“From the the moment I walked in the door I was welcomed from the staff and patrons in minutes greeting me with a nice cold beer and friendly smiles and instant bonding with those who where there it is now the place I go on a weekly basis just a great place to be with people who just want to enjoy their time offScott M Love“
“I just left and I already need more.This place doesn't doesn't just remind you that you love bacon... It It makes you want to love it more.Not to mention, the BBQ. Whoa.The bartenders are friendly and the vibe is right. I'll be back too often.“
“Great food. Best burger I have had HANDS DOWN!!!! Good vibe!!! They have pool here. I believe other bar games. Drink are good. We had the Tiki Tiki cocktail. They have 3 floors I was on the 3rd floor...no elevator but its cool. FYI Don't get too buzzed so u don't miss a step....lol I would go “
“The chicken club wrap was average at best. The chicken was grilled but was dry and flavorless. The ranch dressing that comes in it is only on the lettuce and tomato which is on one side of the wrap and the chicken is on the other. So......unless you have a really huge mouthspan you won't get all the ingredients in 1 bite.The bayou fries were pretty tasty.....only need to get them once to say you've had them. Maybe they would be better after a few drinks.My friend did say his bacon burger was awesome and hit the spot, but he could tell that the pattie was frozen and not fresh. Or it at least didn't taste like a handmade pattie.“
“Had a slice n a cheese steakfood came out fastSlice wasn't heated up n cheese steak very basic roll n meat average n seemed not heated either,most strange bc came out very fasthuge selection of ready pies/slices on display..( Just specify you want Hot food ) if u gobe best to go early in day for slices so not dried up and or order a fresh pie or I'm assuming plain slices get replenished thru out dayPretty lady bartender was friendly and acts as waitress It looked clean n prices average for center city and it's a sports bar too“
“Parking: This is located in Chinatown, so mainly street parking. Be prepared to drive around and look for a spot. There are parking garage around the block because Bar-Ly is located right across from the convention center and diagonal from Reading terminal.This is definitely a to-go place if you and your group would like to find a place to chill or gather to watch a sport game. Not only do they have their own bar, but also have a wide variety of food on their menu! Running from Viet cuisine to sushi to pizza and wings! The vibe is just energetic once you step your foot in, especially during a sport game like the Superbowl! But I would suggest make early reservations during those big game nights. There is also a party room available for guests to book for a party.Food & Drinks: I tried their wings with mango habanero sauce, salmon pizza, and one of their drink with lychee and ginger beer that I can’t recall right off my head. The drink was pretty good. Salmon pizza was wonderful. The wings, on the other hand, I feel are a bit too dry and not enough sauce. Everything else was definitely not bad at all.“
“This was a fantastic experience. The team at 5i was super great, and the bays were a ton of fun! Lots of room to move around as a party. We were able to keep separate tabs. Our waiter Antony was super kind and helpful! I would highly recommend!!“
“I've read plenty of great reviews and I have friends who tell me about the wings.. I have to say that the wings are the best that are out there ! They are twice the size of any other wings that I've eaten.. even if you bought them at the market and made them yourself. Even the blue cheese was thick and tasty.The chicken cheesesteak was good..a little salty but good . In all fairness I'm a beef guy .“
“Food is pretty good, but it's bar food, so nothing truly knocks you out ( cheesesteak is pretty darn good, this being Philly) but the service from the bartenders is always great, almost over the top. Prices on beer and cocktails are reasonable as well. Good place for a quick bite or drink, haven't had a bad experience here yet.“
“There wasn't much room and we were just about to leave, but the waitress Azra immediately accompanied us. We drank Watermelon mint, she did her job quickly and was very friendly. We didn't expect to encounter a Turk. I guess he was the only Turk. Thank you for the nice conversation and the nice drinks. The place was very nice in terms of decoration, there are not many hookah places like this around here. Thanks again to Azra, see you again??“
“I recently stopped in Black Sheep to grab a bite to take home.The bartender was very friendly and very willing to help.The bar was full so I sat off to the side.My beer was very cold which I loved.Food was really good I had a burger and fries.Sadly they were out of tater tots, but overall a great experience.“
