50 Best Pubs near Ambler

“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 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.“

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

“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.“

“Great bar, Nick was knowable about the beer selections he knew where every beer was manufacture red, the highlights of its taste. Offered samples and had feedback before taking my order. Fixed the dart board and hooked me up with darts 🤫“

“Taylor the best bartender they have!!! Always smiling and know what you’re drinking!!!“

“Smegy's is my favorite little hole in the wall! Always a good time. I am always happy when I walk in & see Chris behind the bar. That guy is awesome! Good people, great prices & chill vibe. Get one of the pizzas if they have them.“

“We were shocked to be the only brunch customers. Of course, it was a Saturday, and Sunday brunch is more popular. But it's a secret gem hidden within the club house of Bucks County Country Club. Food was good and reasonably priced. Atmosphere was lovely, with a large roaring fireplace overlooking the 18th green. Highly recommended!!!“

“Been to Graham's about a dozen times over the past three years and I can say it's consistent and what you expect if you know what to expect. Typically I've gone later in the evening and on slower weeknights so I cannot say exactly what the crowd, service, or food would be like on a busy Friday or Saturday evening in primetime. But the management and staff have always been friendly, the food, particularly anything that comes on a roll, is good, and the prices are great, especially considering you're a few minutes away from Chestnut Hill, the ritziest neighborhood in Philadelphia, as well as the start of some fancy-schmancy burbs. If you like hole-in-the wall no b.s. bars with decent food and fair prices that attracts local - check this place out.“

“It's a nice little place to get a sandwich or a drink. There are plenty of booths and a bar to sit at in Glenside. This is a staple in Glenside that has been here for years. This is a Hallmark place to go to for a dinner or a snack or a cold drink. Everyone knows the Pub.“

“Had a good time watch the game and enjoying some beer!“

“Great location; fabulous townhouses!“

“great drinks wonderful music and just a great atmosphere“

“Drinks are to margaritas 16.00 come on wow“

“Just a great place to eat and hangout!“

“Castle Roxx is my go to stop. Every time I come I have a great experience. All of the bar tenders always are amazing and work so hard to make my experience the best in Manayunk. Eric and Vinny are two of my favorite bar tenders. They make even the slowest nights the most fun. I normally come during the week, as opposed to the weekends, and I never regret it.“

“I enjoyed my burger and my beignets. I highly recommend this place.“

“First Roosters experience. Chicken wings, 9/10. Richie knows wings. Caesar salad, 9.5/10. Richie knows Julius Caesar. Kathy talked me into Shrimp and Grits. A first time for me. You'd think you were living in the south, the grits made me forget about the Mel's Diner reference. Outstanding, tasty flavorful shrimp. A couple of Guiness and call it a day. A great day at Roosters! Only wish Joe Magarity was here with us.“

“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... 😍“

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

“What an awesome place an food👍“

“Delicious tavern food, many tavern options on menu. I’ve had several different items at this point and they all have hit. Generous portions. Reasonably priced.

The staff is very friendly. They do get bombarded with volume at times but they are fast, manage it well and still manage to smile.

Great place to watch sports. Many big TVs considering size of the restaurant.

Good draft selection and take out options. Also reasonably priced.

Impressed and highly recommend this tavern!“

“Lots of fun- great place to watch a game.“

“My friends & I (party of 10) met at Capone's on Sunday, March 24, 2024. We were set up in a room that made it very easy for us to talk with each other while we ate. The menu gave a lot of options for all of us, the service was outstanding, and we were not rushed. Most of us had never been there before, but we all agreed how much we liked it, & we plan to do it again.“

“Not a busy night but Jennifer gave us a late date that we could make and we reciprocated by sitting down upon arrival rather than enjoying some bar time.The entire staff worked together to make it feel unrushed, and we had a much needed relaxing meal in a family environment.“

“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“

“Great food and service. Patti was our waitress and was just fabulous.“

“My sister and her girlfriend came to Philly from North Carolina to visit And out of all the places I took them, they had the best time ever here at Walts. That's all they talked about. Shot out to Steve and Crew Hands down they left thst place Soaked from all the dancing ?? ?“

