50 Best Bars near Bridgeport

“The bartenders are on point, as is the pricing for anything outside of a private club. It's legit one of the last bastions of what a "corner bar" quintessentially is - afforable drinks, great service and interesting people. If the smoke isn't a deal breaker for you, stop in.“

“This was our first time here. We had a great experience. Wait staff was friendly and appropriately attentive. Great selection of beers. Happy hour, so 1/2 priced beers, and $5 off of wine, and reduced price cocktails. The 23 burger was huge, and cooked perfectly. My wife had the chicken cheese steak which she said was awesome! For being in Bridgeport, it was nice that they have their own dedicated parking. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely return....“

“I’ve come here twice so far…and will definitely continue to come here. Both times were very enjoyable! The first time I had the chicken avocado tacos, they were pretty good. Prob a 3.9/5. But the wings! Had them the first time for dinner, and came back for the lunch special; consistent both times. Their honey hot is delicious. I’d just keep getting honey hot tbh. Both servers we had were great and attentive. Honestly no complaints! Can’t wait to try other menu items. ?“

“We were there for lunch, loved the food, especially the short rib pizza, and I usually don't eat pizza. My friend thought there was a little too much cheese. Never. I had some sort of crab pasta. It was ok, not loaded with crab like the waiter said. My friend had a salad, no complaints, but the waiter had to be asked to refill our water and tea, and we had to wait to get his attention. It wasn't busy. I loved the tiramisu. The waiter packed up our separate "to go's" nicely. I would definitely go back, lots of interesting things on the menu.“

“Visited for lunch on a sunny Sunday. Solid wine and beer list and fantastic food! The only downside was that there is limited seating and we were near the windows. The sun was streaming in and there was no window shade. Not only were we warm, we ate the whole meal with the sun in our eyes! I’m hoping they fix this issue bc it’s an easy fix and the food was truly delicious“

“we had the best time celebrating my mother in laws birthday here. she asked me to write this review specifically to say how wonderful the service and food was! they provided us champagne and a cookie sundae with a a candle to help is celebrate. it was an amazing place to have a birthday party and we 10/10 would recommend for any occasion! food and drinks were phenomenal. Angelina was our server, we couldn’t say better things about her.“

“Jimmy is excellent. He takes great care of us. We have been here numerous times. He is an excellent source of information and provides outstanding service. The food is always great. Portions are generous. We love the homemade chips and anything with carnitas.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of options for folks with a gluten sensitivity.Parking: Plenty of parking for everyone.“

“I recently worked as a photographer at this bar/restaurant space that was being used for a wedding. There is a small space in the back thats great for pictures and small parties. They also have a bar upstairs and ample parking across the street. The appetizers were delicious and creative. Its a nice venue to hold a small event or to have drinks/dinner.“

“good beer selections and one of the best burgers I've had no I can't remember how long. For real best in region ?♥️Went again last night with the family. Our youngest turned 21 and wanted to go to Lucky's. The staff made him feel special. Very cool“

“I had my 21st birthday party at the Bayou and every single person had an amazing time! The staff is so friendly and was so communicative, really making me feel special and ensuring that the experience was great. The pricing was very affordable and If you are considering doing an event here I would 1000% recommend it! Me and my friends enjoyed ourselves so much we want to do another event there soon :).“

“The food was fantastic! I recommend the calamari for an appetizer. Prime rib special was out of this world. It paired well with their signature old fashioned. To finish things off, I enjoyed the apple strudel dessert. The service was wonderful. Food was perfectly prepared and executed. Same goes for the drinks. I really enjoyed date night dining with my wife here.“

“Looking for a place to grab a cold beer, burger, and/or sushi? We'll look no further the food and service at Guppy's are top notch w/ very reasonable prices. They even have their own sushi chef and specials weekly. Lori and get squad are the best!“

“We love Spring House. The food, drinks and service are consistently top notch. Last night was a step backwards. We were greeted at the table by our server with bread and butter and asking if we wanted more than water to drink. In general the drinks took a while and so did the soup. We waited quite a while for someone to take the empty soup bowls and ask if we wanted a water refill or another drink. The soup bowls were taken when the entrees were served. There was someone nearby who was setting the table next to us but she was only interested a table that was still empty when we left. We remain fans of the restaurant and will be back but clearly not a good moment.“

“What a phenomenal find! The bar (craft cocktails), building, restaurant is gorgeous. Old stone mixed with modern posh amenities. The food is TRUE & authentic Italian- my son closed his eyes at bread course (grilled Roman bread with ricotta & honey for A Scarpetta) and said, “mom this tastes like Italy!” We shared and tasted so many things, antipasto, starters, the salads were fresh, perfect vinaigrettes, the pastas & sauces all legit, homemade from scratch and perfectly Al dente. They dry-age their beef too which is exceptional. For dessert we had tiramisu budino & affogato- a perfect ending. We will be back and would recommend to friends. The staff was great too, just the right amount of attentiveness. It was a joyful & delicious experience at Tresini.“

