Is it kid friendly?

I'd say yes, but it's a true sports BAR so depends on your concept of kid-friendly. The menu contains food kids like. The staff/patrons are very nice. If there's a game on sometimes it gets loud and there may be a curse word spouted from time to time or some rowdy banter, but all for the love of the game, (which could be entertaining for a kid). With that said, maybe not the best choice if there's a big rock genere concert going on at the giant stadium.

Do you have a menu for your Sunday brunch?

Menu for Sunday April 15 $10 buffet: Belgian waffles w/ strawberries Broccoli cheddar bacon casserole Texas toast Bacon egg & cheese melts Santa Fe chicken baked in a thin crust with black beans, onions, tomatoes, green peppers, corn, eggs and pepper jack cheese Bacon/sausage Smoked salmom platter with fresh bagels Scrambled eggs Fruit salad Ceaser salad Tater Tots

Is this place open? Its almost 4pm and it says its open yet noone answers the phone for a reservation.

Hi Kimberly, we are temporarily closed due to the governors occupancy restrictions, when we can have 50% occupancy we will reopen.

Looking for a place to watch the Penn State Ohio State game at the end of November. (We will already be in Hershey for a show). Is this establishment a smoking establishment?

Yes brother, it's all that and much more. They treat you like family, and the food is worth the price. Invite a bunch of friends with you, enjoy have fun.

Do u have a pool

No

Hi.Do we need to make a reservation?

No, but it gets crowded on weekends.

How are the oysters, good and fresh?

I have been pleasantly surprised with the oysters. I want sure about ordering them the first time, it is a sports bar after all. But now I make a point to go in, place my order, and enjoy!

Can I get a cold frost beverage everytime I come in from a friendly accommodating staff?

Cold beer? Yes

What's the parking like there?

Limited, a few spots out front and side, both streets and a small parking lot behind, it's in a small neighborhood

What a find!! Unassuming from outside and a cozy bar inside. Very casual atmosphere.We ordered crab dip that was loaded w crab and cheese... Hot heaven!We then ordered a mix of wings, buffalo and jerk/honey citrus. Absolutely the perfect crispy blend of sweet hot and the wings were huge, plenty of meat to fill you up.I wish this bar was in my hometown...

Its a great place. Good ppl, good food, fair prices. My personal gripe .. clams. If ur an old clam lover...dont order them here. They are the thin shell farm raised chewy tasteless 'littlenecks' I dont believe they legally conform to the standard .. there was 20 clams in the order .. avg littleneck order is 10-12. Just my personal clam gripe. Very hard to get real littlenecks these days .. but, these sure are not .. and for some reason none of the clams were attached to the shell .. why?

The Penn Hotel is a great dive bar in Hershey. I love the atmosphere and had no complaints about my time here. They have a variety of beers on tap and in bottles at normal and fair prices. This is good for a quick beer after work or if you want to spend the night there. Either way you are in for a great time!

The food is a hell of a lot better than the price range. I wasn't expecting such a large burger for bar food. Fresh cut fries and chips. You can tell by the taste that it's a high scratch kitchen. Wait staff is extremely kind and attentive too!

This was my second visit, I took my wife there for our pre-anniversary lunch. They didn't disappoint us, every our daughters enjoyed their meal. Whenever you have a chance to stop by, check the wings out, they have different flavors. My wife had the cheese-stake, the best there is in the Hershey area. Friendly and comfortable, that's the place to take your family and friends.

Came for the last football Sunday if the regular season. I called the day before and asked to reserve a table with a good view of the game. When I got there I was glad to see they had a great talk saved for us but really, there are probably more televisions than there are table so anywhere you sit is a decent spot. The wings were great, meaty, not to hot, not to blame and with good flavor and a light breading. We also ordered the brisket nachos but we're served brisket fries... Not what we ordered but I could tell they were shorthanded and the fries started good, so why make a stink. With enough televisions and people, there was always someone to cheer along with between the Steelers game and the Eagles game. All in all, this became a new favorite spot to watch a game in Hershey.

Stopped in yesterday for the first time. Many things were tempting on the menu. I was not fond of the creamy crab soup but my salad, fries and southwest egg rolls were very good! My fiance loved his xxx wings and fries. We will be back to try more.!

I know it's not their fault because they got hit with the wrestling crowd out of nowhere but we sat at a table for 20 minutes without even getting looked at. They should have known it would be a big weekend and had more people on.

A very chill and local bar in town. Very nice and friendly staff, as well as the customers. I wouldn't be afraid to order some wings or specialty brews here. Not exactly a spot for a first date, but definitely the spot for a chill date to have fun and laugh. Nice, local and quaint bar to have an easy time at

Excellent!!! Cute, clean restaurant & bar. Went for lunch on a Friday and they were fairly busy...and I swear every local person coming in knew Bernard, our server/bartender. Super cool guy! Our food was delicious... Greek salad with blackened shrimp and a crab cake sandwich on ciabatta bread w/ fresh cut fries. Highly recommend that you check this place out!!

When you walk in you immediately get that typical dive bar feel. What makes this place stand out over the other dive bars in the area is there food is delicious. Everything is also very reasonably priced. As a dive should be.

Great sports bar! Large selection of foreign and domestic beers + IPAs. HUGE food portions for a great price. The "Partyman" fries are YUM-O and can feed an army! The "Raw Bar" is a rarity in the area and a great treat. Cool vintage shuffleboard + dartboard + Touch Tunes jukebox + TVs all around. There's a small parking lot out back with free street parking available.

The CD Football fans invaded Penn Hotel prior to the state championship game and the staff was accommodating and very friendly. Husband said the wings were great and everyone's food looked delicious when it come out. Even with a full house the kitchen cranked out food quickly. Great staff, drinks and food

This place is a diamond in the rough. WOW. The outside is a bit run down, attached to some houses and looks like a "bar". But inside, the people are so nice and attentive and the food, the food is awesome. Burgers cooked to perfection, phenomenal appetizers and fabulous sauces. I had the Mac & Porker sanwich with onion rings. Yum O! Love the onion rings, they are out of this world. My compliments to the chef. It's a great place to watch a game and even though it may not look it from the outside, it is family friendly. They have a kids menu that my son loved. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Hershey. What a great find.

This is food service, people. Learn the details! Know your bartenders! Shake hands, tip your hat! Eating an order of wings is like eating an ENTIRE chicken. All staff within the Penn Hotel Sports & Raw Bar are, in fact, gracious, kind and polite. I'm am addressed by my name and a good handshake (Gary). For tasty food n drink at a reasonable price, this is your Tavern.

Good wings and bar food. Great "dive bar" feel without the copious clouds of cigarette smoke, which is always a plus for me. Reasonably priced drinks for Hershey. I enjoy visiting on occasion with co-workers.

Spent hours at this place due to the fact that I was staying in a hotel within walking distance. Trivia night on Tuesday (if I remember correctly) and they have a shuffleboard, which was great! The wings were excellent. The pizza was huge for a personal size pizza. I will definitely go back when I'm in the area.
