“We are working our way through Manyunk restaurants and Bar Jawn had some excellent reviews. It was much smaller than I expected but the Bourdain signs and country music told me we were in the right place. Cooper Sharp fried cheese squares with fresh sauce were outrageously good. Cheesesteak with Cooper sharp and cherry peppers did Philly proud. Loved the seeded roll too. Definitely will be back. Service was friendly and attentive. A really great Sunday afternoon.“

“My friends and I had an amazing experience at Fabrika! We went for my birthday after hearing great things. The show and performers were spectacular. Very interactive and entertaining. The food and drinks were also delicious, and our server was so accommodating. And at the end, they open the dance floor, which is so fun! 10/10.“

“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“

“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!“

“I highly recommend their OG flight. Their beers are geared toward a traditional English style and they were all either good or genuinely impressive. Their falafel sandwich I had was also delicious. Highly recommend this spot, lots of space for parties and watching games!“

“Just a regular old tavern with good food and brews“

“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.“

“great service and good food“

“Excellent! The barman was exceptional, the receptionist was super warm and welcoming...Even the person that brought some small plates at the bar was nice. The food was good and the drinks were great! Beautiful setting!
Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“Food is great. Good spot for a quick dinner at the bar or taking your time with friends at a table. Haven’t had any cocktails here but the beer selection is solid and the bartenders are friendly and know what they’re doing. Amazing neighborhood spot that I’m glad to see back open after COVID. I only wish I could make it more often!“

“Fun little neighborhood hideaway spot that features a good number of options for drinks alongside plenty of food options.

There are a good number of drafts that rotate fairly frequently, alongside some fun cocktail choices. The food menu isn't big, but have a good number of appetizers and sandwich options and they were all satisfactory during my multiple visits. Staff are friendly and helpful and are usually attentive of everything.“

“Excellent experience 10/10.“

“Whether there’s an event or you’re there to grab drinks. This space is aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. They also have games you can play and typically there’s live music or a DJ. Typically there’s a diverse crowd. This is one of my favorite spots .“

“Food was absolutely amazing! Drinks were great too! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Good people and fun place to enjoy a couple beers, bartenders treat everyone like family.“

“Honestly surprised more people aren't talking about Tataki Ramen! It’s a quiet, humble spot, but the flavor speaks volumes. Easily my favorite ramen in Philly right now.

The chicken broth is amazingly rich and full-bodied—pure flavor, no doctoring up required. Pair that with their incredible gyoza and you've got a top-tier meal. If you love authentic, soul-warming ramen, put this spot on your list immediately“

“If you're looking for a friendly neighborhood bar, this is the place. Food it really good. They have everything from wings salads. Great bar food and good food for those who wanna eat a little lighter. It is not a big place which makes it nice. Kellians is an older establishment that provides the charm that one would expect from a local pub. I just recently returned to Kelliann's and I found the same great service. This a a neighborhood bar with great people that run it. If you find yourself in the Spring Garden area walk in have a drink and try some wings.

I do not receive any kind of compensation or discounts for my reviews. I am just an average customer just like you.“

“We love all of the Pier restaurants! Brain and team work hard at making the atmosphere welcoming and their food is creative and delicious!“

“EVERYTHING was wonderful. A delicious dinner and wonderful dining experience. The wine was served at a perfect temp. Appetizers awesome! Our dinners were amazing. Just when I thought it couldn't have been more perfect out came dessert & cappuccino. Ambiance, cleanliness, attention to detail, friendly & attentive waitstaff made for a great date night. TY Rob Rosato.THE BEST!“

“I’ve been here 3x now and can’t say enough good things. The service is always great, even when it’s packed it’s easy to get drinks. The food is EXCELLENT. The vegetarian options are abundant and SO GOOD. Probably my favorite place that’s come to this neighborhood in ages. The prices are good too!“

“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!“

“Everything was amazing!!! The service was great, our server took her time to accommodate. The food was well seasoned and very delicious. The drinks were flavorful! I had their special and I’m think of returning again really soon. The environment was just so amazing with the improvised jazz music going on in the next room. And a special shoutout for the chef taking the time out of his nonstop cooking and attention to detail of playing to ask us how the food was!!“

“Really like this place. Have been coming for a few months now. They make a good drink and the food is great. Love the chicken quesidillas! The staff is friendly and attentive. The size of the bar is really big, with lots of room for the tables, too.“

“Under rated. Selfishly kinda hope stays that way, so can continue to enjoy a chill bar where can actually have a conversation without yelling over uninspiring music like half the places in the area, but want them to do well - so tell your peeps...the ones you actually like“

“A small, quaint and friendly bar with some great drinks and even better prices. Been here a few times and it's super chill. The bartenders are friendly and the drink deals are off the hook. Visited one Sunday and got a whiskey flight, while my wife had watermelon martini. We enjoyed our drinks in the serene outside area that resembles a scene out of a movie, which they share with a few other local vendors. Nice place to visit when you want a drink without the long wait and noise of a regular neighborhood bar.“

“Best place it was a genius idea to put the game on the house next door don’t bother nobody or raise any red flags or no noise it was a sub genius move. I quoted it sub-genius is mine forever It’s mine forever!!! John burns 11:29pm on june 9th 2026.“

“Awesome!! Never had a bad meal!! Wine was excellent as well…friendly staff ❤️“

“Great place, selection of spirits and the food is outstanding! Check out the bartender Eddie, that's my guy“

“Best bar in Philly. Kyle and the entire staff have been nothing but good to us over the years. Drink specials are great. New taco menu is fantastic. Live music and DJ nights rule!“

“Talk about an oasis ! An absolute hidden gem in the heart of Fishtown. From the moment you walk in, it feels like you’ve been transported to a private oasis tucked away from the city. The atmosphere is beautiful, relaxing, and thoughtfully designed — the perfect place to unwind.

The food and service were both 10/10. Every staff member was friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel special without being overbearing. The pool area is stunning, surrounded by lush greenery and comfortable seating that creates a resort-like vibe right in the middle of Philadelphia.

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing afternoon, great food, or just a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle, this place delivers. I can’t wait to come back!

✨ A true Fishtown oasis. Highly recommend. ✨“

“Dawn and Keith are wonderful providing great service. The brisket tots are amazing! A great place to see live music.“

“Great outdoor area with great food and drinks!! Live music was great too“

“what a great place with delicious drinks and a wonderful tour.“

“A fun, unique experience for quick bite/drink or to sit down and have a full meal at. Sandwich portions were generous - just remember they put the fries in the sandwich (at least for the one I ordered). The mixed drinks were delicious and creative. The menu itself is not large, but enough to cover the basis in terms of vegetarians and some other restrictions.

The atmosphere make this a fun and unique place to be, even though it can be both intimate and loud at same time. I would visit again.“

“Awesome fool and interesting wall art. Gotchu some of that Sunday Brunch. Grab a Mamosa while your at it.“

“This was my second visit to Ripplewood Whiskey & Craft, and my first time experiencing their happy hour—and it did not disappoint. The menu had a great variety, and I enjoyed both the drinks and the pork bao buns.

A standout “happy accident” was ordering the pretzel rolls with truffle butter… absolutely amazing. That alone is worth coming back for.

The bartenders were attentive and provided great service throughout our visit. We also tried the deviled eggs, which were just okay for me—the mustard base was a bit too strong for my taste.

Overall, Ripplewood is a lovely spot with a relaxed vibe and nice outdoor seating in the back. It’s a great place for drinks, small bites, and a chill evening out.“