“Overall, my experience was amazing. I went to celebrate my mother in law's birthday. Folks at the table didn't enjoy their food. Though, I really enjoyed mine. I had the chicken francese meal. It was amazing. I wish I could recall our server's name. She was amazing. We were there on 4/13 and seated upstairs. Even the other tables of guests were great. Just an all around great experience.“

“Update 04-Apr-24: Katrina was our server, plus we got to see Melissa again. Was really great food and the drinks were great too. Easy to get to and great Mexican ambiance! Katrina and Melissa - you guys are the BEST!We go here often. Excellent place to eat and enjoy an adult beverage! Nicole was great the last few visits. Melissa has been awesome, too.Go visit.“

“We enjoyed a wonderful experience for a 40-person Retirement Celebration that was over the top! I want to thank the entire team at Peppers for taking care of the Bancorp Bank Team! Everything went smoothly from the time we made the reservation till the dessert was served. The food and service are always amazing when I go for dinner, and the banquet food was also delicious! Thank you again for the great service and for providing us with a wonderful experience for our boss's retirement party! If you are looking to have a party, please give Peppers a try, you won't be disappointed! Sincerely, P.J. McMahon“

“Stopped here for dinner tonight and enjoyed it! The hot roast beef was very tasty, and so was the rice pudding! My husband and I split an order of chili cheese fries, which were okay. The atmosphere was a little lacking- the place felt old and a little run-down, and everything was served on small plastic plates, which was a little cheesy. That being said, id still go back if I was really craving a roast beef sandwich!“

“Great little neighborhood tappie. Friendly mom-type ladies behind the bar, and a made-to-order rib eye cheese steaks on a lightly toasted Conshohocken Bakery roll that will make you forget that Chubby's and D'Allesandro's are on the same block.“

“I don’t have enough amazing things to say about this place!! Theresa the owner always treats us like family, there’s an incredible rotating drinks list & there is always some local talent on!I am so glad to have a local pub in lansdale. Keep up the amazing work!“

“There's always a different bartender and it seems the more makeup they are wearing the more likely they are to get your order wrong. I ordered a double shot of Jack and a pint of coke and I got a double shot glass with ice and not even filled to the top and my soda had NO ice and it was half the size of a pint. That was a week ago. Two days ago, our food order got stupid screwed up! ...but as long as the bartenders look good, right? Shut up!“

“I loved the crab cake sandwich and garlic parmesan fries. Also had an amazing milkshake. It’s a little expensive though. I love that they have free Narcan, test strips, and menstrual supplies in the bathroom. Staff were all really nice! There’s some bar seating downstairs and ample tables upstairs.“

“I really enjoyed my dinner. The food is delicious and unique. Everything was well prepared and presented. The Chilean Sea Bass is the best I've ever had. The Oreo Peanut Butter Pie is really amazing. The staff is very informed in guiding you through all the menu choices. I love it ❤️“

“I really enjoyed my visit here! I went on a date with a guy and we both really enjoyed our food, service and the atmosphere of this little bar. I got a vodka soda and a hot honey chicken sandwich and it was to die for. Topped with pickled onions, I was in heaven!!? I’ll definitely be back. Thanks Manoa Tavern! “

“We made reservations for.a group of 7. The restaurant got pretty busy quickly for a Thursday night so I would dedinitely recommend reservations. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I had the fried goat cheese and strawberry salad which was delicious. Not heavy and just the right amount of salad. The table bread is also.delicious. I did not get a drink but others did and I believe between their meal and drink they were in the $40 range for dinner.“

“The food was very good and the restaurant was very lively. It's much more of a family oriented restaurant than I realized. I would go back with kids but probably not just with adults. It was very loud so not ideal for quiet conversation. But if you're looking for a lively family friendly restaurant, this would be a great option!“

“My Mom and I came here for the first time last night. Well lived in Ardmore all our life and never been to this restaurant. We will definitely be back. We ordered the special which was Gnochi with sausage and meatballs. It was delicious. The server was really nice and the atmosphere was nice as well. We will definitely be back to try something else.“

