“the bartender Rachael is so much fun!“

“Delicious as always. I went yesterday, with a friend and I got to say, your prices have gone through the roof! I mean doubled by $8-$10 per meal. We also got there at 4:30 on a Saturday afternoon, the dead of August, we wanted a hightop table. We were told that they were reserved and That people would be coming in within the next 45 minutes, and they didn’t wanna have to switch us again. By the time we left at 7:30 there were still 2 high tops available/empty. I’ll still be back because it’s a Broadway but those two things definitely bothered us“

“Love ❤️ the drinks are good and bartenders are great 💋“

“fantastic old school neighborhood bar“

“Killer food. Our group had the roast pork sandwich, roast beef sandwich, spaghetti and meatballs and Triangle burger. All were delicious. Such a cool space too!“

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.“

“My husband took me out to Philly for an early Mother’s Day gift. He said we were going to a “speakeasy” type bar in Chinatown but I didn’t believe him. When we got to an iron screen door, he was like this is it and I was like you got to be kidding me. The owner came out, asked my husband if he knew it was a cash bar took our ids then went inside. The owner brought back our ids then took us inside to a foyer where he told us the rules of the bar. Cash only, absolutely, no photography and no phones. If you need to take a phone call, you go back to foyer area or outside to not disturb people. We agreed to rules and went inside. The bar was dimly lit with candles on each table. The decor was amazing with pictures and antiques on the wall. We were sat at a table and given a cocktail menu. The cocktails were unique and separated by whiskey, gin, vodka and rum. If you need a light since it is so dim in the bar, they will bring you a light because they brought one to my husband. There were no beers on the menu so if that is what you’re looking for then this isn’t the place for you. We ordered our cocktails and they were amazing. Since there is no phone usage, you have more of an intimate experience with the person you are with because you aren’t distracted by your phone. We sat and talked while drinking our drinks. The owner came over and asked us about our drinks and how we were doing. We then ordered another round of drinks and continued talking. We enjoyed our time at Hop Sing Laundromat. Service was great, bartenders were great, owner was great, and the ambiance was amazing. This is a great date night spot for anyone who wants to enjoy a intimate setting with a cocktail or two. I would post pictures but again, No Photography so you would have to go in order to see it to believe it. You will enjoy this experience and not be disappointed.“

“Claire was awesome upstairs at the bar!!! Her recommendations were amazing for food and spirits!“

“Dope spot ....food great 👍🏾 nice vibes“

“Seriously, finding seats on a rainy Tuesday was no problem at all, which was awesome. We ended up getting a whole booth to ourselves! The drinks were good, and everyone was super friendly. It felt really welcoming, kind of like a neighborhood hang.“

“Amazing place, delicious food, fun atmosphere and reasonable prices“

“It's my first time eating from this restaurant (I got take out) but I cannot find a single fault from the experience. Keep up the good work!“

“Had the Cheesesteak pizza tavern style which is our go to. We get this quite often and it’s delicious every time. I wish I had a picture but I’ll add next time because I’m sure we’ll have it again shortly“

“I love visiting Philly as frequently as time allows me. If your looking for an amazing little pub with brews from around the world then this place is for you! The mussels are amazing too, with fresh bread. yum!. Great services, good food, great brew! I Highly recommend!“

“great service and good food“

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

“The authentic german food and beer in the heart of Philly! Great service, food and of course beer. See you definitely soon!“

“I just joined Five Iron Fishtown and I love it. The location is great and I love the vibes of the inside. The hours are perfect as I generally go to use the simulators before work in the morning and work on my swing or play a round. I’ve also had a few lessons with Senior Golf Pro Matt Davis and I can already tell my swing has gotten better. With the technology they have and following Matt’s direction I feel like I’ll be performing a lot better once I get on an actual course. Highly recommend.“

“This is the best cocktail bar in the city!!!! Everything is delicious. Please bring back the Pink Street because that is my favorite drink of all time but until then I will continue to order espresso martinis because they are the best in the city!!!!!“

“food and drinks were great“

“Very authentic American cuisine, I really like it.“

“Must stop in for a cold one“

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

“We traveled from Colorado and stumbled upon this place. We definitely lucked out. The atmosphere, the drinks, the people all deserve 5 stars or more. The bar tenders were fun to talk to and we felt right at home. They have great drink recommendations and my husband and I enjoyed the hour we spent just talking and hearing stories. Thank you for the good times“

“a little on the pricier side for hand rolls but super delicious and good quality, makes a good meal for a celebratory dinner or special occasion. must must must eat the miso butter cod, literally ordered like 3 just for me because it's that delicious!! pricey, but good service and great food, must try at least once“

“Una experiencia culinaria deliciosa y única. La cabeza de cerdo estaba de show al igual que el pulpo y los boquerones. La atención fue muy buena y agradable. Gracias a todos y al Chef. Lo recomiendo altamente y regresaré.“

