50 Best Bars near Havertown

“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.“

“Love the Shuffle! and the regulars. Reminds me of Cheers!“

“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!“

“Excellent menu, huge portions, amazing service and so reasonably priced!“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“I stopped by for Happy Hour and tried the Burger & Beer combo with fries, as well as a slice of plain Detroit Style pizza. Everything was decent but could have been better. The Happy Hour pricing for the combo is worth it but just don’t expect a spectacular burger and the best beer.

I’d say the pizza slice was a bit overpriced. It was a bit undercooked and a bit lacking in flavor from the sauce and cheese. Perhaps the dough could use more salt. The burger was more flavorful but the bun was surprisingly soggy a few minutes after it was served. This wasn’t detrimental but it’s an area to improve. It also seemed like the toppings weren’t as evenly dispersed as they could have been but maybe they were just easily moving around a lot. I’m not as familiar with beer but I think I’ve tasted better but I also wouldn’t expect better for a Happy Hour deal, so I’m not complaining at all. The fries were fine as well, a couple served soggy, not the best flavor, but passable.

The service was great. My server checked on me at timely intervals and gave me everything I needed.

The atmosphere offers a few different options which was nice. Even the outdoor area is on two different streets and one side tends to have a quieter vibe. I didn’t check out the upstairs or stay in the bar area, but those are also options.“

“Great food and drinks! Always consistently good.“

“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!“

“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.“

“It’s a great new dive-ish bar in the area. Big bar with 3 TVs with tables and TVs in the back. The draft list is just okay but I assume it’ll get better with time (they need more local beers and then a cheap domestic option). Haven’t tried the food yet. The service is awesome. The bartenders are super cool. It’s just a good vibe kinda place.

Edit: rooting for them still but I had jerk wings and they were just not good at all. So over-fried and dry with little flavor and skinny bones. I definitely won’t try wings here again but maybe some of the other food is okay.

Still love it but the need to do a better job with the draft beer - last time the only beer on draft out of 8 drafts that was available was Guinness (which I love so it was fine but still).

Good burger“

“Frankie and all the staff were fantastic. Met a few great local people too. Great to have a drink watch a game and a chat.“

“Beautiful atmosphere , fun foods with great flavor“

“Great people!! Thanks so much Doug for taking care of us and letting us order in amazing cheese steaks you recommended! We will definitely be back my new/old-school nostalgic favorite stop any time I'm out in Philly! Great to meet some new phriends and phamily! Rock on🤘👍❤️💯💥“

“Very authentic American cuisine, I really like it.“

“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.“

“I love this bar. The service is great! The bartenders are amazing. Especially Misty!! I made a great friend by going here on Friday afternoons when I go to meet my boyfriend on Fridays after work. We always have their food. Pork sandwiches and roast beef sandwiches are delicious. The owner is a great guy and always makes you feel at home as soon as you walk in Cherry Street!!’ I also love their music. They play all the old classics and some recent stuff as well.“

“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.*“

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

“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.“

“We have been meaning to try this place since we moved to the area and we drive by it all of the time we decided to go on a Thursday night, which conveniently ended up being a very fun trivia night for the tavern- we stayed after our meal was over to play with the rest of the restaurant and really really enjoyed it! As far as The Food, it was very tasty!! We ordered a Buffalo chicken cheesesteak for myself and a regular cheesesteak and loaded fries for my partner. The Food came delivered to the table, hot and delicious. They have an easy to read menu with a center bar, booth seating, and not a bad seat in the house. The only downside we had to the visit was that we felt a little out of place like maybe there were more locals there and we might actually have been sitting in someone’s seat that comes in on a regular basis. lol- oh wheat staff was friendly and helpful and as we mentioned before the trivia night really capped off the evening. Plenty of parking too!“

“our group had our dinner during our stay in Philly... we are veey much satisfied with the food, generous serving and friendly staff... we had a great time during our dinner!“

“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“

“A huge variety of delicious vegan options and great beer/kombucha on tap. We often come for brunch to get the West Philly Breakfast which rivals vegan breakfast plates had in Scotland. Always nice to sit outside in the fresh air, but the seating inside is also great.“

“Bar Jawn has Amazing service and food! In addition, a special thank you to Twon, Kelly, and David for helping out Blind Sports Organization (BSO) for letting us raise some money to let us continue and play the sport we really love. They really took great care of us the 6 hours we were there for.“

“Tasty tacos and tasty margaritas!!!“

“Sat at the bar and the bartender was super friendly. Always great to have an experience like that in an airport“

“Great food at a great price!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Love ❤️ the drinks are good and bartenders are great 💋“

“Must stop in for a cold one“

“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“

“the bartender Rachael is so much fun!“

“This is straight up one of the coolest vibes in black Philadelphia. You get such a diverse crowd of people across the diaspora and the food is amazing. Karaoke night brings out some REAL singers but even if you aren’t good, the crowd is still so supportive and fun. I really love this place.“

“Hosted my 30th birthday party here and it was a blast! From the party planner, Brynn, to our private bartender, Tiff to management, everyone was amazing! They were all so accommodating and truly made it a special night for me. The back room is perfect for private events. Highly recommend.“

“The best time EVERY TIME! Love the pool tournaments ! Food is always on point ! Can’t beat the chicken Kebabs! And Deja is the best ! Always making sure our drinks are flowing and that we are well taken care of ! Def be seeing more of us!“

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

“I find it an awesome place to sit outside with great drinks and a great happy hour especially the nachos just wish they added chorizo on the nacho’s for happy hour. Nice to relax here last night was the Phillies game and it was great👍“

“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.“

“I was there for a breast cancer survivor party, and it was my first time, I had the best time ever and am looking forward to going back again. I thought you opened early but see your hours start at 5pm. I have a girlfriend that wants to celebrate her birthday there November 2, 2024, so I plan to call and make arrangements for us to celebrate there this Saturday. I give this restaurant a five plus.“

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

“Bartenders are great. Excellent beer!“

“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.“
