“I got a chicken cheese steak Stromboli (at my brother's recommendation) with fried onions & green peppers. It was so good! The only thing I would probably change is add some cheese where the dough is to close it up. That part is a little too doughy for me, but other than that, it's worth stopping & grabbing one. I will, whether they make the change or not. ?“
“We have been going to the Pub for over 55 years. My parents started back in the early 60s' and my first trip was when I was 12. Now I'm 69 and the food is just as great as I remembered. The choices in the salad bar usually fill me, and when my meal arrived, I usually have to request take out boxes. The service is excellent. Plus we love the Hula cake. Hope The Pub is around for my future generations.“
“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.“
“Friends dinner out on a rainy Saturday. Our Mr first time to Noir since the Pandemic. It's even better than we remembered. Same comfortable, relaxed, neighborhoods atmosphere. Same warm and welcoming service. And the food is inspired. Particularly good: broccoli rabe with sausage and beans starter, arancini, gnocchi in mushroom gravy, short rib, and (amazing) spaghetti with crab sauce. Desserts were fresh and especially tasty. Great evening!“
“McMenimin's is a terrific, very popular neighborhood bar/restaurant. It can be noisy, but if you sit in the back room, the noise is not too bad. We were there on a weeknight (Tuesday), and yet every table was filled by 7 o'clock. The food is better than one would expect for this kind of place. The fish and chips, chef's salad with portobello mushrooms and plant-based "cheeseburger" were all excellent. And portions were huge. The server was very pleasant. The reasons why this is 4 stars and not 5: No cocktail list at all and just a few not-so-great wines by the glass. And the entrees were served way before we were finished with the appetizers. They must have thought we had to catch a train. If you don't mind being rushed like crazy, then you might give McMenamin's 5 stars.“
“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.“
“what an incredible refurbishment of a classic center city building!!!!!! the bar staff was great in every possible way including both johns and the beautiful young woman who was working with them on thursday night!!!!! the beer and booze selection is above reproach and just one piece of advice... if you like or love tullamore dew, don't drink the honey version“
“Fall of the bone wings with great flavor. Only wish they could also be crisper but just my personal preference. Still delicious nonetheless. The fried Ravioli with the marina sauce is also a fave of mine. Place is small so we always order out.“
“Perfect neighborhood gem. Gastropub food is just delicious. Wide variety of food options as well as a terrific beer selection. Through the pub and then a doorway into the "house" next door is a very cozy two floor (maybe three?)experience, a house turned into an eating area, also a surprise pinball machine corner and televisions on both floors. Very unique, very comfortable. You just want to hang there all night as if it were your own house. Love it“
“I was in Philly with my boss and a colleague for an industry event. They were asking for a place to go for a bite and a beer. I asked my daughter who is local for some recommendations and she recommended Good Dog Bar. There are many great restaurants in the center city area, but this one does a great job. At 6:30 on a Monday, the place was quite busy. We were able to get a booth. I didn't see any tables for large groups downstairs. Most of the bar area and tables were full when we started ordering. The beer selection is diverse and prices are reasonable. For my main dish, I had to try to vegan Philly Cheesesteak. You might say that this is quite blasphemous being in Philly and doing vegan. I'm not sure how they did it, but it was very tasty. They also have some awesome fries with it. As far as parking, find a lot or garage or it's better to use mass trans or bike.“
“I’m really on the fence with this review. The service and ambience were great. It’s a trendy little neighborhood bar with good music and good people. Three draft beers with common names and off we were to our table. The beer is brewed offsite but it’s Meeting’s beer: love that. However, the food left much to be desired. The bread and butter were good, fries were done right but the clams and Turkey BLT…meh. The clams were so chewy…I mean like, super chewy and I could not cut into it with my teeth. I had one: full stop. Now ordering a Turkey BLT, one should not expect the moon but since there’s about 7 - 8 things on the menu I would hope that each dish is done to near-perfection. It was not. It was essentially basic. Did I eat everything save for the clams? Yes. Would I go back? For sure. The service, people and beer are worth another pass. And I’ll definitely try another dish but I won’t go hungry. Live music would definitely draw me back in!“
