50 Best Cocktail Bars near Cherry Hill

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service and food were beyond amazinggggg. The atmosphere is clean and inviting. And if I didn’t mention it, The food was amazzzzingggggggggg.“

“10-25-25 visit.
I’ve been to several of Tommy’s Tavern locations. The food has always been exceptional along with the staff customer service.
I’ve been to the Cherry Hill location twice now. The first visit was met with good food and customer service! My 10-25-25 visit I decided to sit at the bar, and the customer service in this area was sub par at best. My girlfriend and I ordered some drinks off of the cocktail menu and both didn’t tasted like they were light on the alcohol side. Mine specifically was the Mango Mojito. We did discuss this with the bartender however she said that she couldn’t add any more alcohol. She stated that she could only take our drinks and make us two no one’s. We opted to get draft beers from the tap.
We ordered the cauliflower appetizer which was good however the bartender had it sent out the same time as our entrees. Also I’ve really enjoyed their turkey burgers until this visit. The turkey burger that I was given looked like it was two frozen patties with the usual trimmings however it now comes with guacamole on it apparently. I was told by the Manager that they changed the menu on this item. The old turkey burger looks like it was freshly made with spices and other very good ingredients in it that I really enjoyed. And it didn’t come with guacamole.. That version apparently has been eliminated in place of the two frozen patties that I was given. I’d didn’t eat it as a result. Guacamole on a turkey burger to me doesn’t make sense. So I was very disappointed with my experience.. I’m just gonna take this experience as a one off because I do enjoy going to Tommy’s. I’ve never had a problem before. Hopefully the next time I go, I will have a much better experience at this location. If I do decide to order another turkey burger, I will definitely check the menu to see how it is made and what comes with it. Hopefully they can go back to the old version cause I really like that version.
The manager did apologize for the inconvenience, which I was very appreciative of.“

“It's such an amazing vibe!! Andrea was phenomenal, the drinks, the food, and OMG the music MATTHEW FLYNN you ROCK!!!! I will definitely be back!“

“Our server, Joe, was absolutely amazing. He was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly! The food was delectable! I got the mussels as an appetizer and the shrimp alla vodka for dinner. It was all phenomenal! We will definitely be back!“

“The atmosphere exquisite the food very excellent the staff warm“

“We had the perfect cozy, comforting meal on a frigid winter night! The servers were attentive and took the time to answer questions and led us to pick the best menu items. The drink selections were excellent and I was happy to have a number of non-alc choices. We started with the layered lasagna and the “not Caesar” salad, both unique and delicious. The star of the meal was the gnocchi with local mushrooms. It was incredibly savory with so much flavor and the right amount of crunch. We will absolutely be returning to see what’s next on the menu rotation!“

“If Don Draper needed to disappear for an hour, this is where he’d do it. Low lighting, elegant design, and well-crafted cocktails set the tone. The bartenders don’t just make a drink; they negotiate it. Conversation feels optional but tempting. You don’t come here to be loud, you come here to be interesting. My buddy broke a glass and we braced for judgment. Instead, they laughed, cleaned it up, and somehow made us feel even more at home.“

“My wife and I came here for our date night Friday for half price pasta happy hour. We were greeted at the door by owner Wyatt who was very welcoming and passionate about his menu. He suggested the hen which came out sizzling with a crisp skin that bursted into a juicy body when I cut into it.
My wife and I split two pasta dishes which were perfect portions to share. We also got a cheese plate and some fun mocktails on our server’s recommendation. All the staff was working together and we had a great time sharing in all the goodies.
Great overall experience, will definitely be back!“

“We didn’t eat but! The cocktails were fantastic! First time trying a wine mix that makes you think you are drinking an old fashion! The mixologist noted our taste bud preference and delivery was on point. Cute small chic low light bar with classics playing. Perfect for date night or just trying new bars out?“

“We stumbled upon Pearl's looking for someplace place to go after we saw our original destination was closed. I am so glad we did. The owner found us a table himself. The service was top notch starting with the owner Shawn and shop out to our awesome waitress Ariana. I ordered the smash burger and it was so delicious I ordered another one. Drinks were good and not overpriced. Highly recommend and we will be returning.“

