“I recently worked as a photographer at this bar/restaurant space that was being used for a wedding. There is a small space in the back thats great for pictures and small parties. They also have a bar upstairs and ample parking across the street. The appetizers were delicious and creative. Its a nice venue to hold a small event or to have drinks/dinner.“
“The venue was almost perfect! It is well appointed, the bathrooms super clean. The set up was great. The bartender was awesome! She was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Friendly and efficient. Good parking, well lighted exterior. I would recommend this place any day of the week.Thanks.“

“A true marriage between a coffee shop and cocktail bar. They serve traditional café fare here, as well as signature flavored lattes, craft coffee drinks, and many cocktails with a coffee or tea twist. Every week, there's also a new special on the menu. They also allow guests to bring food, so you can cozy up with a drink and some bites and hang out late into the night (which we have done many times!)Vegetarian options: Almost all drinks are vegetarian, and vegan milk alternatives are available upon request.“

“Swung in for a quick afternoon drink with my wife, server was very friendly & answered questions. However I noticed other staff didn't really speak much, and spoke to other patrons as they left, not sure what that was about. However the establishment was very clean, and our drinks was very good.“
“We plan trips to Philadelphia just to visit this amazing bar. We can’t oversell this…absolutely the best cocktails we have ever had. There are strict house rules for a reason and we appreciate that. Always a wonderful evening at Hop Sings. Leave your phones at home and enjoy the atmosphere and fine crafted drinks.“

“I've been here a few times, it's a fun place to bring people because of the whole speakeasy vibe. They don't take reservations so it's hit or miss if you can actually get in. Drinks are hit or miss for me too. Over time I've done drinks from the menu and the bartenders choice. I know it sounds silly but I really dislike the ice they use! It's like ice chips which cheapens the drinks, which seems to go against the suave swanky vibe. I got the pickle mule this time though and really liked it.“

“Who knew there was a place like this in Ridley park?!? The food was exquisite and rivaled any of the top Philly and nyc restaurants. We had the charred broccoli, beet starter, scallops, salmon, chocolate mousse and pistachio cake. Each dish was perfect! The portions are just right so you don’t leave over stuffed (and you really do need room for dessert!). Great bar cocktails and mocktails. Pricing was just right considering the high level of the cuisine. Delicious and beautiful presentation. Our server Joey was just the right mix of attentive and friendly without being annoying. Love this place!!! Great for date night, special occasions, or just dinner with friends. I’ll be back!“

“In town to visit family, a member of our party prefers vegan food. Server LEX was amazing, immaculate ambience, music - and for this to be a vegan establishment; the food tastes GREAT! 10/10 recommend, all around a stellar place to stop by for lunch & dinner.“

“I’m upset. I wish I had the appetite of four people. This brunch will be the crown jewel of the Italian market. The corn pancakes were phenomenal and there are 10 other things I can’t wait to try. Such a perfect atmosphere for brunch. I am already planning my visit for next week.“

“This is a spot for cool people, you will know when you walk in- that’s the vibe. I’m not that cool though and I felt welcomed (that’s usually how cool people make you feel). Anyways, the pickletini is dangerous, my friend had like 7 one time. I like this place!“

“We found this gem about a month ago and came back for another dinner last night. Everything was wonderful. Cozy dining room, although the volume can get a little loud depending on the crowd. The staff were charming and attentive. Nice cocktail and wine selection. The food was absolutely delicious! We will most definitely return.“

“Bomb Mexican food in Philly! It is definitely very authentic and they had a lot of menu options that I don't usually see at other Mexican places. The margaritas were so good with many different flavors to choose from. Definitely recommend getting the nachos. The guacamole was super green and vibrant, but unfortunately I felt like it was just a bit too bland and could have used some more salt and lime. I enjoyed my quesadilla, I had never had squash blossom in a quesadilla before and it actually worked really well. If you don't like onions though like me, they do put onions in their quesadillas so make sure to ask for no onions! I wouldn't come here on a date night, ambience is very casual, but I would definitely come here with a group of friends to catch up and get some margs!“

“Hands down the best meal I’ve had so far in Philly! We shared the Chef Special and every dish we tried was amazing. Definitely recommend the foccacia (pictured), tuna crudo, ravioli with sweet potato, and cacio e pepe. Our waitress, Kaitlyn, was helpful in explaining the menu and provided great recommendations and service. Can’t wait to go back!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free pasta is available.“

“Really great, inventive haute cuisine real Mexican; well executed thoughtfully prepared. Might have slipped a bit since my initial visit, but that could just be me being super impressed first go-around. Quite noisy on the weekends, be prepared to wait for your cocktails.“