“It took far too long to get here, but I was finally able to hit McNally’s Tavern in Chestnut Hill for “The Schmitter”. There were quite a few things on this menu that looked good so don’t be surprised to see a follow up on this at some point, but had to talk about this sandwich and experience specifically.So we went on a Friday night around 7pm (had just landed in Philly at the airport) and the place was packed! We were lucky and a couple was leaving shortly after we told the hostess about our party so we sat fairly quickly. Cool vibe in the place, tin mugs hanging from the ceiling and sports on all the tv’s. Like I said though, crazy packed so it was loud and a bit chaotic.The Schmitter is a pretty odd sandwich honestly given what’s on it. Basically a cheesesteak with onions, tomato’s, salami, and their sauce that is similar to a Big Mac sauce. I’d never have thought to add salami to a cheesesteak, but here we are. The flavor was quite good, it was on a round Kaiser (you can order long roll if you want) which reminded me of donkeys place a bit, and the tomato added a nice freshness as well. The price is what you’d expect, maybe a tad bit more, for the sandwich and it comes with basic ridged chips.My girlfriend also got a chicken cheesesteak that was good but looked awful. They use a broiler/salamander to melt the cheese and it came out looking burnt, but it tasted fine.All in all I enjoyed it and will come back again and get another or sample other items. The Schmitter at McNally’s Tavern - Didn’t Suck!“

“We came here for dinner on a somewhat quiet Saturday evening. Luck was on our side as they had no problem getting us a table for four and we were sat quickly. Service was friendly and the menu was surprisingly deep. Overall, the food did not disappoint.We started with the French Onion soup - it is on point and if you like French Onion, I recommend it. I went with the meatloaf sandwich. It was good, but the BBQ sauce was a bit sweet for my liking. Still a creative and enjoyable sandwich. We also got a poke bowl, which was very fresh. I'd recommend getting the dressing on the side as that could overpower some of the aspects of the bowl, but no other modifications needed.I've heard this place can get busy and is a bit of a dive bar. Given its location, I am sure it can get busy so I would plan ahead if you want to eat. As for dive bar, not sure I'd call it that but if I did it would more bit a complement. I say give Berwyn Tavern a go if you are in the area.“

“I've been in here quite a few times and I've always had a good experience.The food is always good. Serena I think her name is, is a sweet pleasant young lady she was very kind the last time I was in there.The atmosphere is nice especially on a great weather day. Y'all should check out the deck!!!“

“We had a fantastic celebration at Twisted Gingers. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us while also satisfying the rest of their clientele. The pizzas are great. The beer selection is varied and delicious. And we couldn't have been treated better by the bar tenders. ??????????“

“Steamed oysters were worth the price, just not as good as I assumed it would be, but honestly, nothing to complain about. Girlfriend got a southwest salad, which was huge and better then expected. Service was great. Atmosphere was calm and quiet which I like. Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I expected pasta with the oysters and didn't get any. When I mentioned it to the server I was told she didn't know I wanted the entire and that they weren't suppose to serve entires that late which is completely acceptable because it was 10 on a Saturday night BUT it didn't mentioned that on the menu before I ordered and was expecting the pasta to fill me up so I left a bit hungry still. I'd go back and try something else for sure.“

“This is such a great placel! Love their french onion soup! The staff is so friendly and they have a great new outdoor patio. They stopped allowing inside smoking years ago, so if that stopped you from popping in, try this place again. Their boneless wings are delish too!“

“Silence at the table? That's a good sign at Teresa's Cafe! My party of three enjoyed a relaxed and delicious meal. My burger had chewing in silence, while the steak and salad reports were equally rave. This cafe knows comfort food - fresh, flavorful, and silencing conversation in the best way possible. Definitely recommend!“

“We were a party of four. It was our first time dining there and we all loved our food - everything was delicious! Service was absolutely top notch! Our reservations were at 6:15 on a Saturday night and it was packed upon entry.The only downside was the noise level caused conversation to sometimes be problematic.“

“Just went to the Grill. Food was good. Clam chowder very rich as it should be. Asian salad a little heavy on the dressing but good. The Clothes Pin cocktail was ok but not exceptional; the st germain liquor was less evident than I'd hoped for. Coffee was good.Warning. While there is a ramp up to the door, the actual dining room is down a significant wide spiral stairs. There are railings so it us managable by someone with some mobility.Wheelchair accessibility: While there is a ramp up to the door, the actual dining room is down a significant wide spiral stairs.

