50 Best Bars near Laurel Springs

“What can I say, I been coming to this place for years. You can not and I will say it again you cannot beat their 2 dollar lunch menu during the week and two dollar beers. There food is fantastic as well like their burgers and other sandwiches. I never had anything bad to eat from here and always a good time when I decide to sit in for a beer and some food. I don’t usually come here at night anymore but they were decent night bar few years back.“

“We visited the Yards Brewery for lunch and a brewery tour and were not disappointed. We are already familiar with many of their beers, but the brewery had some on tap were never tried before. All beers were great! We started with a soft pretzel which I must say, was amazing. Best pretzel I have ever eaten. The beer cheese was fabulous and the mustard was homemade with a touch of horseradish that gave it a wonderful bite. I enjoyed a Schwarburger next which was fantastic. The tour was great too. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. This is a great brewery and a lot of fun. I recommend it to any beer lover.“

“We love Sassafras. Drinks, food, service, music, vibe are all always on point. The impetus for this review is Carl specifically. When we were in last April we asked if he’d ever made a Ramos Gin Fizz. He had a moment of panic thinking we were asking him to make it. Then said if we come in on. Monday he’d make them. We went in on 8/19 and Carl was happy yo make them - we totally would’ve let him off the hook, and offered to help shake. I told him that one was enough but he wanted us to both have one. What a fun experience. Carl rocks!“

“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“

“We did a Sunday Funday at cake and kitchen. The food, service, and atmosphere for all perfect. Our waiter whose name was Colin was excellent. We highly recommend this location for cool drinks and a great menu.“

“Had a reservation for two here and I was running a little late because I had to look for parking (I would suggest taking public transportation) and they were very accommodating and allowing me to push back my reservation time to a half hour later. Once arriving, we checked in at the front desk and to the right of you are tablets where you can sign your waiver. I do love that this is a different experience however, I lack the upper body strength and aim to do this for an hour straight. I personally was fine with just a half hour lol.

I ordered wings and a drink. It did take some time for the food and drinks to come out. The food came out first and then maybe 20 minutes later the drinks came out that’s why I took a star away for service because it was such a long wait. And the place was not crowded at all. The wings were OK in flavor, I got buffalo and it wasn’t really all that hot. But they were doable.“

“Sam is the best! He was our ride share driver on a super busy Philly Saturday. We were looking for a place to eat and he happened to own a restaurant. He walked us in, set the table and gave us a discount! Food and service was just what we were looking for. We enjoyed the turkey sandwich, French onion soup, tomato soup crab cakes and grilled cheeses!“

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

“Mussels with beer broth and crab bruschetta were great. The apple and gorganzola salad was good too.

Skip the Birria short rib quesadilla. They were greasy and the meat was fatty. Not much flavor.

But cute little place. I would go back.“

“This was the first time going to the Bank Bar. At first I said look at all these young people. After being there for awhile I had so many people from my past welcoming me. It was a very relaxing place.I will be returning..“

“Carlo was our server this evening and he was absolutely awesome. He was very attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu and options.

Parking: There’s street parking as well as a garage across the street with minimal
Fees.“

“Went there since 1974. I knew Tony Corrado that made the wing sauce. Greatest cook I have ever known. All the people including the owner’s past and present are like family.!“

“The staff was great the bar appetizers were delicious. Will go back.“

“Great lunch special and good people“

“Everything! Friendly atmosphere great barmaid’s!“

“Bar hopped all day and didnt feel comfortable settling anywhere until we felt accepted by the bartender. Mike was such a vibe and entirely the reason we stayed!!! He was so fun and we almost didn’t want to leave!!! This man is truly such a gem to the business and I would only come back if he’s working! Thank you Mike for such a fun Sunday and we can’t wait to see you again!!!“

“Very clean, nice atmosphere, friendly staff & customers. Great place to hang out with friends. Quality bar food! Worth my 90 minute ride! Will be back!“

“Service was great and the food might be the best in the city“

“Old style neighborhood pub with great atmosphere and fantastic tavern food“

“Had my wife’s 40th Birthday Party here last night. Sean and his team were amazing from helping with planning to execution for the evening. They went above and beyond on numerous occasions to make the night perfect. I would highly recommend for any private events in the upstairs. 5-stars all the way around“

“Worth the drive, for sure! Networking events are ALWAYS fun at Splitz. I have been there more than a dozen times (and then I go home to Newark Delaware.) When it comes to network events, this is an AMAZING place to be found.“

“Great service! Great Food! Wonderful service! My daughter and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously! Such a friendly and kind staff! If you need a bite to eat in a relaxing atmosphere, check it out!“

“If you like wings this is your place a hidden gem. 50 cent wing night on Thursday nights you can't go wrong ten wings for five bucks 3 of us had three orders two sodas and one Corona $27.50. this place is right off of 2nd Street mummers row at Snyder and you never know who or what you will run into. I had a great time and I will definitely be back and I recommend this place highly.“

