50 Best Bars near Gloucester City

“Great spot in Gloucester City. Quality food and drinks and great service here!“

“This is truly the best kept secret. This place rocks, darts, pool table, great atmosphere, and the porch is awesome. specially during a storm!! At 1st it looks like a house, but when you enter, it's a great place for happy hour and like a "CHEERS." Bartenders are awesome and the food is actually simple and decent. I love how you can go off the menu items and order what you want. If they have it, it can be done!“

“I love that bar.. The only thing I wish I could change would be having more elbow room to walk around. I don't blame them for it but you can't walk around people at all between the bar and the tables. Otherwise, the atmosphere, people, drinks, food and music are always great every time we're there. Of all the bars in our neighborhood this is probably one of my favorites even with the very little space in most of the bar. And it's always nice and clean.“

“Heads up for tomorrow if anyone doesn’t have plans Bayer’s has a FREE buffet and the new owner blaze is AMAZING!! He is so sweet and sent me home with honey biscuits and let us try his potato salad and homemade stuffing!! He’s the sweetest!!“

“Hell Yeeeaaaahh!! it's a GREAT Lil' Hometown bar!🍺 Pool nights 🎱 every week so STOP in & Sit ur A$$ down!😉 Nero's Pub: "Where Everybody~ knows yer Fkn Name- n ya wish they Didn't😜😜😜😜🤟🏼🎱🍺🍹🍸... C U There! 😂😂😂😂“

“We dined at Max’s last evening for Valentine’s Day. The special four course menu had a variety of options and the food was cooked to perfection. The place was full, yet the service remained professional and upbeat. We will definitely be back soon!“

“Killer cocktails! We will be back!“

“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.“

“Tim is the friendliest bartender ever!!!!“

“Friendly staff! Hostess was great as was our server. I only know she had a unique name. Not a large menu but what they do offer is amazing. Great atmosphere too!“

“My partner and I aren't in Philly often, but when we are, we absolutely have to stop at Monk's for the smoked trout dip and Ghent mussels, and whatever tasty brew from the extensive beer selection. Highly recommend!!“

“Cute spot for a drink. Interesting mix of drink options and prices were quite reasonable for the area. The seating is a bit limited but we were lucky enough to grab a seat right by the bar. Bartenders were super friendly and quick. Didn't get any food but the sandwiches around us looked interesting and would consider coming back to try these.“

“Amazing food and service. Not a bad place to catch a game.“

“We came on a whim, and were blown away by the sushi. The miso butter cod and the eel signature rolls in particular were excellent, but everything we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted incredible. Will be back next time we’re in town.

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian portion of the menu is comparatively small, but the options look tasty“

“Yards represents a great story of a local business that does well enough to expand and grow. The location offers a great variety of food as well as the iconic brews they're known for, in an open, though sometimes loud, environment. Parking options aren't great if you're not walking or Ubering, but it's the city so that's to be expected. That said, I was so happy when they took over this former commercial space and transformed it a few years ago and demonstrates how successful their brand has become and not just in the Philadelphia area!“

“Lots of Vegan options that are very tasty!“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We just love our new family restaurant! We get treated like family everytime we go!!!! The atmosphere is so cozy and the staff is exceptional. And let's talk about the food - it's absolutely to die for! The portions during happy hour are perfect and the prices are so reasonable.

But the best part? Let me introduce you to DAVID! He's the star of the show - always attentive, funny, and he makes drinks like a true master! Whenever I go, I insist on being seated with David.

They made our anniversary so special and they truly care about their guests' experience. We feel so lucky to have this gem in the neighborhood. I'd travel far and wide for this level of excellence!

Oh, and I can't forget to mention my favorites: The Good Good Things drink, the Buffalo wings during happy hour, and the amazing cheesesteak! And my kids absolutely love the huge, deep dish, extra cheesy pizza.

We're off to our reservation with David - can't wait! If you go, make sure to say hi to him and tell him Mink sent you!

