P.J. Whelihan's Pub + Restaurant - Reading — Restaurant in Spring Township

Swung through on the Batwing for some boneless wings! And found a treasure trove of TVs as far as the eye can see.

Imagine the Batcave, but with over 20 TVs instead of Bat-computer screens, and you'll start to get the picture. Sports fans flock here like moths to a flame, drawn in by the electric atmosphere and endless wing possibilities. Eagles games here are a special experience. They include a live DJ who plays music during the commercials as well as the TV broadcast played throughout the building while the game is on.

For wing options, they've got a flavor for every villain in Gotham. Classic (breaded), naked, or boneless, it's a culinary arsenal that could rival even the Joker's arsenal of gags. And on Tuesdays? Half-price wings for Pub Club members! Even BatmanJawn can appreciate a good deal. 🦇💸

Speaking of deals, let's raise a glass to Bill, the general manager. He knows the deal. He's always got a smile and a firm handshake for every patron, making you feel like you've just joined the Justice League. And the bartenders, Aliya, KayBe, and Sam? They're slinging drinks with the precision and speed of a well-oiled Batarang. Friendliest and best bartenders in the biz.

But it's not all about the booze, folks. They've got plenty of non-alcoholic options too, like Hank's Root Beer and Fiji Water – perfect for quenching your thirst after a long night of crime-fighting.

Don't forget the patio! It's a year-round party zone, perfect for private gatherings no matter the weather. Think of it as a secret Batcave for your next celebration, complete with all the deliciousness that PJ Whelihan's has to offer. If you play your cards right you may be able to book KayBe and her musical talents for your event!

I even managed to snap a few pics - with Sam at the main bar and Aliya at the outside bar. Plenty of space to party, good citizens. My reconnaissance mission also provides a glimpse of their extensive beer list, seasonal drinks, and mouthwatering wing flavors.

Pro tip - save some room for the best dessert you'll ever have - the salted caramel cookie. Well worth the 10-15 min wait, they bake the cookie in a skillet then deliver the entire skillet and it's warm soft deliciousness to your table. Vanilla ice cream on top is a must!

So, if you find yourself in Sinking Spring, bat-wing your way over to PJ Whelihan's. It's a guaranteed slam dunk for any sports fan, foodie, or crime-fighter seeking a tasty retreat. Just don't tell Alfred I snuck an extra order of the nugget basket (mild) with famous fries – those are my...

I took recent violations out of my open review as sometimes a bad manager can make a bad place and they're supposed to be considered slightly upscale dining. Not to mention from the few staff members, I will not disclose who that I've spoke to but are horrible since reopen. Some great but the average 👎 Even if they're under new management, unless they're under new ownership post health shutdown, there's not a chance I will return after my few times going there recently. As I used to be a fan of the place and spend a reasonable amount of money there regularly, as well as a lot of my friends used to and no longer do. Minus the rare occasion, their table staff seems unhappy and for being a not budget place. Statistically based on area I can reasonably be sure their tips are more than favorable. It reminded me of the optimism I had the initial time I went and I was reasonably pleased before violations. I gave them the benefit of the doubt as some of their old staff members were memorable although few returned, make of that what you will. I am always well beyond polite as I understand the service industry and have helped orientate a lot of buildings for efficiency especially in the dining area. The food was about average, slightly above but nothing to write home about but nothing bad. Everything else was in between. The service however as I make it a point to not let them know I'm a reasonably renowned reviewer because I want an honest experience. The service was despicable. If I believed there would be a response from the manager/ owner I would have waited to post as my number was left. Or revised this review as well as the YouTube video going up and affiliated different website reviews on my opinion. I only generate a few hundred thousand people in responses and views so it's nothing too major, I hate rooting anyone's horn much less my own. I would be pleasantly surprised to know anyone reached out on this review on behalf of the company and will update 🙏 I hope I'm wrong and someone does reach out but if not my YouTube video goes up in 48 hours. I've done 2 videos with Keith Lee on the channel which is what drew attention initially and he's featured on mine so please check out me him or our affiliates. If customer service was slightly different or I was reached out to, the review easily could have been 3- 3.5 Stars 🧐Take care and look forward to you guys tuning in to the video and some honest reviews or responses if you live in the area or have...

A surprise birthday party was thrown here for me. I will start off by saying that I think the contract is ridiculous!! This is the ONLY place that I know of, and ALL of the guests at the party agreed, that you can not take your left over food home. You pay A LOT of money for the food, and you can't take the left over food home??? That you PAID FOR??? What difference does it make if I am in the restaurant and I have left over food on my plate? What do they do?? They give you a take out tray. There is NO DIFFERENCE! I have thrown many parties, whether it be for birthday, anniversary, family reunions, weddings and EVERY PLACE I have been to, you are allowed to take home what you paid for! EVEN IF IT IS A BUFFET STYLE MEAL and the food is sitting in the trays over a flame. Secondly, you charge $3.49 PER GLASS of soda!! No pitchers, you have to PAY BY THE GLASS! During a party?? That is just ridiculous!!! For what you charge, the soda should be included in the per person price or at least sell it by the pitcher!! Lastly, I had guests complain that the steak in the PHILLY PHILLY BAR was cold as well as the pulled pork in the SLIDER BAR. They actually threw it away because they couldn't eat it. I wish I would've known it then, during the party, because I would've certainly brought this to your attention!! Word to the wise-DO NOT HAVE YOUR PARTY OR EVENT HERE! The guests at the party will not patronize this place after learning of their left over food policy and the cold food that was served. What do you want to do PJ's? Resell all the leftover food??? Again, I have NEVER experienced this or any of the guests. If you're so concerned about "health and safety regulations" and "safe food handling practices", put a clause in your contract that if you take the left over food home, PJ's is not liable for what happens once it leaves the premises. You want to act like a highfalutin restaurant, then do this and not even serve hot food? We...
