3 penny is a excellent meal or place to grab a drink. Food is always good, menu seems to have something new to try. Mushroom toast was delicious and beer selection delivers

We are on our way to Montreal for the weekend and stopped for a quick dinner. Found this via yelp and was not disappointed! This offered great tap room food, wonderful service and a fantastic beer selection. The dry rub wings were top notch. The tomato soup left my son asking me to find their recipe. Being paired with a grilled cheese that was second to none. Burger and chicken sandwich left our crew full, happy, and knowing they just at some truly good food. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area.

So, I have to amend my review as apparently they either have a new owner or at least a new manager and the bartenders are all new. The current ones could not have been nicer. Super friendly, happy to answer questions, and actually seemed to enjoy their jobs and interacting with customers. Nice to see a place turn its service around.

A wonderful surprise. My family and I really enjoyed ourselves. You walk into a very casual environment. There were several draft beers to choose from their list ... which is always a positive. And the food was great! I went for the Fish and Chips ... and it was done right. The fish was quite tender. But I could have used a bit more as the portion sizes were less than expected. And although the wait staff was very nice, they could have been more attentive, especially since the restaurant was less than half full. Regardless, I would come again.

We came here at 7:30 on a Monday evening. This restaurant has two doors-one for the bar and one for the dining area. Our server was nice. She helped me pick from two different cocktails (red pollard) We ordered the fries and chicken nuggs with sweet chili sauce and a burger with tots. The burger was perfectly cooked medium and the tots were nicely seasoned and crisp. The nuggs were great and the sweet chili sauce was delicious. Fries were freshly cooked and crisp. Our server checked on us several times. We would definitely come here again when we are in the area.

When visiting Montpelier last week, we ended up having lunch at 3 Penny Tap Room. We were lucky they had hot dogs as the special that day. It really got us in the 4th of July spirit. They were really good because they were grilled and on New England style buns. The waffle fries were really good. There also was a great beer selection. Unfortunately, my husband's experience wasn't as good. His burger and fries were cold and had obviously sat too long before being served.

Interesting and diverse menu. Incredibly slow service, but the food was pretty good and the tots/fries were excellent! Nice outdoor seating on the street.

Pre and post flood renovations look amazing! Same fantastic menu. The mushroom toast is still to die for.

Our last meal in Vermont. We came here for lunch to stop by the capital and exploring Vermont. They have a patio and it's nice sitting out there to enjoy the nice weather. We ordered some beers and cider. I got the ahi tacos, my husband got the cod cake burger, and my friend got the steak sandwich. The ahi tacos wasn't bad. The cook wasn't too bad and it could be more rare but the tacos had some good flavor and sauce. My friend didn't like her Thai steak salad. She said the steak was flavorless and the dressing wasn't strong or had good flavor. My husband loved his cod cake burger. I took several bites and it was delicious! The cod is so meaty, like a crab cake but you get more fish. It was good. That's what you should get.

Half grilled cheese & soup w/ shorty fries = A+ Cod Cake Sandwich = A+ The selection of beers is incredible, all local on tap. They tend to have a wait on Friday nights / weekends but didn't take too long to get a table. Would recommend when in Montpelier
