34 Best Pubs near Lafayette Hill

“We were here on Easter for lunch with family. This was our first visit to Brittingham's. Our hostess and waitress were pleasant, professional and very attentive. Our adult beverages were great as well as our food which was delicious! Looking forward to returning in the near future!“

“I recently worked as a photographer at this bar/restaurant space that was being used for a wedding. There is a small space in the back thats great for pictures and small parties. They also have a bar upstairs and ample parking across the street. The appetizers were delicious and creative. Its a nice venue to hold a small event or to have drinks/dinner.“

“Tiny “Hometown“ type bar. Everyone was very friendly. We had a cheesesteak, which was very good, and got to put pins in the map to show how far we traveled. Drinks were generous and atmosphere was very fun. We were there on a night when they were playing bingo. It was free and a very fun addition to the night. Only complaint is the smoking. I’m sure this is some kind of last resort for smokers, and they probably love it, but I could do without going back to my hotel smelling like a dirty ashtray after having a drink and a sandwich.Parking: Parking lot is tiny and only accommodates a few cars. street parking is hard to find. This place is at the intersection of a few streets, but there is one of the roads that has free parking across the busy intersection.“

“McMenimin's is a terrific, very popular neighborhood bar/restaurant. It can be noisy, but if you sit in the back room, the noise is not too bad. We were there on a weeknight (Tuesday), and yet every table was filled by 7 o'clock. The food is better than one would expect for this kind of place. The fish and chips, chef's salad with portobello mushrooms and plant-based "cheeseburger" were all excellent. And portions were huge. The server was very pleasant. The reasons why this is 4 stars and not 5: No cocktail list at all and just a few not-so-great wines by the glass. And the entrees were served way before we were finished with the appetizers. They must have thought we had to catch a train. If you don't mind being rushed like crazy, then you might give McMenamin's 5 stars.“

“A great find! We had 2 very pleasant visits with good food and drink. We particularly liked the staff and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. The owner and colleagues were very hospitable. One of the pleasantest neighbourhood bars we have ever been in.“

“what an incredible refurbishment of a classic center city building!!!!!! the bar staff was great in every possible way including both johns and the beautiful young woman who was working with them on thursday night!!!!! the beer and booze selection is above reproach and just one piece of advice... if you like or love tullamore dew, don't drink the honey version“

“Burgers, dogs, and beer - not much more you can ask for at Good Dog Bar!One of my favorite aspects about Good Dog Bar is that their restaurant walls have framed pictures of dog pictures that customers have sent in over the years. It's makes for a fun experience and who doesn't love to look at 'a good boy'? Not only is this a cool feature about their restaurant, they also have delicious food!What we ordered:-Drinks: Swipe Right - Tito's, matcha syrup, fresh lemon, Prosecco-Appetizer: Fried Mozzarella-Entree: Good Dog Burger - stuffed with roquefort cheese, topped with caramelized onions, on a challah bun“

“I’m really on the fence with this review. The service and ambience were great. It’s a trendy little neighborhood bar with good music and good people. Three draft beers with common names and off we were to our table. The beer is brewed offsite but it’s Meeting’s beer: love that. However, the food left much to be desired. The bread and butter were good, fries were done right but the clams and Turkey BLT…meh. The clams were so chewy…I mean like, super chewy and I could not cut into it with my teeth. I had one: full stop. Now ordering a Turkey BLT, one should not expect the moon but since there’s about 7 - 8 things on the menu I would hope that each dish is done to near-perfection. It was not. It was essentially basic. Did I eat everything save for the clams? Yes. Would I go back? For sure. The service, people and beer are worth another pass. And I’ll definitely try another dish but I won’t go hungry. Live music would definitely draw me back in!“

“This place was totally awesome!!! The staff was super friendly, welcoming and attentive. And the food... everything was so delicious!! They have daily specials, a diverse beer menu and one of the best Bloody Mary's I've ever had. I highly recommend Capone's and will definitely be back.“

“Pat, the man!! First time there tonight and came due to closeness of location and reviews… but blackened chicken salad and wings to go were both A+Pat’s presence and convos were representation of what a local bar should be! When you walk into a bar and don’t feel awkward to hang by yourself and enjoy a moment… this is the place to be. I will be back soon, thanks for a great time!“

“Honestly, I wasn’t even planning on writing a review, since I wasn’t expecting much. But the Cheesesteak blew me away. The steak was delicious and the cheese was hot and fresh. Service was quick too. Overall, this place gets five stars for shocking me.“

