50 Best Pubs near Oaklyn

“I regret not having found this gem of a place earlier. My partner and I have never once felt unwelcome or displeased with the service and quality here, and I want to specifically call out some of the wonderful friendly bartenders we’ve encountered here who always keep our spirits up and serve with warmth and competence - Marty, Shawna, Chloe, and Gianna - I remember your names because I genuinely enjoy coming when one of you are on shift. Justin the bouncer is a polite and friendly face despite his position and we love seeing him as well. I’m very pleased to have found this affordable, high quality local mainstay (with some pretty fun programming like Trivia and Karaoke as well!).“

“We had a great night at the Meetinghouse. Great atmosphere on a Thursday night. Place was buzzing. We had some super food, a small menu but perfect. Kinda like tapas if you want to share. Tried the mystery wine, a gamble that didn't pay off for us, it was like a fruit wine. Safer with the white. Staff and service were excellent. Friendly place and enjoyed chatting to some locals. Worth a visit and glad we searched it out.“

“Was very nice people friendly“

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

“Talk about an absolute gem, this place is unreal. Old school joint, huge menu, couldn’t believe all the options, we were there to eat and try a bunch of great offerings and did we ever. Wings were fall off the bone good, perfect sauce, loved getting them in a bowl with tons of sauce. Soup was unreal, tons of spice, perfect. Pirogies have the crisp shell, loaded with filling, tons of onions, and really filling. The crab logs are like jojos with old bay and really great in the cheese sauce. Pies were amazing and beers were ice cold. Best part, 3 guys ate an absolute ton of food for $99 before tip. I mean we were uncomfortably full, but the price was right!

Service was great. Made you feel like family immediately.

Will be a staple anytime I come to the area.“

“This past weekend, after my son’s first penance, a group of us wanted to go grab lunch. After an unfortunate experience somewhere else we called Dooney’s to see if they could accommodate a party of 17 last minute, and they said of course. Half of our party was kids 7 and under. The waiter was excellent, the food was amazing, couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Dooney’s!“

“Neighborhood dive/pub. Great staff, drinks, and food options for everyone. Can’t go wrong here.

Can confirm, never been drunk or stupid enough to wander into a private basement. There’s an upstairs as well (that IS open to the patrons)

Go and support!“

“Love the seXy Bartenders food is bussin“

“We had an excellent dining experience at The Pour House! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. We started with the oysters and nachos—both were incredibly fresh and flavorful. For our main course, we tried several sandwiches and burgers, all recommended by our amazing server, Marissa. Marissa was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. She made great suggestions and made sure our group was well taken care of throughout the meal. The service and food were equally impressive, and we’ll definitely be coming back. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area and are in the mood for oysters.“

Nice beer selection. Classic blackened green beans. Juicy burger. Bratwurst on a crunchy fresh baked roll. We will definitely become regulars again!“

“I stopped here one Saturday on my way home from center city and had a very good evening. I opened the door and was greeted by a friend who performs at so many local drinking establishments in Northeast Philly. As it was a spontaneous decision to go here I was very surprised to see him. Located on Rhawn Street off of Frankford Avenue in Mayfair/Holmesburg. It has an latge open area for music and dancing with long straight bar. I didn't have the food so I can't rate it. Our barmaid/server Laurie was friendly, witty and an excellent host. I met several friendly and engaging people here and will surely stop back.“

The prices are right. The food is bar food. I’d go back and hang out in a Friday night for pool and beer. Also, pretty solid beer selection.“

“Castle Roxx is my go to stop. Every time I come I have a great experience. All of the bar tenders always are amazing and work so hard to make my experience the best in Manayunk. Eric and Vinny are two of my favorite bar tenders. They make even the slowest nights the most fun. I normally come during the week, as opposed to the weekends, and I never regret it.“
