“Hosted my bridal shower at Kiddo this past weekend and had a wonderful experience. Wyatt and the team could not have been easier to work with. They were so accommodating and managed everything so well. Everyone loved the food (seasonal, great portions, delicious), the cocktails were amazing, and the space is so cute. Highly recommend for events or even just for weekend brunch.“

“What an unexpected and delightful discovery Andra Hem turned out to be. Though my time there was brief—a stop for a cocktail before dinner—it left a lasting impression. The ambiance is dark, intimate, and richly decorated, exuding an understated elegance. Seated at the bar, I was treated to a custom cocktail crafted with impeccable attention to my preferences by the bartender. The speakeasy vibe added a layer of intrigue that drew me in completely, leaving me eager to return and explore more of what this hidden gem has to offer.“

“Drinks are great! I stopped in with my son,they are doing a special (kids eat free) don’t know how long it last. The staff is friendly and helped me with getting my stroller out. I had the pastrami egg roll along with a salad( can’t remember what’s it called)but it was yummy.“

“Great food- attentive waitstaff.“

“Kind and Handsome server and delicious wine selection!“

“Great food and drinks At happy hour“

“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.“

“Great selection of freshly prepared and innovative food. Would definitely recommend the Mushroom Flatbread to share. Their “Fish & Chips” was delicious and boasted unique flavor combinations. Service is timely, and the ambiance is quiet and relaxing. Would come again if in the area.“

“Some of the best cocktails and mocktails in Philly at a reasonable price point! Happy hour Wednesday - Friday 5pm-7pm with signature $10 cocktails. Menu changes pretty seasonally which is awesome. Staff really knows what they are doing and it’s a great intimate spot. Also all local alcohol which is so cool!“

“1st time there and can’t wait to go back! Great atmosphere, customer service and outstanding food! Loved the variety and unique tacos. Highly recommend. 👍🏻“

“Very nice establishment I discovered it sadly after howl at the moon closed.... for its size it is close corners at times but still great I personally luv the low key lighting for the chandler's and high top tables around to welcome random goers :) last Saturday I came and the bartender made a great old fashion tonight I stuck with a basic drink ? with in 10 -15 second not making it up I was greeted and served ? absolutely worth coming again ?

Kid-friendliness: Friendly bartenders and front door host“

“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.“

“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 ?“

“Having dinner with Leslie Smallwood-Lewis at Treble and Bass. Outstanding food and outstanding service!! Definitely five stars and five thumbsup!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾“

“Not child friendly need more option“

“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 ♥️“

“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.“

“Awesome food and staff always fresh delicious ingredients!“

“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. 🥰🥰“

“This charming hidden gem of a restaurant near the Italian market in South Philly is the perfect date night spot. Very intimate, yet relaxed. There's great variety on the menu for all types of appetites and diners, and they have an impressive robust efficiency in the kitchen that serves up dishes at a great pace and quality. Recently went and tried their tasting menu and my entire service was completed in 90 minutes from the moment I walked in to the close of the bill. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Amazing atmosphere with incredible service and great food! Thank you Bellini!“

“The food was fabulous!! Atmosphere was spot on! Love, love, loved it!!“

“I am giving Tattoed Mom’s all of the stars possible. The vibe is immaculate, food is spectacular, staff are top notch and it’s a super inviting place to hang out. Sunday craft night was amazing as well. Anyone on South St. needs to check out this gem. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“A big thank you to Phil and his amazing staff at Rosemary. Me and my good friend stopped by after attending a viewing of a life long friend. Even though it was close to closing time, everyone was extremely welcoming and the couple pints that we got were exactly what we needed with just the right amount of haze. This local gem of a restaurant is a true treasure here in Ridley Park. Thank you for everything.“

“ecxelente servicio personal muy atento amable y te ayudan a seleccionar buena comida y bebidas 💯 recomendable“

“can't wait to go back hard to describe.. it was unique.. everything we ordered was so elevated.. 5 star service.. best dirty martini I ever had .. this restaurant is a winner.. get the cheese plate dessert“

“Fast, friendly service.. Great food!!“

“Delicious happy hour appetizers and exceptional alcohol free drinks. Relaxing atmosphere outside and sports on the large screens inside.“

“We had a good, not great meal here. For the price (which was considerable) we were definitely expecting a bit more. The cocktails were great and the service great, the food was a bit underwhelming. We went with the tasting menu instead of a la carte and found the dishes good, but not anything particularly special. They were very accommodating with an allergy which was very nice. I'd like to try the bar menu but probably don't need another dining room experience.“

“An amazing meal! So flavorful! Thank you so much!!!“

“We had a great dinner. Highly recommend ordering a bunch of plates and sharing. We loved the lobster mac n cheese (like nothing we have ever had - made with risotto), the Philly cheese steak egg rolls are substantial and delicious, the brussel sprouts just yummy. Also the food came out quickly and the waitstaff are lovely. A tried and true neighborhood favorite.“

“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.“

“one of my favorite restaurants in Philadelphia and beyond. delicious and creative dishes, kind and present service, a thoughtful and complex wine list and beverage program in a very unique space overlooking south philly.

i’ve been here numerous times with different parties and i’ve always had a great experience. it’s also one of the few restaurants I can consistently get in with a last-minute reservation or walk-in while still feeling the place is lively and bumping every time I’m there. it’s a delicate balance and they nail it consistently. chef Michael’s food is excellent, bev director Michael has put together an awesome program and chef Ervis is such a handsome and gentle man who also happens to make great pastas. what a combo.

I love Irwin’s.“

“staff friendly and attentive. please ask for Jason's area. informative for everyone...recommend great eats. job well done ..they didn't lack anything...food hot when served.“

Christina was perfection, knowledge and sweetness all at once! Everyone treated us great! Thank you Christine for all your help! Looking forward to returning w/ the new Mommy & Daddy! Thank you all again. 3 excited grandparents!“

“Music on South St. continues thanks to Katie and Tom from Milkboy South St. You know there is a very easy way to su0porrt Philadelphia venues. Show up“

“Good food and friendly service. Portion sizes are great for teens who love to eat!“

“Stopped in today, first time, for a last minute Mother's Day brunch with my daughter. The cinnamon roll pancakes were phenomenal!! We sat at the bar and our servers were just terrific!! Can't wait to go back!“

“Such amazing and creative food, it was really good and the ambience was lovely outside! Server was so helpful with suggestions and food and drinks were fantastic!“

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

“It’s harder and harder to find a good cocktail for under $20 in a big city. Poison Heart gives you excellent cocktails, great small bites, and an unpretentious environment in spades. Oysters and waffle fries hit. The Songs About Keri is a quaffable, less sweet version of a good margarita. The Goodbye Horses is a nicely acidic, bright redo on a classic Old Fashioned.“

“Absolutely stellar place. It’s vibrant and colorful and the food is perfect. The plantains, chicken tinga tacos, and Cresta guacamole are three knockout dishes but most everything here is going to knock your brain to the back of your skull and have you speaking Spanish by the end of the meal.“

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

“Food was so delicious! Wonderful outside balcony seating! Great service? love this place!“

“Amazing food and staff. We love jasmine. She makes the best drinks and has the best personality. The owners are the nicest people. Food is consistent and one of the best in the city.“

“Good food, great service, charming atmosphere, friendly staff.“
