“Just a regular old tavern with good food and brews“

“Wow what a great place! Great atmosphere, good food & the best beer on tap!! Highly recommended!“

“We are working our way through Manyunk restaurants and Bar Jawn had some excellent reviews. It was much smaller than I expected but the Bourdain signs and country music told me we were in the right place. Cooper Sharp fried cheese squares with fresh sauce were outrageously good. Cheesesteak with Cooper sharp and cherry peppers did Philly proud. Loved the seeded roll too. Definitely will be back. Service was friendly and attentive. A really great Sunday afternoon.“

“Excellent experience 10/10.“

“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“

“Really like this place. Have been coming for a few months now. They make a good drink and the food is great. Love the chicken quesidillas! The staff is friendly and attentive. The size of the bar is really big, with lots of room for the tables, too.“

“What I love about coming into Jamison Pour House is the local vibe, the friendly owner Dan, the camaraderie, and awesome food and drinks! Those Fries Though... 😍“

“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!“

“Dawn and Keith are wonderful providing great service. The brisket tots are amazing! A great place to see live music.“

“Fantastic BBQ food, great service, fun atmosphere and the tipsy teas are delicious 😋“

“I visited Port Richmond Pub in Philadelphia and thought it was a classic neighborhood bar with a welcoming, friendly vibe. Locals and newcomers alike stop in for cold beers, cocktails, and a relaxed atmosphere that feels like a real hometown spot.

The drink selection is solid, with a mix of domestic and craft beers plus spirits that pair well with tasty pub food — people especially like the cheesesteaks and cutlets when they’re there. The staff are known for being friendly and attentive, which makes it easy to settle in and enjoy the place for a few hours.

Port Richmond Pub also hosts fun events like bingo nights, which adds a lively, community feel to the experience. It’s the kind of bar where you can grab a drink, eat well, and chat with locals — great for a casual night out.“

“Great beer and ambiance at the Fishtown location! The management and staff were so friendly and made us feel welcome! We’ll definitely go back the next time we are in Philadelphia!“

“Cheesesteak tots were so good. Woke up in the middle of the night thinking about them“

“Very divey, but delicious hot wings and flavorful quesadillas. Was a little strange that all the cups were plastic but we assumed maybe the dishwasher was broken. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Still highly recommend.“

“Great food, Cold Beer! What more do you need?!?!?“

“Always a good time. Bartenders are attentive and friendly.“

“Bartenders are great. Excellent beer!“

“Great neighborhood bar with pool tables, outdoor benches, lots of bar seats and tables. The bartenders are friendly even when it’s slammed on Saturdays or during games. I go weekly to hang with friends, watch the games, catch up with the neighborhood, and enjoy the friendly atmosphere. Wide range of people at the bar, it’s very welcoming. Highly recommend this gem!

$1.50 to play pool - put a quarter down on the table to play. Some people are more competitive but overall everyone is there to have fun!

Sometimes they have live music with local artists but just follow them on socials for postings, Wednesdays they have trivia, and they have weekly food deals.

Also I really like their fries.“

“I love this place and the owner! I've been coming here for decades. I'll be here Superbowl Sunday.“

“It was kinda dead on a Wednesday, but after 3 bars and getting hungry stopped at Cheers Cafe on Westmoreland st in Port Richmond...for a pint...early enough they served food. Had a pint and some soup and OMG!!! Soup was amazing..made from scratch and was freaking delicious. Didn't even want to drink anymore wanted to just keep eating...Ordered crab balls to go...he he he!!! Then ordered whatever they had left with the soup...I am so enjoying my day off with the soup!!!! DEFINATELY A PLACE TO STOP FOR FOOD...SO YUMMY!!!“

“Great atmosphere and dinner was delicious!“

“great place! great crowd, great atmosphere , great staff! and they have beer flights! what more could you ask for! haven't been here in years and I'm definitely going to frequent this place a lot more“

“Great wings and beer selection. Cool atmosphere during Red October. Great bartenders and food servers. All around outstanding local pub“

“The Bridesburg Pub for years is a fun place to go. There is always people that you know in there. This particular late day into night visit was awesome with our bartender, Tony, who we were all meeting for the first time. He was very friendly, attentive to our drinks, just a great guy!. My girlfriend and I were on a Chambord kick and I was impressed that they had that liqueur and Tony was no stranger in making my Chambord Sours and Debbie’s French Martini’s.

Parking: We found spots right by the Bridesburg Pub. It was Labor Day Weekend also.“

“Wife and I Need to get out the house for an hour so we looked up a few bars and decided Atlantis it is ( she loves aquaman ) We Had A Long Island And A Old Fashioned. Great Place to Be When Along Frankford Ave. Bartender One Reminds Me Of A Slim Rob Zombie and Great Convo From Here. Bartender Two Was Great With Kinder Minis and Lay's Chips For A Snack from His Personal Stash lol. Phillies Gane Was On Vs Brewers and Got To Educate WIFE On Baseball Along With A Long Time Fan Amy Expalining To Her Also. Oh Yea It's A Big Fluffy Dog That Loved To Be Petted While We Were There. I Highly Suggest Atlantis! Get Up And Get Out The House Come Here“

“TonyFern vs a bit of a vv. c. xx xo“

“Best wings and cheesesteak in the area by far“

“This place is cool! Our band played there with one other band, and the sound was amazing! The atmosphere is super-comfortable. Just like a neighborhood hangout spot with pool tables, darts, lots of TVs with the game on. Real wood paneling - like a really welcoming, homey feel. All decorated for the holidays. You can just relax right into the place. And Archie is the coolest. The soundman and the bartender also were both stellar. Just a really cool place.“

“great food great drinks good service“

“nice people good atmosphere just did all around great time!“

“I am amazed to have discovered this incredible pub right in my neighborhood, where I've lived for over 20 years. Surprisingly, I had no idea it was here, despite the fact that it has been around for more than 12 years. While passing by, I always knew it was some sort of bar, but in the last three years, it has undergone a significant renovation and has been transformed into an exceptionally nice pub and restaurant with expanded outdoor seating and a spacious outdoor hall. The photos and videos truly capture the atmosphere.

