“This place consistently delivers a fantastic experience. My wife and I always have a great time whenever we visit. The bar is
the perfect size, not overwhelming but still offering a vibrant atmosphere. We especially appreciate the impressive selection of liquors and the rotating draft beer options, keeping things interesting. Only issue stems from the TV situation, particularly when trying to catch any Philly sports. The picture quality tends to be pixelated, making it difficult to watch comfortably and even causing my wife's eye strain.“

“Awesome food and excellent service I had a pasta night special!
kale & ricotta gnocchi, marinara, fennel, serrano jamon, broccolini comes w/ garlic bread & side caesar salad which was amazing. I highly recommend this place“

“Tim is the friendliest bartender ever!!!!“

“I had a blast at Jaxx!! The food was so delicious and everyone who worked there had great energy!! Pregame was a lot of fun with great live music. Highly recommend Jaxx for friends and families needing a fun night or day out to eat and watch Philly’s sports!!“

“This charming hidden gem of a restaurant near the Italian market in South Philly is the perfect date night spot. Very intimate, yet relaxed. There's great variety on the menu for all types of appetites and diners, and they have an impressive robust efficiency in the kitchen that serves up dishes at a great pace and quality. Recently went and tried their tasting menu and my entire service was completed in 90 minutes from the moment I walked in to the close of the bill. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I ain't a drinker I was told to bring some beer for the Cookout I was invited to this Beer Place here these people are quick in and out on the Money it's clean and they'll call the police if anyone decides they wanna hang out in or outside of the Property Making there Customers safe 5 Stars ?“

“Every time I've been here the food and drinks have been excellent and very reasonably priced, The Service is always exceptional and very friendly. It's one of the best spots in the neighborhood. Also don't sleep on the French toast or the martinis.“

“A big thank you to Phil and his amazing staff at Rosemary. Me and my good friend stopped by after attending a viewing of a life long friend. Even though it was close to closing time, everyone was extremely welcoming and the couple pints that we got were exactly what we needed with just the right amount of haze. This local gem of a restaurant is a true treasure here in Ridley Park. Thank you for everything.“

“We hosted the rehearsal dinner for our wedding here in September 2024. We had about 50 people and were able to rent out the entire indoor space. The owner and staff were very welcoming and accommodating with our menu and bar options. Planning with them was a breeze. We were very happy with the food. We actually had a difficult time hitting the minimum at the end of the night! We highly recommend hosting your private party at Chestnut Hill Brewing!“

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

“Fast, friendly service.. Great food!!“

“great service and good food“

“This brewery has some of the best beer in the states in my opinion.

We have been to over 100 breweries and its not uncommon for us to find one amazing beer or good all around but its rare to find a tone of amazing beers and that is what we found.

Orange crush beer was amazing and if you like hazys with a very fruit forward taste (like me) this would be right down your ally.
The Peanutbutter porter had great smooth peanutbutter taste without bwing overwhelming or too sweet. I think peanutbutter is perfect for porters and this is a prome examplem. Also i am really bias tword draft over canned but the pog sour was the best sour i have had in a long time. The perfect mix of sweet and sour with deep passion fruit and orange flavors.

The staff is also phenomenal. Great with recommendations, super friendly and generous with samples. We talked to some of them for a long time while it was slower.

The atmosphere is pretty great too. Huge bar island with good seating, and plugs that makes it easy to talk with people. The obey thing with the bar I would change is how close the chairs are. They were almost all touching so getting in is tricky.

The internet was actually pretty good here too. We worked here for a few hours on a weekday and it was fast and quiet enough to work (though gets a bit louder later)

I will be back whenever I can and if I ever live in philly again this will be my spot.“

“Was there last night for early dinner and stayed to see the Eagles first TD. Food was fresh and extremely tasty. The vibe here is great. The service was excellent. Our server, Max, was very personable and gives very good recommendations. Max is not the only server like this. It seems to be the culture there. They have a lot of loyal customers. When we left the was a couple looking for a place to eat and watch the game. I quickly recommended Glory. If in Old City and near Chestnut and 2nd give them a try. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Omg the hot roast beef sandwich 😋😋 delicious! Have extra napkins“

“We had a bunch of new menu picky foods tonight instead of a huge dinner. Wings, White Thunder Quesadillas, Lemon Pepper Salmon Bites, Egg Rolls were Excellent. Staff and Atmosphere were great too. I will always support my small business people. Thanks Vince 👍“

“I love this place. Spasso Italian Grill has truly given me the best first time experience that I've had. My money & time was well spent. The atmosphere is warm & welcoming. Everything was phenomenal. I will be back! 🤌🏾👍🏾“

“First time there. It was awesome. Burgers are to die for!!“

“The food and service were outstanding and the ambiance was perfect for our Anniversary dinner.“

“Parkway Corner Deli is a reliable modern deli with a great selection of breakfast sandwiches, hoagies, snacks, and drinks. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite in the morning or picking up something satisfying for lunch, they’ve got you covered. The shelves are stocked with all kinds of chips and snacks, and there’s a nice variety of beers and sodas to go with your meal. Definitely worth stopping in if you’re nearby.“

“stop by curious of good burgers !! found GREAT burgers and FANTASTIC people! now Wolf Burger is my reg. Friday stop @ 👍🏻😋❤️“