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

“I had a burger delivered and it was so good! It was a nice medium rare and had fresh lettuce, tomato and onion. It was very juicy and the bun didn’t collapse to the liquid. It was also still hot and delicious after the delivery. The bacon wasn’t thin flimsy bacon either it was a nice thickness and had good flavor. The times that I have been to Murphy’s in person the waiters were very nice and it was an excellent enjoyable time. Overall a very nice place, I would go again soon.“

“Not my first time here. Won’t be my last. Friendly happy atmosphere. Clean ! Servers smile and care about patrons who might not be in their area. Carla is so funny. The perfect people person. Service was excellent. Our meals after choosing from the vast menu was delish. Roast Beef Dip. Happy customers !“

“We recently hosted a surprise party at the 1750 Grill inside the Holiday Inn Kulpsville, and our experience was wonderful from start to finish. The staff was extremely responsive and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. They were flexible with everything we needed and even helped come up with solutions so the event could run exactly the way we envisioned.

One of the things we appreciated most was how they allowed us to use the room freely as long as we took care of it. They really let us “do our thing,” which made the setup and overall flow of the party so much easier and more enjoyable.

The space itself was perfect — private, with doors we could close so the event felt intimate and just for our group. Their pricing was also very reasonable, especially considering the level of service and the quality of the venue.

Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would absolutely recommend the 1750 Grill for anyone looking to host an event. The combination of flexibility, great service, and a private, comfortable space made our surprise party a success!“

“Definitely recommend...this place is awesome!“

“16 of their own beers on tap“

“Great atmosphere and dinner was delicious!“

“Excellent now!!! Had sworn off years ago before new ownership took over and cleaned up the place! Just got around to trying again. Have been twice now so far. Delish food, super friendly staff, welcoming diner! And clean. Keep it up Andy’s, great job. Lastly and most importantly…Vanessa/Miss V is the best. Wonderful service, Miss V!!! Thank you.“

“Great place to watch the game! Terrific staff and good food!“

“I stopped in for lunch and got the fish and chips. Excellent fish, decent fries.
It was tasty enough that I came back for dinner to try the chili. Glad I did! Great chili! (Though I wasn't a fan of the half-a-hoagie on the side). Got a draft beer that went with it, and got out under $20. Can't complain!
Alexis was awesome, kept me topped up and good cheer never failed.
They have a game room, a patio in good weather, and a better than decent selection of food and drink both.
And the iced tea was nice and strong.“

“We had a 90th Birthday Party for my dad there! The food & service were great. The staff was helpful & accommodating! Would highly recommend! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Good local spot, friendly staff, pool table, music box. , good food“

“We showed up today a Steppys very skeptical because of name change. But all was good old Steppys. Michele the waitress was great, polite and professional, my service was perfect, my prime rib dinner was fabulous, so was the crab cakes, salad, mash tasters, and french onion soup. There was not even a wait to get in at 530pm. Been going here over 20 years and will continue.“

“Corner pub- met the Chef - Rube from west philly like me , lived near Jim’s steaks
He nailed it- made his own bread - hard seeded and the steak and cheese and onions were great
He said only 5% can eat the whole thing - we agreed- leftover for lunch
The fries were crinkle fries and were also awesome
Beers on tap maybe 20

Great place to hang out and eat/drink“

“The food there is amazing my favorites are the pizza steak the cheese fries and the Parmesan wings“

“We sat out on the porch which was delightful. Nice and bright. The food is good here. The burger and fries were good as were the salmon and tuna. The service was good and we were not rushed. This is a convenient location for us with wonderful parking and open 7 days a week which is nice.“

“Love the atmosphere! Good food, great service! Fun place to be and celebrate!“

“Fantastically fun atmosphere. It is the "must visit" destination in the area. Great food, drinks, and service. A good place to watch a game! The owners are incredibly dedicated people. You won't be disappointed.“

“Fun place with very good food!“

“Was here before, but not recently. 5 of us met for some food and drinks. The nachos and buffalo chicken dip apps were good. I had the brisket tacos and they were fair. The meat was good, but not much overall flavor.
I would go back if we were going to meet up in the area again, but I would try a different entree.“

“food and service was very good.“
