50 Best Cocktail Bars near Hi Nella

“It's a great location, and atmosphere friendly! Shows are a big plus and party with DJ/s all are a great time out with dinner and drinks in New Jersey!! Great Job!“

“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! ❤️“

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

“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.“

“I always love my experience at Kiddo! The seasonal menu changes with what’s fresh and I love how they keep their sources local. The food is creative, surprising, and incredibly tasty. A perfect date spot or a great choice for a night out with the locavore in your life.“

“My friends and I came here after a dinner last night. Our dinner ran longer than anticipated and we called to double check if we could still come since we’d miss the reservation time. They were so nice and told us to come still.

We were seated with Taylor who explained everything about the drinks in such great detail and gave recommendations based on ours likes and dislikes.

The decor and vibe were lovely, the bathroom clean, the staff very friendly. Everyone in our party agreed we would return.

Highly recommend.“

“Atmosphere was adorable, it felt busy but not crowded, like the place to be but also like a hidden gem. It probably would have been a once-and-done type of spot for me EXCEPT for Gianna who made this place feel like home, I showed up alone & she was immediately chatting me up. Gave me the BEST recommendations & helped me learn how to order my new go-to drink. She is one of the most personable bartenders I’ve ever had.“

“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.“

“We had an amazing time! The arcade was fun, clean, and had a great atmosphere, but what really made the experience stand out was the customer service. Mahogani went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and was incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional throughout our visit. Thanks again for making our visit memorable—we’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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. 👍🏻“

“Killer cocktails! We will be back!“

“If you like seafood go for it, cause everything has a bit of taste of fish or seaweed even the hot dog and chicken sandwich.
I couldn't eat cause I don't like seafood but my husband loved it.
Super nice staff, great drinks“

“Nice sunday vibe. It was on the quiet side when i went. Great hostess, attentive waiter.
Poke tacos were top tier. I will go back specifically for them 😂
Dart games were fun.
I had a great time with my spouse for our 8th wedding anniversary!“

“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.“

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

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

“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 time at the Atlantic City location tonight. The bartender Colleen provided exceptional service and was so fun to talk to!“

“Just love this place! Dirty martini was great , and the curated selection of outside NA offerings never disappoints. My wife and I love going here to hang out especially for a pre dinner mocktail .. I end up shazaming an embarrassing amount. I suppose once is embarrassing. Anyway, love this place!“

“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.“

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

“Alice is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why dining out can be an art form. As a visitor to Philadelphia, the meal felt less like dinner and more like an invitation into a creative conversation between the kitchen, the ingredients, and the season itself.
What impressed me most was the restaurant's confidence. The menu is ambitious and inventive, yet never feels experimental for the sake of novelty. Each dish was thoughtful, balanced, and deeply satisfying, allowing exceptional ingredients to shine while still delivering moments of surprise. There is a clear point of view behind the food, but it is expressed with restraint and precision rather than excess.
In a city celebrated for its dining scene, it takes something special to stand out. Alice manages to do exactly that. Every course felt intentional, revealing a kitchen that is both imaginative and disciplined. There was always something unexpected to discover, which made the experience feel exciting from beginning to end.
The atmosphere complements the food perfectly—warm, welcoming, and intimate enough to encourage lingering over each course. It is rare to find a restaurant that feels both elevated and approachable, where serious culinary talent is matched by genuine hospitality.
Philadelphia is known for outstanding food, and Alice has distinguished itself as one of the most memorable and rewarding dining experiences I enjoyed during my visit. Long after returning home, I still find myself thinking about specific dishes, flavors, and moments from the evening—a testament to how thoughtfully every aspect of the experience is crafted.
For anyone visiting Philadelphia in search of a truly exceptional meal, Alice deserves a place at the very top of the list.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“We sat at the bar and got to hang with Paul. He was a fantastic bartender and very attentive - he really made our experience. Ask him what he’s been cooking up recently and he’ll make you something fantastic. Really loved this place and can’t wait to come back.“

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

“Great food and drinks At happy hour“

“A really fun bar to visit if you want to be in a cute environment. They always go all out with decorations which change throughout the year. They also have seasonal drinks. The service might be a little slow but it’s usually because they’re so busy especially on the weekends. But the staff are very friendly!“

“STATIC! is such a lovely addition to the Gayborhood. The cocktails are creative and thoughtfully crafted, the space feels cozy and welcoming, and the staff genuinely make you feel at home. Finn was my bartender and really made the experience memorable: friendly, attentive, and passionate! Can't wait to come back. :-)“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Pretty atmosphere and good food“

“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.“

“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!!! :)“

“I visited 2/22/26 Do not listen to any reviews but THIS ONE!!! I was so skeptical to visit after reading the reviews, I decided to go in person and check everything out for myself. The inside was very clean. The service was outstanding, I was greeted, sat and offered water Immediately for take out! I ordered half cheese with basil and the other side was Magic mushroom, it totaled $21 (pricey where) This by far was top pizza I’ve ever had in Philly and I know pizza, I lived in NYC!!! this place set the bar!! I mean perfect crust, the sauce was flavorful with the right amount and the cheese was so rich and cheesy! I went back three days later to confirm it was really that good and consistent…new chef, same great pizza!! I had to leave a review because I don’t know what these people are talking about and I need this place to stay open because IT’S THAT GOOOOD!!! This is an honest review! Definitely visit them, thank me later Philly!!“

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

“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“

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

“Excellent! The barman was exceptional, the receptionist was super warm and welcoming...Even the person that brought some small plates at the bar was nice. The food was good and the drinks were great! Beautiful setting!
Highly recommended.“

“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!“

“I had a great experience dining here yesterday for my birthday with my boyfriend!

Service was great! Lydia was our server and she was awesome! Explained the menu well and gave great recommendations! I even got a little birthday card from the chef which was a really sweet touch

Food was overall pretty good. We tried 3 different pastas and enjoyed the bucatini the best! The gelato was soo good and drinks were great as well!

Fun decor and great location and ambiance! Would definitely recommend for a fun and unique dining experience with great service!“

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

“Samantha was a great waitress. The marg flight was amazing, the tacos, tortilla soup & tres leches cake was to die for. 10/10! Always delicious food!“

“We had a great dinner and the bartender Vasanth was great! Food was fresh and very tasty. Nice restaurant to visit if in Penn Landing area in Philadelphia“

“5 Stars!!! Most authentic Napoletana Pizza found this side of the pond! The starter dough was brought over from Naples,IT. The oven from Italy. If you’re in Philly, you must go and taste for yourself. I lived in Naples, Italy for over 5 years…Chefs Joe & Angela nailed it again. Oh and if you haven’t tried their restaurant, Cicala, is right across the hall in the historic divine Lorraine hotel. 5 stars!!!“
