell so it was still stuck in there when going to eat it..) also not fun.
Place is really nice though, decor wise. Also the bartenders were attentive and friendly.
