33 Best Craft Breweries in Philadelphia

“Magical, friendly and oh so delicious! We adore our times spent here, we devour the food and love the cider. It's a rare occasion when you feel like you're really having an absolutely special moment in a restaurant, but this place is the real deal! The staff are superb, friendly, funny and so absolutely kind. We love the cookies, the pulled tofu sandwiches are amazing, corn bread is delicious, soups, potato wedges OMG YUM, seriously get anything on the menu! This is a true gem of Northwest Philly!“

“Attic is my new favorite Philly brewery! For starters, their beer menu was AWESOME! Attic offers a variety of different brews, and there's something for everyone. We tried almost every one on the menu, and there wasn't a single one that wasn't fantastic. I was a big fan of the sage gose: earthy, not too sour, incredibly thirst quenching. I also loved the Bloodhound Brown Ale (GABF Silver Medal winner!) While there were not cats wandering around, most of their beers are cat themed including Cat Boss IPA and Electric Whiskers. They have great merch, including posters, shirts, and hats -- all catering to my cat-loving heart. They have a plethora of indoor seating including tables, comfy couches and chairs, and barstools. Cat friendly? I'm a fan. There was a food truck and a cool BBQ place next door....but otherwise it's BYOF. Attic also has PARKING! All in all, I loved Attic. The rustic philly-chic homey-ness of the bar, the friendly staff, the cat-themed beers, and the menu offerings. I can't wait to come back!“

“Superb service and phenomenal food! Fun atmosphere for a quick bite, after work wind down, date night, or time with friends. Excited for the live music and other events.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan options that will satisfy all cravings.Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegan options! Chef is crazy cool and accommodating.“

“Humble Parlor is one of my favorite places to go for a beer and hang out with great people. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. The owners are super nice and will always take time to talk to their customers. Also, be sure to stop by during the Phillies season and get your stamps! They have giveaways for each "tier" of stamps. During the summer, their backyard is a nice place to grab a beer, watch the Phils, and soak up the sun. 5/5!“

“Ran inside to pickup a four-pack for dinner at a BYOB. I follow these guys on instagram and have wanted to try their beer for some time. So glad I had the opportunity!I went with their DIPA, Lupulus Maelstrom. Damn. It was exceptional. Really nice tropical notes and something like an ice cream finish. Pours a beautiful opaque orange with lovely dank and tropical aromas. Highly recommend trying anything from Human Robot, I know I’ll be back!“

“Came here with some friends over the summer and absolutely loved it. The food truck outside was delicious and the drinks were tasty. This place has a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Great place to grab drinks and hangout! Will be returning.“

“One of the few positive developments of 2020 was being introduced to the amazing food found at Tabachoy. Everything on the menu is going to be the best food you’ve had in your life. The chicken sandwich is next level and the best I’ve ever had. Please support these amazing folks and their beyond delicious menu.“

“This brewery is located at 5th street and Spring Garden street. It has a varied menu and I tried the hummus platter which was rich and smooth. Very fresh vegetables and warm pita triangles. A love stout vanilla beer which was smooth n creamy. My friend had an American burger with fries "very juicy" she like the fries too. My other friend had pork belly on bao buns steamed he said it was okay but he isn't pleased with most things unless his Mom makes it. Service was fantastic!! We ate outside in an enclosed area with ceiling heaters. Quieter. Inside there is a rectangular bar and a huge room filled with Highwood and picnic tables with TVs all around. A great place to meet friends and hangout to watch sports. There beers are excellent.“

“I'm not a beer drinker but came here to get a gift for Christmas. The bartender helped me pick something out and bottled it in a crowler. Great vibe and clearly the bartender knew a lot of the people there, seemed like a great community feel! Great prices and cozy interior. There was even someone there doing some work, so possibly a great wfh place!“

“I got the flight. the hazy ales were delicious. the lager which was a confusing 6% abv was actually really good. the smoky fishtown was on point, the smoke gently enhancing the flavor of the beer. I had a nice conversation with the barkeep regarding rob mcelhenny and wrexham, the AFC and the town itself. it's a fun brew stop on the way to Penns treaty park and even if you're in the area for unrelated reasons.“

“Outstandingly crafted beer, good prices, laid back atmosphere that's great for visiting solo or for couples, families, or big groups. Staff are friendly and helpful. They have free WiFi and board games too! We especially loved the Polish-style beer (unique and delicious!), the Belgian Double, and their Hazy IPA. Yum, can't wait to return to try more from the draft beer list plus their draft cocktails and mead (honey wine).“