Almost forgot the fresh house made potato chips!!!! So so so good!!! Don't skip them!

Kid-friendliness: Always awesome and patient with my kids!“

“I just joined Five Iron Fishtown and I love it. The location is great and I love the vibes of the inside. The hours are perfect as I generally go to use the simulators before work in the morning and work on my swing or play a round. I’ve also had a few lessons with Senior Golf Pro Matt Davis and I can already tell my swing has gotten better. With the technology they have and following Matt’s direction I feel like I’ll be performing a lot better once I get on an actual course. Highly recommend.“

“Great bartender, incredible music selection and possibly the best burger in the city. Especially for the dollar it is the best burger. The beer list was absolutely incredible and diverse. Happy hour like everywhere in this town means two dollar off pints. Even on days like St. Patrick’s Day, they still are efficient and friendly at Fountain Porter.

Parking: It’s South Philly. You know what you’re getting into. It’s busy.

Kid-friendliness: Due to the neighborhood, there are kids around during happy hour, and strollers can be common“

“Wow what a great place! Great atmosphere, good food & the best beer on tap!! Highly recommended!“

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.“

“great service and good food“

“Awesome menu, great vibes and really tasty food. Must try this place.“

“My wife and I accidentally found this gem on the way back to our Airbnb, and honestly, it felt like the universe gave us a high-five. The crowd? Chef’s kiss—young, old, and every flavor of humanity in between. The live three-piece jazz band was absolutely melting faces (in the classy jazz way, not the metal way). Drinks were so cheap I had to double-check we weren’t on a happy hour hallucination. The vibes? Immaculate. We might just move in—or at least go back tonight.“

“Awesome!! Never had a bad meal!! Wine was excellent as well…friendly staff ❤️“

“food and drinks were great“

“Als Touristen sind wir ohne große Erwartungen ins Dirty Frank's. Wir wurden im Prinzip am ersten Tag schon als Stammgäste angesehen. Ab dem zweiten Tag, fühlten wir uns auch so. Absolut super Service, sehr nette Menschen im der Bar. Coole Jukebox, günstige Getränke. Sollte es uns jemals wieder nach Philly verschlagen, wird Dirty Frank's Bar das Erste sein, was wir besuchen werden.“

“Great place, selection of spirits and the food is outstanding! Check out the bartender Eddie, that's my guy“

“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“

“Just to illustrate how incredible the food and drinks are- I was broken up with at Sassafras (guy totally broke my heart), and I STILL come back whenever I get the chance, haha. I’m from out of town and occasionally work for a couple weeks a year in Philly, and I absolutely love Sassafras. I go out of my way to have at least one meal here when I’m in town. The atmosphere is incredible- especially for interior design/architecture junkies- the mosaic floor and tile work is lovely, vintage cocktails are beautifully made, and the food is unique and delicious. I couldn’t recommend it strongly enough.“

“A neighborhood institution for good reason. The food is good and the feel of the the New Wave is enhanced by a nearly endless collection of autographed photos, magazine covers and LP jackets of both local and global sport and entertainment personalities.“

“A home away from home for Commanders fans living in Philadelphia. Old Bay is featured heavily on the menu, as it should be. They easily accommodated our walk in party of 14 and put up with us playing "Hail To The Redskins" on the jukebox repeatedly.

*To the couple Commanders fans who left negative reviews, that's not cool and you're missing the joke.*“

“Bartender Bobby is great!!“

“So, they made a mistake when me and my family came here and two people got their meals very late. That happens in all restaurants though. They did a fantastic job fixing their mistakes and owning up to it though, comping those two meals and offering more. I think that's really more important than perfection, since the latter is impossible.“

“Great atmosphere. Awesome staff. Of course, great drinks!“

“Our group had such a good time! It was my granddaughter's 12th birthday and we all had so much fun ! The staff was helpful and added to the fun ! We loved following the book and making our own potions ! The food was great, and the adult beverages were the best! These guys pay attention to detail and really care about your experience. And, of course the decor and atmosphere was purfect ! Thanks for a great day !“

