    After being verbally harassed by the bar owner that if we don't dance to the band on stage, the band will not be allowed to play here anymore, we decided that this place was not worth it. I guess our money wasn't good enough support. Maybe they should realize that me and my friends wouldn't have even showed up to this place without the band. The band was great, the drunk service wasn't.

    I waited 4 minutes standing at the bar for a draught. Meanwhile the waitresses walked past and around me to serve others. One waitress was more interested in restocking the beer cooler 2 feet away from me to offer me service.

    The atmosphere was nice for a local bar full of nice local people. The server/bartender was very helpful and the dish she recommended was very tasty. The menu is limited as there isn't a great selection, but whatever is made there is made quite well.

    Always awesome. Service is great... Britt is an great bartender. The owner George is always a lot of fun. I've tried a few menu items...all good...but the Greek chicken kabobs are amazing. Will come back every time.

    Way better when it was the blind ref. Now I don't even know who goes there some local sometimes I guess. A place I hope you have someone to watch your back.

    It is always a fun time going to see live music. The food is delicious, to partake in with some cocktails or ales.

    The Lucky Penny is a quaint little local bar. The food is fantastic thanks to its cook. The bartenders and servers are friendly and courteous. A real gem 💎.

    Typical St Catharines dice bar. Not bad. Atmosphere could be better

  • 5/5 BJohn S. 1 year ago on Google
    Didn't order any food, had a very good live band, played some pool, had a few drinks and enjoyed the music.

  • 5/5 Steve G. 10 months ago on Google
    When to the Lucky Penny for a few drinks with some friends after a long work day. The service was excellent. Definitely recommend going there if for a good time.

    Amazing food! Absolutely delicious! I wanted to express my gratitude to the chef but he seemed rather busy. Great job!

  • 5/5 tom b. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to chill, food is wonderful every time I've ordered anything. Staff are very attentive and the live music on Saturdays is always a good bonus especially the fact it starts at 6! But good luck trying to find a place to park

    George has a great spot here. Great wings and chicken fingers. Arguably the best in Niagara. Kelsey provided awesome service. Stonewall band played the night we attended. Great band and atmosphere

  • 4/5 Sarah B. 1 year ago on Google
    Pleasantly surprised. Great vibe going on. Staff very friendly. Burgers were excellent and prices fair. My only recommendation would be to have darts available for people to play. We were told they get stollen. Perhaps some kind of signing them out process could work. Leaving your keys or something? We would go back.

    Got bacon burger and it was greasy. Ask for no pickles and yeah mess up on that too. At least the cider was good.

  • 3/5 Marty T. 1 year ago on Google
    First time there and enjoyed myself. Really enjoyed the wings as they were nice and meaty. I will definitely go there again👍 Once wish they had a wing sauce that is a bit challenging.

    THE best place for Wings! The food is always excellent, always prepared and made on time… the staff are always top notch, happy, personable, and always on the ball.. you never have to wait for a drink! The owner is always so friendly and very welcoming to everyone, whether regulars or newcomers! Great team of people behind the bar & their bands on Saturday nights are always a fun time! HIGHLY RECOMMEND :)