“Went for the first time on Sunday. Drinks were delicious. Food choices were plentiful and food was great. Outside courtyard was perfect for a warm spring day. Great place to watch the game. Service was good. We will definitely be back to try more menu items. Plenty of street parking“
“A great family run business. The pub seems to be clean and well maintained. A great selection of beer with some rare beer options. The food was surprisingly good with huge portion sizes and decently priced. Staff was friendly and attentive. A great place for food and/or drinks“
“Pat, the man!! First time there tonight and came due to closeness of location and reviews… but blackened chicken salad and wings to go were both A+Pat’s presence and convos were representation of what a local bar should be! When you walk into a bar and don’t feel awkward to hang by yourself and enjoy a moment… this is the place to be. I will be back soon, thanks for a great time!“
“Monkey Club is the best locally run bar in Philly. The owners care about fostering a community and getting the best bang for your buck.Most importantly they're four for fourPhilly sports game and Always play the audio during sports games.“
“Best little local pub just off Passyunk. We dropped our grandchildren off after having them over the weekend, and stopped here to grab a bite to eat and a cocktail before heading back to New Jersey. I had Poutine and it was amazing! My husband had a brisket sandwich with a Brussels' sprouts. We will definitely be back!“
“I definitely recommend Wolf Burger! I got Fries and the BBQ bacon ranch burger and the flavors were out of this world! Roll was great, the cheese on the burger was melted perfectly, and overall the burger had a really unique flavor! The black and blue burger was super good too! Super happy to have tried this place and definitely will be back!“
“We had a private event here which included the upstairs space along with beer and wine. The bartender and staff were wonderful and we had a great time! We had about 30 people and the space was a bit tight. I wouldn't book it if the event calls for any full group activities (like games) since it can be hard to hear (open space/ceilings). It's perfect for happy hour or casual/social events like birthdays. Also keep in mind there's a good amount of stairs and no elevator. The tables are high tops along with 2 booth areas. Everyone was happy with the drinks and I requested a mocktail which was delicious. Downstairs is spacious and it seems like a cool spot for shows. There was a cover band setting up as we were heading out.“
“good spot to eat in the backroom which hardly anyone knows about LKim is great good food . Bartenders need to learn how to work the remote for the music , It is Bose system that you can adjust for each end of the bar and the right channel is off along with the bass . lol I always listen to music when I am there .“
“So happy I happened to stumble into this place. The neighborhood bar this area was lacking! Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu haven’t had a bad item yet. Usually get the boneless wings. Kelline is one of the nicest people and bartenders you are ever going to come across.“

“Went here for the first time and have to say was very impressed with the pool room, and bar. Service was great food was excellent, had karaoke going on in the bar it was very entertaining. Also met the owner very friendly nice guy. Will absolutely be going back..“
“Ended up at Jimmy’s on a Saturday night during St Patrick’s Day weekend and couldn’t speak highly enough of the joint. Great food, excellent service, and delicious drinks. Jimmy the owner was more than welcoming and conversational enough to accommodate our party of 10. Will definitely be coming back soon. Try the roast pork sandwich!“
“The setting is great. The service is exceptional…and yes Ray I’m speaking about you! The food is incredible! We highly recommend the duck meatballs. If we were at home we would have licked the bowl lol! We go into Philly a lot from Bucks. This is absolutely out new go to on the way home. Ty Black Squirrel for a great experience!“
“As someone with celiac, it's really comforting how great our waitress was with listening to my concerns about gluten free food. The food was great, the waitress was absolutely a sweetheart and our drinks were so good! Definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants good pub food, especially if they have dietary restrictionsDietary restrictions: Gluten free food is labeled and a completely different prep area. Also clearly labeled on menu what can be made gluten free“
