Completely dead on the fourth of July around 5pm. Decent games. Got there for the happy hour, where the bartender was very nice and polite. Food was a complete opposite experience. We got a cafeteria like tray, with four broken chips, grocery store salsa (bottom shelf), and it looked extremely unappealing. Judge for yourself whether it tasted good or not (it was horrible). How hard is it to make a decent quesadilla??

My husband and I went for Bingo Loco (downstairs at Penn Social), which was awesome! Highly recommend when it is back in town. We decided to leave Bingo Loco a little early and go upstairs for food. Food and drinks were great, especially the chicken wings. We sat at the bar and while the bartender (Olivia, i think) wasn’t the most polite, she served us quickly. However, I saw Olivia use a washcloth to wipe the bottom of her shoes and then put the washcloth back on the counter. At one point, i saw her do a swipe of a small part of the counter. This is the counter guests eat it. Completely unsanitary. While I’d never want to put someone’s job in jeopardy, I hope this review makes it to management and they can ask Olivia not to repeat that unsanitary action.

I'd come back here, there's plenty to do in terms of games and the staff was friendly. They have a bunch of different games in the downstairs section and it's really spacious. The car tender Christian was prompt and helpful with service. I didn't check out the upstairs yet but it looks nice. Haven't tried the food here yet either. It wasn't too far from Metro Center either

The food was some of the worst food I’ve ever had. This was our first time in D.C and we had high hopes. The nachos were almost like a joke. There was zero love in that food. We were also told we couldn’t get any happy hour prices and it was still 30 minutes until happy hour was supposed to be over. There were some nice games and great tvs with the games on but that was all that was good.

This place is absolutely amazing. The location is great, the place is massive like an iceberg, upstairs looks big but it's just the tip, downstairs is where the fun is. If you're a sports fan you have 360 degrees of giant screens showing all major professional sports. Staff are amazing. They make you feel at home. I'll be returning. Many times

food was alright. Get wings, I got mango habanero and it was pretty good. Do not get quesadilla. Their HH menu is good. Overall, it was ok.

Penn Social is a great place to host an event. I went to attend a Story District event and loved the space. The bathrooms were also clean which is a huge plus in my book. If you're looking for a fun location to host an event in a metro-friendly spot in the city, check it out.

Great spot to gather with friends. The bar & seating upstairs are plentiful and easy to access. The rental space where I was is large and transformable to meet the event needs. The bar line was long and the bar tenders were friendly. There are water dispenser with cups at no charge and cocktails were reasonably priced. My friends said her was good. You order your food via QR code at the table or at the bar. Food is cooked fresh and was tasty. Tomato was a bit salty. Chips and guacamole were perfect.
