“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!“

“We organized a meeting for our Tech Community here and had a great time! The management and staff did their best for us. The restaurant has a very cozy atmosphere, which is perfect for talking and meeting people. Also, the kitchen is great with many different dishes for every taste. The QR codes made it very easy for everyone to pay for their own food and drinks. Thank you for the great service!“

“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!“

“There is never a wait here, and that’s insane because of how good it is. The atmosphere is great since it’s roadside in ambler. The food is cheap and you get soooo much. I got the chicken strips, and they genuinely took an entire chicken and cut it into pieces. Poor Albert, he was a good chicken. R.I.P. At least he tasted good 😋. And to end this review, I’m going to talk about the pretzel. This pretzel is the reason we go to Tannery Run. This is the reason for the five stars. This pretzel is my motivation for everything in life. Not exaggerated.“

“Bartenders are great. Excellent beer!“

“honestly we almost walked past this place but im so glad we didnt stop. the vibe inside is like nothing else in ambler, really comfortable and chill. i got the burger and it was juicy, came out hot and the fries were crispy just how i like them. my friend had the salmon and she kept saying how fresh it tasted. the person behind the bar was super nice and checked on us a few times. whole meal felt easy and good without being stuffy. definitely coming back next time im in town.“

“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.“
