Welcome back Penguin! Version 2.0 is absolutely amazing!
The food is excellent and staff very friendly. High quality ingredients and well prepared by the chef. Everything is great, especially the wings, steak sandwich, and burgers!
The remodel of this place is superior. They did a great job overhauling the interior to class it up.
Live entertainment during dinner (kid friendly), and dueling piano after 9pm. Great times.

Not a friendly place if you are over the age of 22. The doorman, charging a $15 per person cover charge, would not even make eye contact. I used to love this place. I don’t intend to visit again. This use to be a great live music bar, that is no longer.

Fun time, the college kids came to have fun which was a good part of the ambiance. I bit chilly at first but the people warm it up. Upstairs they had a DJ with different type of music, and have another bar overlooking the pianos. The picture with the neon lights was on the ceiling going down the stairs.
Oh yea it opened late, I think I believe it was 10pm and not a lot of tables, apparently college students like standing, there was seating an hr later but that was this day, I would still get there when they open if that is important to you.

I used to love Penguin before it was rebought. It is our Mom’s Weekend and we decided to come to enjoy some nice music. We got there right at opening, paid cover and found a table in the back. To preface, this table was COMPLETELY available and had no reserved sign whatsoever. Around 10:30, a worker comes to our table and tell us all that we need to leave the table. This was completely out of the blue, and he said it had been reserved the whole night. We were all confused because our waitress said NOTHING about this and had been taking care of us all night. The manager ended up coming to the table and saying we needed to leave or else they were going to call the cops (for sitting at a table?). Our waitress came over and ended up admitting that she knew the whole night and it wasn’t her job to tell us. The manager ended up comping half of our tab, but when we left we saw him give high fives and hugs to the men who took our table (clearly his friends). This was absolutely ridiculous and my friends and I have lost all respect for this business.

Really disappointed with the new owners. As a college student who loved the old penguin, the new management is making me not want to continue to come. Workers at the door said the cover charge was $10 plus another $10 for the bottomless cup (throwback Thursday special) however, I got charged $27 after checking my account later in the night. I wish they still accepted cash and didn’t lie to me about the price of cover… not happy

When I went in, I didn’t know what to expect; pleasantly surprised! Jake, the bartender, was great! Wow, he was fast& friendly! The piano music with drums, complimented each other! Got me dancing!
Had a superb time; one of the best times ever! Thank you to all of those, that literally made my night out in Columbia, one of the best, I’ve ever had! Come here again? Oh, yeah… can’t wait!

We went in on a Friday night and had a group of 10 people and requested several songs- spent over $100 and for mediocre performances. Then when we requested a few songs and just expected them to be played without having to pay anymore money, they ignored us. And we were at least more than half the people in the place paying money so it was super disappointing

This is a fun place to visit. The two pianos plus drummer are a great mix. You will quickly find yourself joining in the sing-alongs having a great time. As is typical at piano bars, you can make requests (don’t forget to add a tip), so go ahead and request your favorite songs.

I enjoy the penguin bar. The band is always great & the bar tending staff is always polite. My only issue with this establishment is that they don’t care much for the democratic principles our nation was founded & charge veterans full cover.

Dueling piano bar after 9p. Food was a big surprise – excellent. As were mixed drinks. Live music while we ate and he was amazing – but far too loud.
And I do realize that it is aimed for the Mizzou college students; even still. I bet they would also prefer the music was less 11p volume.
