Penny Whistle

The food service and ambiance was amazing. Looks like they got a recent overhaul on the inside. Had a vendor selling crawfish that was bomb!!!!

I went on a Wednesday to buy Phil's Crawfish. The ambiance outside was just right. The service at the bar was subpar. Even though the drink I ordered was not made as advertised, I still enjoyed it. I would've asked for light ice if I had known it was going to cost $15...

Below review stays the same, but they may earn a 5th star if they don't run out of steak on steak night. Especially when I was the first person to order. Unpretentious, neighborhood Irish pub. You can strategically bring in Nonno's pizza and chill out here with reasonably priced drinks. Bartenders are friendly, patrons are chill, and they have 2 rotating taps. There's nothing immensely special about this place. It's what a pub should be. Good patio, dart boards, clean, cold beer, nice staff, all good!

They don't have food, but the drinks are straight up and reasonably priced. Typical Irish pub, but thats a good thing. Ask for a D20 shot for a fun surprise!

Typical Irish bar with a twist! They have a ping pong table, Nintendo, and darts.Came here for good old st. Patty's day. Had a great time putting guinesses and whiskeys back. They also have live music weekly I believe as well.Staff was great and attentive!Pro tip:I don't believe they have a kitchen. So if your hungry grab something before hitting up the pub!

A small low key neighborhood bar with a few extra bells and whistles, Penny Whistle is a favorite little getaway from the bustling Montrose area. Before Covid-19, my friends and would come for drinks and ping pong. The ping pong is gone, but we still enjoy the patio, so we return often. I especially enjoy the illuminating canopy of green fairy lights over the front patio. There's no kitchen or food menu, but The Revelry is two doors down and Toasted Coconut is next door if you'd like to get takeout or prefer waiter service. Here, you're lucky to find the occasional food truck. This bar offers several beers on tap as well as canned. I like that they offer plenty of patio seating. I often see people with their dogs here, and it never gets too crowded or packed to where you won't find seating. That's just how I like it!

My fiancé and I love trying out new pubs around Houston. And I am so glad we found this one! The first time we came here there was no on else here, which was nice because we got the whole place to ourselves for a good hour & half. The bartender was so kind and made us amazing drinks! We came here for St. Patty's day and enjoyed an amazing live band with green beer. We always enjoy getting a cold Guinness here too. It's such a cute pub with a pool table and darts

This is a your quintessential neighborhood bar - and fills a niche that the closest bars around it don't meet. You may get fancier cocktails and food at Toasted Coconut or more of a scene at Nonno's, or more of a vibe at 93 Til, but sometimes you just need a good ole dive bar to chill with large groups of friends.They have a huge space with both indoor and large patio area. They have jumbo, high quality screens everywhere, so it's always a great atmosphere during game times and sporting events. They constant host events so definitely follow them on socials to keep up with their calendar - they have a great trivia scene, live music at times, and all sorts of food events like steak night and crawfish. Although a bit more of a dive, don't sleep on their cocktails as they have a pretty expansive menu you wouldn't expect at an establishment like this. They pour a good Guinness draft, and have a variety of local beers and imports. The bartenders are all extremely hardworking and friendly.Food-wise, they have a limited menu that includes basic bar snacks like pretzels and frozen pizza (I swear this has to be Red Baron). But the bonus is that they typically allow outside food, so can order delivery or bring whatever you want to eat with you. The tamale guy also makes fairly regular rounds at Penny Whistle, especially on trivia nights.There's been a lot of talk what constitutes third spaces, and in this part of Montrose, this would be one of mine. If you're ever in the neighborhood drop by Penny Whistle and come and say hi!

I enjoy the Penny Whistle. Great atmosphere, cold drinks, fun crowd, good service. No food, so if that's your focus, go somewhere else to eat first.

Tonight my sister was just bit aggressively by a customer's dog in Penny Whistle right in front of the bartender. The bartender didn't stop to check on my sister and later acted like she knew nothing about it. As I questioned the bartender about the incident, a drunk man sitting at the bar came at me ready to start a fight about the incident. The bartender never showed any concern for the bite marks on my sister's leg that resulted in blood and a hole in her pants. As the drunk man was yelling at me and threatening me, instead of asking the drunk man to leave, the bartender told our group to leave and politely asked her drunk yelling buddy "John" to sit back down. The bartender showed a lot of concern for not upsetting her regular customer but absolutely no consideration at all for the person bitten by a customer's dog.Be wary of crowded bars with a bunch of unknown dogs.
