50 Best Bars near Oaklyn

“Great little spot for good food and service and the atmosphere was pretty good too (old small town bar kindly renovated). The Shepard's pie (only for around St Patty's) was the best we had dining out over the years. Awesome burger and shrimp app too. Service was spot on, just a nice experience overall.“

“Boost is on my sit at the bar when I go here I meet my brother for a drink and lunch the bartenders always quick to respond but sometimes getting a waitresses really difficult and then the strangest thing is you have to pay the bartender for the booze and pay the waitress for the food it doesn't go in the same check so there's two different tips which is also a little strange but it is what it is it's a nice place I would definitely recommend going there if they ever put direct together and put both waitress and bartender together it'll be betterParking: They never have enough parking for this particular establishment it's always tough to park in here so if you're going going one car“

“I am very pleased with my experience here. I went with a group of 5 and ordered sample tasting, so we got to try a lot of different options they have. They have standard and an upgraded option (for just $10/person); it is well worth it to pay for the upgrade. I liked most of it. But what was exceptional is the liver goose, the duck scrapple, the wagyu and the sea bass.They do a nice show (at the bar) with some of their drinks as well. In this video I recorded them making my double knot Manhattan. They fire some cinnamon and fill your cup first with the smoke. It actually gives it a nice taste.“

“We plan trips to Philadelphia just to visit this amazing bar. We can’t oversell this…absolutely the best cocktails we have ever had. There are strict house rules for a reason and we appreciate that. Always a wonderful evening at Hop Sings. Leave your phones at home and enjoy the atmosphere and fine crafted drinks.“

“The food was wonderful and came fast but the service lacked something. Wonderful place for a date night but they are VERY strict on dress code so be sure to check your outfit down to your shoes before arriving.Dietary restrictions: Nut free facility“

“This is the pizza I’ve been waiting for! High quality ingredients in the perfect ratios make for a delectable experience. The attention to detail is fantastic! Apps and drinks were stellar and the staff was so attentive. HIGHLY recommend everything we had (see pics). Thank you for a wonderful and memorable experience!! Will be coming back again for sure“

“Pretty good experience! There was a little bit of a mix up with what we ordered but they instantly took care of it and got us the rest of our food. Some of the food was hit or miss. The broll, Bloc party, Hijiki, and e I shumai was great but I didn't really like the chashu because it was a bit gummy and the wings were not my favorite. But other than that, it was all great. I will definitely come back soon to try more things :)“

“My girlfriend and I decided to come in for happy hour and I’m so happy we did! The food and cocktails were delicious but we were really blown away by the service. Our server, KB, was incredible. She was on top of everything, knowledgeable, personable, and gave great recommendations. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Bar Hygee is a true gem of a place; it dazzles in every sense. From the thoughtful whimsicality of the decor to the curated comfort and coziness of the atmosphere to the impeccable, exceptionally warm service (shout out to Morgan- an absolute dynamo!) to the purposefully playful and out-of-this-world delicious drinks & dishes, Stu and his visionary, industrious team have created a textbook manifestation of the concept from which this place takes its name. THANK YOU for the fabulous swag ;) and for hosting us with such generosity of spirit! We'll be back again and again!“

“Top Notch cocktails, Wayne will not steer you wrong! Both times I've gone he came up with a different variant of the old fashioned, both times they become my new favorite version of the old fashioned. On my last trip there, he didn't hold back, he came up with a stellar old fashioned and served me the best margarita I'd ever had! If Wayne ever asks if you trust him, do it, he will not disappoint! He got a feel for what flavors I like and served me the most phenomenal marg in a big skull glass, the pineapple was so ripe and juicy and the drink itself had the perfect spicy/sweet ratio!! All the bartenders were friendly and served everyone well, we all had a great time! I also love that you can get to-go cups and boxes to enjoy cocktails and food in your room!“

“This is a spot for cool people, you will know when you walk in- that’s the vibe. I’m not that cool though and I felt welcomed (that’s usually how cool people make you feel). Anyways, the pickletini is dangerous, my friend had like 7 one time. I like this place!“

“We had a nice lunch today! I loved my eggplant, tomato, and avocado tower. My friend loved her tomato basil soup and bacon grilled cheese! Our server was attentive, timely, and informative. It's a great go-to place at any time. Parking was plentiful!This time, we had some apps. Service and food are still great!“

