“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.“

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

“Killer cocktails! We will be back!“

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.“

“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!“

“I had patience waiting for my food. I wasn’t expecting it to be so delicious, let me tell you, the plate was clean after a few minutes. I fuljoyed everything about that place. The kitchen closes off at 1am and they close at 2am. I’m definitely going back. There are more options on the menu I need to try.“

“My friends and I had an amazing experience at Fabrika! We went for my birthday after hearing great things. The show and performers were spectacular. Very interactive and entertaining. The food and drinks were also delicious, and our server was so accommodating. And at the end, they open the dance floor, which is so fun! 10/10.“

“This is the best cocktail bar in the city!!!! Everything is delicious. Please bring back the Pink Street because that is my favorite drink of all time but until then I will continue to order espresso martinis because they are the best in the city!!!!!“

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

“The food and surface here were exceptional! We had the Smashburger, wings, Greek goddess salad, and chicken Caesar wrap with fries olive, which were spectacular! The weight staff is very friendly and attentive, what a great find on our visit to Philly.“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“a little on the pricier side for hand rolls but super delicious and good quality, makes a good meal for a celebratory dinner or special occasion. must must must eat the miso butter cod, literally ordered like 3 just for me because it's that delicious!! pricey, but good service and great food, must try at least once“

“The authentic german food and beer in the heart of Philly! Great service, food and of course beer. See you definitely soon!“

“We had a few different things off the menu and shared. Everything was amazing. All of the ingredients were fresh, the servers had great recommendations, and the service was prompt. We will definitely be back in the warmer months to enjoy the outdoor seating.“

“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.“

“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!“

“great service and good food“

“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“

“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.“

“Easily the top taco spot in South Jersey! Javier was an amazing server who went above and beyond to make sure our meal was perfect. The choripoyo and classic steak tacos were deeply flavorful, authentic, and generous enough to leave us with delicious leftovers. To top it off, the Pomegranate and Mango mezcalitas were incredible. Highly recommended!“

“I really liked it here! Unpretentious and welcoming. Some of the best food I’ve ever had at a bar. The fish and chips were an especially nice surprise. In addition to the food menu, they offer different specials on the blackboard. Have a good selection on draft, plus canned beers and a unique cocktail list. Definitely worth a visit if you’re seeing a show at Union Transfer or PhilaMoca.“

“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“

“Just left this place. My bartender may very well have been the best bartender ever. Attentive. Considerate. She was the kind of person you wanted to be your best friend within a few minutes. I’d gladly come back simply to enjoy her company again or the atmosphere of the bar again. P.S another bonus star… the hostess had fantastic, chic taste in clothing. If that pushes you towards dining here.“

“Clark is the best bartender I’ve ever seen. The guy knows how to make the best cocktail you’ve ever had and do it at 5x speed. He’s basically a one man show. I really saw him make 12 cocktails at once and do it with style. Go here and make sure he’s working when you come.“

“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!“

“Had a fantastic experience at the newest PJs location recently. Plenty of TVs, the drinks were well made and the wings were plump. I'll definitely be back!“

“The service was excellent Gina was amazing. Very attentive, super pleasant and had an amazing spirit!! The food was good and they have pretty good portions. The shareables were a lot for 2 people, so be ready to take food home. Overall great experience The Manager coming out to check on everyone was nice too.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pudge’s Pub Review I had an amazing experience at Pudge’s Pub — so good that I went for both lunch and dinner! The food was absolutely incredible. The hoagie at lunch was hands-down the best I’ve ever had. For dinner, I tried the shrimp fra Diavolo, and I’m extremely particular about that dish… but this was a 10 out of 10. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and truly impressive. Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be back!“

“I came here for a live music show and was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. It has a very speakeasy vibe and a great place to spend an evening. The venue, Margolis, wasn't serving food that night but the drink I had was delicious.

“Popped in for a quick beer (lived in Ardmore years ago and always loved a Tired Hands brew. Bartenders were great- so friendly! Got the Alien Church IPA- excellent! Phillies game was on too and they were up, so all good;-) Great local bar, would definitely recommend and return.“

“This is the spot if ya want to hang out with the locals.

$10 cheesesteak specials that will get the job done. Plenty of bargains to be had and staff that can’t be beat.

No frills, good times.“

“Something going on with air conditioning. Hotter inside than outside. We go almost every week and I’m always freezing. Haven’t been there in about a month though. Poor servers are all sweating- can’t imagine the kitchen staff! Won’t be going back until it’s cooler outside.“

“Graffiti Bar is such a cool little hidden spot! It has that speakeasy-style, tucked-away alley vibe that makes it fun to find and explore. The place is small but well maintained, with a nice, laid-back atmosphere.

The drinks were good, and it’s a great spot to grab a drink, chill, and hang out with friends. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for something a little different and low-key in Philly. 🍹✨“

“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.“

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

“Food was absolutely amazing! Drinks were great too! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Great service! Great Food! Wonderful service! My daughter and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously! Such a friendly and kind staff! If you need a bite to eat in a relaxing atmosphere, check it out!“

“Not from Philadelphia but was there on vacation. Came across this bar to escape from a lightning storm. Had a great time, made new friends, and laughed so much with the staff and customers. We stayed longer than expected, but enjoyed every minute. What a great surprise and wonderful memories!“

“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!“

“Amazing drag performers highly recommend“

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

“Stopped here for a bite to eat on our last night in Philly and boy are we glad we did! The food was great and the service by Saige and Darrah was incredible! They worked flawlessly together to provide the best service for all there and were truly a pleasure! If you're in Philly, add this to your list of great places to go!“
