“We popped in this afternoon for a bite. Great beers, food and the staff were terrific! Met Tim, the owner, who answered all kinds of questions and was enthusiastic and friendly! Definitely planning to return! And hoping to get a sixtel for the kegerator at home!“

“Great beer, better people!“

“I had an amazing experience at Victory Brewing Company, and a huge part of that was thanks to Rachel, the hostess. From the moment we walked in, she greeted us with such genuine warmth and friendliness that it immediately set the tone for the entire visit. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable, kept us informed during a busy time, and made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table.

Rachel’s positive attitude and attention to detail truly made our experience unforgettable. It’s rare to come across someone who brings that level of energy and care to their role. Because of her, we’ll absolutely be coming back—and recommending this place to everyone we know!“

“Amazing pizza. Great truffle fries. Really good buffalo cauliflower

Beer is good. I wish there were more options that are low/no hop. Even the pilzner tasted hoppy. I'd love a nice wheat beer.

No true gluten free options other than some salad.

The outdoor area is super cute.“

“Amazing food! Can’t wait to go back!“

“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.“

“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“

“Craft Hall is awesome. We love the Wednesday night staff. The food is decent and comes I good portions. I recommend the BBQ Tower. For the beers, I recommend the lighter brews such as their pilsner and lager. Craft Hall also hosts a really awesome ten player arcade game called Killer Queen. There is always a large group that plays Wednesdays. Really cool group if you're looking for some Wednesday night fun! Also CODY ROCKS!“

“We went there Saturday for an early dinner. Great atmosphere, love that you have games available to play. Food was delicious our only complaint would be your fries, tasted fantastic but the minuscule size we were not a fan of! Very hard to consume with them being so tiny. I am not a beer drinker but my husband and son we fans!“

“Great neighborhood spot with fantastic pizza, a great beer selection and awesome staff.“

“They brew beer off-site so they serve fresh made food in house which is rare for a brewery! Great beer, great mixed drinks, fantastic food and the hot honey pizza was perfectly crispy with just the right amount of char! Lo, Ben and Evelyn were all fantastic bartenders who all took care of us all night!“

“Double Nickel Brewing Co. is the best place to go for a killer craft brew, friendly staff, tasty food, and a second to none, family-friendly atmosphere! Jagged Little Thrill-The Alanis Experience had a wonderful experience performing in Fall 2024, and we can't wait to come back this Saturday night, September 6th, to have another incredible show for the memory books! Thank you for being so amazing, DN!! 🫶❤️🙏“

“Excellent live music venue.“

“Great food! Great atmosphere. Beautiful setting. Everyone that works here is super nice. Great beer as well!:)“

“Great bar. Great food. Great place to watch Liverpool FC games and cheer for Liverpool FC ❤️🤍⚽️🏆🥇👍👌👏💪“

“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!“

“Haley our bartender is fabulous!“

“So I got this like pizza thing it was OK. It just was very spicy and weird, but it was OK. The servers are nice. It’s just that they came very slow and it wasn’t very busy there. It taste like a long time to come, but they’re nice so I would read this place probably like a five out of 10, I like their fries though.“

“Bartenders are great. Excellent beer!“

“Cool new spot right in Ambler! Originally was going to check out Ridge Hall, but stuck around to give Twisted Gingers a try and they did not disappoint! They had great options and a very cool modern space. Give them a try if your around Ambler!“

“If you’re heading to Northern Liberties with kids in tow (and still want a beer), Craft Hall/Mainstay Independent is a solid choice for lunch.

Craft Hall is a massive industrial space that houses Mainstay Independent Brewing Company and feels more like a sports bar than a traditional brewery. Parking in the small front lot is tight but there’s also street parking and a couple of garages just a few blocks away if you’re willing to loop once or twice.

Inside, the vibe is unapologetically industrial: exposed steel, high ceilings, big open room. It’s not warm and cozy or where you go for a quiet pint.

Our visit was a bit chaotic. There’s a large indoor playground (pirate ship) packed with dozens of kids running, climbing, and burning off energy while parents reclaim a sliver of sanity. It’s extremely kid-friendly, and that clearly drives the lunch crowd.

Adults get their own zone at the bar, which helps balance things out. The tables are spacious, the projectors and TVs are plentiful, and the whole setup is perfect for watching a game, hosting a happy hour, or gathering a big group.

Beer-wise, we found the lineup solid but mostly average, with the standout being the Winter Bock. The traditional German-style lager was very malt-forward, roasty and smooth.

Craft Hall isn’t an intimate date-night brewery. It’s loud, lively, and built for volume. But if you’re looking for a kid-friendly brewery experience in Northern Liberties where adults can still grab a solid pint? This place absolutely fills that niche.“