“Really cool bar to drink local spirits. The bartenders were super nice and let us try a couple different things we were interested in. Cocktails were really good. I would definitely go back. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was super chill but I can imagine that it gets really noisy as soon as it fills up. Also you can bring your own food, since they don’t have a kitchen, so that’s really cool!“

“Was scrolling through Facebook and came across this place. I read their menu, looked at their pics, and then made a reservation. I’m so glad I did because the food was amazing!!!!! I would highly recommend this place. Setting inside was absolutely beautiful!!“

“Loveeee this place! Service is always great - love Dan! - and the food is consistently good! 3rd time eating here and the ribeye is always phenomenal. Banana Forster is worth’s saving room for! And the cocktails are made with love! Love Steak 38!!“

“This brewery is located at 5th street and Spring Garden street. It has a varied menu and I tried the hummus platter which was rich and smooth. Very fresh vegetables and warm pita triangles. A love stout vanilla beer which was smooth n creamy. My friend had an American burger with fries "very juicy" she like the fries too. My other friend had pork belly on bao buns steamed he said it was okay but he isn't pleased with most things unless his Mom makes it. Service was fantastic!! We ate outside in an enclosed area with ceiling heaters. Quieter. Inside there is a rectangular bar and a huge room filled with Highwood and picnic tables with TVs all around. A great place to meet friends and hangout to watch sports. There beers are excellent.“

“I love this place BUTI love this place—the relaxed vibe, the incredible drink menu, friendly staff, and the Super Bock on tap takes me straight back to Europe.BUT I do feel swindled by the auto 20% with minimal/ no indication on the receipt.“

“So I had such a great time at this place it was super fun. The atmosphere was full of laughter, the drinks were super affordable and the bartender even gave my sis and I complimentary drinks. It was very diverse which I loved everyone was just having a good time, it was a night of complete fun. Also the Assman license plate is priceless I love Seinfeld“

“This was a place we stumbled on by accident, waiting for a concert at Union transfer. Small little place but the food was unique and really good! Service was a little lacking but it was a busy Saturday night. Seems to be a popular spot! Highly recommend if you're in the area!“

“I brought my dog here 2x so far and we absolutely love it here! The food is AMAZING! The staff are super friendly, attentive and go out of their way to get to know you and your pup to make sure everyone is having a great experience. We drive 1hr each way each time just to come here! My 5month old puppy loves coming here and getting the socialization he needs from humans and dogs alike!“

“Wow Wow Wow. I ordered the roadside tots and AMAZING. Of course we had to try the PB&J burger and it was good. I was surprised but it worked. My bacon cheddar burger was delicious. The smoky spice was just perfect. A must stop every time we're in town !“

“I absolutely loveeeeeeee this restaurant!!!! Their coconut mojitos is the best thing everrrrrrrrr! The ambiance of the restaurant makes you feel as though you have transported to Cuba! I love the decor and the music that was played while we were there. Their pressed bread with mango butter is to die for!!!!! First round is on them but then you'll have to pay extra for another round and that makes sense. On the weekend the restaurant turns into a nightclub which I think is awesome! It's 20$ entry fee but if you are there your receipt is eligible for two weeks to get in for FREE! Def 10/10 !!!“

“A must try hidden gem in the neighborhood. Unique Belgian beers and stouts. Must try the Hercule Stout if you have beef of any kind. Don't underestimate the vegan seitan sandwich. Packed with umami flavor and very satisfying. Wife had the Steak Frites salade and really enjoyed it. Dessert was the lime pie - very tart and very good.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pearl & Mary with my father and brother, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Every dish we ordered was incredibly delicious, showcasing the culinary expertise of the chefs.However, what truly made our evening exceptional was the outstanding service provided by our server, Harley. From the moment we walked in, Harley greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. Throughout the meal, she was incredibly attentive, ensuring that our glasses were never empty and that every need was met promptly.Harley's kindness and professionalism truly stood out, making our dining experience not only enjoyable but also memorable. Her dedication to providing top-notch service is commendable and undoubtedly enhances the overall dining experience at P&M.Thank you, Harley, for going above and beyond to make our visit so special. We can't wait to return and enjoy another wonderful meal under your care.p.s. we took home the pecan upside down cake… let’s just say, it’s a must have like Harley❤️Tommy“