“Kelly's Corner has the BEST food and most amazing staff from the kitchen, to management to everyone behind the bar - all great people. Their fresh squeezed Orange Crushes are a must try! Definitely recommend stopping by around the holidays, their Christmas decorations get you in the Spirit.“
“Great smaller venue for meeting up before or after games while in Philly. Food was incredible and surprisingly higher quality pizza too. Service was top too with plenty of staff checking on us. They deserve the five star reviews and quickly becoming a Philly staple.“
“I actually do not usually do restaurant reviews, but was so please with Con Murphy that I felt like I had to share. I feel like there are many restaurants in Philly, and this one deserves more attention. We were day-tripping Philly and enjoy seeking out the local Irish pubs. We were charmed by the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere! It was noisy and small, in a fun and happy way. The TWO bars were well-stocked. We came with the family and everyone was pleased. We started with the Parmesan Truffle French Fries and they were exemplary especially paired with the Aeoli. The blackened Grouper sandwich was "sublime" according to my son who works at a restaurant! My daughter didn't prefer the crust thinness of the flatbread, but enjoyed the potatoe soup. The Irish fare was well done. My son ordered the shepard's pie and my husband and I both ordered the beef stew. I am picky of "Irish Food" bc so many places do not give it the attention it deserves, but everything was prepared beautifully. If you like very rich, decadent broths and hearty, meaty portions, then the stew is for you. The bread it was served with was unbelievably flavorful and had a tender center and crusty exterior. The stew tasted like it had slow-cooked for hours and did not dissapoint. I ordered the "Tullamore Gold" cocktail and it was a tad sweet, but flavorful. I wish I had paired a red wine or whisky with the stew. My husband had a canned apple cider which was tasty.“
“Tuesday trivia night at Tapster is the place to be. The trivia organizers are great. The self service beer machines are super cool and easy to use. Friendly staff. Love that you can bring outside food, but also love that they have popcorn!!“
“We were in town for a concert on Friday night and stayed up on 4th near Arch. We found ourselves walking down to South Street, and did no pre-visit research on where to go. A lot of places are shut down, probably victims of the pandemic. We walked along the street and found Wooly Mammoth, figured it was time to stop. We'd already had dinner, so I can't speak to the menu but stuff being brought out to other patrons at the bar looked good. If you like wings and fries and tots and stuff to go with your beer, you're at the right spot. I'm a fan of craft beer so I like to try the locals. I don't need bud light or sam adams when I'm visiting a city with actual local brewing. We'd been to Yards the day before and I found that the only draught beer they had which I'd never had was Stacy's Mom from Evil Genius. Then I fell back on an old favorite of Magic Hat #9 (classic).We switched to the cider they had (can't recall what it was named) and enjoyed the Islanders vs. Flyers, and the 90s mix the bartender had running on Spotify. Good vibe for us, we're 90s music kids. the vibe felt honest and local, like actual people from this actual neighborhood actually come into this spot. That's always a good sign. Left around midnight to walk back to the hotel. Really good time here at Wooly Mammoth!“
“Fun little dive bar with a huge beer list, ski ball, and pool. I usually come for the food though. They have a built in food truck. The vibes here are super fun and they always have some form of a sports game on too.Vegetarian options: The pesto grilled cheese is to die for!Wheelchair accessibility: No steps, and a handicap accessible bathroom“
“Comfortable local pub with attentive friendly wait staff.Great menu selections for everyone, including vegetarian choices.My husband meets his son for lunch every week, I joined them this past Friday, and I can see why they both rave about the service and food.Vegetarian options: Veggie Quasadias, and a variety of fresh made salads.Parking: 25-30Kid-friendliness: At lunch, it was very low key, with plenty of customers.Wheelchair accessibility: One floor, easy access.“
“What an amazing little place in the middle of the neighborhood.The food was great, the bartenders were attentive, the clientele was respectful. A mixed crowd of families, singles and couples scattered the place on a Sunday afternoon.Drinks and food were well priced too.You should go here!“