“Awesome spot with great service, fun atmosphere, and a unique menu. My niece raved about the burger. My mom and I shared the pastrami fried rice which was a delicious surprise. I wasn't expecting how well the flavor combinations come together with the scallions, pastrami, and mustard sauce. The portions are huge! Definitely a go-to spot.“

“The food was amazing! Although they had a children’s menu, we decided to order a plate for the kids to share. We ordered the mussels (appetizer), slow cooked pork chop, braised beef short ribs and the roasted salmon (mains). Everything was delicious. The pork chop and beef ribs were extremely tender and juicy. The risotto that came with the beef ribs was full of flavor. We cleaned the plates and my kids (who are picky eaters) ate everything, including the vegetables.Not only was the food great, but the service was exceptional. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Our server (regret not asking for his name) stopped by several times throughout our meal to make sure everything was good and to check if we needed anything else.After paying our bill, we were on our way to get our car and found out it was towed because we parked in a no parking zone. (Beware of the signs and read carefully.) Not knowing what to do, we went back to the restaurant for help. That’s how friendly and approachable the staff was. They all helped by looking up phone numbers for the Philadelphia parking authority (I’m not from Philly), helping me call a cab and staying with us (even though they were closing) until our cab arrived.My kids and I are now back at our hotel and extremely grateful for their help. I never really write reviews, but I had to write this one. My first trip to Philly was definitely an unforgettable experience. If I ever take another trip back here, I will definitely come back to Redcrest Kitchen.“

“I have only good things to say about this place. I thought at first it was a little odd to have steak tartar served with fries but the pairing was actually really good! Everything was amazing. I have never had such a complex gnocci dish and it's probably the best I've ever had. The scallops were perfect. Mussels, snails... all of it. Everything was just amazing; I cannot stress that enough. I can't wait to go back!“

“Great place to enjoy a lovely meal. It can get busy on weekends so, reservations are recommended. The outside tables are nice but can be too close to each other. Drinks are nice, reasonably priced and the food is delicious for the most part. We enjoyed everything but thought the sauteed calamari were a bit overrated. Will go back for brunch.“

“Came here for brunch this last weekend. What a lovely experience! Mind you I don't really approve of brunch - half the stuff you can make at home for 3/4s the price. But this place was great! Staff were so nice, patient and helpful. Small but good drink menu with delicious non alcoholic options as well. We had the biscuits and apricot jam and goat cheese fritters as appetizers. Fritters weren't overly salty which I was worried about. Nicely fried with a refreshing apple jam. Biscuits were excellent - nice and flaky. I had the biscuits with mushrooms eggs and potatoes. Eggs were cooked well but still had a bit of runniness to them. The mushrooms were delicious and it all came with this cilantro dressing. Potatoes were also excellent with some peppers thrown in for good measure. It was so hard deciding what to get because honestly everything, especially the savory dishes, looked fantastic. Prices were reasonable, great experience and even though it was brunch and close to their breaking time before dinner, we didn't feel rushed out at all. Highly recommend them!“

“Awesome mexican restaurant in Fairmount! The restaurant looks small from the front but stretches back into really fun dining room. There is a patio option that would be great on a sunny day. The staff was very friendly and personable. I was seated as soon as I walked in but I did make a reservation beforehand. Our waitress made the recommendation for the Baja tacos and they did not disappoint (9/10) The carnitas tacos were excellent (9/10). We also started with the guacamole sampler, which comes with house chips and salsa. The plain guac was just average, but both the street corn and the spicy tuna guacamole were amazing. My friend and I split a margarita pitcher and they were great! A little sweet but perfectly strong. Easily 4 drinks in a pitcher. Overall this place is great for a first date, catching up with friends, or just some amazing food. Cantina Feliz will definitely be added into my regular rotation.“

“I have been going here since they opened. I really do love the food, drinks, and the fun interior. The service however always leaves something to be desired. The people are friendly but absent. I often have to wait to even be asked if I want a drink let alone food to start. I am not sure if it is a problem with not enough staff or inexperienced staff. Overall, the staff needs to be more attentive to customers. The music choices are completely fine but please, please turn it down. I was torn between 3 or 4 stars. I went with 4 bc there really is so much potential here. Bottom line, increase attentiveness and decrease the music volume and we got a phenomenal restaurant!“

“I tried the cheesesteak bao buns from Bing Bing this past weekend at the Flavors on the Avenue food festival in East Passyunk. These bao buns were the best thing that my friends and I tried at the festival by far! We unanimously agreed on that :) The filling was very well seasoned and the bao bun itself had the perfecttt texture of soft on the inside w/ a little crunch on the outside. I definitely plan to go to Bing Bing for a full meal to try more items off their menu, and I'll leave a review when I do!“