“Such an amazing view of the city! But they had a very limited menu for food. I wish there were a couple more options. Also we went in October and it got a little chilly on the roof. I was surprised that there wasn’t any heaters or blankets available to make customers comfortable. There also wasn’t any fall drinks/ warm drinks, I feel like that was a missed opportunity. Overall a nice time, but a couple things could have made it better.“

“Beautiful atmosphere , fun foods with great flavor“

“The bayou basically birthed my child. I had their 25 cent wings every Monday and Tuesday leading up to my due date. I was actually in the bar when my water broke and the staff were so friendly and assisted me until my husband could arrive. Can’t wait for my little girl to try their food when she’s older!“

“Service and food was amazing! Highly recommended“

“It’s harder and harder to find a good cocktail for under $20 in a big city. Poison Heart gives you excellent cocktails, great small bites, and an unpretentious environment in spades. Oysters and waffle fries hit. The Songs About Keri is a quaffable, less sweet version of a good margarita. The Goodbye Horses is a nicely acidic, bright redo on a classic Old Fashioned.“

“Let me start I did read all the bad reviews before heading over there so I didn’t have great expectations.However as a cheapskate and a craft beer lover especially searching for my lessor common styles of beer, I typically go by each bar and restaurant in airport and scan QR code to see beer selection and check pricing.Most places here in Philadelphia Airport straight rip off at 16 per pint, but when you want a beer you’re stuck. Anyway when I first approached the counter I was absolutely expecting to be poked since they didn’t show prices only beer menu.Luckily they had something for me that I was going to purchase regardless, A nice strong Golden at 8%.I was then blown away upon seeing I got a 20oz, normally higher ABV beers are served in smaller 12oz glasses. Any full pour of 20oz was only 10 bucks and I was expecting at least 20, left me room in budget to not only get 2nd beer plus a pretty solid hotdog and chips.Biggest plus was Connor the bar tender, was super cool and attentive, and then informed me I was safe to take my cup and walk back to my terminal, since I walked a fair distance just to check out all beer options.Lastly, unlike most other restaurants In airport it’s kind of obvious if your paying attention that their section is not owned and maintained by airport, as most restaurants have tables and chairs with chargers that kind of blend from restaurants into gates, so I kinda understand their right to ask people to patronize their business or ask them to leave, I was lucky to find a spot at the bar.Not excusing anyone ever treated rudely, and definitely not my experience.“

“One of the best places to become a regular at great drink, great food, great prices. Staff, especially management staff, are lovely and care about their customers. Alone? No problem, they've got cool and interesting people behind the bar who want to chat. With a group? They've got tables for you.

Vegetarian options: Cold spicy noodles, and vegan burgers always available. Great salad option as well.

Parking: Street larking available on Frankford Ave and side streets. Easy to find parking after 4-5pm.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible :/“

“The pizza was phenomenal!!!.“

“Great lunch special and good people“

“I went to Jet Wine bar for a Halloween movie night with a friend. They were understaffed but they still went above and beyond to take care of us. Food and drinks were excellent. We watched the movie inside even though they were only serving outside. It was so kind and really an unnecessary accommodation they made for us to enjoy our time there. I'll definitely be going back!

Vegetarian options: Great veggie burger with vegan cheese too“

“Great service, food and drinks. Dylan was our bartender and server. On point with everything, friendly and accommodating. We will be back!“

“This place is fun for a family with older teens. Several groups around us, of all adults, were having a lot of fun too. We have older teens and this was a great way to spend an evening together. The staff is the best part about this place. They are friendly and attentive. The food is basic bar fare but not bad at all, it hits the spot. The axe throwing is a good time. Our instructor was excellent and I landed way more axes than I didn’t after some instruction. The gals at the bar were super friendly. We will definitely come back each time we visit our college kiddo in Philly.“
