Penny Farthing Pub - Aarau

Very tasty meat pie. Many choices of draught beers. Friendly service, and friendly crowd in the pub as well.

Unfortunately, service and friendliness have declined significantly. It's a shame because I've been a regular guest every Sunday and Monday! Looking for alternatives now

Bouncer very nice. Absolutely super cool. DJ het gfetzt

The Penny Farthing Pub is a traditional British Pub situated not too far from the main train station, easily found as you make your way from the station into the city. First pub of the day, a short walk from the train station where I got my train from Basel to Aarau which only took me about 30 minutes or so. Thought it was closed as the doors looked slammed shut, but joy they were open. Early about 12. or so, but still a few other souls in the bar. The bar has a good selection of beers from the UK and Ireland, and some interesting Scottish whiskies as well. Ordered a Brooklyn Brewery lager, a first timer for me, which was on tap, and poured by a friendly bar lady. Pint looked good but wasn’t impressed with it, nothing to the quality of the pint poured but found it hard to drink. Not a Brooklyn fan I guess. The decor has some references to the Penny Farthing bicycle of the 1870’s with photos and an actual bike itself on one of the walls, which was pretty cool to see. Of course the pub was also decked out with a dart board and plenty of TV screens for sports for the more modern customer!I liked this bar, good friendly service, nice decor, nice long bar, and good atmosphere for that time of the day. Overall a good pub to start the day.

Wenn Du ein tolles originales irisches Ambiente eines echten Pubs willst, bist DU hier richtig. Einen Punkt Abzug hats für die teuren Preise gegeben (5 dl Bier zwischen 7 und 9 CHF). Ansonsten ist die Bedienung freundlich und es herrscht eine echte Duz-Kultur - SUPER!