“Wonderful Valentine’s dinner!“

“Beautiful atmosphere , fun foods with great flavor“

“Great service, food and drinks. Dylan was our bartender and server. On point with everything, friendly and accommodating. We will be back!“

“Stopped by Superior yesterday after a hot, dusty day at the Conshohocken Mill! Ran into your tasting rep and loved your product 💯👍“

“Great dive-ish bar whose Sunday Happy Hour (5-7) is taking on legendary status. Great craft beer selection and interesting cocktails. Friendly place. Highly recommended.“

“Excellent beer and food with impeccable service. I ordered a flight including blonde, session ale, West coast IPA, and brown ale. The blonde is light and crispy with a very light sweetness at the end. The session ale has the traditional bitter and hint of malt. This one finishes with what I describe as a dry tobacco finish. The west coast IPA takes me back to the great IPAs of the 2000s. This was such a treat. And the brown ale is perfectly malty. You have to love a good brown.

For food, we had the wontons with a dill sauce, Buffalo cauliflower, and a chicken sandwich. All tasty, well-prepared and quality ingredients. Excellent stop.“

“I’ve had just coffee here, and a meal as well! Very cozy spot to get schoolwork or work done. Great location, and there is usually parking out front for drivers. We highly recommend the tomato soup with grilled cheese as well as the hummus app.“

“Great craft beer menu. We ordered a few appetizers: plain nachos (large plate; very cheesy & delicious), margarita pizza and fried pickles (both were very good). Bartenders were very attentive. It’s a converted bank so you can still see the vault which is a cool feature. Highly recommend.“

“I had the Bancroft beer. It was a wonderful pale ale. Great mosaic flavour and really light alcohol for the amount of body and taste. Happy hour was very reasonably priced. I got the Smashburger, and as shown in the picture, it is a hamburger nicely dressed. I don’t think it’s quite fitting into the Smashburger category as Patty is just a bit too thick and not a ton of caramelization from the actual smashing I would totally try this place again especially happy hour. The bathroom is really nice and they did have a spot that they’re obviously letting people do the graffiti on which is the door so that people don’t tag up the walls.“

“Great food & drinks, the most fun and active crowds. Very attentive staff. Best place to enjoy any Philadelphia sporting event!“

“Drove by Springfield Ale House a bunch of times before ever going in. We have been there twice in the last few weeks and I could kick myself for waiting so long to go in. Can’t wait to go back. Good selection of beers on tap and some excellent cocktails as well as a great food menu.“

“Pretty good selection of beers and there are more than enough TVs to tune in to watch whatever local game you’re trying to catch. I think the service could be a bit better but other than that, it’s a fine little watering hole for locals.“

“the holy trinity of wings, drinks, and sports on the tv. came by high recommendation from a local foodie group. if you try anything you gotta do the chiodo wings, that sauce should be wholesale! and ask for molly she's a sweetheart!“

“Lots of beer options. Friendly staff and management“

“Jaffa is redone into a stunning venue for great food and excellent service. 3 of us shared several dishes from the Cold and Hot sections of the menu; each of which was a creative bundle of flavors that looked beautiful and tasted great. Our server, Jose, provided excellent service, knew the menu and the wine list well, and guided us to make very good choices based on our interests and preferences. It was a great experience.“

“My Saturday morning running club @lezrun starts at Lloyd Hall and finishes at Cosmic Cafe with laughs and conversation over a wide assortment of beverages and generously portioned meals and snacks, either outside in nice weather or upstairs when we must. I love all the staff and it’s the only place I feel like “a regular.”“

“This place is a hidden gem in the area. Great food and great selection of beers. The staff is super friendly and the prices are reasonable. They have a nice outdoor area to eat, drink, and chill while talking with friends or checking out their garden. I recommend their bulgogi anything and samgyupsal.“

“Cheap beer, outside TV’s and pub fare.“

“Great atmosphere and great people.“

“Always have a great time at Craft Beer Store, Springfield.“

“love the pizza , cheese steaks , love the strombolis!! killer wings !best hand tossed pizza in all Delaware county!“

“I have been coming to Freddy & Tony's since i was born! As soon as you walk in they make you feel like your family. If you do not speak Spanish or know how to read Spanish that is not a problem here their menu is biligual, and so are the staff. This place is were I go to get a home style meal from the islands. My favorite is their sweet plantain, stewed chicken, arroz con gandules, and salad(***put oil and vinegar on it not salad dressing it cuts the fat from the food you're eating to refresh you pallet). They have tons of options to choose from too, just know that if you going here on a Saturday or Sunday be ready for a crowd because this is THE best place to go for Puerto Rican food in Philly!“

“Great vibe & food! We were welcomed enthusiastically, and the burger, cheesesteaks, and pizza were fantastic! Keep it up!“

“We had an amazing time. The owner Jim was very accommodating and our server Chris was amazing! Not to mention to food was great as well. I highly recommend!!“

“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!“

“Been in here 3x on two separate trips to Philly. Same experience all 3 times. Excellent food prepared out front by a very kindly cook. Fantastic bartenders. Great conversation with strangers next to me (always stemming from the 10/10 great playlist going on the stereo). The atmosphere in here is so warm and cozy. I'm not a person who hangs out in bars but every time I come here I seriously don't wanna leave. It looks a little out of the way on the map from all the tourist stuff but it's not. 22nd is a nice street to walk down.“

“Beer and pizza in a nice atmosphere at its best“

“nice bar, good food, older crowd and great drinks...“
