50 Best Cocktail Bars near Bryn Mawr

“Everything is great! From the bar to the appetizer's To the servers! The food is out of this world!! Highly recommend it!“

“What an interesting place ! I was initially greeted by the ritual greeting of ' let me see if a table is available " . After a slight wait my party of 4 was seated at a booth with a window view. I must admit I was amazed the first time the express train silently flew by. I ordered the Steak and shared the grilled octopus with my husband. The food was excellent, and my server was very pleasant. It was a very cold night however I found the environment very warm and accommodating as our party enjoyed a fabulous bottle of red wine . Our experience overall was quite good and look forward to a Friday happy hour visit !“

“Awesome speakeasy style bar. Small (15ish tables plus bar space) and doesnt take reservations. Got lucky that there was a table open when we walked in as it was the last one. Booth was comfty, mood lighting was romantic, music was a bit odd for the setting (latin-ish vibes) but not distracting. Drinks were great, had the bartenders choice which resulted in a good interesting drink. Lots of liquor options too and snacking food looked solid.“

“A group of us went here last night and we loved our experience! The food was excellent. Entrees - steak frites, burgers - were all great. Everyone enjoyed their appetizers too. Also, a really nice selection of cocktails and wine. The service was very friendly and accommodating. We will be back!“

“What a great happy hour! The bartenders are attentive and personable. The bartender, who was serving us, made a special drink for my wife who wanted something with vodka. He nailed it and she loved it. The Ripp fries are an absolute must if you want a delicious bar snack. We also tried the squash blossom (recommended by the bartender) and it was amazing. Definitely a must go!“

“Had a few drinks here with the lovely bartender Alyssa(sp?!) looking out for me and showing me the good stuff. Of course fancypants mcgee here had to go for the most expensive cocktail on the list, but The Waldorf is absolutely worth it! (Tobacco Road and Bombay Moon were beautiful too don't get me wrong)
Next time I'm in the area I'll try a few of their enormous assortment of whiskey's, I counted like 170ish on the shelves, lord knows what goodies they have in their secret stash... well worth the trip ?“

“This place is so cool! I don’t drink but I think it’s really unique to blend a coffee shop with a whiskey bar. For those like me, they have a ton of coffee options and non alcoholic options that feel unique and special. Great cozy vibes inside too.“

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

“this place slays. I wish they were open more. I would come here every day if I could. but I can’t because they’re not open every day. the bar staff is so friendly. I wish izzy’s was bigger so I could bring everyone I know. But it’s small. the cocktails are delicious. thanks for reading.“

“Came to the neighborhood to look at a rental unit so I popped in here for lunch. Staff was welcoming, drinks were inexpensive, the Angus burger was delicious. Bar tender was super kind and the other patrons we're super sociable. I will be popping back into this place periodically. Hidden gem ♥️“

“Incredible!!! The food, service, drinks and atmosphere….literally the best! It’s great for date nights and groups. There were options for everyone including vegan and vegetarian. I have been for dinner, entertainment and late nights and it’s always a great time. Can’t recommend it enough!! *Photo cred: Great eats by Midtown Social“

“2nd time here & 10/10 love this place will be going again. We had a decent size party and they really killed it. Thank youuu to the wonderful staff. Will be returning. 🥰🥰“

“Very friendly service, very pleasant surroundings. Perfect place to stop and have a light nosh. There’s ciders are quite good, but on the dry side, which I especially appreciate. They also have excellent local wines and white snack snacks. Highly recommend recommended.“

“I had a private party (20 Guests) on a Saturday afternoon. Everything went PERFECT! Olivia Karlin was an amazing host and event organizer! She informed me that I needed to pick three meals and two starters for my menu. I had the room for 2 hours and it was so much fun! Checking out was easy and everything went the way we planned it. Would definitely recommend!!“

“Need to do, if you are I n the Borough! Sorry if I’m repeating myself, but, you need to stop by! Great beverages, good service, casual atmosphere.“

“Food and service were stupendous. We prefer the bar over tables and our server / bartender, Michael, was super attentive, informed and a great conversationalist. In addition they gave my partner a card signed by everyone for her birthday. Besides the service, the food was exceptional! Everything was delicious especially the hashbrown and tuna!“

“TCR conshy is one of the premiere cigar lounges in the area. Others don't have all of the amenities offered here. Excellent drink selection, steady cigar selection with rotating stock, live music on certain nights, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and to top it all off one of the best smoke ventilation systems around!“

