Inside The Pallet House Podcast — Penny Lane Pub

The Pallet House Podcast features a revolving door of characters who stop by to laugh, drink beer, and catch up on the craziness that is daily life. Check out more at www.insidethepallethouse.com

This week we are joined by Terrence O’Neill of Penny Lane Pub, and we are reminded why so many people regard it as the most authentic British pub in Virginia. Over some Half and Halfs we learn a little about the history of the pub, and what makes it home away from home for many. A lesson in soccer is learned during our time, and a pitch is made to bring the uninitiated into the Liverpool camp, but we are still keeping our options open for now. We learn of a mess created by some sheep that may have been avoided if they just knew how to use a lighter. A caption contest is won, while for one of us it felt like a loss, and a new conspiracy theory is born…are you listening Google, we are talking to you.

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city. Along the way, we’ve hosted events, published stacks of issues, and, most importantly, connected with a hell of a lot of remarkable people who make this place what it is.
