50 Best Bars near Jenkintown

“This is our new favorite spot to grab a cocktail. They have a wonderful selection of craft cocktails, mead, beer, and wine. Bartenders are very friendly and always happy to recommend a good selection if you aren’t sure. The atmosphere has a great vibe and I always love the music selections on their playlists. Jenkintown has a few nice BYOB restaurants so this is a great place to stop for drink beforehand or nightcap afterwards. It really rounds out the evening!“

“I went in the other night like usual, got my beer and sat down, a guy walked in and assaulted the cook, and he still made everyone’s food. I asked him how his face was and all he said was “as long as the food was good”
Ten out of ten“

“Great atmosphere and dinner was delicious!“

“Been coming here for years. Love the food and prices. Very friendly staff. Taliyah was amazing!!“

“Killer cocktails! We will be back!“

“My husband took me out to Philly for an early Mother’s Day gift. He said we were going to a “speakeasy” type bar in Chinatown but I didn’t believe him. When we got to an iron screen door, he was like this is it and I was like you got to be kidding me. The owner came out, asked my husband if he knew it was a cash bar took our ids then went inside. The owner brought back our ids then took us inside to a foyer where he told us the rules of the bar. Cash only, absolutely, no photography and no phones. If you need to take a phone call, you go back to foyer area or outside to not disturb people. We agreed to rules and went inside. The bar was dimly lit with candles on each table. The decor was amazing with pictures and antiques on the wall. We were sat at a table and given a cocktail menu. The cocktails were unique and separated by whiskey, gin, vodka and rum. If you need a light since it is so dim in the bar, they will bring you a light because they brought one to my husband. There were no beers on the menu so if that is what you’re looking for then this isn’t the place for you. We ordered our cocktails and they were amazing. Since there is no phone usage, you have more of an intimate experience with the person you are with because you aren’t distracted by your phone. We sat and talked while drinking our drinks. The owner came over and asked us about our drinks and how we were doing. We then ordered another round of drinks and continued talking. We enjoyed our time at Hop Sing Laundromat. Service was great, bartenders were great, owner was great, and the ambiance was amazing. This is a great date night spot for anyone who wants to enjoy a intimate setting with a cocktail or two. I would post pictures but again, No Photography so you would have to go in order to see it to believe it. You will enjoy this experience and not be disappointed.“

“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.“

“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“

“Mike was amazing, He is funnier than alot of standup comedians out there! He’s very knowledgeable in his field and his humor is outstanding. My cheeks hurt after 1 hour of the tour, which by the way went super fast. We lost the track of time with his fun banter.
Highly recommend!
Mike if you’re reading this, you will see us so often.“

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

“The pizza was phenomenal!!!.“

“great service and good food“

“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!“

“Nice little spot, with nice energy. It can be a little tight inside, but given the shape of the building, it's to be expected. Though some people say the portions are small, I felt they were adequate and not dissimilar to say Bastia. I'm not a huge oyster person, but the recommendations were very good, especially paired with the zhug. Everyone we interacted with was lovely, but we were especially appreciative of Jordan, who gave us the majority of our recommendations.

We ate:
- psychedelicate
- stony shore
- bad boys
- broccolini caesar
- yellowtail pastrami
- crispy butterflied trout
- baby back ribs“

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

“The absolute best handrolls I have ever had and will ever have!!! I ordered the spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and spicy yellowtail handrolls. The rolls taste extremely fresh and the housemade soy sauce is incredible. The service is quick! I can't wait to come back.“

“When there are no events, a great place to decompress. Staff are friendly and take care of you. The burgers are banging, the beers are icy breezy and the frozen bacardis are a vacation at home. Stellar staff as always.“

“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!“

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

“This place is such a great spot for any occasion, such great food and an amazing vibe, great for a stop in when you’re strolling down main st! Owner is awesome too, helped me shovel my car out when in was stuck in the street, if that isn’t customer service then I don’t know what is!“

“Awesome!! Never had a bad meal!! Wine was excellent as well…friendly staff ❤️“

“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.“

“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“

“Excellent experience 10/10.“

“Best bar in Philly. Kyle and the entire staff have been nothing but good to us over the years. Drink specials are great. New taco menu is fantastic. Live music and DJ nights rule!“

“Good people and fun place to enjoy a couple beers, bartenders treat everyone like family.“

“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!“

“Really like this place. Have been coming for a few months now. They make a good drink and the food is great. Love the chicken quesidillas! The staff is friendly and attentive. The size of the bar is really big, with lots of room for the tables, too.“

“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“

“This is probably the best dive bar in the neighborhood. Drinks are cheap and they always have sports on. The back patio projector is an ELITE bar game watching experience when it’s nice weather. You can play pool too. The staff and everyone that goes here is friendly.“

“We just tried this place Friday night and was really pleased with the craft beer selection and could not have had a better meal. We had the chicken franchise and chicken Bella bucca. The green beans and rice were delicious as was the potatoes and spinach. Prices were very reasonable as well. Highly recommend this place and we will be back. Thank you to the chef and service staff.“

“Had the best girls night last night at Poison Heart. My friend and I were looking for a cozy spot with good drinks and food before seeing Drama across the street. The red lighting set the tone for our fun evening and the staff was so friendly and attentive. We actually had such a good time after the show ended we ran back across the street for one last wine and late night fries. When we came back we were greeted again by Jess who had poured our first glasses of wine and found us two seats. What a great girls night at this amazing spot that is cozy, and has great vibes.“

“Beautiful atmosphere , fun foods with great flavor“

“Great place, selection of spirits and the food is outstanding! Check out the bartender Eddie, that's my guy“

“Need to do, if you are I n the Borough! Sorry if I’m repeating myself, but, you need to stop by! Great beverages, good service, casual atmosphere.“

“Great fun! Awesome music, cool crowd. Great place to dance and celebrate life!! Yummy drinks!“

“Fantastic BBQ food, great service, fun atmosphere and the tipsy teas are delicious 😋“

“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 Local has an old-vibe neighbor bar atmosphere. That being said, the lunch menu had vegan-vegetarian options which I was pleasantly surprised to see. The miso ramen was flavorful, but would have enjoyed it more if it included more veggies. My friend had the veggie burger which he said was delicious. Will definitely go back to try their other food options.“

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

“Cheesesteak tots were so good. Woke up in the middle of the night thinking about them“

“Great beer and ambiance at the Fishtown location! The management and staff were so friendly and made us feel welcome! We’ll definitely go back the next time we are in Philadelphia!“

“Always a good time. Bartenders are attentive and friendly.“

“Dawn and Keith are wonderful providing great service. The brisket tots are amazing! A great place to see live music.“

“This is a philly phuckin' dive my guy. $20 cars minimum. ATM on premises.

I've never been before last night but I went with people who have been coming for years. The bartender wasn't taking no shit but hey, I'm a yapper lmao.

If they do food here, the regulars I went with didn't order it lol, they ordered from around the corner.“

“Bartenders are great. Excellent beer!“

“what a great place with delicious drinks and a wonderful tour.“

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

“Been there a few times now after discovering it a couple weeks ago and had a different bartender each time. Without fail, each bartender has been exceptionally welcoming and kind! Haven't gotten food but it does look good. Week nights seem to be quiet for a beer and very little wait on the pool tables. Went on a Friday and the place was buzzing, love to see it! Pool tables being $1.50/game is great compared to so many other places.

Can't recommend this place enough. This is my friends and I's new favorite spot.“
