| - The reason that I came to Pints on Penn was for a Yelp Elite Event, YEE. I had the best time ever at this event so maybe my five star review for Pints on Penn could be because of all the wonderful food and drinks I got to try. But I really think event or not, I would have been really happy with the service, food, and drinks here. I even went and told my work ladies that this could be a happy hour spot to try out.
I live in Lawrenceville and have wanted to come to Pints on Penn for so long but have always skipped it to go some place closer to where I live on Butler. Am I lazy, not really but there are a lot of places that are closer to me and quite frankly Chris never wants to branch out if he has found a go to spot. (Anyone want to be my try new places date?? :-))
The food was amazing. The drinks were so good. And the space is beautiful. I can think of nothing more fun than an evening out at Pints on Penn. And when I heard they have pretty good happy hour specials it makes them all the more enticing.
I thought I would be adventurous and got a Pomegranate Cranberry Ginger Shandy for my first drink. In hindsight this was a bad decision for me. I am not the biggest fan of beer and should have just tried a cocktail instead. I liked it but it was not for me. I like smaller drinks and for the amount of food that I was eating I needed something a bit smoother. It was good do not get me wrong, but not to be sipping while eating all that food!
Pomegranate Cranberry Ginger Shandy:
Barrow's ginger liqueur, pomegranate molasses, topped with Leinenkugel's cranberry ginger shandy
Now my ride or die, De, got the ginger mixed drink. It was so good. I went on the website to try to find it but could not. I loved this drink. I would have drank this all night long. But alas, I only got to have a sip. Their cocktails were really good and I cannot wait to go back to try more of them.
Food: I stuffed my face. In a very ladylike way. But the food was so good that I had to go up for a second plate even if I was full to the brim.
Baked Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower: Baked and tossed in our house buffalo and topped with blue cheese crumbles.
I think that I am now a bit wimpy because this cauliflower was amazing but it was hot. I had to ask for a cup of water to just try to get through it. I couldn't stop eating what was on my plate but it took some time to get through.
Fish Tacos: Breaded, fried, and topped with pico de gallo, pickled red onions, spicy mayo, and red cabbage.
This was the stuff. First the tacos came in corn shells. BOOM. Corn shells are my favorite and more "authentic" to the idea of tacos. Tacos that come in regular wheat shells always make my heart hurt a bit. Second, the pickled red onions were amazing. I may have taken a lot extra just to eat on the side. Crunchy and pickly, so good. Third, the fish was fried perfectly. The mayo was spicy but not overwhelming. I loved it.
I am now drooling thinking about those tacos.....
I had a great time and now I know what I am missing if I do not go back to Pints on Penn soon!
