The Penny Pub

The Penny Pub is a Syracuse bar in Armory Square built for sitting, chatting and watching the game rather than late-night clubbing. It first opened in 2003 and is open seven days a week, so a seat and a game are within reach most any day.

The building has a story of its own. It was once a boarding house for railroad workers and is believed to be the oldest storefront in Armory Square. That history gives the pub a lived-in character that suits a neighborhood spot.