“Fantastic place! Great beer selections and cocktails. The food was fantastic. We had the Coconut Shrimp, Fried Green Tomatoes to start. Then we had the Brisket Sandwich and my husband had the Buffalo Wings. The Brisket Sandwich was amazing...so incredibly tender, lots of flavor, completely falls apart with each bite. My husband was so happy with his wings. He was so happy that they were actually crispy and full of flavor. The staff is amazing. So incredibly friendly and provide amazing service. Amazing place highly recommend. So happy we tired this place ♡♡♡♡♡“

“F1 Arcade Philly is the kind of place that turns a regular meetup with friends into something memorable, combining upbeat energy, good food and drinks, and genuinely fun racing. If you’re in Philadelphia and want a social spot that’s more exciting than the usual bar, this is absolutely worth a visit.“

“Great food- attentive waitstaff.“

“it was a great place to check out had a great time highly recommend going and seeing for yourself“

“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.“

“I had a great brunch. Loved the atmosphere. Food was excellent. I’ll definitely be back“

“Great drinks and the music allows for good conversation without being quiet. Awesome tiki bar!“

“Not kidding. Our table of 4 ordered nearly everything in the menu. Each bite was delicious, balanced, nuanced, worldly, fresh, and inventive. We ordered a second dish of the carrots, and also the cukes. Dessert was outstanding. Interesting wines, including a chilled Croatian wine that paired well with every dish. Definitely returning. Soon! ❤️“

“Great family place, good food at terrific value. Atmosphere was super for watching sports.“

“Great food and drinks At happy hour“

“I ordered curry goat and received a platter that looks like chunks of oxtail lamb chops I think. The below pic cannot possible be curry goat! To top it off I called to express my dissatisfaction and was hung up on twice.. I will never spend another dollar with this business!“

“Had to check out STATIC! as soon as it opened since Next of Kin is one of my favorite cocktail bars in the city.

The drinks are very similar to Next of Kin, the menu format is different though. Each page has a different type of cocktail and a corresponding theme to it. It’s a cute idea!

We sat at a table near the bar and the service was great. They were attentive and even gave us a free shot! Our drinks were tasty, my friend didn’t *love* his espresso martini but we still enjoyed it overall.

The thing that was difficult about this bar was they have floor to ceiling windows all along the front, so the openness caused the music and other patrons voices to echo and reflect. It was pretty loud in there. I also like when cocktail bars don’t have a lot of windows, to create a cozier feel. That’s just a personal preference.

It’s nice to have a more relaxed vibe in the Gayborhood - I can see myself coming back in the future!“

“I didn’t even know it was open as I walked but until a patron said you should go in for a drink. I was very glad I did. If you are not put off by the fact this is primarily a local spot for folks from the neighbourhood then the other patrons and staff was friendly. Beer was $2.50 a bottle and a shot of Hennessy was $5. The shots look small to the eye but are measured with their auto dosing system. A great value night cap on the way back to my hotel.“

“Bar1010 in Philadelphia is an absolute gem that exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived on a bustling evening, we were met with impeccable service. Our server was incredibly attentive, making us feel welcomed and ensuring every detail of our dining experience was perfect. The restaurant’s flexibility in accommodating my vegetarian needs was remarkable, showing a genuine dedication to guest satisfaction.

The cocktail menu is nothing short of exceptional. The espresso martinis are to die for: rich, perfectly balanced, and executed flawlessly and the variety they offer ensures there’s a flavor to match every preference. The food at Bar1010 is equally impressive. As an Indian, my standards for flavor are high, and the Tikka Masala pizza absolutely blew me away. It was perfectly spiced, rich, and indulgent, yet balanced beautifully on a crisp crust. The Indian-style pizza is a unique and unforgettable twist, highlighting the creativity of the kitchen.

The bruschetta was light, refreshing, and simply delicious, a perfect start to our meal. The outdoor seating adds a charming touch, offering a pleasant atmosphere to enjoy both food and drinks while taking in the vibrant Philly energy.

