50 Best Bars near Holmes

“We were at Haggerty's for a dart match. (Great team.. made us feel welcome) We didn't order food, but the dart ladies were served steamtable hotdogs. But saw what could be ordered.. looked good! Bartender did a good job keeping us lubricated.“

“I made reservations for Harry Potter High Tea in April. They promoted it until mid summer. Had reservation for today June 21st for special Birthday. Ridley House took down all Harry Potter stuff, the restaurant was empty. We were seated in baron area with only one other table. The table tops were really beat up as was a lot of fixtures. High Tea was promoted with 3 tiers of food but what my SIL got was so sparse and a joke for $35. Over priced, underwhelming decor and just horrible! We will not be back! Stingers here we come!!“

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

“B&Bs is just the most fun place ever! Such a fun and friendly atmosphere, great music, and a pure Philly vibe. The citywide special is its hallmark and I enjoy it at every visit ;). Do not miss Bob and Barbara's. It defines Philadelphia, its great fun, and is a city landmark.“

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

“Second time I've been here in a month. Not from Philly. Traveling. The first time was the breakfast cheese steak. My son was obsessed with that. Tonight had the regular cheese steak w extra Cooper. Omg. Insane. The bread. The steak. The cheese. I only took like 4 bites but I think it was my favorite steak n cheese ever. Also just great atmosphere. The dude who runs the bar is on point. Love this place.“

“I love visiting Philly as frequently as time allows me. If your looking for an amazing little pub with brews from around the world then this place is for you! The mussels are amazing too, with fresh bread. yum!. Great services, good food, great brew! I Highly recommend!“

“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“

“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.“

“Tim is the friendliest bartender ever!!!!“

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

“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!“

“Must stop in for a cold one“

“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.“

“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.“

“The first time I went there was on the blind date and I did not have a good time. So this time I took my daughter to create a better memory for myself and Local 44 is definitely a vibe.

Laid back in very very nice attempted bartenders and waiters. The kid and I are definitely going back and yes she's 26“

“food and drinks were great“

“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.“

“In town for work at Logan Township, New Jersey from Indianapolis. Was recommended this place based off the food and atmosphere. The food was delicious and atmosphere did not disappoint. All the workers were super friendly and made it overall a great experience. Can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in New Jersey for work.“

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

“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🤘👍❤️💯💥“

“Visited this cigar bar over the weekend while in Philadelphia for a World Cup match, and overall it was a great experience. The atmosphere was excellent, they had a very good selection of cigars, and the cocktail program was impressive. The cocktails were well-crafted, although a little on the expensive side. We arrived a bit early, and the host was kind enough to find us seats. The service throughout the evening was outstanding, the staff was attentive, friendly, and took great care of us from start to finish. The quality of the cigars, cocktails, atmosphere, and service made for a very enjoyable evening.

My only disappointment was the automatic 20% service charge added to the bill for a party of two. While the service was excellent and the staff took great care of us, a mandatory service charge for just two guests felt unnecessary. It was the only aspect of the experience that left a negative impression and took away from an otherwise excellent evening.“

“Hands down the best place in the area before a game, event or anytime. We take our kids and they love it. Do not sleep on the menu, it’s an amazing variety. Service is excellent every time. This is the place we tell all our friends to hit up when we are in the area. 10 out of 10!“

“Bartender Bobby is great!!“

“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.“

“I am a regular at Spin Philadelphia. I usually go and have a very good time. I enjoy the food, drinks, and the atmosphere. I recently had a situation where someone asked security to deal with me. I was upset and started acting up because I was being wrongfully accused. Even though my night was going bad, I felt better because of the way I was treated by some staff. The security guy with the bandana and the front desk ping pong player were very nice to me. They heard me out, showed me respect, and were very understanding of the situation. They assured me that I was welcomed back anytime. I really appreciated that. Thank you.“

“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“

“Great food and drinks! Always consistently good.“

“Beautiful atmosphere , fun foods with great flavor“

“We went to the take out area and had never been there before. Inside sounded like fun, due to the karaoke singing! I have to say the food was so darn good and I am so sorry not only did it smell good but it was so delicious! Next time I’ll remember to take a photo. If they had a sign to sell to go drinks inside then that would been the cherry on top!“

“Billy was very nice and accommodating had a great time on a work trip with a girlfriend“

“Dr. Thunder is the best! I had a private karaoke party for my 30th birthday with him as the DJ and I think I peaked. All my friends couldn't stop talking about how awesome his music selection and DJ skills were. We loved it so much we already booked him again for another event!!! Highly recommend Dr. Thunder, 15/10“

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

“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“

“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.“

“John Morton' Tavern located on Lincoln Ave & 4th Street has great staff members/bar tenders that are very attentive towards their customers. One bar tender can handle the customers sitting at the bar. The food that came out of the kitchen was nice and hot while being prepared in a reasonable amount of time. Keep up the good work 👍-Good Luck in 2026 & Beyond. This is a good bar in the area but maybe could be smaller than some other local bars. It's not a bad thing but could get packed quickly. Business Parking lot wraps around behind the building and additional parking on 4th Ave“

“what a warm welcome to philly. the ambiance in this place is unmatched - the low light and the masterfully curated records spinning made it feel like a well needed step into the past, of slower days and simpler joys. the kind of spot that invites you to stay a little longer and sip a little slower. the coffee itself was just as memorable, and the pastries tasted like home.“

“Great place. Really nice staff. Lots of space. All the best beer. Best spot in Springfield (Delco) to grab a drink with friends.“

“I had a 2-hour outdoor happy hour at Jet Wine Bar under the pergola and it was a great time! About 40 people joined. It was easy to set-up, have a custom menu for the people who joined, and have individuals be on their own tabs while offering pitchers for the group. I highly recommend working with Jet Wine Bar for your next event!“

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

“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.“

“Bartenders are great. Excellent beer!“

“Kind and Handsome server and delicious wine selection!“

“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!“

“the bartender Rachael is so much fun!“

“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.“

“Great neighborhood bar with pool tables, outdoor benches, lots of bar seats and tables. The bartenders are friendly even when it’s slammed on Saturdays or during games. I go weekly to hang with friends, watch the games, catch up with the neighborhood, and enjoy the friendly atmosphere. Wide range of people at the bar, it’s very welcoming. Highly recommend this gem!

$1.50 to play pool - put a quarter down on the table to play. Some people are more competitive but overall everyone is there to have fun!

Sometimes they have live music with local artists but just follow them on socials for postings, Wednesdays they have trivia, and they have weekly food deals.

Also I really like their fries.“
