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“

“Great cocktails and food and super fun vibe. Stopped here with friends. Cocktails were delicious and very unique. Starters like the fried pickled asparagus and the pimento cheese were delicious. Awesome hot dogs and boardwalk fries. Friendly staff and bartenders and great music.“

“I’ve only managed to make it to this place twice, the first time mid-June after getting off work early from Brooklyn Bowl just down the street, and the second a few hours before writing this review. Even after getting a hair cut between my first and second visit, Kyle and Josiah immediately recognized me just as I walked in. Despite its small size with the only food in the place being available from a vending machine (Primarily chips and a few other snacks.), the range of drinks was wonderful, with my two choices in particular being the pisco sour (a little rich, very juicy, and the chocolate shavings complementing those characteristics pleasantly), and the Smoke And Barrels (A Manhattan combining the classic rye element with mezcal and an amaro, wonderfully balanced with the smoky and spirit-forward aspects, a little tart from the cherry, easily one of my favorite ever riffs on a classic). Apart from the aforementioned cocktails, I also had a couple shots of the rum blend which was phenomenal, straight juicy and bright. I’d be happy to try it again.

The drinks are only part of the fun. As I had already stated, Kyle and Josiah IMMEDIATELY recognized my face as I walked in, despite the massive haircut, and they were just as awesome from my prior visit months ago. Even better, I gifted a tiki bottle opener that my coworker gave me a couple years ago over the holidays, and it is still there, evidently standing strong as ever, if you’re interested in asking them. Moving forward from that, I had some wonderful conversations with some fellow patrons. One of them was particularly buzzed, and even then our conversation wasn’t hampered by that. The compact, intimate feel to this place is wonderful, especially if you’re having a night out with friends or on a date for just drinks.

It’s largely focused on vibes, bringing new faces together, and just overall having a wonderful time without getting messed up. Believe me, this is the type of place you come to for wonderful drinks and splendid vibes, and staff who don’t just know what they’re doing, but know they can, and WILL have fun committing themselves to their craft. That’s what has truly made me come back, and it will remain that way. I’m looking forward to my next stop here, the next drinks, and my next wonderful conversations. Cheers to all who see this, and happy sailing!

A short, final note: Be prepared to drink lots of water. The staff are all in the mindset of hydrating everyone regardless of how busy it is. The second your glass of water is on the verge, it will be refilled before you can say anything. Something I love seeing in bars and restaurants, cheers!“

“Hands down, the best drinks in the city! Each cocktail was like a work of art—thoughtfully crafted with incredible attention to detail and flavor. You can really tell the bartenders put care and creativity into every pour.
This spot is perfect for a date night or if you’re just in the mood to treat yourself to an exceptional cocktail experience. The vibe is relaxed yet stylish, and the staff couldn’t be more friendly or knowledgeable.
Absolutely loved my time here and can’t wait to come back for more. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Absolutely love love love Kiddo - the menu changes based on what's in season, and the chef's thoughtfulness and attention to detail are unsurpassed. Many dishes are veggie-forward, creative and sensational, but my (fussy) husband swears the pork is the best he's ever had. Drinks are perfect, fresh bread heavenly. Can't recommend highly enough!“

“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 ♡♡♡♡♡“

“Great food- attentive waitstaff.“

“Edit: due to a computer glitch, which told us we could get in at 8 AM, we got to go arcade three hours early. They did not let us in until an hour before, But they were so hospitable and apologetic, they even upgraded our seats. Cheers to them. For doing the right thing. Customer service is fantastic. Thank you, Bethany for your help.

I love the bar. The one in England was way better, though. They had their stuff together. I know this one was only open a few weeks before we got there. But they made you actually leave the building and get back in line to come back in.They need to work on their efficiency. Otherwise, the staff were fairly friendly.“

“Very nice establishment I discovered it sadly after howl at the moon closed.... for its size it is close corners at times but still great I personally luv the low key lighting for the chandler's and high top tables around to welcome random goers :) last Saturday I came and the bartender made a great old fashion tonight I stuck with a basic drink ? with in 10 -15 second not making it up I was greeted and served ? absolutely worth coming again ?

Kid-friendliness: Friendly bartenders and front door host“

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

“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.“

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

“Great food and drinks At happy hour“

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

“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.“

“Enswell is a gorgeous restaurant (even the loo is worth a visit... think high gloss burgundy and wallpaper) and bottle shop, and the service is some of the best I've experienced in the city thus far. The sausage was so good, the flat white was excellent, and the potatoes are perfectly crispy. You're in a great neighborhood for roaming, some light shopping, and people watching. Highly recommend and so happy we spent our Friday morning at a sweet little two-top outside chatting with our server-- great way to start the weekend.“

“Killer cocktails! We will be back!“

“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.“

“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!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾“

“I want to recommend a trusted and legit trader. I use to make little profits on trading options account but when I came in contact with Mrs Sophia James fx, I made $12,000 within a week by trading with her. She is the best in forex/binary options trade, contact her today and thank me afterwards.“

“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. 👍🏻“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Amazing atmosphere with incredible service and great food! Thank you Bellini!“

“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!!! :)“

“Pretty atmosphere and good food“

“This restaurant is a love letter to food. The service was amazing, the ambience was fantastic, and the food was some of the best I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing in Philly. My gf and I stopped during a busy Friday service and got seating right away at the bar with full menu available. I hope every employee here is shown gratitude for the excellent restaurant they are running. We will be back many more times!“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“The Bok building is a magical place, but go to the roof and eat at Irwins. The food, drink, and service was outstanding. The outdoor rooftop seating has a beautiful view of south Philly. Our reservation was outside. During our experience it did rain a bit, but it was worth staying. Our server was a trooper for keeping the patio goin. At night during a Phils/Eagles game you can hear the crowd roar. Electric.

The food and drink was great. There are Mezze, Pasta, Main Entree and Dessert options. I assume the menu is seasonal based on the ingredients, but I am unsure. There is a cocktail menu, wine offerings and full bar. I didnt have time to even take pictures of all the food and cocktails we were enjoying it soo much. We ordered about half the menu and will be returning to order the remaining items.

Dessert is worth it's own mention. At a lot of places, dessert is kinda a throwaway/pass. Not at Irwins. I told my wife we will also be coming back to Irwins solely for drinks and desserts next time we are eating somewhere else close by. We got the Milk and Honey Pistachio Gelato and an Almond Torta Cake that should be nominated for some kind of award.

I would recommend making a reservation. If the weather is nice, eat outside. Tell your spouse you are taking them to a Sicily Roof Jawn for dinner.“

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

“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.“

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

“My wife and I just visited this place for the first time, and I really liked how friendly and welcoming Brian was. The drinks were excellent, and I loved that they were all zero alcohol. My wife doesn't drink much and prefers zero-proof options. I also appreciate that it's an LGBTQ-owned establishment. It has a very homey vibe, making you feel like you're hanging out at a friend's place. We wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the drag karaoke but we did not realize there was an event and had only planned to stay for a drink or two. We will follow for the events from now on!“