“This place has the best vegan food that doesn't taste like traditional “vegan food”. It also has non-vegan options, so it is great for bringing non-vegan friends/family. They also have a wide variety of alcohol in case you enjoy that stuff. They also have a huge selection of pizzas, even including vegan ones! You can even sub vegan cheese on any one of the regular pizzas. I had a sandwich that was made of pizza crust, and ive never had anything like it before! 10/10 will be returning.“

“Great local spot, it has been sold ever since it opened. The area around Punch Buggy has been built up a lot in the last few years and they have done an excellent job keeping up! Hopefully they will continue to anchor down the south side of the new American St. for a long time.“

“My friends and I went here for Wednesday night quizzo and it was really fun! The place is a nice size, lots of seating. I don't normally like beer but get fomo when at brewery's, so I tried the "I pick things up and put them down" (and got a small size) and I finished it, which I normally never do so that's a good sign. I thought the place was kind of warm, but maybe that's just me lol. the appetizers weren't that bad, we tried the hummus and the Buffalo chicken dip, but for the price I expected a little more. It's definitely just quick bar food. My friends enjoyed their Cuban sandwich though. Would definitely go back for quizzo!“

“Triple Bottom has great, friendly, and accommodating staff. The beers they have are good. I would bring anybody visiting from out of town here, any day of the week.The only reason I'm giving it a 4/5 is because they don't rotate their beers quick enough, so you can see the same exact menu for extended periods of time. Which can get boring for locals in the area. Especially when they're competing with much larger breweries in the immediate area like Love City and Yards.They're also lacking in variety, which may stem from the fact that the space is small and can't accommodate too many vats. They fall back on IPAs too easily and they'll have 3 IPAs on offer at the same time. They obviously have a very talented brewery crew so I wish they would be more willing to experiment with different styles.But these issues are minor and they don't stop me from coming here at least once a month and I'm still happy every time I leave.“

“Stopped in for a few last night and not only found some of the best beers I’ve ever had, but also met maybe the coolest bartender ever. (This coming from a lifelong bartender). I’d recommend this place any time, but especially Wednesday and Thursdays, when Mike is there.“

“I love this brewery. They rotate out beers frequently, meaning I can grab a new 4-pack and by the time I come back to return the ring, there's usually a cool new beer for me to try! The staff has always been hella cool and friendly, the vibe inside is immaculate. The first time I came in to try their beers, we were welcomed with Godzilla playing on the screen (hell yeah)They also have a variety of books and games on the shelf for guests to play with while they drink. I was quite fond of the cat encyclopedia they had!It's a bit harder to say which beers were my favorite, because they honestly never miss. Pilsners, lagers, pale ales- oh my! You won't regret giving any one of 'em a try :)“

“Great variety, exceptionally friendly for all ages or paw count, very welcoming to folks just looking to use the coffee shop, has a great event space that they also use for things like yoga and community events. All without being crazy on prices. The same event space works out perfectly for large groups to watch games. They seem to be constantly experimenting, but consistently have a few standout beers always on the ready. Does an amazing job organizing with local food trucks to have several options for customers for most of the day!Very happy to have a place like this serving on the outskirts of Philly, where friends from the city, locals, and those outside the city can easily meet via car, bike, or a short run!“

“I'm a certified effin beer geek. Hands downNothing better than ARS If you find something you like. Buy a bunchCan't count how many times I fell in love with one of their beers Went backAll sold out Small batch wizards is what they are - get there !!Often“

“I have only ever ordered beers to-go, but man, have I ordered a LOT of beers to-go! They're all highly accessible beers with exceptional, agreeable flavors. You can't go wrong picking any one of them, but my favorites are Space Cowboy and their Session IPA. Harvest from the Hood is also incredible, doubly so since they use their home grown hops to make it! My big suggestion is that you try every single beer before picking a favorite, because I truly did not like IPAs before trying some of theirs. I also love how cat-focused they are, with fundraisers benefiting the PSPCA and the brews dedicated to their hard working brewery cats (some of whom I've seen meandering the street as I've passed by- love you Duke!!!)They do sell really cool merchandise inside, which I've been meaning to buy- catnip, bottle openers, shirts, and more! All seem to be high quality and reasonably priced (much like their beers)“

