50 Best Bars near Haverford

“great food great atmosphere best on main line“

“Yeah, it’s a little pricey but wow, the food tastes incredible. It was worth the cost. Even just a simple salad has flavors that I had not experience before. They must be getting their tomatoes from some Mr Green Jeans garden because they tasted like I expect them to taste on television. Everything had complex flavors and was very fresh and very delicious. The atmosphere felt like my artistic grandmother’s living room but we got it. They want you to feel like you’re at home while eating some Michelin chef-level food. For us modest heshers on a budget, this is only to be a special treat, but if I make it in the music business, I’ll eat here every day. It’s that delicious. It was my partner’s birthday and they gave her a free piece of cake and it was scrumptious just like everything else. Make reservations because it’s always busy. We waited 45 minutes for our food, but it wasn’t a bad place to wait and the food was worth it. It’s also dog friendly and people love to eat outside with their pooches. I also have celiac disease and after explaining to the waitress about cross-contamination, she was extremely careful and I had a salad and was not affected. That’s very rare for me, but it gives you an idea of the level of service. Top Notch!“

“Amazing place, delicious food, fun atmosphere and reasonable prices“

“We just love our new family restaurant! We get treated like family everytime we go!!!! The atmosphere is so cozy and the staff is exceptional. And let's talk about the food - it's absolutely to die for! The portions during happy hour are perfect and the prices are so reasonable.

But the best part? Let me introduce you to DAVID! He's the star of the show - always attentive, funny, and he makes drinks like a true master! Whenever I go, I insist on being seated with David.

They made our anniversary so special and they truly care about their guests' experience. We feel so lucky to have this gem in the neighborhood. I'd travel far and wide for this level of excellence!

Oh, and I can't forget to mention my favorites: The Good Good Things drink, the Buffalo wings during happy hour, and the amazing cheesesteak! And my kids absolutely love the huge, deep dish, extra cheesy pizza.

We're off to our reservation with David - can't wait! If you go, make sure to say hi to him and tell him Mink sent you!

Almost forgot the fresh house made potato chips!!!! So so so good!!! Don't skip them!

Kid-friendliness: Always awesome and patient with my kids!“

“Amazing food and service. Not a bad place to catch a game.“

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

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

“After a long day helping someone move to the neighborhood, we just wanted anything to eat. Even though it was late on a Sunday, we got a friendly greeting, were served quickly and the food was delicious. Far better than we expected. Will definitely eat here again.“

“Great atmosphere. Awesome staff. Of course, great drinks!“

“The bayou basically birthed my child. I had their 25 cent wings every Monday and Tuesday leading up to my due date. I was actually in the bar when my water broke and the staff were so friendly and assisted me until my husband could arrive. Can’t wait for my little girl to try their food when she’s older!“

“A home away from home for Commanders fans living in Philadelphia. Old Bay is featured heavily on the menu, as it should be. They easily accommodated our walk in party of 14 and put up with us playing "Hail To The Redskins" on the jukebox repeatedly.

*To the couple Commanders fans who left negative reviews, that's not cool and you're missing the joke.*“

“Let me start I did read all the bad reviews before heading over there so I didn’t have great expectations.However as a cheapskate and a craft beer lover especially searching for my lessor common styles of beer, I typically go by each bar and restaurant in airport and scan QR code to see beer selection and check pricing.Most places here in Philadelphia Airport straight rip off at 16 per pint, but when you want a beer you’re stuck. Anyway when I first approached the counter I was absolutely expecting to be poked since they didn’t show prices only beer menu.Luckily they had something for me that I was going to purchase regardless, A nice strong Golden at 8%.I was then blown away upon seeing I got a 20oz, normally higher ABV beers are served in smaller 12oz glasses. Any full pour of 20oz was only 10 bucks and I was expecting at least 20, left me room in budget to not only get 2nd beer plus a pretty solid hotdog and chips.Biggest plus was Connor the bar tender, was super cool and attentive, and then informed me I was safe to take my cup and walk back to my terminal, since I walked a fair distance just to check out all beer options.Lastly, unlike most other restaurants In airport it’s kind of obvious if your paying attention that their section is not owned and maintained by airport, as most restaurants have tables and chairs with chargers that kind of blend from restaurants into gates, so I kinda understand their right to ask people to patronize their business or ask them to leave, I was lucky to find a spot at the bar.Not excusing anyone ever treated rudely, and definitely not my experience.“

