The Penrose Est. 2012
The Penrose, 2nd Avenue, New York, NY, United States
The name "Penrose" was taken from "Penrose Wharf" in Cork, Ireland. It’s the location of the towns train station that was built over two hundred years ago. It’s a discreet nod to the Second Avenue subway development underway throughout the Upper East Side.

- The Scene:
- The pillow-lined benches, framed old portraits, and candlelit interior creates an intimate and inviting rustic atmosphere.
- Design:
- Everything at The Penrose is old. The wooden ceiling - was once one of the oldest water dams in America. It was originally built in 1812 on the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia. The wood on the floors and under the bar is from the home and horse stables (built in 1839) of early Dutch settlers in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The warm grey and brown tones of the wood are the result of over a century of human and animal occupancy. Most of the light fixtures are antiques from the 20's and 30's. The milk glass tables in the center room are from old ice cream parlors, also from the 30's. The artwork throughout the space was found by a long and arduous process of combing through junk shops and antique stores the year before we opened.
