The reviews for Pennywise are very deceiving. I did not want to try this place until someone told us the reviews were wrong. My husband went for happy hour and had some delicious cocktails and beers. They have a huge variety to choose from! The menu has many options but I was thrilled about the pimento cheese balls! The environment was nice, the place is very clean and the staff was so friendly and attentive! Not only is this place and awesome pub, but it’s right on the River walk!

Wow after reading the previous Reviews i expected a completely different experience! Glad the Negative BS below was wrong!
First quickly served, beers within minutes, prompt and friendly server!
Ordered the Wurst Board as an appetizer
– Damn man this thing has two very flavorful sausages, Sauerkraut that is delicious!! Nothing like the negative reviews below.. big portions and tasty the stone ground mustard is definitely a star on the plate.
Wife Ordered Fish and Chips, huge fish perfectly cooked, the Chips aka Fries Home Made hand cut and damn it they were good too!
I ordered the Monte Cristo with chips, this thing is not only tasty but big..
So for those looking for something different or just a local Pub, with damn good food, an extremely friendly staff, a clean and family friendly atmosphere This is your place..
Go read my other reviews and see I am a fair to all, if it’s good it is going to get a good review if it’s bad, I don’t review until a second visit!
As Bad reviews without talking to Managers and Owners can ruin a good thing! So if ya have a bad experience speak to Management or the Owners then come back a few weeks later and if it still is bad don’t go back but don’t crap on the Business ,
This one got some harsh reviews from people who have truly not written that many great Reviews..
So I am honest, and Brutal, this place didn’t get a fair shake in the reviews! It’s much much better than some have said!

My friend and I checked out this place on a Friday night. They had live music from 7 to 10 on the patio. I had never been to the Riverwalk and it was such a nice atmosphere. There’s TVs in the patio for sports too. They have all day Monday through Friday specials on drinks – $6 Irish mules and green tea shots were what we ended up having.
The place is connected to underdogs next-door. Inside they have a ton of arcade games for the family.
We got the Reuben fries that were really good and fish and chips and the butter chicken. The fish and chips was great and I would order it again. The butter chicken I would’ve advertised more as a curry chicken. I barely ate much of it.
Our server Peyton was really nice. At the end the all day special pricing got a bit confusing versus the happy hour pricing, but she was very accommodating and was able to help us figure it out.

My wife and I found ourselves in the area after dropping my son off at a park to go fishing with a friend and we were in the mood for a pub. Found Pennywise on Google and took a look at their menu, which looked good so we stopped in. It was a Sunday afternoon so we watched the game while having lunch and a couple beers. The fish and chips and several plates of fries with various toppings were really good. There was a great variety of drinks and beers available. There are pool tables and darts there too. The atmosphere was great as well as the service. Picked up my son and his friend from the park and they joined us and had a burger and chicken sandwich which looked really good too. Definitely going again if we make it up that way.

It is a nice British pub. In my opinion, it is a good place for drinks but not food. We ordered bangers&mash and fish&chips. Both are 18.99$ each but the portion was very small. Bangers&Mash came with two small sausages and probably a cup of grainy mash potatoes. Fish&chip came with two medium pieces of fish and a pile of french fries. With the price, we were expecting a bigger portion for Banges&Mash. The taste is ok, not something that we will go back for. The service was good but the servers lacked knowledge about the food and drink menu. They have seating outside, it will be a good place for sitting during spring time.

I visited the pub on St. Patrick’s Day after waiting for almost a year for it to finally open. I had high hopes, but unfortunately, it was extremely disappointing. When I sat down, the waitress told me there was only one person working that day and that she worked at the pizza restaurant. She had no knowledge about the food or drinks at all (not her fault). She said that they were out of Guinness, green beer and fish and chips. On St. Patrick’s Day?? It was noon and not busy in the slightest. Absolutely crazy. I ordered an Irish drop shot, which was 1/3 of a beer and a shot of cream. For $8, that’s just ridiculous. I then got the reuben fries, which was a comically small portion, especially for $15. I also got the shepherd’s pie, which came in the same size pan as the fries. It was the worst shepherd’s pie I’ve ever had. It just tasted like plain ground beef topped with mashed potatoes. Hardly any flavor. I really wanted to like this place, but it’s just terrible and it’s being ran by a total clown. The only reason I’m giving it two stars instead of one is because the server was great and tried her best given the absurd mismanagement.

We arrived late to the hotel nearby and were looking for dinner within walking distance. The kitchen was closed by the time we made it to Pennywise. We were on our way back to the hotel to order Uber Eats when we met the owner (Mike). Upon hearing of our situation he said to head back in and he would make sure we were taken care of. Wow! It isn’t often you have an experience like this. We took a seat at the bar and ordered drinks from Sam, another fantastic person. A few minutes later Mike came out with Monte Cristo sandwiches, some bbq, and sweet potato kettle chips. We returned three more times with family during our stay in Texas, for meals, drinks and hospitality.
Sam made us feel like regulars to this pub, with her friendly and gracious manner! Above and beyond!
Thanks Sam and Mike for a wonderful time!

Overall, terrible dining experience. It took 40 minutes to get our drinks 50 minutes in and we didn’t even place a food order. We ended up leaving without any of the servers noticing.
