49 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.“

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

“My second time at the establishment and it was just as excellent as my first. For me, hands down the best Manhattan in Philadelphia. And it was as good as my first.

I only ate French fries at my first visit having brunched earlier in Manayunk and they also were just as delicious. The Taphouse bacon burger was divine. Just the best mix of crispy edges, gooey cheese, fresh & delicious tomatoes (rare for January in the NE! ) and possibly a common , happy problem to have, SO much food. I enjoyed every bite & sip & our server for a fair sized group of more than 15 was friendly, efficient and very well organized.“

“I use to play pool when I was younger. It was great times. Since they took the tables out im only in there 2x a year. Service still good, Greg the bar tender is awsome, food is bar food and nothing really omg special but plentiful and good prices. Ross plumbing had there Christmas party there, had a good time. Good spot small parties and bago.“

“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 Pin is a fantastic spot that delivers on both food and vibe. The pork sandwich alone is worth the trip, tender, flavorful, and done right. What really sets the place apart, though, is the atmosphere. It’s lively without being overwhelming, welcoming, and exactly the kind of place you want to settle into for a long night with friends. A true neighborhood gem.“

“Second time here! Highly recommend the outdoor seating. The food (burger, chicken wraps, risotto, salade and sweet potato fries) was great, though the coffee was a bit disappointing. Friendly service and a nice atmosphere overall. I'll be visiting again“

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

“Drinks are to margaritas 16.00 come on wow“

“Just a great place to eat and hangout!“

“great drinks wonderful music and just a great atmosphere“

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

“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.“

“What an awesome place an food👍“

“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... 😍“

“Excellent experience 10/10.“

“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.“

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

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

“We have been coming here since it opened. We always have a fantastic time when we visit. Lauren and Joanne at the bar are amazing. It was our first time actually sitting down for dinner, Kate, our server was fantastic. Highly recommend this place“

“We came in for a quick stop from out of town. This place came recommended from the folk music store and they were right! Every dish we had was delicious with me having the Korean tacos myself. So happy to swing by and enjoy the local flavor!“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere and dinner was delicious!“

“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.“

“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 !“

“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.“

“neighborhood gem, from the moment we arrived the host and hostess seated our group of 6 right away. the service was top notch, we had the "A" team , the food and drinks were perfect! we will definitely be back. thanks for a great experience“

“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“

“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.“