“Only went for their beer and drinks. Online menu isn't up to date with what they had on tap, but the beer selection was descent. Surprisingly had a great mojito, wish I would have had more cocktails as this was def more of a bar than a brewery.“

“Fantastic beers! Keen (a dark mild) and Gully (IPA) are personal favorites but they have sooo many different varieties from sours to porters. Also love the wine, particularly the Pinot Gris, and my sister enjoyed the Riesling. The pizza is delicious, love the mushroom pizza and they usually have some kind of yummy special. The buffalo wings have a great heat and are juicy with plenty of meat—I don’t even like wings but these are ones I crave. Lots of veggie options, too—salads, yummy fried artichoke app, and pizzas. The ambiance is clean, colorful, and warm, and the service is always great. And they have soft serve with chocolate syrup!!“

“Really neat hole in the wall brewery. Would have walked right by had I not known what to look for! You have to walk down an alley and look for the green light above a door that's where it is. It's a tight little area inside but it was cool to try the different beers they had on tap. They also have lots of bottled beers that you can buy to take home overall a unique experience. They have a variety of beers on tap but most you have to buy the whole bottle so bring a friend or two so you can try them all.“

“A treasure in the Newbold/Point Breeze neighborhood of Philadelphia! Beers are so top notch with classic standards and new interpretations that just hit perfect. The food menu is super simple and to the point. Every item on the menu is guaranteed to be delicious! Highly recommended for beer lovers new and old!“

“Too good for Roxborough? This place is too good for just any neighborhood destination. So visit anytime you are off I-76 or hiking the Wissahickon or just looking for better options than those down the hill in Manayunk. Excellent beers and great food with fresh ingredients.“

“I really like Dock Street's beer and often stop in for a couple 4-packs. They usually have same selection of cans on tap so you can sample them. It's a pretty small place and focused on their beer with some lighter food options. Everyone is really nice and I hope they do well here.“

“Excellent brewery in the area, solid list of different type of beers not just the 700 IPAs that the brewery around the corner offers. Food is fantastic, all priced extremely reasonable. Party of three with an app, dinner and several beers was around 100 bucks. Within walking distance of the Fillmore and Brooklyn bowl. My new favorite go to since liquid arts closed down“

“The atmosphere was nice, chill, and friendly.The food was good! We ordered a cheeseburger and fries, a skirt steak salad that had an amazing balsamic mustard vinaigrette, as well as the brick oven cheese pizza.We ordered The Art Degree & Her Sisters a Witch as our drinks and they were both very tasty!Over all I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food.Good place to hang with friends for a chill vibe.“

“Mainstay has amazing beer & food in a great open space. The beers are outstanding-- consistently flavorful and crisp. The food selection is also great, especially the pizzas. The facility is large and "open" with a great play area for kids and an area for private parties (that I learned last night they also open and use for live music when no parties are scheduled). The staff is friendly and helpful and very attentive. We highly recommend Mainstay and look forward to our next visit!“

“If you're looking for a brewery on Manayunk's main street then Fat Lady Brewing is a convenient option. When compared to the other breweries in Philadelphia, I wasn't particularly impressed with the atmosphere or drinks we tried. But - prices were fair and there was a ton of space for groups to hangout which was nice.“

“One of (if the best) brewery in Philadelphia. An extensive list of IPAs on draft as well as some of the best pastry stouts in bottles I've ever had. I cannot give this place enough praise. I've only had the tater tots there so I cannot vouch for the food but the tots were good. Bartenders are quite knowledgeable. Good price for a flight here and your can get any 4 beers you want.“

“Five stars because of Karly's trivia on Wednesdays. It's the reason I go.Complaint: waitress said bread sticks were complimentary, asked me what kind of sauce I wanted with them, and then charged $4 for the sauce. What the hell?Food is solid. I'm still mad about the bread sticks, though.“

“Had a great time at Manayunk Brewing Company and gotta give it 5 stars! Matt, the bartender, was top-notch, making sure we were all set with drinks and good times. We dove into the buffalo chicken dip first, so good – just the right kick. The Spicy jalapeño margaritas? Spot on. And the arugula and goat cheese flatbread was the kind of thing you'd want to eat every day – fresh, with a bit of tang from the goat cheese, just perfect. It's clear these folks know what they're doing, from the warm service to the tasty eats.“