“Had not eaten the food, so I can't comment. But having worked as a fine dining bartender in Los Angeles, I was blown away by their cocktails. Their menu made the mixology need in me geek out. My friend and I went there for a quick drink between movies on Christmas day. And we were very pleased with the experience.“

“Visited for lunch on a sunny Sunday. Solid wine and beer list and fantastic food! The only downside was that there is limited seating and we were near the windows. The sun was streaming in and there was no window shade. Not only were we warm, we ate the whole meal with the sun in our eyes! I’m hoping they fix this issue bc it’s an easy fix and the food was truly delicious“

“The team at The Madison and Thomas, in particular, were exceptional. The venue's beauty was breathtaking, and its cleanliness was without fault. The culinary experience was a highlight, with dishes that transcended traditional event food, both in presentation and quality. Thomas, a true professional, made the planning process a breeze with his patience, knowledge, and helpfulness. The service received from Immanuel and the staff on the night of was flawless, and every staff member went above and beyond to ensure our guests felt welcomed and cared for. A big thank you to everyone for making this milestone event so memorable.“

“First time here to see Stolen GinEverything was great! We made sure to make reservations ahead of time s8nce my husband and i wanted to do dinner while there.Food ☆☆☆☆☆Service ☆☆☆☆☆Drinks ☆☆☆☆☆Music ☆☆☆☆☆Atmosphere ☆☆☆☆☆Highly recommend the espresso martini if you like them!“

“A very underrated tapas place in philly. People tend to lean towards barcelona wine bar or amada (understandable), but oloroso has some great options, too, while being relatively cost friendly. Patatas bravas are a must have if you're getting tapas and you can't go wrong with theirs. Besides the obvious, their charred octopus, gambas al ajillo, and NY strip are our favs. If you're debating between the veggie tapas though, I'd avoid the charred eggplant as it's the least flavorful thing on their menu.“

“Everything, Let’s start with food, fresh, creative, taste. How can something as simple as breakfast sausage and potatoes be so amazing, has 1 had them all, not here, so delicious. Drinks awesome and then we come to the atmosphere, so retro and chill. This is a must go to wether a local or just visiting.“

“Loved the service and the food! We had GF linguine with clams - clams were nice and tender( not overcooked like other places), Eggplant parm with spaghetti-eggplant parm was amazing - n tender, and chicken parm- excellent!Can't wait to go back to try their calamari. Lots of Vegan options too .Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian and vegan options. GF linguine is available on request.“

“Everything was delicious from the moment we stopped in. The aesthetic is simple clean and cute. We had the lunch combo with mayu ramen, sushi roll, fried oysters and tasty dessert Taiyaki. Affordable and prepared so tastily. Everything was served quickly and servers were attentive. I will definitely be “

“Nice atmosphere, the waiter was really attentive, lots of options on the menu and the food came out quickly and tasted amazing. I also loved that they had a lot of different mocktails on the menu. I got Dan Dan noodles and the sunset marteani and everything was so good. Would definitely come again to try more of their “

“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 spot for a cheap burger that is good quality. A bit under-seasoned but you get salt pepper to add. Very reminiscent of home style / back yard barbecue burgers. Hard to not have some bias for how affordable it is at 6 bucks but I don’t think it’s a burger that trumps other bar burgers flavor wise. Fries are good especially soaked in malt vinegar. Don’t really get the appeal of going after sun down when it’s pitch black inside though. Makes it super awkward when people go to the bathroom and this blaring light suddenly appears in the corner of your eye or if you go and come out from a piss to see the whole bar squinting at you because you’re a visual disturbance“

“Situated near the Philadelphia stadiums, PBR Bar is a sports bar gem that hits all the right notes. The ambiance is electric, with plenty of TVs for prime game viewing. What sets this place apart is bartender Max, whose impeccable service and expertly crafted cocktails elevate the experience to new heights. From classic drinks to inventive creations, Max delivers with finesse and flair. Add in a diverse menu of delicious bites, and you’ve got the perfect spot to cheer on your favorite team. Don’t miss out on PBR Bar – it’s a winning choice every time.“

