Live Music & Events
Where the Susquehanna River meets good times, great food, and the sound of live music filling a tavern that has hosted gatherings since 1791.
Live Music on the River
Pull up a seat, grab a pint from one of our 12 PA craft taps, and let the music carry you through the evening. Penn's Tavern brings talented local and regional musicians to our riverfront stage throughout the week.
Tuesday Tunes
Every Tuesday Evening
Start your week right with our beloved Tuesday night tradition. Acoustic sets, cold craft beer, and a laid-back atmosphere that keeps regulars coming back week after week.
Friday & Saturday Nights
Every Weekend
The weekend lineup brings a fuller sound and a lively crowd. Whether you are dining inside the pub or out on the deck under the stars, the music reaches every corner of the tavern.
Host Your Next Event at the Tavern
Birthdays, anniversaries, rehearsal dinners, corporate outings, or a quiet romantic dinner for two. Penn's Tavern offers private and semi-private spaces with character you simply cannot find anywhere else along the river.
The 1700's Room
Intimate stone-walled dining
Original stone walls dating to the building's earliest days. This intimate room wraps your gathering in centuries of history. Perfect for romantic dinners, small celebrations, and any occasion that calls for something truly memorable.
Microbrew River Pub
Craft beer and good company
The heart of the tavern. Gather your group around handcrafted tables in our pub space, with 12 PA craft microbrews on tap and a full bar at arm's reach. Ideal for casual celebrations and larger parties.
The Waterfront Deck
Susquehanna River views
Our expansive deck stretches right to the edge of the Susquehanna. Sunsets over the river, the sound of water below, and open sky above. Seasonal availability makes deck events feel like something truly special.
