50 Best Bars near Ambler

“Excellent experience 10/10.“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you haven’t been to Angelina’s Restaurant yet, you’re missing out—this place is a gem our area has been waiting for.

The bruschetta paired with the shrimp scampi was absolutely out of this world—fresh, flavorful, and done to perfection. And the penne vodka pasta? Incredible. You can taste the quality in every bite.

What really sets this place apart is the experience. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the owner personally came out to check on us—which tells you everything about the pride they take in what they’re building.

This is the kind of spot you don’t just try once—you come back to again and again. So excited to have this right here in our community.

We’ll definitely be back… often. 🍝✨“

“If you are looking for a local divey bar this is it. Bartender was pleasant. There was a dart game in progress on the night we came. We were too late to order food but behind the bar and bar top seemed pretty clean. The booths near front entrance also looked recently re done. Even though we are not from the area- the regulars were welcoming.“

“Hands down... our favorite restaurant!“

“Great food cold drinks and awesome service.“

“I had my daughter’s Bridal Shower on 5/11/24 here. The staff was really nice, accommodating and food was delicious. Our guest really enjoyed it. I will recommend this place to anyone who is thinking of having an event here.“

“One of our many favorite spots in Ambler. Hosted my birthday on New Years Eve. They were very accommodating. Great staff and atmosphere.“

“Claire was awesome upstairs at the bar!!! Her recommendations were amazing for food and spirits!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Such a friendly local Pub and beers are delicious!“

“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!“

“we have had multiple visits for dinner & enjoyed everyone since The Daisy Tavern has opened-
I have always known from our first visit i would like to have some sort of event held here- and it was perfect for our baby shower!!
the room, the food, the service was all 10/10! All of my guests kept complimenting the food and atmosphere the entire time! Melissa, Rochelle & staff were so attentive and kind, couldn’t have asked for a better baby shower!“

“Jaeda the Bartender doesn't just give amazing service, she's also a certified Grizzly Bear Black Belt. Picture this: I'm leaving Panico's late one night, and i hear a strange growling noise. At first i was worried it may be my stomach, but then i recalled the decadent fries ala cheese Jaeda had made promptly and served me with good cheer. Alas, it twas not my intestinal dilemma, but a full grown King of the Forest! Eight terrifying feet of Ursa Major bearing down on me. All puns intended. Just as i thought i would finally learned the fabled mystery of where the bear defecates in the woods, who should appear across the threshold of Panicos entrance, but Jaeda, with twin Katana blades at the ready. Tonya Harding would be jealous of the grace and elegance of her as she sliced through the air and guts of the furry invader. After leaving the battered carcass of the bear strewn thither, she came back to me, covered in blood and bear feces. I was glad, for i was covered in my own, and soiled mine undergarments quite profusely. Jaeda offered me basketball shorts that are 2 sizes to big, and a Bird's Jersey, as is the custom of the region, and walked me safely to my chariot. Definitely try the cheesesteak!“

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

“I’ve only been here a handful of times, but I’ve never been disappointed. The food is how pub food should be - solid portion sizes, tasty, prepared and presented to satisfy the craving I’ve built up in my mind. The bartenders are engaging and give off “authentically themselves” energy, and the other patrons embrace the vibe - it’s friendly, warm, and welcoming with fun conversations and a lot of laughs.“

“Bartenders are great. Excellent beer!“

“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.“

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

“Great atmosphere and dinner was delicious!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“TonyFern vs a bit of a vv. c. xx xo“

“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“

“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.*“

“Gorgeous Venue comfortable & welcoming would definitely host another event there 🤩“

“The selection of liquor, the outside patio and the food all work together.“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

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

“I was staying in Plymouth meeting for a few months from dallas for work and this place quickly became a home away from home. Was right after the eagles won the Superbowl and nobody gave me a hard time when I wore my cowboys gear in! Good friendly people. Reminded me of my little hometown bar back in Dallas. Great food too!“

“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🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“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!“

“No food just vending machine snacks they do allow you to bring outside food. The staff is always accommodating and friendly the fellow guests are always fun to be around too. Highly recommend they do have karaoke every other Saturday night.“

“great food great atmosphere best on main line“

“Danielle is the best bartender! She is such a great girl, takes complete care of all your wants and needs with a smile. I can’t wait to come back!“

“Fantastic food and service. Favorite burgers and wonderful fries! Healthy options as well.“

“This spot is nice and chill. I love the vibe and it’s a hidden gem. The food is definitely worth coming back for as well as the atmosphere. Our bartender Sasha was great and very friendly. Try the cheesesteak egg rolls and the wings! You won’t be disappointed.“

“I’m from California live in Washington state now flew out there for a game. Was told about this place went with some friends and had a ball. I loved the atmosphere the music the vibe it’s like in the movies had never experienced a bar like this one. Would go back if I visit Philly again.“

“McKinley Tavern is one of those spots that just gets it right every single time. From the moment you walk in, you’re hit with that unmistakable Philly sports vibe, TVs buzzing, fans locked in, and that perfect mix of energy and comfort that makes you want to stay for hours. But what really sets this place apart is the people. Chy and Kelsey are absolute standouts, those warm, genuine smiles make you feel like a regular even if it’s your first visit. They’ve got that rare ability to keep things fun while staying on top of everything, and it elevates the whole experience.And let’s talk about the drinks, these are not your average pours. We’re talking hard-hitting, expertly made hood cocktails that don’t mess around. Whether you’re celebrating a win or shaking off a tough loss, McKinley Tavern delivers exactly what you need.Great vibes, even better service, and drinks that come with a punch!“

“We love all of the Pier restaurants! Brain and team work hard at making the atmosphere welcoming and their food is creative and delicious!“
