Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty sandwich, a refreshing salad, or just a drink with friends, North Third has something for everyone.“

“We had a good time here. Food was awesome. Our server was excellent. The only issue I had was the tipping situation. I was with a party of 6. We normally tip good. But this place takes out 20%. . I don't like a place telling me what to tip. That's not how that works. 80 dollars in a tip. Tipping how much is up to the customers.“

“Not a Chiefs fan but stopped into this corner bar and had such a great experience! The owner, bartender and the locals were so nice! Was given a free burger because I was hungry and was backed up with a free beer from a local. I am so thankful for stopping in! ❤️“

“This is my go to neighborhood bar. Service is wonderful and the owners are amazing. They know your name, remember your face, and make you feel right at home. Favorite food is the upside down pizza and tuna. Upbeat music and atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“different cheesesteak #1137. Great neighborhood bar. I think the whole neighborhood was there. Nice woman next to me got the happy hour $10 draft/burger special. Guys on the other side were having a few drinks. Good crowd. Chef put a lot of time and special sauce into this cheesesteak. It came with very good house made potato chips.“

“A great family run business. The pub seems to be clean and well maintained. A great selection of beer with some rare beer options. The food was surprisingly good with huge portion sizes and decently priced. Staff was friendly and attentive. A great place for food and/or drinks“

“Great place with amazing cocktails. They have great Indian chai flavors martinis. A bit on sweeter side but must try. The bartenders very friendly and had a good time. Modern simple sleek interior! I think this is my new fav cocktail bar. A great addition to city specially to the area!“

“I am a regular at Spin Philadelphia. I usually go and have a very good time. I enjoy the food, drinks, and the atmosphere. I recently had a situation where someone asked security to deal with me. I was upset and started acting up because I was being wrongfully accused. Even though my night was going bad, I felt better because of the way I was treated by some staff. The security guy with the bandana and the front desk ping pong player were very nice to me. They heard me out, showed me respect, and were very understanding of the situation. They assured me that I was welcomed back anytime. I really appreciated that. Thank you.“

“Hilltown Tavern in Fairmount is a beloved neighborhood gastropub where the community comes together to enjoy hearty American fare and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Known for its juicy, massive burgers and signature cocktails, Hilltown Tavern is a place where friends meet to catch up over delicious food and drinks. The tavern’s friendly staff and speedy service make it a local favorite, and its pet-friendly outdoor seating offers the perfect spot to enjoy the Fairmount vibe. Whether you’re there to savor the spicy fried pickles, cheer on your favorite soccer team, or simply relax with a craft brew, Hilltown Tavern embodies the spirit of Philadelphia’s vibrant culinary scene.“

“good spot to eat in the backroom which hardly anyone knows about LKim is great good food . Bartenders need to learn how to work the remote for the music , It is Bose system that you can adjust for each end of the bar and the right channel is off along with the bass . lol I always listen to music when I am there .“

“This is the only restaurant I've found in the city who has homemade french fries, and they are delicious. We've ordered here on a few occasions and the food is always tasty, though you should be aware the burgers and sandwiches are messy to eat.Portion sizes are generous, prices are reasonable, and the food tastes good. What else can you ask for?“

“I visited on a thursday with my buddy who goes often. Being a workday night it seemed pretty active yet still a relaxed environment. Bartenders were very friendly and attentive, additionally the wings were great. Will definitely return.Parking: It is south philly so obviously parking is a bit challenging, but I was able to find plenty of spots about a block and half or so away.“

“The staff was absolutely amazing, Annie was super friendly and kind. Our first time visiting Philadelphia and she recommended several places to check out in brewery town. This place has a great selection of beer and lavish cocktails. The food was amazing, I really loved the pork burnt ends. The pho was delicious, fish and chips were nicely battered and tasty. I will be back and I recommend you give them a try!“

“Ten Stone is my favorite neighborhood bar for watching the Sixers games. The bartenders and the people at the bar are very friendly and knowledgeable Sixers fans. Despite the Sixers game being on the bartenders keep the drinks flowing. My glass never sat empty for long. When it comes to food, I'm a sucker for anything with truffles, so I love the truffle popcorn. The cheesesteak eggrolls are also a great rendition of that dish. Crispy outside and plenty of meat and cheese inside. The chicken sandwich on a pretzel bun is also good. The chicken needs to be a bit juicier to take it over the top. The gumbo is also a good dish that will keep you warm in the winter and remind you of New Orleans. Unfortunately, the mac & cheese is terrible. As long as you avoid that dish you will have a good time at Ten Stone. If you come during a Sixers game you never know when you might see me at the bar.“

“Despite being a little run-down, the Mermaid is understandably well-loved for its historic building retaining much of its architectural detail & charm. The colonial era inn claims the finely-detailed rich brown wood bar is original.We visited for the first time to see the final performance of the fantastic groove-band the Sacred Cowboys. Great band & fans! Large, supportive crowd!We didn't eat, but the bar staff was efficient & friendly.“

“Always such a great time here! Always themed out for each holiday, and often has great themed events going. New outdoor patio is cute and cozy. Clean bathrooms! Food is really good and kitchen is opened late! Great prices and the owner is awesome!“

