“Food is great! Great service! The new owner Dan cares about his customers and staff!“

“Killer cocktails! We will be back!“

“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“

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

“The pizza was phenomenal!!!.“

“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.“

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

“Nice little spot, with nice energy. It can be a little tight inside, but given the shape of the building, it's to be expected. Though some people say the portions are small, I felt they were adequate and not dissimilar to say Bastia. I'm not a huge oyster person, but the recommendations were very good, especially paired with the zhug. Everyone we interacted with was lovely, but we were especially appreciative of Jordan, who gave us the majority of our recommendations.

We ate:
- psychedelicate
- stony shore
- bad boys
- broccolini caesar
- yellowtail pastrami
- crispy butterflied trout
- baby back ribs“

“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!“

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

“Stopped by Yards because they had a parking lot. That was honestly our selling point. I'm glad we did.

Kelly was our server and she was absolutely amazing. She walked us through the menus, letting us know what was her favorites and what was the favorites of the regulars.

We had the wing phlight and the eggrolls. They were honestly better than I expected. The Sriracha ketchup was divine. The portions were huge. I enjoyed the bowl of chili and the cornbread.

I have no complaints and would definitely come back.“

“great service and good food“

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent experience 10/10.“

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

“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!“

“Me and my wife stopped by for the famous wings with house made sauce, It was super packed, only reason for giving a four star for service was because you had to go to the bar to get a menu and ask for service.

But with understanding they were very packed. The wings were very good and I would make a trip back for sure.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Such a friendly local Pub and beers are delicious!“

“This is our new favorite spot to grab a cocktail. They have a wonderful selection of craft cocktails, mead, beer, and wine. Bartenders are very friendly and always happy to recommend a good selection if you aren’t sure. The atmosphere has a great vibe and I always love the music selections on their playlists. Jenkintown has a few nice BYOB restaurants so this is a great place to stop for drink beforehand or nightcap afterwards. It really rounds out the evening!“

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

“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!“

“My wife and I recently celebrated our 10 year anniversary with dinner at Caletta. Everything was A1 and top notch, especially the food (including bevs), hospitality, and service. Cozette (our server who's name I may have spelled wrong) and Jimmy (at the bar) were great. We will definitely be back!“

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

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

“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.“

“Stopped here this past weekend and got some of the most delicious sandwiches! Started with the Tuna Tartare which was phenomenal and each had a sandwich for dinner. The vodka parm sandwich and the french dip were delicious and the sesame rolls tasted so fresh. Would recommend to anyone in the area!“

“I visited Port Richmond Pub in Philadelphia and thought it was a classic neighborhood bar with a welcoming, friendly vibe. Locals and newcomers alike stop in for cold beers, cocktails, and a relaxed atmosphere that feels like a real hometown spot.

The drink selection is solid, with a mix of domestic and craft beers plus spirits that pair well with tasty pub food — people especially like the cheesesteaks and cutlets when they’re there. The staff are known for being friendly and attentive, which makes it easy to settle in and enjoy the place for a few hours.

Port Richmond Pub also hosts fun events like bingo nights, which adds a lively, community feel to the experience. It’s the kind of bar where you can grab a drink, eat well, and chat with locals — great for a casual night out.“

“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.“

“Great beer and ambiance at the Fishtown location! The management and staff were so friendly and made us feel welcome! We’ll definitely go back the next time we are in Philadelphia!“

“Cozy neighborhoods bat great staff. always going the extra mile for their customer's. rated mid level where the delight app could take them“

“Cheesesteak tots were so good. Woke up in the middle of the night thinking about them“

“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 .“

“I'll admit it's hard to see everything in my pictures because of the dark ambiance of the place, so apologies about that. But when there, this place has a presence legit to the intent. Super metal, but it goes more slow doom style so it's not too rambunctious or anxiety provoking. Food is really good for the prices and the vegan options are awesome, tired the vegan nachos, wings, and green beans. Be sure to try the salt and vinegar fries. Surprisingly addictive. They do private and special events like heavy metal burlesque, which I hear is a good time. This is a great upgrade to the old Voltage Lounge, the small venue next to the electric factory for those who remember.“

“Great fun! Awesome music, cool crowd. Great place to dance and celebrate life!! Yummy drinks!“

“Very divey, but delicious hot wings and flavorful quesadillas. Was a little strange that all the cups were plastic but we assumed maybe the dishwasher was broken. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Still highly recommend.“

“Bartenders are great. Excellent beer!“

“Great food, Cold Beer! What more do you need?!?!?“

“Always a good time. Bartenders are attentive and friendly.“
