“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.“

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

“Drinks are to margaritas 16.00 come on wow“

“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.“

“We had a family meetup to celebrate Grandma's 80th Birthday. We were greeted by the incredible hospitality team with a smile. Tina jumped in to assist with our set up, and Lisa went above and beyond with our orders and spirited service. The reservation process for our large party was seamless thanks to Ashley. Professional and pleasant, fun atmosphere, and great food and service. A slam-dunk, and happy grandparents.“

“Unlike Dr G’s terrible take, I loved the wings and thought there were perfect. Not sure what bunk blue cheese is but their blue cheese was great as always. Started with the best wings and town and got the best cheesesteak in town. They also serve Garage beer which is also another big bonus. Always love coming here, friendly staff and amazing food!“

“It’s less fancy than you might think, but honestly, the prices here are unreal for what you get. We came on a weekday and it was pretty chill. Good drinks and a really relaxed atmosphere, totally worth checking out for a casual hang.“

“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.“

“The Glenside Pub is exactly what a neighborhood pub should be. Great food, the best Guinness around, and a classic old-school atmosphere right in the heart of Glenside. Jennie is one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had—funny, quirky, and your glass is never empty. She’s always ready with a perfectly timed “that’s what she said” joke. Ryan runs a great place and is also very generous to the local community. Definitely worth stopping in.“

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

“What an awesome place an food👍“

“Excellent experience 10/10.“

“Just a great place to eat and hangout!“

“great drinks wonderful music and just a great atmosphere“

“For being a bar, it was actually pretty nice for sitting down to eat. The waitress was super friendly and the food was surprisingly good. I got the nachos and and buffalo chicken cheese steak. I'd go there again, especially if I was in the mood to drink too because they had a solid beer selection with a few nicer craft options. I also saw they had a good selection of beer to go which is a bonus.“

“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... 😍“

“I stopped at the New Britain Inn for lunch today for the first time in several years, and the food was fantastic!

I had the roast beef sandwich with cheese, horseradish sauce, and au jus. The roast beef was extremely tender, the sandwich was generously proportioned, and the combination of the horseradish and au jus was excellent.

I got the onion rings on the side, and they were delicious and plentiful—so many that I couldn’t finish them all!

I used to come here years ago for the ribs, but it had been quite a while since I’d been back. I’m glad I stopped in today. The service was good, the portions were generous, and the food was outstanding.

Definitely a 5-star lunch. I’ll be back“

“Smoking, if you like that. And most people do it. Ventilation is not amazing.

This is the local bar I would travel to go to. Great drink specials and bar food including fried pickles.

Under Jess and Destiny’s care, this place goes ALL OUT on decoration. If they had lights outside this would be the PECO free-electricity-for-the-season winner. For Halloween, this place was haunted. Other occasions are spectacular.“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere and dinner was delicious!“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“Castle Roxx is the spot where I randomly stumbled upon in my young 20s and I “remember” having a great night, but I recently went back during a bar crawl last Oct ‘25.

It’s just fun! There’s a spin the wheel, I ended up with a blowup pony, and more recently just had a good time. Worth it to go in a grab a drink or shot, then continue on with wherever the night goes!“

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

“Great bar and bartender!! I came in for brunch and got the layin at mays omelette and a bloody mary and it was incredible! Kevin was very attentive, fun to talk to, and made a great drink! Definitely will be returning for dinner one night soon!!“

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

“Expected a massive wait given the local buzz, but we were seated surprisingly quickly. The atmosphere was lively, maybe a bit too much for a quiet chat, but the staff managed the rush well. A solid option if you can snag a table without much fuss.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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 !“

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

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

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

“We had such a wonderful experience at the Jarrettown Hotel for a wedding dinner last night. The entire evening was beautiful, and the food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented.

The staff deserves a special mention — everyone was incredibly polite, respectful, hardworking, and attentive. Even when the storm came and we had to move inside, they handled everything so professionally and made sure everyone was comfortable.

Our child was especially happy with the pasta and French fries they brought for her, which made the evening even more special for our family. 😊

Overall, it was a beautiful wedding, a lovely dinner, and a wonderful memory for all of us. We truly enjoyed our time at the Jarrettown Hotel and would be very happy to come back again!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Pitchers is a spot I go strictly for shots in between bar hopping around Manayunk. I used to stay to grab 1-2 drinks since it’s usually me and my girlfriends. We came to a conclusion that it’s fun for a shot or two, but then to carry on since it’s more of a sports bar (nothing wrong with that!)

There are regulars and college students that go here which is cool. It’s a diverse group, but I’ve noticed more guys drink here.

The bartenders are quick and friendly, even when the bar is packed with people, they always seem to spot me grabbing their attention.

Drinks are cheap/inexpensive as compared to center city. I went in there and got two tequila sodas, only $12 for the two. I think when I ordered shots it only came out to around $25 for 4, but I’m not sure.

I’ve come in I groups of 4, and groups of like 15, fun either way!“

“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.“

“I visited 123 Fayette Street in Conshohocken and was struck by the cozy, lively atmosphere—think rustic decor and a bustling crowd. The staff was friendly and attentive, though service felt a bit slow during peak hours. The Philly cheesesteak pizza was hearty, but portions felt modest for the price. Parking was tricky near the venue, but a few spots opened up after a short wait. A small suggestion: check out the rooftop for stunning sunset views—it’s a hidden gem!“

“Fun place with very good food!“
