50 Best Bars near Palmyra

“They had a barbecue yesterday and the food was absolutely amazing. Tim and Ashley( the man and woman making and serving the food) are super friendly and fast with your order. I felt like no sooner did I order my meal , they were there handing me a plate full of hot delicious food. I would definitely recommend going there to eat on the days that Tim and Ashley are there.“

“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!!“

“Killer cocktails! We will be back!“

“A truly special and magical place that still exists. I hope it lasts forever. One of the beacons that keeps Philly unique. Looks like more tavern from the outside. Has these awesome musical notes bike locks. Live music. Incredible beer and shot specials. Crazy cool interior. Awesome bartenders and patrons. Protect this place at all costs.“

“I love visiting Philly as frequently as time allows me. If your looking for an amazing little pub with brews from around the world then this place is for you! The mussels are amazing too, with fresh bread. yum!. Great services, good food, great brew! I Highly recommend!“

“My husband took me out to Philly for an early Mother’s Day gift. He said we were going to a “speakeasy” type bar in Chinatown but I didn’t believe him. When we got to an iron screen door, he was like this is it and I was like you got to be kidding me. The owner came out, asked my husband if he knew it was a cash bar took our ids then went inside. The owner brought back our ids then took us inside to a foyer where he told us the rules of the bar. Cash only, absolutely, no photography and no phones. If you need to take a phone call, you go back to foyer area or outside to not disturb people. We agreed to rules and went inside. The bar was dimly lit with candles on each table. The decor was amazing with pictures and antiques on the wall. We were sat at a table and given a cocktail menu. The cocktails were unique and separated by whiskey, gin, vodka and rum. If you need a light since it is so dim in the bar, they will bring you a light because they brought one to my husband. There were no beers on the menu so if that is what you’re looking for then this isn’t the place for you. We ordered our cocktails and they were amazing. Since there is no phone usage, you have more of an intimate experience with the person you are with because you aren’t distracted by your phone. We sat and talked while drinking our drinks. The owner came over and asked us about our drinks and how we were doing. We then ordered another round of drinks and continued talking. We enjoyed our time at Hop Sing Laundromat. Service was great, bartenders were great, owner was great, and the ambiance was amazing. This is a great date night spot for anyone who wants to enjoy a intimate setting with a cocktail or two. I would post pictures but again, No Photography so you would have to go in order to see it to believe it. You will enjoy this experience and not be disappointed.“

“Didn’t come for the food, just wanted some drinks. Very nice venue and the food looks great. Bartenders were very friendly! Cool little event room off to the side for parties. Coolers up front for beer takeaway. Lots of cool merch. Great experience!

I just got their names… Jacob and Valerie were great!!! Made sure I tried all their best beers and that I left happy!“

“Tim is the friendliest bartender ever!!!!“

“The pizza was phenomenal!!!.“

“Cute spot for a drink. Interesting mix of drink options and prices were quite reasonable for the area. The seating is a bit limited but we were lucky enough to grab a seat right by the bar. Bartenders were super friendly and quick. Didn't get any food but the sandwiches around us looked interesting and would consider coming back to try these.“

“great service and good food“

“One of the best Japanese hand rolls I’ve had in so long! I can’t believe this place exists in Chinatown. Everything was so tasty, especially the miso cod hand roll. We also liked the sweet potato roll as well. Somehow we liked the wagyu one the least. But overall, very remarkable place!“

“A neighborhood institution for good reason. The food is good and the feel of the the New Wave is enhanced by a nearly endless collection of autographed photos, magazine covers and LP jackets of both local and global sport and entertainment personalities.“

“I am giving Tattoed Mom’s all of the stars possible. The vibe is immaculate, food is spectacular, staff are top notch and it’s a super inviting place to hang out. Sunday craft night was amazing as well. Anyone on South St. needs to check out this gem. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Friendly staff! Hostess was great as was our server. I only know she had a unique name. Not a large menu but what they do offer is amazing. Great atmosphere too!“

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.“

“Lots of Vegan options that are very tasty!“

“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.“

“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“

“Great bartender, incredible music selection and possibly the best burger in the city. Especially for the dollar it is the best burger. The beer list was absolutely incredible and diverse. Happy hour like everywhere in this town means two dollar off pints. Even on days like St. Patrick’s Day, they still are efficient and friendly at Fountain Porter.

Parking: It’s South Philly. You know what you’re getting into. It’s busy.

