"New fave spot in Penrith! Al is an absolute legend always giving warm and welcoming vibes and Jeremy knows how to make a killer Margarita !! The whole crew at Tap on Tench are fantastic and this little spot is beautifully presented inside to create the perfect jazz bar/speak easy feel with its great list of craft beer, cocktails and live entertainment also! I’ll be dragging all my friends here for the up and coming summer!"