“Pretty good selection of beers and there are more than enough TVs to tune in to watch whatever local game you’re trying to catch. I think the service could be a bit better but other than that, it’s a fine little watering hole for locals.“

“Great neighborhood establishment.“

“Great Open Mic. Talented Musicians playing the Blues“

“I’ve been driving past the Old Rail Tavern forever and never thought to stop until a recent IG reel hooked me with tales of their amazing wings.Parking’s a bit quirky since they’re right on the main road, but I managed to snag a spot near the rail. First thing I noticed was their cool outdoor section, which looks like it’s designed to open up when the weather’s nice—very inviting!Once inside, we grabbed seats at the large bar and got a warm welcome from Dan, who was super helpful. We went for it with the wings, a Caesar salad (definitely big enough to share), crab fries, and French onion soup. The soup wasn’t really my thing, but those wings? They lived up to the hype. I’m already planning my next visit. This place is definitely worth stopping by!

Parking: On a busy day, I bet it will be tough to find parking since there is a brewery across the street.“

“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.“

“Had a ball always a turn up spot the food was great them fried shrimp hit different shout out to the Sunday Chef ice cold non alcoholic beer the bar staff is great love them they all they the bomb and the owner don't take no mess when it comes to drama he put you right out at the drop of a dime“

“My family! Love this place ❤️“

“I couldn’t say enough good things. Had dinner with a friend and our kids. BEST shrimp & broccoli over penne that I’ve ever had. The kids went crazy for the pizza. The waitress (who’s name I sadly forget) was so nice and helpful. She was the greatest. We had a wonderful dinner and will be back soon.“

“Awesome fool and interesting wall art. Gotchu some of that Sunday Brunch. Grab a Mamosa while your at it.“

“The food was amazing, probably one of the best food I've ate. The only thing that was disturbing was the noise level, it was a bit too loud. Which makes sense because everyone is sitting so close but I would rate it a 4/5 because of the food and amazing service!“

“Great vibes!!! Drunks, drinks and more drinks!!“

“Beer and pizza in a nice atmosphere at its best“

“This place was a last min pick on a drunk night with my boo! We picked it because it was close to our room and they served alcohol!!! The atmosphere was nice there seemed to be sone type of after party for a group of older professionals. They were friendly and throwing back beers! We ordered tequila honey zing wings and fries. The food was actually really good! The only issue was they only accepted cash? is this 1965!?! Anyway my boo had to use the ATM that was ironically out of money lol the owner or manager was speedy and filled it up for us to give him his money back lol but overall not a bad experience!! We would go back for another late night after spot alcohol / munchies run !! lol“

“Great selection of New Jersey beers. Good selection of food. Always willing to accommodate our bigger group . A constant for us when we’re in the area for baseball tournaments.

Kid-friendliness: Always there after baseball games with 5-10 kids and parents.“

“Beat wings I’ve had in south jersey . Really good sauce and jumbo sized wings. Cooked exactly how we asked for a decent price . Def will return for the wings. Hats off to the chef in the kitchen.“

“Love this place. Been going there for decades.“

“This place is my preferable place. Of all restaurants I know I like it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this place. when I want to go to a good meal, this restaurant comes straight to my head. Great and food and a large menu.well mannered staff members, and great vibes. Also, the price is affordable. I recommend this place with pleasure.“

“You can play shuffleboard and the drinks are very reasonable“

“My wife and I came here for the Cocktail Culture mixology class, which for us was about zero proof (mocktails). Jung was a super friendly, fun and helpful teacher. We had awesome time!

Dietary restrictions: They were super informative about cocktails that would avoid gluten, dairy, and egg alergies.“

“This place checks off all the boxes. Great staff, great atmosphere and great prices. One of the few places that I will change my schedule or go out of my way for. Today I decided on the Cheesesteak Quesadilla and House Fries served with Spicy Ketchup and Chipotle Mayo. If you are ever in South Philly do not I repeat DO NOT hesitate to stop in! Tell them Bubba sent ya!“

“Speedy's Liquors is a place that I frequent very often for my lottery purchases and tobacco products. The place is always clean and neatly stocked. The staff is always welcoming and courteous. On the other side is a quaint but stylish bar. I think the bartender that was there when I attended was Tracey; she makes good drinks so make sure you tip her and she will not disappoint. Besides that, the place is very comfortable despite the lack of square footage and the patrons are usually very chill. You either play music from the jukebox, or off of your phone which to me is even better! There are seperate bathrooms for men and women as well. I stopped by one day on a whim, and have every intention on revisiting because Speedy's was a pleasant surprise. If you're ever in the area, don't count them out!“

“Friendly staff! Great food & drinks.“

“It's good, the only thing that the security take from you is because you fell asleep or you spilled a beer, but they never ask you if you want a taxi, they just take you out and put you on the street, they don't care about us as consumers, they don't take care of their customers, I hope there will be no other places for them to respect their customers. ???“
