“This place is a hidden gem. It has a great Vibe… super cozy! The cocktails are like art! Everyone was friendly (even the other patrons) and welcoming as soon as you walked in. Perfect spot to sit inside or they have outdoor seating as well to relax and indulge in their many fabulous drinks! I will definitely be going back. Thank you for the relaxing evening!“

“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.“

“The pizza was phenomenal!!!.“

“Killer cocktails! We will be back!“

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

“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.“

“Had the Cheesesteak pizza tavern style which is our go to. We get this quite often and it’s delicious every time. I wish I had a picture but I’ll add next time because I’m sure we’ll have it again shortly“

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

“great service and good food“

“My friends and I had an amazing experience at Fabrika! We went for my birthday after hearing great things. The show and performers were spectacular. Very interactive and entertaining. The food and drinks were also delicious, and our server was so accommodating. And at the end, they open the dance floor, which is so fun! 10/10.“

“This is the 3rd time I have been to local 44 for brunch. We ordered the brussel sprouts, west philly breakfast (sub scrambled eggs), brunch burger. Very tasty - loved the fluffy eggs!
Great service from our server and server-in-training!
Will always return for brunch here“

“The food and surface here were exceptional! We had the Smashburger, wings, Greek goddess salad, and chicken Caesar wrap with fries olive, which were spectacular! The weight staff is very friendly and attentive, what a great find on our visit to Philly.“

“Great drinks and the music allows for good conversation without being quiet. Awesome tiki bar!“

“Holy balls this place is the bees knees I can’t believe how good the food is for a dive. I brought my parents here for the Phil’s game and they were immediately turned off by “bar food” but when you see how they do BAR FOOD you’re like WOW 🤩. I wish I could give them as many hugs as they deserved but I was only able to give them none, which I respect ngl. Nothing would make me happier than if this place became THE OLDEST Philly bar in Philly and honestly, it could make it. Just need the other guys to drop outta the race. We can make it happen.“

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

“a little on the pricier side for hand rolls but super delicious and good quality, makes a good meal for a celebratory dinner or special occasion. must must must eat the miso butter cod, literally ordered like 3 just for me because it's that delicious!! pricey, but good service and great food, must try at least once“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“We had a few different things off the menu and shared. Everything was amazing. All of the ingredients were fresh, the servers had great recommendations, and the service was prompt. We will definitely be back in the warmer months to enjoy the outdoor seating.“

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

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

“Been meaning to come here for years and was finally able to. Wife and i enjoyed a few drinks at the bar. Prices were on par with the city norm, service was fast and good, drinks were mixed well and the atmosphere was nice. Not too loud not too quiet. Very good neighborhood bar, we’ll be returning.“

“A great choice for an authentic pub experience especially if you’re looking for a quick yet enjoyable dinner before a show at The Met. The food was just as outstanding as the many reviews stated. Admittedly, I was skeptical that a busy bar-type restaurant could actually serve gluten free entrees without worry (my wife has celiac’s disease), but they proved me wrong. Her salad was perfectly safe, and incredibly delicious. Two from our group ordered the bbq chicken bites, another had the fish-n-chips with fries. I had a delicious salad with grilled chicken. Highly recommend Prohibition Taproom. Thanks for a wonderful first-time!“

“Popped in for a quick beer (lived in Ardmore years ago and always loved a Tired Hands brew. Bartenders were great- so friendly! Got the Alien Church IPA- excellent! Phillies game was on too and they were up, so all good;-) Great local bar, would definitely recommend and return.“

“Excellent experience 10/10.“

“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.“

“Great spot!! Full of history…cheap still and old school“

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

“Not from Philadelphia but was there on vacation. Came across this bar to escape from a lightning storm. Had a great time, made new friends, and laughed so much with the staff and customers. We stayed longer than expected, but enjoyed every minute. What a great surprise and wonderful memories!“

“Just left this place. My bartender may very well have been the best bartender ever. Attentive. Considerate. She was the kind of person you wanted to be your best friend within a few minutes. I’d gladly come back simply to enjoy her company again or the atmosphere of the bar again. P.S another bonus star… the hostess had fantastic, chic taste in clothing. If that pushes you towards dining here.“

“When I tell you the food was delicious, it had me licking my fingers. Next time I go I will definitely add a video.

I don’t know why the place has 4.6 stars. The place is the awesome, music and food. 5 STAR all the way.“

“It was kinda dead on a Wednesday, but after 3 bars and getting hungry stopped at Cheers Cafe on Westmoreland st in Port Richmond...for a pint...early enough they served food. Had a pint and some soup and OMG!!! Soup was amazing..made from scratch and was freaking delicious. Didn't even want to drink anymore wanted to just keep eating...Ordered crab balls to go...he he he!!! Then ordered whatever they had left with the soup...I am so enjoying my day off with the soup!!!! DEFINATELY A PLACE TO STOP FOR FOOD...SO YUMMY!!!“

“great food great drinks good service“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“My Daughter had her Baby Shower at the Blue Monkey Tavern and it was spectacular, with over 60 guest everyone fit comfortably. We had the 2nd floor to ourselves which had an elevator, it made transporting the baby shower items to and from the venue quite convenient. The atmosphere was elegant, service was awesome and food was amazing.“

“I came here for a live music show and was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. It has a very speakeasy vibe and a great place to spend an evening. The venue, Margolis, wasn't serving food that night but the drink I had was delicious.

“Bartenders are great. Excellent beer!“

“First time there, went thanks to Diner Drives and Dines recommendations. The WIT was so good. Atmosphere and service was awesome.! Love the vibe there. We will be back!“

“Beautiful atmosphere , fun foods with great flavor“

“My wife and l went last night. Great little bar. Great burgers and fries. The collectibles in the shadow boxes took me back to my childhood. Great vibe. Low key. Great beers. Coming back. Oh yeah, they have board games.“

“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!“