“Streetlight Kitchen & Bar is a great restaurant to go to for dinner. Their smashburger is delicious and seasoned perfectly. Streetlight is a great place to eat with friends and family.The atmosphere is great and the servers are very polite. Would recommend people that love high quality food and great cocktails to go to this restaurant.“

“Tasty tacos and tasty margaritas!!!“

“We got there for an early dinner Saturday afternoon and immediately got a table. We put orders in and we’re fast served. The food was very delicious and well done. Good presentation, the server was very professional, ambient was clean and a pleasant music in the back. Good location on Drexel Campus. Easy to park on the streets.“

“Bartenders are great. Excellent beer!“

“Just had dinner / drinks at Manoa Tavern tonight. Our server was Ava and she was fantastic. Very friendly and attentive. Food was excellent! We will be back!“

“A cozy tavern on the side of the main way. This joint had some delicious home cooked meals for decent (pre pandemic) prices. For tasty roast beef sandwiches, or a filling helping of philly cheesesteak fries. This place surely hit the mark on delicous food and good service.

Parking: Small parking lot, but free.“

“Ive been to Tommy's several times..I Was just there Thursday night. Everytime I go there with my husband, nothing but good vibes, atmosphere..What bar anybody goes to, and the owner is always around..“

“Awesome Neighborhood Bar, great for ages 30 -60. Women of those ages, could use more Single women. Men consist of hard working people, Blue Collar men. But if good looking women are there the men will arrive. Just a bar you can be comfortable at. Just my opinion.“

“Great food and drinks! Always consistently good.“

“Must stop in for a cold one“

“We have the unfortunate issue of our daughter being inpatient at CHOP; and on the rare occasion we do get out it’s usually hyper local during the dark last 16 months. Today on a 48 degree shitty rainy Saturday; Em was feeling comfortable with her care staff so we ventured 10 blocks away

I grew up in the city and jetted for the burbs after nearly 30 years, an I vowed to never go back; I love my burbs now I review as an old crotchety man.

Driving around on a dark, rainy, crappy Philadelphia day and hallelujah; we found parking. My West Philadelphia skills had to kick in and parallel shoehorn my way into a spot Im a pro :)

Drinks: wife had a BM (Bloody Mary weirdos) and we both had several local beers afterwards; outstanding selection

Food: We had some time so we strung things along a bit; had the Broccolini; Mushroom scrapple (a little sachy), wings and the grits F$&&@$!ng fantastic 5⭐️

Service: 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sarah was our main server; all staff was super accommodating and awesome

Atmosphere: chill - comfortable Spotify mix on; a teeny bit loud but all in all 5⭐️

Place is great. Will be back“

“Delicious!!! My friends and I were so excited to try Bar Jawn, especially since we’ve loved Pizza Jawn for a long time! The food and drinks were all fabulous - Bar Jawn has a chill, relaxed atmosphere but boasts an elevated bar menu that is so much more and so far beyond typical bar food! Some of our favorites were the drunken ravioli, the buffalo arancini (so inventive!!!), the chicken parm (make sure you get it with ravioli!), the mozzarella triangles (mozz sticks with an upgrade!) and the eggplant stack! So excited to come back as the menu changes and try even more awesome options! Thank you, Bar Jawn!“

“I come here fairly regularly with my running group. This a great neighborhood bar, the owner is awesome and super friendly. The food is also better than you'd expect for a dive bar, but it still has the dive bar charm. This is easily my favorite bar up the hill in Manayunk“

“the bartender Rachael is so much fun!“

“I was staying in Plymouth meeting for a few months from dallas for work and this place quickly became a home away from home. Was right after the eagles won the Superbowl and nobody gave me a hard time when I wore my cowboys gear in! Good friendly people. Reminded me of my little hometown bar back in Dallas. Great food too!“

