“My friends and I had an amazing experience at Fabrika! We went for my birthday after hearing great things. The show and performers were spectacular. Very interactive and entertaining. The food and drinks were also delicious, and our server was so accommodating. And at the end, they open the dance floor, which is so fun! 10/10.“

“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.“

“Just left this place. My bartender may very well have been the best bartender ever. Attentive. Considerate. She was the kind of person you wanted to be your best friend within a few minutes. I’d gladly come back simply to enjoy her company again or the atmosphere of the bar again. P.S another bonus star… the hostess had fantastic, chic taste in clothing. If that pushes you towards dining here.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pudge’s Pub Review I had an amazing experience at Pudge’s Pub — so good that I went for both lunch and dinner! The food was absolutely incredible. The hoagie at lunch was hands-down the best I’ve ever had. For dinner, I tried the shrimp fra Diavolo, and I’m extremely particular about that dish… but this was a 10 out of 10. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and truly impressive. Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be back!“

“Popped in for a quick beer (lived in Ardmore years ago and always loved a Tired Hands brew. Bartenders were great- so friendly! Got the Alien Church IPA- excellent! Phillies game was on too and they were up, so all good;-) Great local bar, would definitely recommend and return.“

“I came here for a live music show and was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. It has a very speakeasy vibe and a great place to spend an evening. The venue, Margolis, wasn't serving food that night but the drink I had was delicious.

“This place is a hidden gem. It has a great Vibe… super cozy! The cocktails are like art! Everyone was friendly (even the other patrons) and welcoming as soon as you walked in. Perfect spot to sit inside or they have outdoor seating as well to relax and indulge in their many fabulous drinks! I will definitely be going back. Thank you for the relaxing evening!“

“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!“

“I’ve been here 3x now and can’t say enough good things. The service is always great, even when it’s packed it’s easy to get drinks. The food is EXCELLENT. The vegetarian options are abundant and SO GOOD. Probably my favorite place that’s come to this neighborhood in ages. The prices are good too!“

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

“It’s the place to be! City style bar program without the city 🩶🥃“

“Something going on with air conditioning. Hotter inside than outside. We go almost every week and I’m always freezing. Haven’t been there in about a month though. Poor servers are all sweating- can’t imagine the kitchen staff! Won’t be going back until it’s cooler outside.“

“Stopped by this cocktail bar located inside Hotel Anna & Bel because a friend was staying there. The atmosphere is very chill, we sat in the Library next to the bar and the service was attentive. The Drinks were delightful and I would definitely recommend this place as a date night spot“

“Oh yes, oh yes! The Jambalaya, also the Sheperds Pie are wonderful. Drink prices are very reasonable and are served from a polished woodwork bar area. Check out Blaize’s inflatable greeter at the front door.“

“I visited Port Richmond Pub in Philadelphia and thought it was a classic neighborhood bar with a welcoming, friendly vibe. Locals and newcomers alike stop in for cold beers, cocktails, and a relaxed atmosphere that feels like a real hometown spot.

The drink selection is solid, with a mix of domestic and craft beers plus spirits that pair well with tasty pub food — people especially like the cheesesteaks and cutlets when they’re there. The staff are known for being friendly and attentive, which makes it easy to settle in and enjoy the place for a few hours.

Port Richmond Pub also hosts fun events like bingo nights, which adds a lively, community feel to the experience. It’s the kind of bar where you can grab a drink, eat well, and chat with locals — great for a casual night out.“

“Great food! Amazing atmosphere!🍔🍟🍻 def going to go back!“

“Amazing place with amazing food! The fries were great and I recommend getting them with the Wiz. Unfortunately, we are from our of town, otherwise this would would be one to add to the rotation for sure!

The service was good as well as our waitress helped answer our questions and made sure we were always well taken care of while there.“

“Great spot!! Full of history…cheap still and old school“

“Cheesesteak tots were so good. Woke up in the middle of the night thinking about them“

“Been having their Valentine’s Day dinner there for the last 8 years. ALWAYS an amazing time. The food is exceptional. Their Chef is OUTSTANDING!!! Staff is so professional, knowledgeable, and FUN!!! BEST risotto!!!!!!!“

“Such a great spot! Even though I’m not a cider person the bartender worked with us to make sure we found the perfect cider to drink for the night. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Service and food was amazing! Highly recommended“

“Great lunch special and good people“

“We weren't fans of the Chicken Pot Pie bread bowl. It was ok. It tasted like it came out of a soup can and dumped in the bread bowl, not fresh made.
The crab dip appetizer was ok, but it was too salty. The accompanying garlic bread was good.
The pork roll and cheese sandwich was very good. There was plenty of meat and the right amount of cheese. We're not fans of the brioche bread, but it was ok. We had asked, when we ordered, if we could get it on a kaiser roll, but I guess they didn't have that option.
The tots were good.
My wife really liked the Egg Nog Martini; it had plenty of alcohol.“