“On my first ever visit to Philidelphia, I chose to try this place (the nachos looked good on the online menu). When I walked in, the place had an intriguing atmosphere. It was self seating - I didn't see the menus on the table, and the server noticed, so, he grabbed me one and brought over a water, before I even requested anything! I ordered the Nachos with the spicy (not hot, just flavored with spices) chicken - it was So good and the bowl was suitable for 2 or more to enjoy. The plating was intriguing! It was Delicious! While I was eating, the server made me feel welcome, joking that I wasn't the Only one who didn't notice the menus (another party that came in missed them, too!). I returned afew days later with my husband, had to show him some of the city and have him try the nachos - we both Inhaled them! Despite a Large party being there, the server came right over with waters, got our order and had it brought out quickly. We were impressed with the service, despite the large party. I Highly reccomend this place! Try the nachos!! The giant pretzels look delicious, too!“
“I love that Quiztestivia is back! I live in Pa and came to this bar for this sole reason! Good food! Great drinks! Overall fun environment. Bartenders are attentive and fun. Will be back for Jay Brone! Just heads up to my fellow plus sized people - the booths suck. don't sit there.“
“Nothing can go wrong woth the seitan wings at 9pm after a movie at the PFS bourse. The place is always comfy thanks to its decor, has a great selection of beers ans their food never disappoints. The music can be loud sometimes but not to the point of making me go away.“
“Love the food and staff here! We are always welcomed even though we are out of towners! We've tried most items on the menu. Get the burger! It's seriously one of the best! The Philly cheesesteak egg rolls are also a must! Beer is cold! Food is solid! You really can't go wrong! We stop here every time we are in town and make a special trip if it's St Patty's Day!“
“Love this place! Food is good. Definitely try the wings with the secret spicy sauce! But the house made chips are excellent also. The "adult" juice pouches will have you feeling like a kid again ! My favorite is the green tea pitcher. If you wanna sing your heart out or just chill at the bar this place can help you with both.Wheelchair accessibility: There is none.“
“Curran’s makes some of the best wings in Philadelphia & they have for years! Excellent atmosphere & service! There is both indoor & outdoor seating! Great place to take in a game & grab drinks with friends! 10/10 would highly recommend!“
“Ten Stone is my favorite neighborhood bar for watching the Sixers games. The bartenders and the people at the bar are very friendly and knowledgeable Sixers fans. Despite the Sixers game being on the bartenders keep the drinks flowing. My glass never sat empty for long. When it comes to food, I'm a sucker for anything with truffles, so I love the truffle popcorn. The cheesesteak eggrolls are also a great rendition of that dish. Crispy outside and plenty of meat and cheese inside. The chicken sandwich on a pretzel bun is also good. The chicken needs to be a bit juicier to take it over the top. The gumbo is also a good dish that will keep you warm in the winter and remind you of New Orleans. Unfortunately, the mac & cheese is terrible. As long as you avoid that dish you will have a good time at Ten Stone. If you come during a Sixers game you never know when you might see me at the bar.“
“Pub food at it's best! We went after a Drexel U Preservation Society presentation at The Olde Swedes church. They had a St Patrick's Day menu available that we ordered from. I had the fish & chips & DH had the beef stew & a Guinness. Yum!! Just what we were looking for.“
“I actually do not usually do restaurant reviews, but was so please with Con Murphy that I felt like I had to share. I feel like there are many restaurants in Philly, and this one deserves more attention. We were day-tripping Philly and enjoy seeking out the local Irish pubs. We were charmed by the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere! It was noisy and small, in a fun and happy way. The TWO bars were well-stocked. We came with the family and everyone was pleased. We started with the Parmesan Truffle French Fries and they were exemplary especially paired with the Aeoli. The blackened Grouper sandwich was "sublime" according to my son who works at a restaurant! My daughter didn't prefer the crust thinness of the flatbread, but enjoyed the potatoe soup. The Irish fare was well done. My son ordered the shepard's pie and my husband and I both ordered the beef stew. I am picky of "Irish Food" bc so many places do not give it the attention it deserves, but everything was prepared beautifully. If you like very rich, decadent broths and hearty, meaty portions, then the stew is for you. The bread it was served with was unbelievably flavorful and had a tender center and crusty exterior. The stew tasted like it had slow-cooked for hours and did not dissapoint. I ordered the "Tullamore Gold" cocktail and it was a tad sweet, but flavorful. I wish I had paired a red wine or whisky with the stew. My husband had a canned apple cider which was tasty.“