“The food was great but more than that the environment created from my server Chrissy was fantastic, her inviting smile immediately set the tone for the level of service my group and I were going to receive. She was not only attentive but more importantly made us feel like valued customers and created a welcoming atmosphere like we had all been friends for years. I will definitely be returning and am hopeful I can get Chrissy or somebody as excellent as her the next time.“
“Honestly this is a lil hood bar that you have have a good time in. It's across the st from the police station so i feel safe. Some of the bartenders are nice and there is one who is a mean thing omg. Anyway this day my shrimp was gross the beading beneath the fried part was not good. But baby the fried Buffalo chicken wings (fried hard) never fails. The lady in the kitchen knows what's she's doing when it comes to that and they even let you get all flats. Also i love that they have the bar game stillOn the bar one of the last bars who still has the games.“
“NEVER had anything bad from Nitty's. Pizza is phenomenal, Pizzaz fiercely rivals, no I lied, outright beats & corners the market against the usual Pizzaz contenders of South Philly. Owner/operator Frank is a stand-up neighborhood guy who always greets you with a smile and is happy to see you as if no time has passed by since you've last seen each other. I've yet to dine in, so can't comment on the staff other than they're mostly female & very easy on the eyes, lol.Parking: It's street parking at 18th n Moyamensing so there are so many factors regarding parking. But if you're a South Philly native you already know what it's hittin for. But all in all parking shouldn't be an issue. At most you may have to walk a block or 2.Wheelchair accessibility: None that I saw“
“Got there after a tour of the penitentiary across the street, for a quick drink before dinner. We sat at the bar. Service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere was good, considering it was a monday at 5! We were a bit hungry and ordered the sprouts from the happy hour menu, and they were warm, tasty and very well seasoned. Great small selection of draft beers, cocktails and hard liquor. Didnt try the mains but seemed good too.“
“If a dictionary had pictures and you looked up bar, it would be this. What that means, the prices are good, the service was friendly and accomodating, food is middle of the road, atmosphere is non-existent except for the quality of the people around who were all very nice. Oh and perhaps most importantly, there is a pool table ??“
“Last Saturday was my first time there seem like a cool place I didn't actually go in we're on the balcony the whole time but we got their kind of late so maybe next time we'll see the local band sounded okay from food was good... a lot of drunk people “
“This place is a place that is guaranteed a great time . Friendly staff and hard working. The entertainment is always going on with some great music and the Dj is always getting the crowd in the mood and up on the dance floor. Saturdays at 6 there is bingo. Always booked to the max and if possible I would recommend reserving a spot at the bar or reserving a table. Always a great and interesting night of bingo with fun people and big jackpots. Try it out! After bingo it's dj the. Football and food is another thing going on. Good bar food and beyond. Always and any dish off the menu is tasty and satisfying. Nice size portions and never disappointed . One place where staff customers entertainement and kitchen all get five stars. Don't pass it up, next time your around flashback townè, com on inn and u will be happy u did. Stay and see how it will be.“
“Treat yourself to this place, it's a mixed crowd with young and old alike. The best thing about this place is the food and the Margerita towers. The service can be slow at times but well worth the wait. I can't stress enough how good the sautéed spinach is, and I never even liked spinach. The salmon egg rolls are to die for and just wow. Go here and enjoy, the food the food the food. And did I say the food ????“
“We held a surprise 60th bday party for our husbands (June 2023). The owner and event planner (Maureen) couldn’t have done more to accommodate us. They bent over backwards to make it a relaxed time. Their hospitality and decor was top notch. ??“
“Was here for dinner last night. Our very nice server recommended the Caesar salad w/hanger steak and it was excellent. The Guinness was poured perfectly. My friend enjoyed his French Dip sandwich and he is not easily pleased. There are ample TVs to watch the games and there was a full crowd of patrons and a good vibe.“
