50 Best Bars near Palmyra

“Best wings and cheesesteak in the area by far“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Killer cocktails! We will be back!“

“B&Bs is just the most fun place ever! Such a fun and friendly atmosphere, great music, and a pure Philly vibe. The citywide special is its hallmark and I enjoy it at every visit ;). Do not miss Bob and Barbara's. It defines Philadelphia, its great fun, and is a city landmark.“

“Awesome menu, great vibes and really tasty food. Must try this 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.“

“Mara, the manager, is one of the most cordial and friendly people. She embraces hospitality to a fashion that speaks volumes. I would recommend this place to anyone who values a fancy place, but not too fancy… just, proper. Its Gracefulness and Properness are immaculate.“

“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!“

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

“The pizza was phenomenal!!!.“

“Dope spot ....food great 👍🏾 nice vibes“

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

“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 service and good food“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.“

“Stopped by Yards because they had a parking lot. That was honestly our selling point. I'm glad we did.

Kelly was our server and she was absolutely amazing. She walked us through the menus, letting us know what was her favorites and what was the favorites of the regulars.

We had the wing phlight and the eggrolls. They were honestly better than I expected. The Sriracha ketchup was divine. The portions were huge. I enjoyed the bowl of chili and the cornbread.

I have no complaints and would definitely come back.“

“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!“

“Nice little spot, with nice energy. It can be a little tight inside, but given the shape of the building, it's to be expected. Though some people say the portions are small, I felt they were adequate and not dissimilar to say Bastia. I'm not a huge oyster person, but the recommendations were very good, especially paired with the zhug. Everyone we interacted with was lovely, but we were especially appreciative of Jordan, who gave us the majority of our recommendations.

We ate:
- psychedelicate
- stony shore
- bad boys
- broccolini caesar
- yellowtail pastrami
- crispy butterflied trout
- baby back ribs“

“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“

“The absolute best handrolls I have ever had and will ever have!!! I ordered the spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and spicy yellowtail handrolls. The rolls taste extremely fresh and the housemade soy sauce is incredible. The service is quick! I can't wait to come back.“

“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“

“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!“

“When there are no events, a great place to decompress. Staff are friendly and take care of you. The burgers are banging, the beers are icy breezy and the frozen bacardis are a vacation at home. Stellar staff as always.“

“Killer food. Our group had the roast pork sandwich, roast beef sandwich, spaghetti and meatballs and Triangle burger. All were delicious. Such a cool space too!“

“food and drinks were great“

“Absolutely amazing experience! The atmosphere was great, the cocktails were expertly made and full of flavor, and the food was incredible from start to finish. Every dish was fresh, delicious, and clearly made with care. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome the entire time. Easily one of the best spots for great drinks and amazing food. Can’t wait to come back!“

“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!!!!!!!“

“Visited this cigar bar over the weekend while in Philadelphia for a World Cup match, and overall it was a great experience. The atmosphere was excellent, they had a very good selection of cigars, and the cocktail program was impressive. The cocktails were well-crafted, although a little on the expensive side. We arrived a bit early, and the host was kind enough to find us seats. The service throughout the evening was outstanding, the staff was attentive, friendly, and took great care of us from start to finish. The quality of the cigars, cocktails, atmosphere, and service made for a very enjoyable evening.

My only disappointment was the automatic 20% service charge added to the bill for a party of two. While the service was excellent and the staff took great care of us, a mandatory service charge for just two guests felt unnecessary. It was the only aspect of the experience that left a negative impression and took away from an otherwise excellent evening.“

“Bartender Bobby is great!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Under rated. Selfishly kinda hope stays that way, so can continue to enjoy a chill bar where can actually have a conversation without yelling over uninspiring music like half the places in the area, but want them to do well - so tell your peeps...the ones you actually like“

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

“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!“

“Cocktails are so delicious and original I recommend the Dubai Chocolate Martini. The vibes are pretty nice and chill. People laughing and enjoying their time there. I will be back with some friends and family. Make sure when you go in you look to your left that’s where the entrance is do not go up the stairs unless you’re there for a private event lol.“

“Best place it was a genius idea to put the game on the house next door don’t bother nobody or raise any red flags or no noise it was a sub genius move. I quoted it sub-genius is mine forever It’s mine forever!!! John burns 11:29pm on june 9th 2026.“

“This is our new favorite spot to grab a cocktail. They have a wonderful selection of craft cocktails, mead, beer, and wine. Bartenders are very friendly and always happy to recommend a good selection if you aren’t sure. The atmosphere has a great vibe and I always love the music selections on their playlists. Jenkintown has a few nice BYOB restaurants so this is a great place to stop for drink beforehand or nightcap afterwards. It really rounds out the evening!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Billy was very nice and accommodating had a great time on a work trip with a girlfriend“

“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.“

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

“Dr. Thunder is the best! I had a private karaoke party for my 30th birthday with him as the DJ and I think I peaked. All my friends couldn't stop talking about how awesome his music selection and DJ skills were. We loved it so much we already booked him again for another event!!! Highly recommend Dr. Thunder, 15/10“

“Great fusion cuisine with legit vibes and breathtaking views! It's an unexpected vibe - rooftop bar located on top of a schoolbuilding, you are prone to ask yourself “ is this right place” on arrival- lol yes it most certainly IS. Must try the wings and the drinks. We had few items off the menu none of them disappointed but the wings really stood out! The atmosphere is so nice people were willing to stand and eat!!!!! Good music - perfect for a date or after work with friends. You have to grab a panorama of the skyline which looks stunning day or night. If there was any drawbacks it would be the seating is actually old school furniture - however after a few of those signature cocktails and a couple of tunes you are going to ignore the pain of tiny little school chairs 😅 This is a Summertime MUST for us!“

“Amazing drag performers highly recommend“

“My wife and I recently celebrated our 10 year anniversary with dinner at Caletta. Everything was A1 and top notch, especially the food (including bevs), hospitality, and service. Cozette (our server who's name I may have spelled wrong) and Jimmy (at the bar) were great. We will definitely be back!“

“Stopped here this past weekend and got some of the most delicious sandwiches! Started with the Tuna Tartare which was phenomenal and each had a sandwich for dinner. The vodka parm sandwich and the french dip were delicious and the sesame rolls tasted so fresh. Would recommend to anyone in the area!“