Overall, Bar1010 is a perfect blend of innovative cuisine, exceptional cocktails, and unmatched hospitality. Whether you’re seeking inventive dishes, outstanding drinks, or attentive service in a welcoming environment, this spot delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend for both casual nights out and special occasions, Bar1010 will leave you coming back for more.“

“Had such a great time here. The atmosphere was elegant but also comfortable. The entire staff was super friendly and attentive, and the drinks were absolutely amazing. A shoutout to my server, Jess—she was wonderful and really made it a great experience. It’s also in a perfect location near several popular theaters in Philly, making it a great spot for pre- or post-show drinks. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend!“

“nice local pub worth a visit“

“Having dinner with Leslie Smallwood-Lewis at Treble and Bass. Outstanding food and outstanding service!! Definitely five stars and five thumbsup!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾“

“Killer cocktails! We will be back!“

“1st time there and can’t wait to go back! Great atmosphere, customer service and outstanding food! Loved the variety and unique tacos. Highly recommend. 👍🏻“

“We had a good, not great meal here. For the price (which was considerable) we were definitely expecting a bit more. The cocktails were great and the service great, the food was a bit underwhelming. We went with the tasting menu instead of a la carte and found the dishes good, but not anything particularly special. They were very accommodating with an allergy which was very nice. I'd like to try the bar menu but probably don't need another dining room experience.“

“This is my go-to spot for lunch and happy hour! Laura rocks! :)“

“Only been there twice, but was enthralled each time. These guys get it. The service is friendly and impeccable, the food is prepared meticulously, the dishes are creative and high quality. Love the mood of the place; the ambience is perfect. Highly recommend their jazz brunch.“

“Awesome food and staff always fresh delicious ingredients!“

“We were just there to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from TJU. Impeccable service, delicious food and cocktails. Our server, Michael was amazing from start to finish! The care and concern for my Dad’s well being did not go unnoticed and was appreciated! Will definitely be in again! Thank you for a great evening!“

“My husband took me out to Philly for an early Mother’s Day gift. He said we were going to a “speakeasy” type bar in Chinatown but I didn’t believe him. When we got to an iron screen door, he was like this is it and I was like you got to be kidding me. The owner came out, asked my husband if he knew it was a cash bar took our ids then went inside. The owner brought back our ids then took us inside to a foyer where he told us the rules of the bar. Cash only, absolutely, no photography and no phones. If you need to take a phone call, you go back to foyer area or outside to not disturb people. We agreed to rules and went inside. The bar was dimly lit with candles on each table. The decor was amazing with pictures and antiques on the wall. We were sat at a table and given a cocktail menu. The cocktails were unique and separated by whiskey, gin, vodka and rum. If you need a light since it is so dim in the bar, they will bring you a light because they brought one to my husband. There were no beers on the menu so if that is what you’re looking for then this isn’t the place for you. We ordered our cocktails and they were amazing. Since there is no phone usage, you have more of an intimate experience with the person you are with because you aren’t distracted by your phone. We sat and talked while drinking our drinks. The owner came over and asked us about our drinks and how we were doing. We then ordered another round of drinks and continued talking. We enjoyed our time at Hop Sing Laundromat. Service was great, bartenders were great, owner was great, and the ambiance was amazing. This is a great date night spot for anyone who wants to enjoy a intimate setting with a cocktail or two. I would post pictures but again, No Photography so you would have to go in order to see it to believe it. You will enjoy this experience and not be disappointed.“

“I would love to give this restaurant 10+ stars. Never have I had such delicious food. Every mouthful of every dish was pure heaven! This was a birthday treat for my friend. We shared 6 small plates. I don't know which was THE best one. We started with drinks. He had the King Vidi and I the Shadowboxin. Both were expertly made. We then proceeded to enjoy Roasted oysters,Satsuma Mandarin salad, Tagliatelle, Foie Gras, Grilled Prawns and Grilled Broccoli. Every dish was spectacular and seasoned well. The accompanying sauces were smooth and velvety. We ended sharing a Chocolate Caramel Tart. My only issue was being seated next to the entrance where it was drafty whenever a new customer entered. I want to come back and try another selection of small plates. What a wonderful experience
Highly recommend!!!!“