“We are celebrated our mother's Birthday at Cafe light. I want to say a BIG thank you for such a warm atmosphere, wonderful staff, delicious food, cozy room. Dishes surprise with excellent presentation and taste. Svetlana and your entire team, thank you, we have never tasted anything tastier in restaurants in 13 years in America. You are amazing. Highly recommend this place.“

“Overall good service, food was good and the bartender named Joe was great but I went there to watch the Duke game and none of the TVs had it on. That seemed weird to me. Maybe the owner should invest in more TVs and ensure the Duke game is on.“

“Was here for dinner last night. Our very nice server recommended the Caesar salad w/hanger steak and it was excellent. The Guinness was poured perfectly. My friend enjoyed his French Dip sandwich and he is not easily pleased. There are ample TVs to watch the games and there was a full crowd of patrons and a good vibe.“

“Came here for a quick beer and enjoyed this spot. It has the feeling of a dive , so if you aren’t into that, this isn’t the place for you. I had their Green Rock Lager which had an interesting taste of bananas, but for the price was much more interesting than a typical light beer. Would definitely come back for a drink and to try the food.“

“Came here because we saw a friend post about it and we were not let down. We had the best bartender ever hands down. Some of the best wings I have ever had. That says a ton as I never eat bone in wings because I never like them. Drinks came fast all night. They had a game night which was really fun. If you are in the area I suggest stopping in. If you want an amazing bartender be sure to ask for Gianna. Girl is on point!!“

“The owners, Jermaine & April, are super friendly & welcoming! The atmosphere was that of a neighborhood bar where everyone is treated like an old friend. The food was tasty & the drinks went down smooth. Will definitely be returning!“

“Everyone was very pleasant and accommodating. Plenty of space and it was nice and clean. My kids loved breakfast with the Easter bunny. He was very friendly. Food was decent enough.Kid-friendliness: Had kid meal options and dining area away from barWheelchair accessibility: Accessibility parking, entrance and seating“

“Barmaids are always welcoming to you as you're coming in. Good service, good food. Nice size shots for your money. For more fun there's also a pool table in the back. So leave your negativity outside and unwind inside with new and old friends/family bar. Wheelchair accessible too.“

“***THEY NO LONGER SERVE FOOD*** I needed to point this out immediately as I went for their pierogies, as those awesome pictures are all over previous Yelp reviews. The person who made them now works at The Garage in Fishtown. This is a bar. You can have food delivered, as we watched many people do from DoorDash during our one afternoon here. They have great bartenders, and the prices are good, but if you want specialty cocktails, this is NOT the place for you. I wanted a lemon drop martini, and he almost laughed (lesson learned). It's a neighborhood bar with great people and a fun atmosphere.“

“Friendly atmosphere, good place to unwind everyone is treated like family. Good safe place to go to have a few drinks. Bartenders are friendly and accommodating. Weather your a New customer as well as regular customers everyone is treated with respect. Highly recommend if your looking to enjoy a night out. Food is great as well“

“Neighborhood joint. Good food and drinks are nicely priced. Good for "gals/guys/friends" nite.Parking: The street has metered parking. The side streets are free, however they are residential, so there are few spots.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps and they have a table near the door that is lower than the bar.“

“I pregamed here by accident on my 40th birthday and I must say. I’m happy I stumbled crossed this spot. Atmosphere was good the bar tender was kool with great personality. Food was good music was good. Kool little vibe. They made me feel great I most likely will be going back for a regular night. Thank you guys.“

“This bar is a laid back relaxed no drama bar. The drinks were good I didn't have any food but my friend had buffalo wings he said they were good. The DJ came in a little later that night and he was jamming. I will be back, I found me a new “

“Bad service and this is for the owner, I left there upset because of an employee that you have who is in charge of the entrance. I do not have to consume alcohol to be in the establishment and sit down to drink alcohol to be seated and every person who asks me about that place, rest assured that I am going to tell him the bad thingPerson you have as an employee“

“Been going here for about two years. Delightful neighborhood bar with great prices, friendly staff, good food with a rotating menu (always try the grilled cheese special), and a great tavern vibe. Pool upstairs (if you’re lucky enough to get there first). I’ve since moved out of the neighborhood to Point Breeze, but my friends and I still make the hike over to Watkins at least once a week because that’s how much we love this place. This is the stuff!“

“Stopped in after not being in the neighborhood for many years. This place is still one of , if not the best, local spots to catch a game or have a beer. Tons of TV's, huge bar, ample dining area, and clean bathrooms. I was here pretty early afternoon on a Friday, so not very busy, but the staff was busy prepping for the weekend. I watched them wipe down nearly every surface. Very clean, fresh, nice atmosphere.“

“Treat yourself to this place, it's a mixed crowd with young and old alike. The best thing about this place is the food and the Margerita towers. The service can be slow at times but well worth the wait. I can't stress enough how good the sautéed spinach is, and I never even liked spinach. The salmon egg rolls are to die for and just wow. Go here and enjoy, the food the food the food. And did I say the food ????“

“I love , love, love this place. I found it accidentally while driving towards Market Street. We saw a grill and the sweet smell of barbecue. We immediately stopped and ordered ribs, hotdogs, hot sausages, potato salad, green beans, and Mac cheese . Everything was delicious!! Shout out to my girl Shay . Thank you so much for good food and your hospitality.?“