“Do yourself a favor and go get their wings. You deserve it. I will be daydreaming about the street corn wings for weeks till I return. Gia was a fantastic server, keeping our drinks and napkin supply full. Dom the manager stopped by to check on everything and was so sweet with the kids. Great experience all around!Kid-friendliness: Provided highchairs for the table and a changing table in their downstairs bathroom.“

“The venue is well decorated. Alert picture takers, photo opps! The burlesque show ( my 1st) showcased a plethora of talent. Oh and the costumes chefs kiss! Seating was on the second level which was close to the stage. The only hiccup I experienced was a couple sitting at my table after arriving from the restroom. They said they were seated there.“

“Literally if you live anywhere near fish town Come here !!! My fiancé and I got the meatballs and ricotta for an app AMAZING tasted like moms meatballs .. we ordered and spilt the tagliatelle with filet and truffles OH MY GOD ! My taste buds are SCREAMING I am 100% Italian and know flavors but this right here MANNNNN best thing I’ve eaten in a long long time ! Bartenders are so attentive and the atmosphere is awesome !!! Check this place out yalllll amazing“

“We went around the happy hour time. 4-6 pm and you have to be seated at the bar for the happy hour prices. The service was good, attentive staff. The food was good to my surprise. The crispy cauliflower and mushroom pita pizza are a must-try. The Thai chili wings and Buffalo wings were deliciously sauced, along with my margarita. The Smash burger is a must-try too. It was a cool laid-back happy hour spot. I will be back to try the rest of the menu.“

“Awesome time throwing with great Harry Potter atmosphere, didn't get to try the food but the drinks were good and the instructor Matthew was great, the Harry Potter theme and ambiance was awesome I asked at the front desk about more stuff ex (wand painting) they weren't too sure.We got to play 3 different games of axe throwing in the amount of time and was definitely worth the cose of 35$ a person plan on going back it was an awesome way to spend my birthday.If you have 10+ they have a den that you can rent that seems worth it and they can also do catering.“

“Star was a great bartender! Great conversation and the food was even better! We stumbled on this place by accident on our way to somewhere else and we were pleasantly surprised. We WILL be back soon! Can’t wait to try more items on their menu!“

“I had my 21st birthday party at the Bayou and every single person had an amazing time! The staff is so friendly and was so communicative, really making me feel special and ensuring that the experience was great. The pricing was very affordable and If you are considering doing an event here I would 1000% recommend it! Me and my friends enjoyed ourselves so much we want to do another event there soon :).“

“Absolutely thrilled with my recent visit to South Philadelphia Tap Room! The highlight of my meal was, without a doubt, their Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwich. The soup was a perfect blend of tangy and creamy, with just the right amount of seasoning to elevate the fresh tomato flavor. Paired with a golden, crispy Grilled Cheese that was oozing with melty cheese goodness, it was comfort food at its finest. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff only added to the exceptional dining experience. A must-visit spot for anyone craving a classic with a gourmet twist!“

“Vegan, Vegetarian and Gluten Free Options; Woo Hoo. I sat at the bar which had the Sixers game on the television. Ellie put in my order the Laotian Fried Sticky Rice (Has Peanuts) which was delicious. Fresh cut fries Ellie suggested two great ciders I met Chandler and paid my bill with Kat. I then ventured downstairs with Brianna. The PHILLY course is so cool. Chill music, fun vibe.“

“This is the spot where my coworkers go after work to unwind. Great selection of cocktails ? , and the only “bar food” that I’ve ever actually enjoyed. In fact I even went back with a friend just to grab lunch , we had the kale salad with chicken and it was delicious“

“If you are looking for a cozy, warm and inviting environment to relax after a hectic work day or wanting to meet up with friends, The Brass Tap is the place to be. The food is delicious and the drinks are phenomenal. Would definitely go back.“

“A great find! We had 2 very pleasant visits with good food and drink. We particularly liked the staff and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. The owner and colleagues were very hospitable. One of the pleasantest neighbourhood bars we have ever been in.“

“LOVED my wet breakfast burrito. It was really really good and the spicy sauce on top is *chef’s kiss*. Just a little heat in a well composed burrito. And big! If I wanted to stuff myself, I would have finished it, but ended up just eating half.The server was the bartender and couldn’t attend to us as she was really doing two jobs (prepping all the drinks and trying to keep our coffees full). But the food was so good that it didn’t bother us much.The outside patio is also so relaxing. Perfect on a nice day.“
