39 Best Beer Bars near Clifton Heights

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

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

“insanely thoughtful bar food in a dim and intimate dining area tucked behind a neighborhood bar. the kid's cheeseburger paired a supremely peppery 4oz beef patty with a soft potato bun and the platinum standard for American cheese, Cooper Sharp. the lime gimlet was fresh, limpid, and married the premium gin with mint and citrus flavors. the preserved citrus slice drifted elegantly in a coupe glass.“

“Alice is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why dining out can be an art form. As a visitor to Philadelphia, the meal felt less like dinner and more like an invitation into a creative conversation between the kitchen, the ingredients, and the season itself.
What impressed me most was the restaurant's confidence. The menu is ambitious and inventive, yet never feels experimental for the sake of novelty. Each dish was thoughtful, balanced, and deeply satisfying, allowing exceptional ingredients to shine while still delivering moments of surprise. There is a clear point of view behind the food, but it is expressed with restraint and precision rather than excess.
In a city celebrated for its dining scene, it takes something special to stand out. Alice manages to do exactly that. Every course felt intentional, revealing a kitchen that is both imaginative and disciplined. There was always something unexpected to discover, which made the experience feel exciting from beginning to end.
The atmosphere complements the food perfectly—warm, welcoming, and intimate enough to encourage lingering over each course. It is rare to find a restaurant that feels both elevated and approachable, where serious culinary talent is matched by genuine hospitality.
Philadelphia is known for outstanding food, and Alice has distinguished itself as one of the most memorable and rewarding dining experiences I enjoyed during my visit. Long after returning home, I still find myself thinking about specific dishes, flavors, and moments from the evening—a testament to how thoughtfully every aspect of the experience is crafted.
For anyone visiting Philadelphia in search of a truly exceptional meal, Alice deserves a place at the very top of the list.“

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

“Stopped in for a coffee and breakfast on a whim. Got the Iced Banana Brown Sugar Latte and a Plain Bagel Breakfast Sandwich. Coffee was delightful. I enjoy an odd coffee flavor and this one didn't disappoint. The sandwich was good, I wish there was an option for something other than a bagel but I don't expect every business to offer the same things. I did not go to browse the game library but I'm sure it was grand. I had a book to read while I waited and though the music selection was fun the volume was a little loud. I had a good experience overall and I am glad I decided to come here“

“Really loved this place. Superb friendly welcome and a very warm and relaxed vibe. Interesting range of beers with some mixed fermentation beers - you can see their barrel room in the back. Food looked tasty too. Very close to Snyder metro. Recommended“

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

“great service and good food“

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

“Had a rare date night tonight with my husband (we have a 3 year old at home) and everything was great from beginning to end! Our server Jess P was great! We could not have been happier with the decision to dine at Rosemary! Can’t wait to head back again!“

“Delicious food, beautiful scenery, very friendly staff.“

“Often it is the less fancy places tucked away in the corner, away from tourist hotspots, which serve the best food and this place was one of them. They serve one of the best Philly cheese streaks that I ever had and the portion was HUGE for a very reasonable price.“

“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!“

“Absolutely amazing food!!! I recommend this place! Stop in and see what they have!“

“Wonderful Valentine’s dinner!“

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

“We had our Dad’s 70th birthday party in the room downstairs last weekend, and everything worked out so well! Kristina was wonderful with answering all of my questions (I had a LOT, lol), and the party went off without a hitch! They even managed to put a slideshow of pictures up on one of the TV’s for everyone to view, which I very much appreciated. The food was great, the room was clean and comfortable, and Shannon, our bartender, was amazing! Highly recommend booking the space if you’re looking to hold a party!“

“First time visiting this location and Greg behind the bar was simply amazing. Warm and welcoming very knowledgeable and created a great experience! Employees creat an experience that make even the best beers just taste that much better! Thanks for the good convos and cold beers🍻🍻“

“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.“

“Great place. Really nice staff. Lots of space. All the best beer. Best spot in Springfield (Delco) to grab a drink with friends.“

“Awesome selection of beer, found all the beer I was looking for..

Appreciate the beer advocate ratings being included in the refrigerator, I'd come with a list in my head, but this would make it easy to pop in and try something new.

Will be back!“

“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!!“

“Great folks glad to support“

“The only reason I have one star on food was because when I got thAre the food wasn't open. I asked the staff and they made it sound like food guy was away for the weekend. I went across the street to grab a cheesesteak for dinner than came back..I had another great time thare watching the Phillies baseball game but when it became later In the night the food stand did open up. Please keep staff up to date on food stand service schedule.“

“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.“

“Thank you to everyone at Cosmic Cafe for great food at fair prices and ALWAYS a warm welcome. A special thank you to Adam for going out of his way to greet my son today.“

“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. 😊😄😋💕💕“

“Great food, great drinks, easy-going atmosphere. Perfect spot for dinner before a show.“

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

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

“This is a really nice place. It's a trendy youngish crowd. It has a large bar on the first floor and a pool table on the second floor. The music is awesome and the vibe is friendly and relaxed. A friend of mine recommended it last evening so we came over and loved it immediately. We returned again tonight. It's a great Bar in the Center City area. It's a perfect place to bring your date. It's safe and clean. I highly recommend this bar.“

“I live right down the street but I'm trying them for the first time tonight and I got a half pound of muscles and a half pound of crayfish House special seasoning hot I also ordered a catfish Po Boy and my honest appraisal this place is very authentic and absolutely delicious affordable unlike some other unnamed Cajun places and they give you a hell of a bang for your buck👌👌👌💥💥“

“I attended a recreational employee dinner hosted by my boss to lift morale. Most of us never heard of this bar/restaurant. I was intrigued since our company is a high end restaurant in Chestnut Hill. If the owner and former head chef picked it, it must be good, right? HELLZ YEAH!!!!!! The drinks were potent and yummy. The mac & cheese with brisket was sublime!!!!! The grand entrance of the 6ft (?) cheesesteak with fresh cut sweet potato waffle fries were spectacular. SPARKLERS!!!!! The garlic parmesan wings were super. The nachos were on point, light & crips, not stale or greasy. My ONLY disappointment which was shared with another friend at the party were the baby back ribs. We loved the sauce- just right, not too spicy/hot with tangy gooey yummyliciousness. However the ribs themselves were MOSTLY BONE. It was basically use licking the sauce and the few bits of meat off the top. It was hard to even find any separation to cut it to get the meat in between. I wish they offered SPARE RIBS which usually have more tender, juicy meat on the bone. Cause I LOOKED at the menu before ordering the baby backs. Hell, they coulda just put BBQ sauce on the brisket and I would have had a foodgasm. Maybe I'll do that next time on my own. That said, I will definitely go there again but I will never order the ribs. There are so many other perfect food offerings to keep me happy that I ain't mad, LOL. Also, the TVs provided viewer ankles for everyone regardless of where they sat. And the bar stools were COMFORTABLE too. Our waitress was attentive and professional but not aloof. The bartenders helped us out too with friendly responses. I apologize because I forget their names. After all, I was so snookered from the booze, I am happy that I still remembered to give this review. It's 3 days later and I am still thinking about the dinner. Give it a try! Many of us took SEPTA, its easy to get to from bus, subway, regional rail and cost less to PARK in Center City. That said, SEPTA getting ready to go on strike so...... don't care how you get to Tradesman, just TRY IT OUT!!!!!!!!!“