“We continued our Christmas-themed Tuesday afternoon bar crawl at Finn McCool's Ale House in downtown Philadelphia. The Christmas theme and decorations were excellent, but the drinks were rather pricy, and they didn't serve any food. Make sure you stop in for some great pictures and maybe a boozy hot chocolate, and you can keep the mug, but move on quickly to Philly's other Christmas-themed bars!“
“Stopped in for brunch prior to volunteering at the Mardi Gras parade 2/25/18 and had an amazing everything omelet with tator tots! The mimosa (aside from the company of a fun group) was a great way to start the day and the service was awesome! I will be recommending U.S. Hotel Bar and Grill to friends and as the Owner/Travel Consultant of All Places Traveled, LLC, I will also be highly recommending U.S. Hotel Bar and Grill to my client's traveling to Philadelphia!“
“Let me dish out the deets on the Hollywood Diner – where the glitz of Tinseltown meets the comfort of classic diner grub.Now, hold onto your hats, folks, 'cause this place is no ordinary joint. It's a swanky oasis in a sea of mundane eateries, with vibes that scream retro-chic meets Hollywood glamour. From the neon lights to the jukebox tunes, every corner oozes with old-school charm.And let me tell you about the squad holding down the fort – the staff? They're the real MVPs. Friendly, attentive, and always ready to serve up a smile alongside your order.Now, onto the main event – the grub. This ain't your grandma's diner fare, folks. This is haute cuisine disguised as classic comfort food. Sure, it might not be your bargain basement breakfast joint, but let me tell ya, every penny is worth it for the quality you're getting.Let's talk breakfast – I went for the classic eggs Benedict, and oh boy, was it a game-changer. Picture this: perfectly poached eggs, velvety hollandaise sauce that'll make you wanna do a happy dance, and ham slices so thick, you'll think you've hit the jackpot. None of that measly paper-thin stuff here – we're talking proper, hearty slices that'll have you singing praises.So, if you're in the mood for a dining experience that's as unique as it is delicious, head on down to Hollywood Diner. Trust me, folks, you won't be disappointed. It's a taste of old-school glamour with a side of culinary excellence – what more could you ask for?“
“Good vibe!Food is Great but you have to wait to long for it. Security is on point and helpful Management is polite and friendly and The bartender Daunisha is the Truth ( courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, and always smiling). Great Atmosphere even though it’s under a bridge.Parking: No matter where you park in parking lot you are In close proximity of entrance.“
“This place is amazing. I lived in Philadelphia for a few years and would come here fairly regularly. I’ve never had an issue with staff. They’re all very professional, respectful, and kind including the security guards. The owner, Kyle, is such a breath of fresh air. I had an issue at a bar in center city and I remember saying, “Kyle would never!” and walking out. He genuinely cares about his guests which would explain why he hires such professional staff. The food’s really good and I’d never encourage anyone to drink but they do make really good drinks too. They have karaoke on Wednesdays and happy hour’s at the perfect time (6-9). 10/10 would highly recommend. It is more of a college bar so keep that in mind but they welcome all with open arms.“
“Cap'N Cats was a Favorite of our family, especially my Dad and mines, when I was a kid in the 70s. I hadn't been there in years. So, on My Dad's birthday I brought my Mom there for Clams on the Half shell, and a Fried Oyster platter. The platters were large in portion. So much so, we had platters for the next day. }“

“My husband and I went to the Havertown location and were very pleased.. The food was delicious, the restaurant was very clean, and the service was amazing. We had a waitress by the name of Dee Dee. She was so good that I asked to see the manager to let him know how great she was. He was very nice as well. We will certainly go back!“
“Been here a few times and for a small neighborhood bar, it's really nice inside. People seem more friendly towards one another and the barmaids are really nice! They need a larger space downstairs because you always feel like someone is touching you, when ur walking thru.. food is very good here!!!“
“Small South Philadelphia bar that wouldn't feel out of place for a movie set. It's a great mix of patrons from various age groups and the drinks are reasonably priced. Weekends will have a DJ playing a variety of music. No food but they have no issue with bringing food in from the pizza place across the street. Parking is a bit difficult to navigate but it is worth the time to make a stop in after a game or before a concert.“
