“The Hideaway is making a comeback. New bartenders, good music, diverse crowd, good bar food options, and pool tables are free on certain nights.“

“Excellent local spot. Dennis is a great host and I've had a great time every time I've been.“

“Good people and fun place to enjoy a couple beers, bartenders treat everyone like family.“

“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'd say I've been coming here for just over 20 years now. I enjoy the people and the atmosphere here. It is a beer and shot bar, the bartenders are friendly and attentive, the food especially the homemade soups are great. You can always meet up with friends or make new ones and have a good time, nice shuffle board, shuffle bowl, and slot chance games here great selection of music on the jukebox. Drinks are affordable and the place has been here over 50 years.“

“It was a friendly and fun environment. I went on a karaoke night and it was a nice vibe. I’m not a fan of karaoke, but I was able to get a few laughs! I didn’t order food, but the person I was with did. They gave me a shrimp from their quesadilla and it was delicious. I had one and a half drinks and they were both very watery. I stopped at the half because thr water and cranberry was making me run back and forth to the bathroom - which was clean, but non gender. I personally prefer places with gender-conforming, not just because it’s the way, but it opens up more opportunities for people with a weak bladder ? this place has two bathrooms one female and one male. It’s a quaint place, so I think that’s a change I’d like to happen. Unless, of course there is a safety issue. There are a few pool tables and a nice high chair bar that can seat about 40 people. I’m not from that area. It is a local spot to frequent. It’s a $ for overall cost. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.“

“Best Bloody Mary in the area- hands down. Fun Man's bloody takes it to a whole other level. I literally drag myself out of bed every other Sunday for the purpose of indulging in his artwork of a bloody. You can taste the care, creation and passion for this drink with every sip. Have yet to have one better than his and as an added bonus, there is usually bacon AND shrimp for garnish.“

“A neighbourhood go-to. Great food and drink in a comfortable setting.“

“Buckets is a great place to enjoy company and unwind. A sorta corner bar feeling with a neighborly attitude. Friendly and awesome bartenders (Jason, Melissa etc.) and patrons. No one ever made to feel like a stranger... everyone is welcomed“

“clean and good atmosphere“

“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“

“I visited El Patio Cafe Restaurant for the first time. I ordered the chocolate milkshakes with whipped cream and cherries for me and my daughter. It was so light and airy, affordably priced for the container size. The environment is warm and inviting with a small seating area to accommodate ten people, in case you are waiting on your order to be completed. Speaking of orders, the menu displays a variety of multicultural foods and they are affordable for the budget-conscious eater. Overall, I highly recommend El Patio Cafe Restaurant as my go-to neighborhood eatery for good eats and sweet treats. If you are reading this review and you are not local to the South Philadelphia area, I suggest you check them out with a friend.“

“Wife and I Need to get out the house for an hour so we looked up a few bars and decided Atlantis it is ( she loves aquaman ) We Had A Long Island And A Old Fashioned. Great Place to Be When Along Frankford Ave. Bartender One Reminds Me Of A Slim Rob Zombie and Great Convo From Here. Bartender Two Was Great With Kinder Minis and Lay's Chips For A Snack from His Personal Stash lol. Phillies Gane Was On Vs Brewers and Got To Educate WIFE On Baseball Along With A Long Time Fan Amy Expalining To Her Also. Oh Yea It's A Big Fluffy Dog That Loved To Be Petted While We Were There. I Highly Suggest Atlantis! Get Up And Get Out The House Come Here“

“Depending on how packed and who's tending bar, the wait time for a drink varies- gotta be patient. The frozen "Henny" (lmmfao) colda--.. that's not Henny.. that's whiskey, trust me, I have my certification. Long story. But TuuuuMmmmm... Other than that- it's definitely a great place to go and have a blast. The Brazilian fiery haired bartender is a must see. She's cool ? Great place to chill out and play pool, if it's not crowded. Highly recommend“

“The Hideaway is making a comeback. New bartenders, good music, diverse crowd, good bar food options, and pool tables are free on certain nights.“

“When I lived in Philly I was a regular here. It’s a place where conversation is real easy because the sofas outside are in a circle so you can’t help but talk to others. And the pool table in the center of the main room leads folk to gather around it. The PBRs are tall and cheap so it’s accessible to everyone. Strong recommend.“

“Stopped in for some eats and beers ,sat at bar took several minutes to be acknowledged even though wasn't that busy finally was given service got some beers and went outside .orders sampler platter apps wings ,mozz sticks ,and skins average wings where good then we both had cheese steaks both really good and good roll .whish kitchen was open past 9 especially in summer doesn't even get dark till then but overall nice little bar live you can smoke on patio and eat and drink .“