“Went here with my dad and his buddy and the time we had was great. This bar offers loads of drinks from bottled beverages to cocktails, all for good prices. I even tried the portobella stuffed mushrooms and they were well-cooked and seasoned. There's also darts and a classic pinball machine in the far back which is always nice to see.Overall, I would absolutely recommend this bar to the locals or close friends.“
“Bartenders are friendly, down to earth, relatable, efficient, and the females are not too bad on the eyes either. I never have a bad time there. As far as I'm concerned, there is no better spot. Everybody is welcome and it's a melting pot that just works.“
“From my experience, young generations slapping tables and screaming loudly without consequence. I got cut off without explanation other than the bouncer (unprovoked by my actions I may add) saying “I don’t know it’s how the female bartenders work here.” Unprofessional and disrespectful to the customer perspective on all fields.“
“Duke the Saturday day time bartender can guide you through any life conflicts like a seasoned sailor. Duke can also cure your hangover from Friday night that you spent with mr Friday night anthony stuffy at the pub.....I met my first wife here years ago sadly we divorced and she got the kids however Rhawn pub keeps me alive!“
“The food was great(we had wings and shrimp), service was great (pretty sure the guy that waited on us was Jerry). As for atmosphere, the place appears to be a bar that serves great food. Wednesday nights are $1 eat in wings from 5-8, which means they're going to be seeing more of me on “
“Really great cozy atmosphere and service. The waitress we had was very nice and the food came out reasonably quickly when they were at a high volume.4/5 Kale Salad - really good!3/5 Grilled cheese sandwich - lacked some flavor and cook time2/5 Brussel sprouts - needed more cook time“
“Came here for a quick beer and enjoyed this spot. It has the feeling of a dive , so if you aren’t into that, this isn’t the place for you. I had their Green Rock Lager which had an interesting taste of bananas, but for the price was much more interesting than a typical light beer. Would definitely come back for a drink and to try the food.“
“Came here because we saw a friend post about it and we were not let down. We had the best bartender ever hands down. Some of the best wings I have ever had. That says a ton as I never eat bone in wings because I never like them. Drinks came fast all night. They had a game night which was really fun. If you are in the area I suggest stopping in. If you want an amazing bartender be sure to ask for Gianna. Girl is on point!!“
“my daughter came in from Miami to see the Phillies play last night was an awesome game today we will be checking out South house I hear it's the best spot in South Philadelphia so I will be coming with my daughter and my son go Phillies hopefully we'll win today and on to the World Series looking for a great bar good people good food and no Riff Raff see you soon !!!“
“Walt's has been a GREAT EXPERIENCE for over 30 years for me! I am not a regular but when I feel like I am in a party mood with an OLD SKOOL feel I go there because I know I will be satisfied! Good music, drinks, and good food has always been on top of the list! They have a great patronage there! CHECK THEM OUT☺“
“I usually go into bars like this with low expectations because they're unwelcoming to people who aren't regulars. But i was greeted with a warm smile and great service. The lady behind the bar was very kind and helpful and i really appreciate that.“
“1st time there and was pleasantly surprised. It was like walking into an episode of Cheers. Joe and Melissa made everyone feel welcomed. They greeted people by name or if they didn’t know you, they talked to you like a friend. What a great place to eat and have fun.“
“My son and I stopped in to watch at least the first half of the Eagles game because the snowstorm was coming and didn’t want to stay out too late. He had the chicken tenders and I had the garlic Parmesan buffalo wings. The service was great. the food was outstanding, and there were plenty of TVs to catch the game. Unfortunately, the Eagles were not so good. I definitely recommend this place if you like bar food and burgers. That’s the only thing I’ve had so far. Still waiting to meet Jaws“
“Stopped in for a quick bite. Quick seating, great service from the bar staff at the high tops. Loved the French onion soup. Just what I needed to take the off the cold of the night. Solid pours, good music. What you'd expect from the name, honestly. Place starting filling with a younger bar crowd about 9:30.“

“It's been a long time since I've visited, but friends were in town & this was always our gathering spot. We loved the wings, especially the bone-in garlic parm & the 45 St Pub fries, so we ordered several flavors of bone-in wings, pepperoni & cheesestake rolls. We were a little disappointed in the garlic parm wings but the fries did not disappoint. The drinks & our server were great. Maybe because it was a Wednesday night, the bar didn't feel as festive as it once did, but still a good time was had by all.Wheelchair accessibility: No step entry“