“Great cocktails, great food, but what sets this place apart from other local establishments is the the way the owners and employees made you feel like you were home. Olivia welcomed me to their establishment and Vicki as busy as she was slinging drinks, took the time to make sure to treat me like family. Do yourself a favor, stop in for a cocktail, say hi, an enjoy a little bite of Vietnamese goodness! This place "Rocks"!“

“I would give 6 stars if I could!!! Such a great addition to Havertown! The food is delicious, love the vibe and the service is amazing!!! The pineapple express wings were AMAZING! I saw some instagram stories saying to get them and our server Marissa (who was the sweetest by the way) sealed the deal by saying awesome they were- she was right!!! I am not a huge wing person and could have eaten 20 of them! The guac is so good and fresh; served with warm chips. My husband and I both got fajitas- shrimp and steak, soooo good! Also the cucumber marg was great, strong (not mad about that) and delicious! Adding this in because my husband is a huge sports guy- the Phillies ended and within minutes they put on March Madness games- no awkward gap where you're watching infomercials for hours (it is his pet peeve haha). So happy that Al Pastor is in town! Can't wait to return!“

“"Small plates" that actually aren't so small, small menu but which is expansive in flavors, and perfectly curated drink menu. Staff were welcoming and charming. When you dine here before dark, the sunlight beautifully illuminates this window-filled intimate space--such a lovely feeling. We particularly enjoyed the eggplant stewed in spicy tomatoes served with g thick cut toasted sourdough bread, the slow-cooked cod with fancy beans, and the grilled squash with brown butter--that sauce was a spiritual experience!“

“My friend and I made reservations for drinks on Saturday night (recommend making a reservation via Resy). We were seated upstairs, and it was busy, but not overly busy where you couldn't hear each other speak. We sat at the bar and had the loveliest bartender. The ambiance was amazing, and so were the drinks. I'll definitely be back when I'm in Philly next!“
“This is a great place to unwind. It is very nice inside. The esthetic feels very modern yet vintage and classy. It has something for all types of individuals. Dancing with a DJ late into the night if you prefer. Also live music playing before hand whatever you request and a hint of comedy to make you laugh. I highly recommend checking this place out and you can't beat the hours if you don't work a normal 9-5 this place also offers this type of entertainment on weekdays, which I have found to be a rare find in Philly! I went on a Wednesday night. It was very lively, I stayed until 10pm. I can imagine it is an even more happening place on the weekends and can't wait to check it out on a Saturday or Sunday. I almost forgot to mention the food was delicious and just the right portions. Thank you Vinyl.“

“Stopped in for their Thursday 5-8pm happy hour, stayed for the go-go dancer and the all-vinyl DJ! This place truly is special, frozen in time. The historic venue/bar has so much charm and life in it still. DJ Hardbargain and dancer Butterfly Jones made the space so cozy and vibey! 10/10 recommend for a drink out with friends and a sweet spot to dance.“

“Get the rib eye! They give you a steak knife. You don’t need a steak knife. I used my butter knife. It was so tender I bet I could have used the side of my fork. Staff is so polite, drinks are so tasty. Appetizers melt in your mouth. And the tiramisu. It’s my favorite and I try every restaurant and pastry shop tiramisu I can find. My compliments to the chef and staff. Absolute heaven!“

“Came here for a girls-night-out/catch up with a good friend, since we wanted to "treat ourselves" to fancy, upscale, creative cocktails (rather than our usual dive bar City wide) - and this place did NOT disappoint. I got the gold dust woman (sage gin - pretty yummy, but not too strong. Simple and elegant.) and the Bela Lugosi's Dead (AMAZING! Gin, frothed egg white, and FALL SPICE!!). My friend got the Negroni, which was impeccably strong, if you're into that sort of thing (wasn't really for us). The bartenders were friendly & fun, and after 930pm the bar cleared out enough that we finally got a seat. Be warned- it's expensive at 12$/cocktail, but the ingredients and care put into their creations make it worth it.“

“Step into Booker’s Restaurant & Bar and be swept away by a symphony of flavors that dance across your palate! This West Philadelphia treasure is a culinary haven where comfort food is elevated to an art form. Imagine sinking your teeth into creamy grits paired with succulent shrimp, or savoring the sweet and savory bliss of cheesecake french toast. The fried chicken and waffles are a crispy, golden delight, and the burger with cherry peppers and caramelized onions is a masterpiece of taste. As evening falls, the menu blossoms with heartwarming dishes like jerk oxtail, seafood mac and cheese, and a creole vegan jambalaya that’s a vibrant tapestry of flavors. And let’s not forget the Happy Hour—a festive time where laughter mingles with the clink of glasses, offering $6 cocktails and irresistible fried chicken sliders. Booker’s isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience that leaves you yearning for your next visit!“