“My husband and I were looking for something to get into on a Saturday night so we learned of Essie's by calling another entertainment restaurant in town that was closed for the night. We got to Essie's and was amazed at how upscale, clean, and close to home it was for us. The food was delicious as can be and the music was wonderful. Since we just walked in we were seated in the bar area at a table by the window. The whole vibe was on point for us. We were given a tour of the upstairs lounge which was empty that night bec no one had booked it for anything. Still it was beautiful as well as classy for giving a small to medium gathering of friends for a party or get together. The bathrooms were fashionably modern, beautiful, clean, and smelled great! We peeked into the stage area dining room to get a look since we weren't able to sit in there since all the tables were booked. It was very nice and classy. I can't wait to go back. Next time I'll be booking reservations for a dinner when they have live entertainment so we can sit in the stage area dining room and enjoy some live entertainment and another delicious meal. I'm so glad we found this spot. Now it will be our go to restaurant when we want to get out and hear some great soulful music. Way to go Essie!!! :)“

“Great Place! Great Food! Casual Atmosphere! Recommend!“

“Classy but casual atmosphere and some of the most inventive and impressive vegan dishes I’ve had anywhere. A mandatory stop whenever I’m in Philly!“

“I am giving Tattoed Mom’s all of the stars possible. The vibe is immaculate, food is spectacular, staff are top notch and it’s a super inviting place to hang out. Sunday craft night was amazing as well. Anyone on South St. needs to check out this gem. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Nice little spot, with nice energy. It can be a little tight inside, but given the shape of the building, it's to be expected. Though some people say the portions are small, I felt they were adequate and not dissimilar to say Bastia. I'm not a huge oyster person, but the recommendations were very good, especially paired with the zhug. Everyone we interacted with was lovely, but we were especially appreciative of Jordan, who gave us the majority of our recommendations.

We ate:
- psychedelicate
- stony shore
- bad boys
- broccolini caesar
- yellowtail pastrami
- crispy butterflied trout
- baby back ribs“

“Music on South St. continues thanks to Katie and Tom from Milkboy South St. You know there is a very easy way to su0porrt Philadelphia venues. Show up“

“Stopped by Superior yesterday after a hot, dusty day at the Conshohocken Mill! Ran into your tasting rep and loved your product 💯👍“

“Fantastic dining experience our server Sean Martin was amazing.“

“Absolute neighborhood gem. Fantastic Neapolitan-style pizza with a thin crispy base and chewy fluffy crust. Excellent, friendly, and PERSONAL service. Plenty of vegan options for plant-based pizza lovers!! A real treat and a fantastic start to any evening in Passyunk. So happy!“

“I was skeptical because I absolutely love eating meat. Meat and bbq is a huge part of my life. That being said dinner Saturday night was unbelievably fantastic. I absolutely loved everything that we ordered. Moms meatballs were my favorite dish. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that they are vegan. The cocktails were also delicious and strong. A++++ for this restaurant!“

“This spot is more than just a bar-it's a hookah lounge with a cozy vibe and delicious food. The ambient is perfect for relaxing with friends, dim lighting and good music creating the mood. Service is excellent, attentive without being pushy. A great place to unwind, enjoy tasty bites, and smoke quality hookah.“

“I’ve eaten here a few times and it’s always been fantastic. Tonight especially so. The setting is obviously unique but the food and service would deliver in any location.

From the second we got off the elevator we were friends. The host welcomed our kids and us (we normally don’t bring our kids to dinner) more naturally than those closest to us. We had a temporary diet restriction and the chef came out and talked us through it and tailored something specific to what we needed.

I work in this industry and spend pretty much all my free time in it too. Places like this are rare sources of both inspiration and aspiration for me.“

“Dope spot ....food great 👍🏾 nice vibes“

“I had an amazing meal at this restaurant! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We started off with the ribeye pinwheels appetizer, and they were a real treat—perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. For the main course, I went with the ribeye with mashed potatoes, and it was fantastic. The steak was so tender and juicy, and the mashed potatoes were creamy and flavorful, a great match for the ribeye. My friend had the filet mignon with a house salad, and it was cooked perfectly too. The filet was so tender and full of flavor, and the salad was fresh and crisp.

Everything came out just as we hoped—cooked to perfection and full of flavor. It was a great dining experience, and I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes from the menu!“
