The Hog Penny

16 Best Bars in Bermuda, From Front Street Dives to Waterfront Local Breweries | Condé Nast Traveler

"This hole-in-the-wall British pub in the heart of Hamilton is about as close as you can get to the real thing without the London address. Low ceilings, dark mahogany, and walls adorned with local memorabilia give the place a lived-in, well-loved feel. And as one of the oldest establishments in Bermuda’s capital city, there’s history here too: It’s said that Hog Penny was the original inspiration for the bar in the NBC sitcom, Cheers. True or not, you’ll definitely feel like everybody knows your name after a few pints in this cheerful pub. This is a classic British pub in every sense of the word, so order yourself a beer on tap. Hog Penny pours five locally brewed beers from Dockyard Brewing—IPA, porter, amber, lager, and Hefeweizen—while also offering rotating bottle-draft imports like Samuel Smith and canned Guinness. It’s a well-rounded, craft-focused beer lineup." - David LaHuta

"Everyone Knows Your Name Bermuda’s Hog Penny Pub has the friendly ambience and laid-back vibe of your favorite neighborhood watering hole. Come prepared to enjoy traditional British pub fare, from fish and chips to Indian curries, in an atmospheric half-timbered room. One of Mike Swan’s pieces of advice for every traveler to Bermuda is to, “Get to know some locals and you’ll discover the island is a ‘small town’ in the middle of the Atlantic.” Visit Hog Penny, and you’ll likely have some new Bermudian friends before the evening is over.