“I really like this place. Food is excellent (specifically if you love ENORMOUS burgers), beer is good, and the people are really nice. I've had an order or two messed up a little, but no real harm done and the staff was always super nice and apologetic about it. CJ and Ecks is a big go to for me when I'm in the area. Wish I had gone more when I still lived in the areaParking: It's Manayunk/Roxborough, the parking sucks. It doesn't suck more or less than the rest of the Yunk or anything. Parking in this area just sucks in general.“
“I've been coming here since before it became The Station. Once the Station opened, it captured my heart. It's fun and diverse. The staff is helpful, kind and friendly. Drinks are properly mixed and made with love; you can literally taste the passion of mixology from the bartenders! The whole establishment is up to date on cleanliness. My favorite part of Station is if you're a single woman drinking alone, you feel safe!!! I've gone during my sober years and during my boozer years; it's fun regardless! I can't stress enough that as a petite woman, I've never felt uncomfortable here no matter how intoxicated I get. This is a safe bar for everyone!“
“Castle Roxx is my go to stop. Every time I come I have a great experience. All of the bar tenders always are amazing and work so hard to make my experience the best in Manayunk. Eric and Vinny are two of my favorite bar tenders. They make even the slowest nights the most fun. I normally come during the week, as opposed to the weekends, and I never regret it.“
“We were at Haggerty's for a dart match. (Great team.. made us feel welcome) We didn't order food, but the dart ladies were served steamtable hotdogs. But saw what could be ordered.. looked good! Bartender did a good job keeping us lubricated.“
“Visited Philly from Detroit to enjoy the local bars and non-tourist neighborhoods. The Green Room was exactly what we were looking for. Clean inside, great conversation from the locals,,, and Cassidy may be the best bartender in Philly… she was exactly what a bartender should be, engaging, kind and entertaining. The rest of the staff was awesome too! Will be coming back for sure“
“Great place but they don't let me drink here anymore cause last time I was here I drank away all my money and resorted to licking the last few drops from people's empty mugs after they left. Bartender said I was the 2nd worst Alcoholic they've ever seen there.“
“The Taylor Cardiac Arrest was absolutely DELICIOUS!!!! I really wanted another one the next day. ? IEveryone was super nice.We arrived right before a shift change and it seemed to have taken forever. Unfortunately, we had to order our food after the shift change and I was very hungry.The only complaint was that there wasn't enough fries with the Cardiac Arrest. I'll be back whenever I'm in town again.“
“We stopped in for a quick bite and drink at Fireside Tavern. It felt like a local bar but had very welcoming staff that greeted us as soon as we entered. For the table, we ordered crabby fries, mozzarella sticks, and buffalo wings. The chef even came out to make sure there were no adjustments prior to firing up the food. Everything tasted pretty good. The wings were fried well and the mozzarella sticks were massive. If I knew the crabby fries were only just a regular order of fries with Old Bay I may have gone a different direction but the rest of the group didn’t mind them.Two things to be aware of are that they are cash only, but do have an ATM in the bar. There also was a pretty strong smell of smoke in the bar in case you are sensitive to that.“
“Me and my daughter went to dinner and we were sat immediately. We ordered mozzarella sticks as a starter! My daughter loved them! Then we ordered our wings (MANGO HABANERO) & (BBQ) 10/10!!!!!!!Everything came out in all perfect timing!I had a great conversation with Kim who served us. She has such a sharp memory!The new restaurant is such a great atmosphere! I loved the lighting!“
“The place was packed for the Phillys game and they had great music. Fry combo was the best paired with a blue moon. Kids got a cheese steaks, pizza and wings we also got a cutlet sandwich all the food was really food I got a patty melt burger it was not my favorite. I would not get it again. No complaints about the other food. The server was sweet and food was made to order so it came out as it was done.“
“I had the scallops which were perfect with potatoes and green beans which were delicious but my potatoes were not warm. Had a side Caesar which looked like a large Caesar dressing and lettuce were fresh and cold. I haven’t had dinner in there in a long time but I remembered it was always good used to go for all u can eat spaghetti and clams or mussels a must try hidden gem to enjoy a nice dinner“
