Penny Lane Pub - Old Saybrook, Connecticut

A lovely pub, good food and friendly staff. I have had better Cobb salads, but the sandwiches and roasted Brussels sprouts were good.

Penny Lane Pub is a pub and eatery worthy of the hit song by the Fab Four from which it takes its name.
There is plenty of seating in the appropriately pubby atmosphere on the ground floor, a delightful outdoor patio in the rear, and additional dining on the second floor (where you’ll find a mural of the Yellow Submarine - a fitting tribute to the song and local industry).
The food includes a selection the ranges from traditional British pub fare to contemporary favorites.
My spouse is from the UK, so a visit to the restaurant was mandatory to test out the authenticity of the pub and their food.
The shepherds pie passed with flying colors, and received bonus points for the surprise accompaniment of green beans. I opted for the fish tacos - a favorite of mine that some place miss and others do really well. Penny Lane’s version was fresh, flavorful, and came with the right amount of fixings.
There are several craft beers to choose from, as well as wines, and cocktails.

Tempting fate, and risking the ire of the Ghost of John Lennon who greeted us at the door, we sampled their bread pudding, which passed the test for authenticity (from my spouse’s perspective) and deliciousness from my pov. Well balanced vanilla, subtly spices, and just the right amount of sweetness.
My only challenge? I cannot get the song out of my head!

Samantha is an amazing host and Matt is the best bartender there is. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. I could not have asked for a better place to get stuck. I'll dream of returning.

The Irish pub is one of the top places to visit and eat at with a great menu full of options. I ate there for about a week straight at one point because I couldn’t stay away from there the food is amazing. I loved eating the crab cakes and buffalo burger. If you enjoy some good entertainment they have some great live music you can listen to and have some delicious drinks to go along with it.

Delicious 😋, if you haven't come to Penny Lane Pub then you need to give it a chance if your in the saybrook area. Came here Sunday afternoon for lunch/brunch, we ordered the Montreal hanger steak, pulled pork sandwich with onion rings and, the mushroom omelette which looked delicious and the avocado omelette. Everyone's food looked delicious but my hanger steak was tasty. Will definitely be back I would love to try the shepherds pie.

Last minute decision to stop in here. Glad we did! It had a historic atmosphere yet homey feel from staff. We really enjoyed the food. I had the couscous beet salad and husband had the brunch special, New England Benny. Afterwards we walked the cute shops nearby.

Came for lunch with a friend. I didn't see any handicap accessibility to get into place. There is a step up. Have indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor in the front would be most accessible. Had a lovely waitress, and it was a pub atmosphere. A tad loud when everyone gets to talking. Had the Mediterranean salad n my friend had a mushroom omelet. Was very delicious. I left with limoncello cake with raspberrysauce, which was delicious. Enjoyed the company, and there was nothing I could say bad about my lunch.

We've had two fantastic meals here recently. They recommend making a reservation, and they make it easy so it's always smart to do.
Good beer selection and they have seating both on the first and second floor.