“I love this place. The cocktails are always consistently solid and served by attentive and engaging bartenders. Dad's Hat, of course, specializes in Pennsylvania Rye, but this tasting room offers so much more. In addition to their wide array of different ryes, they have a meticulously curated assortment of spirits and beers to craft a wide assortment of well crafted cocktails. Truly a great experience!“

“First time there, went thanks to Diner Drives and Dines recommendations. The WIT was so good. Atmosphere and service was awesome.! Love the vibe there. We will be back!“

“The Bridesburg Pub for years is a fun place to go. There is always people that you know in there. This particular late day into night visit was awesome with our bartender, Tony, who we were all meeting for the first time. He was very friendly, attentive to our drinks, just a great guy!. My girlfriend and I were on a Chambord kick and I was impressed that they had that liqueur and Tony was no stranger in making my Chambord Sours and Debbie’s French Martini’s.

Parking: We found spots right by the Bridesburg Pub. It was Labor Day Weekend also.“

“Great atmosphere and dinner was delicious!“

“nice people good atmosphere just did all around great time!“

“I had dinner with my wife on Friday night. We live 2 blocks away. Normally we stop in to a have few drinks and get some apps, which are always good. Last night I tried some of the dinner choices. I couldn’t decide so I got the Seafood Gumbo which was outstanding. Then I got the Southern Fried CatFish with the mustard sauce, which was amazing. They were both big portions, (I didn’t finish either, although I tried, haha). My wife had buffalo cauliflower and dry Cajun wings which were both really good. The food is a hidden gem that we have in Palmyra, the prices are good and the service is always great. We had the young guy with hat and he was awesome. The bartenders even jump out to make sure the tables are ok. The acoustic guy playing was just right also. I know the owners have worked hard to keep 5 West going the last few years. Keep up the Great work!!“

“We had brunch at StarBolt for Easter. Their brunch is a recent addition so it want crowded. Food was great. I had the breakfast platter which was very good, the bacon and the potatoes especially! My one son ordered the French toast which was delicious!! Our server was extremely attentive and interested in getting honest feedback!“

“It was kinda dead on a Wednesday, but after 3 bars and getting hungry stopped at Cheers Cafe on Westmoreland st in Port Richmond...for a pint...early enough they served food. Had a pint and some soup and OMG!!! Soup was amazing..made from scratch and was freaking delicious. Didn't even want to drink anymore wanted to just keep eating...Ordered crab balls to go...he he he!!! Then ordered whatever they had left with the soup...I am so enjoying my day off with the soup!!!! DEFINATELY A PLACE TO STOP FOR FOOD...SO YUMMY!!!“

“great place! great crowd, great atmosphere , great staff! and they have beer flights! what more could you ask for! haven't been here in years and I'm definitely going to frequent this place a lot more“

“Had great apps and desert. Will be back!“

“My wife and l went last night. Great little bar. Great burgers and fries. The collectibles in the shadow boxes took me back to my childhood. Great vibe. Low key. Great beers. Coming back. Oh yeah, they have board games.“

“Listen... nuff said when u order Mozz Sticks and the sauce, which I never eat, is what makes the night but if you think the stick itself is regular, you err, everything about this bar is 100. You come here if you going to say you visitid Philly. Period. Candis, Jason or Keith are amazing!! Thank you for this gem!“

“Great atmosphere and food!“

“Total hidden gem. I’m a sucker for a good dive bar, and this place completely nails the vibe. It is so warm and cozy inside, and it was clearly a neighborhood favorite packed with regulars who know the drill. The bartenders are right on top of things—attentive without being overbearing—and the drinks are just classic, no-nonsense pours. It's the kind of spot you can easily lose track of time in, and I will definitely be back.“

“Great little dive bar ..great open mic on Wednesday and three live acts on Thursday with a happy hour on Friday which also has live music .. I am a musician and played there Thursday and had the pleasure of meeting the owner ..What a great dude!! Music is such a huge part of the Philly dive bar scene and it seems to be dying but thank god for places like JRs that car about tradition and costumer service ..I mean this guy really loves his patrons he knew them all by name the bartender is the sweetest girl you’d ever want to meet so nice and a great bartender ..this place is the epitome of a great dive bar with great music and atmosphere..I guess ya gotta be doin something right to be in buisness for over 40 years … thoroughly enjoy myself every time I’m in there weather I’m playing or just there supporting another musician.Gary runs the music a great musician in his own right and is always looking to give a fellow musician a shot at JRs if your a musician and looking for a gig or a good open mic that is a great place to start or if you just wanna get a drink and feel like you are where you belong then this is your stop for sure“

“Great NE Philly neighborhood bar. Cold beers and friendly atmosphere.“