“Irwin’s is an Italian restaurant located inside Bok Building, which was an old school revitalized as an artsy complex space. From the school desks to the chairs, the vintage furnishings of Irwin’s give a nostalgic vibe.*Shallot and Thyme Focaccia **They change the housemade foccacia flavor regularly. Glad that we got to try the shallot and thyme one. The bread dough was pillowy with a shiny brown surface, while not feeling oily at all. The sweetness from the caramelized shallot and the herby fragrance from thyme made a harmonious flavor duet.*1/2 Agrodolce Chicken**SERIOUSLY how could they make the chicken (even the chicken breast!) so tender and juicy? Also can we talk about the gremolata? It was fantastic as a dish itself, and add extra textures and tangy flavors if you spread it over the meat.*Trofie (half)We know their carbs wouldn’t be as amazing as their proteins but we still wanted to try. The pasta was cooked to al dente. The mushroom truffle flavor was exactly what you could easily imagine. Nothing mindblowing here.*Milk & Honey GelatoWe picked this right away because I saw it had “pistachio”. The honey was very sweet, but premium in flavor. My cravings was fully satisfied as they didn’t skimp on the crushed pistachios on top. Lowkey wished that the gelato melted a bit slower.“

“I used to come here 30 some years ago when it was Sonoma. It has been several other restaurants through the years but this is the best by far. There are 2 bars. One on the first floor that has retractable windows to open up to the outside. Then there is my favorite bar upstairs. Light, airy, nicely painted walls with olive leaves and glass ceiling.There is a happy hour Monday to Friday, 4 to 6pm. All their signature crafted cocktails are $7 and they are delicious. Our bartender, Jeff, was welcoming and very knowledgeable about his craft. Love that they use a lot of local products. There are other drink options (see my menu photo below) and fun food items. We ordered 2 pizzas (shrimp and artichoke and the pepperoni). Both were fabulous.I will be returning again for their in house made pasta and I can't wait.Parking: People often think that parking is difficult in manayunk but there are plenty of options in the nearby lots if you can't get one on the street.“

“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.“

“Get the fries.They said to order 2-3 plates per person. We got 6 items for 3 people and could have gone with one less.Ranking:1. House fries were hands down our favorite2. The Korean BBQ tofu was also fantastic if you like spicy foodsThe avocado toast, meatballs, and Bao buns were all good. But the calamari just tasted fried and not much else.Yes, it’s loud, but just come prepared. Overall a fun and tasty plant based experience.“

The team there from the top and throughout are pleasant, accommodating and help to create a relaxed environment. The patrons are the same. I’m mulling over becoming a member.Suggestion, read the rules prior to going as there are no outside cigars allowed. That’s ok because their humidor room has a great selection.*while food is not served, they do allow for deliveries from surrounding restaurants*“

“This is easily the best new restaurant in the area. And it isn’t close. We’ve been to Tommy’s four times now, and everything we’ve had is excellent. I keep track of things we order at restaurants and this is what I had to say:Awesome cheesy garlic flatbread; very good half bbq chicken; best French dip ever; awesome fries; very good burgers; excellent sweet potato tots with marshmallow sauce; very good pizza; very good Caesar (get extra dressing); awesome Cherry Coke ribs; excellent pulled pork; great chips (get side of bbq); amazing toffee dessert.The staff is amazing. Super friendly and attentive. It has a good loyalty program. We’ve already received some rewards. Beware though. It has a sports bar vibe and can get pretty noisy. The food is outstanding. I’d be surprised if they made anything that we didn’t like. Check it out.“

“TIME is one of our favorites in Center City. Perfect spot for a pre concert dinner. Sophia was wonderful. Malbec and Pinot Noir were excellent though a bit warm. We had the deviled eggs, short rib (amazing), salmon, and side of Brussels sprouts. All were delicious. Somewhat disappointed the whipped feta is off the menu. Need more vegetarian dishes.“

“Amazing food and polite staff, and a really lively atmosphere. I had a great hangover chicken and waffles (which was personally enjoyably much sweeter than usual at other restaurants, but you do get self serve syrup).However, I think choosing this dish over others here would be doing the restaurant a disservice. It was obvious that with only like three sweet dishes, you should just get their actual food.I’ll be back if I’m in town.“

“My husband and I had such a fun time here! We stopped in for drinks before our dinner reservation. The guys behind the bar were so much fun, and really helpful. I described what type of drinks I like, and they came up with recommendations for me. This place is a great addition to Lancaster Ave! We had such a nice time that we bought a gift card for a friend so they could come and enjoy. Can't wait to come back!“
