38 Best Gastropubs near Bryn Mawr

“Buck a schuck oysters, double braised short rib over rigatoni, key lime pie and even got a hug from the beautiful Solidea D! Everything was exquisite. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Great for a Sunday afternoon hang.“

“Amazing food and service. Not a bad place to catch a game.“

“At first glance, this place looks to be another dive bar. However, we were surprised! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. There is a lot of seating either at tables or at the bar area. They do karaoke (but not every night) and trivia tuesdays! We participated in the trivia and it was very fun, especially with the others at the bar. We ordered chips and salsa which were yummy. However, I highly recommend the Philly cheesesteak. It was amazing! They are also HUGE. The portions are really good and you can take the rest home for leftovers. The drinks were also delicious and they had a seasonal alcoholic drink menu which was cool to see. Overall, we highly recommend and would be back here!“

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

“I didn't think I liked sardines but had the sardine slider and it was delicious“

“Great Burger- great bartenders- super service. And the manager...❤️😬🎯“

“First time at the Ale House and we were really happy we went! Great bartenders/waitstaff, delicious portions of Fish & Chips and Roast Beef Sandwich w/ skinny fries, sadly we didn't save room for dessert. Definitely a sports bar vibe w/ 8 big screen TVs in the bar area. Did not get a look at the dining room but it seems to be a good size.
Will absolutely be back!“

“We’ve been coming to the original Brick & Brew in Havertown since before the other locations even existed, and it still holds a special place in our hearts. It was our very first introduction to a gastropub several years ago—and after that first visit, we never looked back.

What keeps us coming back week after week is their ever-changing menu. They’re constantly coming up with new dishes, and they’ve never disappointed us. The creativity in the kitchen is incredible, and somehow they manage to balance bold flavors with perfect execution every single time.

Their award-winning whiskey sour deserves all the praise—it’s seriously one of the best cocktails we’ve ever had. Whether you’re going for a drink or a full meal, the food and the service are consistently top-notch. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do.

Brick & Brew isn’t just a place to eat—it’s an experience. Amazing food, outstanding drinks, and great people. Havertown’s original location will always be our favorite.“

“Love having supper here with my mom! The staff is great, too!“

“I ordered lunch for my family, for take out. One item was loaded potato puffs. They came with a very small drizzle of sour cream and a few small pieces of bacon. most were dry and plain. Very frustrating as this was my husbands only food he ordered and will be eating 😔“

“Great atmosphere, staff, and amazing food !!“

“I was there celebrating my brother’s birthday and they accommodated our family quite well with a large group setting by a window! Lovely waitress who was quick and very attentive to everything we needed. I would definitely recommend it to any visiting Mt. Airy. 😊😄😋💕💕“

“We had snack wings and adult beverages. Atmosphere was conducive to college football.“

“We just love our new family restaurant! We get treated like family everytime we go!!!! The atmosphere is so cozy and the staff is exceptional. And let's talk about the food - it's absolutely to die for! The portions during happy hour are perfect and the prices are so reasonable.

But the best part? Let me introduce you to DAVID! He's the star of the show - always attentive, funny, and he makes drinks like a true master! Whenever I go, I insist on being seated with David.

They made our anniversary so special and they truly care about their guests' experience. We feel so lucky to have this gem in the neighborhood. I'd travel far and wide for this level of excellence!

Oh, and I can't forget to mention my favorites: The Good Good Things drink, the Buffalo wings during happy hour, and the amazing cheesesteak! And my kids absolutely love the huge, deep dish, extra cheesy pizza.

We're off to our reservation with David - can't wait! If you go, make sure to say hi to him and tell him Mink sent you!

Almost forgot the fresh house made potato chips!!!! So so so good!!! Don't skip them!

Kid-friendliness: Always awesome and patient with my kids!“

“The place to be when it’s the place to be! #BeHappy🤣🙏🏾“

“Amazing staff! so welcoming and helpful!“

“This place is great! A wonderful place to let your dog socialize, as well as yourself. And if you don’t have a dog , come for the food, it’s all very delicious! 5 Stars“

“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.“

“Not many Korean places in Philadelphia alone and the bulgogi tasted beautifully. The perfect traditional marination.“

“I really love this place! It was my first time going. The host and server(s) were so very attentive and accommodating. The vibe was a cute little neighborhood pub, which was amazing. Even better was the friendliness amongst the employees, which stuck out to me because I really appreciate that! The food was pretty good as well!“

“today is April 17 th. My two friends and I had lunch here. Autumn was our waitress. The prime rib sandwich was FANTASTIC!!! Our friend also had the roast beef sandwich and she loved it too. Autumn was a great waitress. Patience of a saint. it was my first time there and Kudos to the owner who came out to our table. Ruthanne Coopersmith ( grew up in Ambler )“

“Plenty of views of the Phillies game not a bad seat in the house“

“Great atmosphere great food“

“Awesome sandwich and traditional food 😎“

“Tremendous place and people!!!“

“We found this gem of a place by accident. Walking near our Airbnb while on a trip down from Canada to see our Flyers play. This is a local bar/restaurant but we were welcomed in and had a great time. Super friendly staff, service was fantastic. It was a great place to hangout. We will 100% add this place to our favourites and return when we are back down again for a game. We came mostly for drinks but one guy had their wings and said they were excellent.“

“The waffles with fresh homemade whipped cream, maple syrup and fresh, in-season berries at brunch 🤤. Had the fried catfish sandwich 9 months ago and I still talk about how freaking good it was. Also appreciate the nod to local Roxborough history on the menu ❤️“

“Great food and drinks! Always consistently good.“

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

“Biggest beer collection I’ve ever seen.“

“A must-visit anytime we’re in West Philly. Or U City. Truly a timeless gem!“

“Toska (Töska?) is a laid-back two-storey restaurant in what I would say is the main drag (or village center) of Mount Airy. The décor is simple, spare, and there are attractive blown-glass-looking accents strung on cables. The server was quite friendly, which in Philadelphia is not a given. We ordered eggplant parmesan sitting atop fettuccine in the requisite marinara sauce, which my husband liked a great deal, and a Wagyu burger on brioche, which was surprisingly good: the bacon was done exactly right, not sliced too thickly, and the burger was medium-rare as I had asked. French fries are decent, certainly abundant, but they're a little flaccid (they are, however, "real" fries, not the heated-up deep-freeze variety we see so often). A salad with cucumber and fennel and small tomatoes was perfect, as was the burrata on a bed of arugula with slightly roasted small tomatoes and a vinaigrette. I like a slightly more room-temperature burrata and one that is a bit less firm, but this one was fine. The ambience is good, except that the much-touted wood-burning oven perfumes the entire restaurant a little more than it should. Also, it would be good to have sparkling bottled water on the menu.“

“Wonderful, friendly Irish Pub. Ray the bartender is so amazing! Knows my name and makes a great orange Jameson and cranberry. We will be back!.“

“I enjoyed my meal at Station Tap I ordered the crabcake sliders and they were very good and they came with fries. There was just the right ratio of fries to sliders too. I will be going here again to try their other items on the menu.“

“The CHK Caprese salad is the ONLY salad I will admit to eating on a regular basis. Banging with fresh mozzarella, it has never disappointed me..... unlike the mother-bleepin' New York Yankees!!!!!

I know Philly fans had their baseball hearts broke last year and I won't get any condolence hugs, but for the Stripes to play little league defense and give up FIVE UNEARNED in the top of the 5th in an elimination game.

I suppose misery loves company, so THANKS CAVANNAUGHS!

Great joint all around!“

“Great place and great pizza!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