“Ive been to Tommy's several times..I Was just there Thursday night. Everytime I go there with my husband, nothing but good vibes, atmosphere..What bar anybody goes to, and the owner is always around..“

“Took my husband here to celebrate his birthday. I started off with the fried green tomato tower, all the different flavors was like a party in my mouth. Next I had the lemon, dill salmon, I'm not a huge fan of asparagus but that was nicely cooked and tasted good. A nice size homade biscuit and jam. My husband had the smoked mac n cheese, the catfish po boy and spinach. The spinach was nicely seasoned and tasted so fresh. This was our first time here and we will definitely be going back.“

“This was my second time here. I went a couple of months ago and I ordered the same type of tacos (cauliflower). The tacos this time were much more flavourful, had more sauce/seasonings. I also had the same margarita and it was also much improved.

I was there with a party of 8. Service was great and one of our party was running late. We weren’t rushed and were asked if we wanted to wait to order food, which I really appreciated.

Our party included meat eaters, vegetarians, and gluten free (celiac, not by choice). There were multiple choices for everyone. Everyone thought their meals were really good - and this is a crowd that frequents Mexican restaurants.

I have celiac disease and can tell within 30 minutes whether or not I got exposed to gluten. The server was very knowledgeable about gluten free options, from drinks to the food. I was assured that what I ordered had no cross contamination and they don’t put other items in the fryer that they use for tortilla chips. I had heard that they had stopped doing this a few months ago from an online review - but seems like they have a dedicated fryer for their chips again. I did not have a reaction!

The rooftop deck is beautiful and just a wonderful atmosphere. The entire restaurant though is thoughtfully decorated and the murals are gorgeous. Also really thrilled about supporting a local who clearly put a lot of thought into opening a restaurant here in East Falls and making it such a wonderful experience.“

“i went to the library bar on a date and it was so beautiful! For those who are NOT Philadelphia natives like myself, The Library Bar is located INSIDE The Rittenhouse Hotel. When looking it up, it says that, but it’s easily overlooked if you’re not paying attention or not familiar with the area.

The atmosphere was intimate, relaxing, and definitely an overall vibe. This is a great place for drinks among friends, a date, or even if you’re wanting a solo date in a place with a great atmosphere🤍✨“

“Bestest personalized service! Highly recommend as a local hometown feel establishment.“

“Streetlight Kitchen & Bar is a great restaurant to go to for dinner. Their smashburger is delicious and seasoned perfectly. Streetlight is a great place to eat with friends and family.The atmosphere is great and the servers are very polite. Would recommend people that love high quality food and great cocktails to go to this restaurant.“

“The venue was almost perfect! It is well appointed, the bathrooms super clean. The set up was great. The bartender was awesome! She was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Friendly and efficient. Good parking, well lighted exterior. I would recommend this place any day of the week.Thanks.“

“A fun event. Good food on sale. Good drink variety on sale. The garden was lovely and tucked under a rail line. Parking wasn't terrible (for Manayunk). The event was well run: lots of give aways, activities and all in a cute location.“

“Party of 10 this AM. Pam was the BEST! Food/service was awesome!!! Thanks Bookers!“

“I made a baby shower at cornerstone this weekend. There are no words to express how easy it was to work with Christine, the owner. She is passionate about providing a culinary experience like no other. The staff is amazing and everyone at the restaurant works hard to provide a top notch experience. The food is beyond words amazing. Soo delicious, fresh made. Highest quality ingredients. Thanks to Christine and the entire staff our day was truly perfect and a memory forever. If you are looking for the perfect spot for a party, or to just get lunch or dinner, don't look any further. This has been the best experience of any party I have ever made, and I've made a lot! Thank you again Christine and staff!“

“I had the Smoke Show pizza and it paired perfectly with the Goats Beard Alpha Acid Trip beer. Our server was excellent!! Highly recommend coming here! We will be back!“

“It was fine, manager was nice enough to serve us while the server was busy. Food was delicious.

Was pleasantly surprised by the meatballs, chicken parm sandwich and pan fried mortadella.

Would prefer other options rather than just fries with the sandwich.

Bathroom needs to be cleaned a little better.“

“The drinks and food were delicious. Busy place with outdoor seating. The waitress was attentive but not overbearing . We made reservations so we didn’t have to wait. I would definitely return.“