Kid-friendliness: Due to the neighborhood, there are kids around during happy hour, and strollers can be common“

“Als Touristen sind wir ohne große Erwartungen ins Dirty Frank's. Wir wurden im Prinzip am ersten Tag schon als Stammgäste angesehen. Ab dem zweiten Tag, fühlten wir uns auch so. Absolut super Service, sehr nette Menschen im der Bar. Coole Jukebox, günstige Getränke. Sollte es uns jemals wieder nach Philly verschlagen, wird Dirty Frank's Bar das Erste sein, was wir besuchen werden.“

“Great service, food and drinks. Dylan was our bartender and server. On point with everything, friendly and accommodating. We will be back!“

“It's my first time eating from this restaurant (I got take out) but I cannot find a single fault from the experience. Keep up the good work!“

“Best bar in Philly. Kyle and the entire staff have been nothing but good to us over the years. Drink specials are great. New taco menu is fantastic. Live music and DJ nights rule!“

“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!!!!!!!“

“Bartender Bobby is great!!“

“I am a regular at Spin Philadelphia. I usually go and have a very good time. I enjoy the food, drinks, and the atmosphere. I recently had a situation where someone asked security to deal with me. I was upset and started acting up because I was being wrongfully accused. Even though my night was going bad, I felt better because of the way I was treated by some staff. The security guy with the bandana and the front desk ping pong player were very nice to me. They heard me out, showed me respect, and were very understanding of the situation. They assured me that I was welcomed back anytime. I really appreciated that. Thank you.“

“Probably the best and only $4 sandwich I’ve ever had. The menu feels like you’re taking a step back in time with the prices. It’s a dive, don’t expect gourmet. Service is great, food is great, and we will be coming back for a drink next time we are in the area.“

“Had breakfast over at West Ave grille and went across the street to check out some of the other stores. Stumbled across this spot ! 10/10 drinks were amazing . Mel the owner was awesome ,kind ,and accommodating. Keenan was amazing as well. I will be back soon .“

“Great place, selection of spirits and the food is outstanding! Check out the bartender Eddie, that's my guy“

“Frankie and all the staff were fantastic. Met a few great local people too. Great to have a drink watch a game and a chat.“

“Great fun! Awesome music, cool crowd. Great place to dance and celebrate life!! Yummy drinks!“

“Kind and Handsome server and delicious wine selection!“

“I went to Bok Bar for a packed Making Time event on 4 July, and even at full capacity, it was 100% worth it. The rooftop views are iconic, the energy was high, and the space somehow never felt overwhelming.

A big highlight was the food partner during our visit — Gabriella’s Vietnam (July 2–27). Chef Thanh Nguyen, recently named a “Rising Star Chef” by Craig Laban, brought seriously authentic Vietnamese street food vibes to the rooftop. We had the BBQ chicken with chips and the shrimp salad — both fresh, flavorful, and perfect for a hot summer day. The mocktails and canned spirits hit the spot too.

Between the skyline, the music, and the food, it was a total Philly summer moment — and one I’d gladly repeat.“

“Nice atmosphere, good bartender.“

“The Food here is phenomenal!! The best Blackened Chicken Cesar Salad on the planet!!! Trust me!!! This ain’t bar food!“

“I didn't eat anything, I got a drink at the bar and shot pool. They have a great outdoor patio where they were projecting the Phillies game on the side of the building next door. The bartender reminded my drink! I had a great time! Great people are regulars there and it's easy to strike up a conversation.“

“stopped in to drop off beer and had a cocktail. i asked if they could make a singapore sling & evan delivered a 10/10 sling. thank you once again for going off menu.

beautiful space. very nice staff. had some snacks i can't remember the names of but they were delicious !

can't wait to come back for a full meal.“

“Miss this spot. Hope everyone is well!“

“We stayed in a hotel the night before a surgery at a Philadelphia hospital. We stayed at a hotel close to Sassafras and decided to wander around and look for a place to eat. We stumbled upon Sassafrasbar and we could not have been happier. They had live entertainment. The downstairs is small and narrow, and has a city feel for sure which is awesome. The burgers were delicious. The servers were great! I would highly recommend the burgers for a quick meal. They were reasonably priced too!“

“Me and my wife stopped by for the famous wings with house made sauce, It was super packed, only reason for giving a four star for service was because you had to go to the bar to get a menu and ask for service.

But with understanding they were very packed. The wings were very good and I would make a trip back for sure.“

“New Mike and John great friendly and interesting bar tenders. Burgers and fries bigger and better then pre pandemic. 2 thumbs up. Always interesting crowd and not pretentious. Good food and good service.“

“Great local hang, attentive, knowledgeable and professional staff, one of the better whiskey selections in the city, tasty bar pies and perhaps the best wings in town. Cozy lounge area, perfect for game days and nights. Order the classic breakfast with house made sausage, outstanding!“

“What a massive improvement on the use of space over W/N W/N Coffee Bar. Poison Heart is a low-key place, not trying to be the next big thing in the city. The bartenders and staff are all great and friendly.

They have a fairly limited and somewhat unique food menu, but if you're feeling peckish you should be able to find something.

The atmosphere is dark in a kind of romantic way. But it's also lively in a way where romance is not the dominant vibe and can be completely forgone if you so choose.

It's the type of cocktail bar where you come to relax, enjoy a couple drinks, and have some good conversations either with your friends or the people around you.“

“Delicious beers; IPA heavy. The vibes were great - reminded my husband and I of some of our fav bars back home in Chicago. Alien movie was playing, good indie tunes like sleigh bells on, and the bartender helped us with local recs for our vacation!“

“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.“

“Such a cool place to check out you're very friendly bartender and everybody that was sitting at the bar was really friendly as well so that made it that much better of an experience. Definitely a must check out. Just went again. Loveeee this place best bartender“
