Let me take you down where I'm going to... Penny Lane Pub in Richmond, Virginia. I happened onto this wonderful English pub, that inside holds a secret (Do you want to know a secret?). From the moment you walk into the door, you are stepping into a veritable Magical Mystery Tour of memorabilia. Adorned on every surface are hundreds and thousands of photos. There are hundreds of candid photos the likes of all of The Beatles, Princess Diana, Winston Churchill. What struck me is that everything in this place is real, authentic. From photographs to news clippings, to magazine covers. It's like taking a trip Across the Universe. I inquired about the pub from one of it's employees, and found out that the owner Terry O’Neill, was from Liverpool and actually met and knew The Beatles (before they were even The Beatles) from 1957. He moved to America and opened his restaurant in NYC, then relocated to Richmond. This establishment described as a "Chummy Liverpudlian pub", which is accurate, has been in existence in Richmond, VA for over 40 years. It is a diamond among a sea of rhinestones. When you walk in, be prepared to take a trip down Penny Lane, where she is in our ears and in our eyes. On the corner is a banker with a motorcar And little children laugh at him behind his back. Be prepared to be transported across the pond to where you'll be referred to being in the colonies.

Went in to catch an early match and beat the crowd before the United game and was greeted by Terry. I've read how he was rude and to me I think it's the complete opposite as he made small talk chatted it up with me seeing me wear my gear and asked where I was from. I think these previous posters either don't know personality types or are emotionally soft because there was some small banter and he set me at the bar. As the bar filled up all he said was "lad move over one if you can so we can fit two." I could see people assuming he was rude the way he said it but he was far from it, anyways the two things that make me sad is I don't have a pub like this where I live and I had to watch United lose. The upstairs was empty, but there was plenty of room for a big party or if you wanted to play pool. I hope we head to Richmond for work again because I will definitely go there again.

My food was a little on the crispy side (cooked too long, burned on the ends) but I still enjoyed this place. I will give it another try. I do like "overcooked" dishes believe it or not and did enjoy the sausage roll and patsy but will come again to try it "right". My server was super friendly and welcoming. Like I've already said, I will be back. Oh if you like Beatles memorabilia this is your place. Also the bar side is separate from the "dining area which some might find nice. Super fun football side and chill side. I liked that!. I did park right outside on the street. You do have to pay for street parking, $2 for 2 hours. Can do it with an app or right there at the kiosk.

This is their specialty, the grownup grilled cheese. It was horrible. Not toasted. Not melted. Appeared to only have one of the 3 cheeses it was supposed to. The waitress said, "Yeah, that's how it comes". It was $12 bucks. The atmosphere is sweet though. Just a quick update, the owner contacted and made it all good, he was also upset about the look of that and said that was not at all right even on a busy night. Make sure your Grown Up Grilled Cheese looks like a super amazing sandwich or say something. Bumped the stars, because every other time I have been there was great and then this got fixed.