“Had a great time. We went to see Magical Mystery Doors. Food was excellent and top k notch burgers. Our waitress went above and beyond ( sorry forgot name but petite woman curly hair). Our only complaint was they should set boundaries when there is live music. We had a table almost next to the stage but there was so many people that we had to stand ( not that that’s a problem) but there was ways they could’ve avoided this. All in all a solid place“

“Great local spot. My husband and I used to come here when we lived in Philadelphia. Came back for a visit after being gone 10 years. Elaine gave us updates on friends and neighbors from our old street. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about the neighborhood’s history. You can get a quality lager for $4. Cash only.“

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

“Very good food! Staff are always super friendly. Love the ambiance 🍷“

“Delicious as always. I went yesterday, with a friend and I got to say, your prices have gone through the roof! I mean doubled by $8-$10 per meal. We also got there at 4:30 on a Saturday afternoon, the dead of August, we wanted a hightop table. We were told that they were reserved and That people would be coming in within the next 45 minutes, and they didn’t wanna have to switch us again. By the time we left at 7:30 there were still 2 high tops available/empty. I’ll still be back because it’s a Broadway but those two things definitely bothered us“

“This was my first time here with a friend, and we had a wonderful time. Our server, Keegan was amazing!! Super personable, and hopefully not too upset that we were sitting for so long. We’d not seen each other for over a year, and Keegan was attentive and made our visit even better. The food and drinks were also great! Thanks for a making it a fantastical evening. Will definitely be back!“

“Just a small local bar where the folks are friendly and bartenders are awesome. Shuffle board and pool tables with a great playlist on the jukebox! If you're not looking to dress up but just want to go grab a drink and relax, this is the place. The signs all over will have you in stitches . The restrooms are clean and beer is always cold!! I could hang here all day.“

“Always have a great time at Craft Beer Store, Springfield.“

“The bartenders are on point, as is the pricing for anything outside of a private club. It's legit one of the last bastions of what a "corner bar" quintessentially is - afforable drinks, great service and interesting people. If the smoke isn't a deal breaker for you, stop in.“

“This place is great, clean, nice great prices. Pete is fantastic and very accommodating. We live in the neighborhood and love to stop by for a nice beer, shot, cocktail. Highly recommended and great place
In the manayunk neighborhood. Gotta stop in!“

“Can't say enough positive things about this neighborhood gem. Great bartenders who make the place feel like home, two pool tables which draw friendly players of all skill levels, delicious food and rotating specials, and the most lovely regulars who will make you feel like family. Scanlons is why I love living in this neighborhood.“

“Great food, clean bathrooms and a nice dance floor. Had a very good time, the people are a mature crowd and friendly.“

“Best gay bar in south philly.“

“Always a good pint pour, highly recommended.“

“They food good the music is nice and bartenders are good“

“Nice comfortable laid back spot“

“Had a beautiful baby shower for my daughter here and couldn’t be happier! Live 3 hrs away and the planning was smooth due to Katie and Gabriella’s help. Walk thru when came into town and day of event-answered many questions-AMAZING
PTG caterers- delicious ! Despite NO tape etc you can get creative with decorating.
Maybe birthday party #1 will be here!“

“Sorry I didn't have any food. But a great little corner bar. Old time stuff. Just a place to go in and have a couple drinks. And pick up on the occasional conversation, which can get very interesting. Great bartender will make what you ask him to.
Please do not pass on good information about this place. I don't want anybody else finding out about it.
If you're lucky you can run into the psychologist that I ran into, and get a session for the price of a couple drinks.

Parking: The later in the evening the better. Meters on both sides of the street. Went at 10:00 p.m. had the whole street to myself.“

“If it’s a great cocktail or cold beer or great conversation then you should definitely try stopping by to meet the newest member of McBrides. Im Justine and I can’t wait to lift your spirits ?????come visit me on Monday night 6-2am or Saturday night 6-2am don’t forget all games we have free sausages and hotdogs . And all day and evening $2.50 cans domestic beer $3.00 bottles and imports $4.00 see you soon ?“

“Great food at a great price!! Go often!!“

“Not my best visit here, the waitress was completely disinterested in my dining experience, long gaps between check-ins, never brought me napkins for my crab and speaking of my crab, it was missing a claw, I guess someone in the kitchen needed a snack.“