“This undiscovered, moderately-priced gem of an Italian restaurant on Bethlehem Pike in Flourtown is the real deal. It offers authentic, super-delicious food and an expansive selection—pasta, meat, seafood , vegetarian, you name it. The sauces could have been made by my Italian-born mother-in-law, yep, that good! The pasta was serve perfectly al dente, the claims must have just plucked from the sea! Sebastian our waiter was attentive and friendly. (We were the only patrons on a Thursday night!) Make your reservation ASAP. This place will catch on!“

“Hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner here a couple years back, and recently returned for an anniversary dinner. Everything was as great as our first time, if not even better. The food is delicious, specifically the filet, asiago chicken, and meatloaf, I'm drooling just thinking about them! All 20+ people we initially brought raved about it and the service was tremendous. Not going to get a better meal for your money in the area. Can't wait to go back!“

“The cactus is a phenomenal bar that I have been to many times. Jared and Janey are really on top of things and really make me feel the comfort only a five star bar can give. The food is delectable and comes in good time. The alc isn’t badly priced, and always come with a smile from which ever bar tender serves us. I would recommend this bar for any causal looking for a great atmosphere.“

“Although long, not wide, great place to see a band. Soundboard guy does a GREAT job. Tix cheaper at door than online. Mixed-age crowd usually. Food good, but poboy is really just a fish sandwich. Gouda fries- awesome. Convenient to train station.Parking: Take the train! Wayne Station.“

“I came in on Saint Patrick’s day with my family. We had an extraordinary time there. The portions were very large which is great for hefty eaters or people who simply want to save their food. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the kids Mac and cheese with applesauce (don’t judge) and it was delightful. The applesauce was slightly crunchy, and had cinnamon sprinkled overtop. The Mac and cheese was delicious and cheesy, I could hardly finish it all. I also had a Shirley temple with it, which tasted amazing. It tasted a bit like strawberry syrup mixed with lemonade and sprite. The service was excellent. The waiters and waitresses were so polite, and since I went there on Saint Patrick’s day, the entire staff was dressed in leprechaun outfits. They were very friendly. The atmosphere was very light and positive, with an older style feel. I 100% recommend going here.Vegetarian options: I personally don’t recommend for vegetarians to go here, as most of Phil’s is centered off of meat, but they do have plenty of other options that don’t involve meat.Dietary restrictions: The staff was very accommodating and would definitely be willing to accommodate to dietary restrictions.Parking: The amount of parking space was surprising, since we went in on a crowded day. Yet we were able to park our car comfortably outside with not too much of a walking distance.Kid-friendliness: They were so polite to us kids, we got crayons and they did not judge the awful drawings we made.Wheelchair accessibility: They had no steps there, and the distance between the parking and the building is a very small and flat area of land.“

“A wonderful 5-star lunch experience ! Coming back from a mid-day center city concert, decided to stop in @ Tavern On the Hill rather than MacNally's...SO glad we did ! Bartender Mackenzie couldn't have been better : super-efficient AND super-personable ! I've had many excellent meals here before, lunch and dinners, today was no exception. Straying from our regular menu favorites ( tough to pass on the always great burger or turkey'n' brie sandwich),we both had the same "special"...a smoked kielbasa/ kraut sandwich. Not an item I'd usually rave over, it was just perfect...the best I've ever had. Great kielbasa, nicely toasted roll, homemade-tasting kraut...and even a high-quality tasty brown mustard. You just won't go wrong here... where else would somebody rave about a kielbasa sandwich ??? Can't wait to return for lunch OR dinner...“

“Found this place after all the places we wanted to go were full with long wait times. From the second we walked in, the people were so friendly. The service was excellent!!! We ordered the $20 rib special and couldn’t believe the amount of food we got. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.“

“I've been there twice so far. Each of those times, the food was excellent and well prepared. The staff were all friendly and courteous. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the entire restaurant. It's a shame I don't really drink. Otherwise, I was going to have a drink at their bar. If you go, have a drink for me.“

“What a fantastic spot to watch the Eagles game. Food that we had (cheesesteak eggrolls, wings and tacos) were all fantastic. Probably the best service I've ever had in a bar. Every time one of our group of six drink was even close to empty, they were right on it. Can't wait to go back again for another game!“

“We had a bunch appetizers (potato skins, mozzarella sticks, buffalo wings, cheesesteak egg rolls) and they were all very good. The server was very polite and let us have a big table for our big group split up between the table and bar. We asked them to let us know if they needed to break up our big table and take any of the tables away, and they did, very politely, when it got more crowded. It was a very good experience. I will definitely go there again.“

“First real dive bar I've found on the Main Line. Unapologetic grungy aesthetic. Good, non-fancy food. Cheapish drinks. A (defunct) phone booth. A (I believe defunct) cigarette machine. Dart board. Not-so-fancy TVs for Philly sports. Friendly and chatty staff. Diverse and mostly friendly crowd. Jukebox. Open early, closes late. I could go on, but you should simply go to see for yourself!“

“Me and fiance live right up the street from here and enjoy popping in for drinks from time to time. It's a great lively bar on the weekends and subdued enough to a place to grab a quiet drink and enjoy conversation during the week. Service is always friendly and their beer selection is good enough. Menu is good for snacking and light bites. Solid execution on the food side.“