On Christmas Eve, my son and I decided to visit the pub in the early afternoon to grab a bite to eat. Many places were closed, and I had always wanted to visit since seeing the renovations. The Christmas spirit was alive as people were enjoying themselves, despite it being Christmas Eve and not overly crowded. Our server, Faith, who warmly greeted us and seated us, was absolutely delightful. She had a great personality and was extremely helpful with the menu, especially since I am vegan. Faith offered some wonderful suggestions. I ended up ordering a veggie pizza with a fantastic crust, homemade tomato sauce, sautéed spinach, broccoli, onions, garlic, herbs, and spices.

As someone who has been a professional chef for over 10 years and has been in the food industry for almost 35 years, I usually have certain expectations when it comes to pub or bar food. However, this exceeded my expectations. My son ordered poutine fries with tender short rib meat, mozzarella cheese, and gravy on crinkle cut fries, and he loved it. I opted for old bay fries which were spot on. The condiment tray was a nice touch, with salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic right on the table.

The atmosphere of the pub is delightful, tastefully decorated, comfortable, and the people are friendly. Despite my busy schedule, which involves visiting around 10 restaurants a week, I look forward to returning to this place. It is right around the corner, making it very convenient for me. The pub is on its way to greatness, and I believe further detailing the menu with descriptions, ingredients, and cooking techniques would make it even better. The transformation of good places into great places often lies in such attention to detail.

In terms of the neighborhood, I have lived in the Harrowgate section of Philadelphia for over 20 years. When I first moved here, it was a challenging neighborhood plagued by poverty, crime, and drug addiction. However, the street I live on and the neighborhood itself are home to wonderful people. The community is diverse, with a large Latino population, African-American, Irish, Polish American, and European American residents. Prior to living here, I resided in Fishtown, which had similar circumstances but has flourished in the last 15 years with new development and businesses. This same revitalization is now occurring in my current neighborhood.“

“Visited this place yesterday for the first time with a friend and the service was great Angie was very welcoming and attentive the drinks were great and so was the vibe I will definitely be coming back. I absolutely loved it here , thank you Angie for your service“

“I come here fairly regularly with my running group. This a great neighborhood bar, the owner is awesome and super friendly. The food is also better than you'd expect for a dive bar, but it still has the dive bar charm. This is easily my favorite bar up the hill in Manayunk“

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

“I'd say I've been coming here for just over 20 years now. I enjoy the people and the atmosphere here. It is a beer and shot bar, the bartenders are friendly and attentive, the food especially the homemade soups are great. You can always meet up with friends or make new ones and have a good time, nice shuffle board, shuffle bowl, and slot chance games here great selection of music on the jukebox. Drinks are affordable and the place has been here over 50 years.“

“I went in the other night like usual, got my beer and sat down, a guy walked in and assaulted the cook, and he still made everyone’s food. I asked him how his face was and all he said was “as long as the food was good”
Ten out of ten“

“A home away from home for Commanders fans living in Philadelphia. Old Bay is featured heavily on the menu, as it should be. They easily accommodated our walk in party of 14 and put up with us playing "Hail To The Redskins" on the jukebox repeatedly.

*To the couple Commanders fans who left negative reviews, that's not cool and you're missing the joke.*“

“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!!“

“Had a quick bite with my fiancé and the food was delicious! Bartender was friendly and the the food came out fast! We will definitely be back.“

“Yes very clean nice people Bartender was nice“

“Murphy’s Tavern is honestly one of my favorite local hangout spots! The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by super friendly staff who always seem happy to see you. They’re quick with service, always checking in, and just genuinely nice people who make the whole place feel really welcoming.

The vibe here is super chill — great for grabbing a drink after work or spending a weekend night out with friends. They’ve got games outside AND inside which makes it even better when the weather’s nice. It’s so fun to just hang out, play a few rounds, and enjoy the atmosphere.

The crowd is always friendly too, and there’s this nice community feel to the place that you don’t get everywhere. Between the good drinks, beer draft selection, great people, and the outdoor setup, Murphy’s Tavern is the kind of spot you end up staying at longer than you planned.

If you’re looking for a laid-back place with great service and a fun vibe, this is definitely it!“

“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 .“

“I always have a great time at LB’s Lounge. They totally changed the atmosphere in Onley.“

“The cook name DonDon cooks their Monday through Friday some weekends ..the food is excellent and amazing ..you have to try shrimp night mon $1 a shrimp..sauteed shrimp amazing.. great bartenders amazing women great customer service🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Great NE Philly neighborhood bar. Cold beers and friendly atmosphere.“

“First time there, went thanks to Diner Drives and Dines recommendations. The WIT was so good. Atmosphere and service was awesome.! Love the vibe there. We will be back!“

“My son and I made a point to visit this Bar and Grill when holidaying through the USA just short of 12 months ago and are still talking about how great that night was. we have the same name but are not related and never been there previously but the welcoming and service from all concerned was outstanding.“