“We had a few different things off the menu and shared. Everything was amazing. All of the ingredients were fresh, the servers had great recommendations, and the service was prompt. We will definitely be back in the warmer months to enjoy the outdoor seating.“

“Hands down the best place in the area before a game, event or anytime. We take our kids and they love it. Do not sleep on the menu, it’s an amazing variety. Service is excellent every time. This is the place we tell all our friends to hit up when we are in the area. 10 out of 10!“

“Friendly staff! Hostess was great as was our server. I only know she had a unique name. Not a large menu but what they do offer is amazing. Great atmosphere too!“

“Love it and it’s eagles central“

“Great bartender, incredible music selection and possibly the best burger in the city. Especially for the dollar it is the best burger. The beer list was absolutely incredible and diverse. Happy hour like everywhere in this town means two dollar off pints. Even on days like St. Patrick’s Day, they still are efficient and friendly at Fountain Porter.

Parking: It’s South Philly. You know what you’re getting into. It’s busy.

Kid-friendliness: Due to the neighborhood, there are kids around during happy hour, and strollers can be common“

“When there are no events, a great place to decompress. Staff are friendly and take care of you. The burgers are banging, the beers are icy breezy and the frozen bacardis are a vacation at home. Stellar staff as always.“

“Been meaning to come here for years and was finally able to. Wife and i enjoyed a few drinks at the bar. Prices were on par with the city norm, service was fast and good, drinks were mixed well and the atmosphere was nice. Not too loud not too quiet. Very good neighborhood bar, we’ll be returning.“

“Food is delicious! Get the watermelon salad, fried chicken and banana cream pie.“

“I really liked it here! Unpretentious and welcoming. Some of the best food I’ve ever had at a bar. The fish and chips were an especially nice surprise. In addition to the food menu, they offer different specials on the blackboard. Have a good selection on draft, plus canned beers and a unique cocktail list. Definitely worth a visit if you’re seeing a show at Union Transfer or PhilaMoca.“

“This is the 3rd time I have been to local 44 for brunch. We ordered the brussel sprouts, west philly breakfast (sub scrambled eggs), brunch burger. Very tasty - loved the fluffy eggs!
Great service from our server and server-in-training!
Will always return for brunch here“

“The service was excellent Gina was amazing. Very attentive, super pleasant and had an amazing spirit!! The food was good and they have pretty good portions. The shareables were a lot for 2 people, so be ready to take food home. Overall great experience The Manager coming out to check on everyone was nice too.“

“My experience at Tataki was overall really good! I came here with three friends and all the starters were a hit! I highly recommend the ube fries they come with a really good special sauce! Service was amazing the manager gave us a free ice-cream highly recommend.“

“Bartenders are great. Excellent beer!“

“Bartender Bobby is great!!“

“This is straight up one of the coolest vibes in black Philadelphia. You get such a diverse crowd of people across the diaspora and the food is amazing. Karaoke night brings out some REAL singers but even if you aren’t good, the crowd is still so supportive and fun. I really love this place.“

“Great people!! Thanks so much Doug for taking care of us and letting us order in amazing cheese steaks you recommended! We will definitely be back my new/old-school nostalgic favorite stop any time I'm out in Philly! Great to meet some new phriends and phamily! Rock on🤘👍❤️💯💥“

“Great place Thanks for having us“

“This is the spot if ya want to hang out with the locals.

$10 cheesesteak specials that will get the job done. Plenty of bargains to be had and staff that can’t be beat.

No frills, good times.“

“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.“

“Graffiti Bar is such a cool little hidden spot! It has that speakeasy-style, tucked-away alley vibe that makes it fun to find and explore. The place is small but well maintained, with a nice, laid-back atmosphere.

The drinks were good, and it’s a great spot to grab a drink, chill, and hang out with friends. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for something a little different and low-key in Philly. 🍹✨“

“I am a regular at Spin Philadelphia. I usually go and have a very good time. I enjoy the food, drinks, and the atmosphere. I recently had a situation where someone asked security to deal with me. I was upset and started acting up because I was being wrongfully accused. Even though my night was going bad, I felt better because of the way I was treated by some staff. The security guy with the bandana and the front desk ping pong player were very nice to me. They heard me out, showed me respect, and were very understanding of the situation. They assured me that I was welcomed back anytime. I really appreciated that. Thank you.“

“I understand why this is a Philly institution… you walk in and feel like you’ve transported back in time! Handwritten menu on the wall with no prices, food being prepared right in front of you.

Finally stopped in for lunch and got a hot beef & cheese (sharp provolone). While I love the modern day sandwich shops with crazy creative combinations, nothing beats a high quality yet simple sandwich like this. Fresh meat, roll, everything about it hit the spot. Added a bag of chips for $1 (sandwich was $15). My friend got the turkey special and loved it as well.

I will absolutely come back in the future whenever I’m craving a roast beef sandwich!“

“Great food and drinks! Always consistently good.“