“Monkey Club is the best locally run bar in Philly. The owners care about fostering a community and getting the best bang for your buck.Most importantly they're four for fourPhilly sports game and Always play the audio during sports games.“

“Great little neighborhood tappie. Friendly mom-type ladies behind the bar, and a made-to-order rib eye cheese steaks on a lightly toasted Conshohocken Bakery roll that will make you forget that Chubby's and D'Allesandro's are on the same block.“

“First time here. Saturday afternoon before St. Patrick's day. Good beer and drink specials. Food was really good had wings and burgers. Everyone was friendly and service was excellent. Looks like a good place to watch sports. Will definitely be “

“We've dined here a few times The previous time was really great. This time everything was off. The server needs to be trained. Previous time we had the duck confit and it was fabulous. This time it was overcooked and just plain crispy to the point of being difficult to eat. I love that East Falls has this neighborhood gem but wish that they'd step up their game, especially at this price point.“

“There's always a different bartender and it seems the more makeup they are wearing the more likely they are to get your order wrong. I ordered a double shot of Jack and a pint of coke and I got a double shot glass with ice and not even filled to the top and my soda had NO ice and it was half the size of a pint. That was a week ago. Two days ago, our food order got stupid screwed up! ...but as long as the bartenders look good, right? Shut up!“

“Came here two nights in a row on a business trip at the beginning of December. We had 8 people in our party and the staff did a wonderful job taking care of us swiftly and without error during the busy weekend service. Drinks, apps, entrees were all fantastic, and the wings were some of the best I’ve had. Atmosphere was great, and seeing as I’m still an emo kid at heart I was a big fan of the music selections the nights that we were there. We all left extremely satisfied and I know that I will definitely return when we are in town again.Shout out to the manager, you were awesome too!“

“I actually do not usually do restaurant reviews, but was so please with Con Murphy that I felt like I had to share. I feel like there are many restaurants in Philly, and this one deserves more attention. We were day-tripping Philly and enjoy seeking out the local Irish pubs. We were charmed by the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere! It was noisy and small, in a fun and happy way. The TWO bars were well-stocked. We came with the family and everyone was pleased. We started with the Parmesan Truffle French Fries and they were exemplary especially paired with the Aeoli. The blackened Grouper sandwich was "sublime" according to my son who works at a restaurant! My daughter didn't prefer the crust thinness of the flatbread, but enjoyed the potatoe soup. The Irish fare was well done. My son ordered the shepard's pie and my husband and I both ordered the beef stew. I am picky of "Irish Food" bc so many places do not give it the attention it deserves, but everything was prepared beautifully. If you like very rich, decadent broths and hearty, meaty portions, then the stew is for you. The bread it was served with was unbelievably flavorful and had a tender center and crusty exterior. The stew tasted like it had slow-cooked for hours and did not dissapoint. I ordered the "Tullamore Gold" cocktail and it was a tad sweet, but flavorful. I wish I had paired a red wine or whisky with the stew. My husband had a canned apple cider which was tasty.“

“Love this place! Food is good. Definitely try the wings with the secret spicy sauce! But the house made chips are excellent also. The "adult" juice pouches will have you feeling like a kid again ! My favorite is the green tea pitcher. If you wanna sing your heart out or just chill at the bar this place can help you with both.Wheelchair accessibility: There is none.“

“Decided to try it out here today, because it's 70°+ sunny. They had the front completey open-air. Small, but really nice, great cocktails (I had the marple tea, and my mom had a passion fruit gimlet), we had nachos and Mac and cheese apps, shrimp tacos and fall salad. All delicious and our server was very nice.“

“I came in on Saint Patrick’s day with my family. We had an extraordinary time there. The portions were very large which is great for hefty eaters or people who simply want to save their food. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the kids Mac and cheese with applesauce (don’t judge) and it was delightful. The applesauce was slightly crunchy, and had cinnamon sprinkled overtop. The Mac and cheese was delicious and cheesy, I could hardly finish it all. I also had a Shirley temple with it, which tasted amazing. It tasted a bit like strawberry syrup mixed with lemonade and sprite. The service was excellent. The waiters and waitresses were so polite, and since I went there on Saint Patrick’s day, the entire staff was dressed in leprechaun outfits. They were very friendly. The atmosphere was very light and positive, with an older style feel. I 100% recommend going here.Vegetarian options: I personally don’t recommend for vegetarians to go here, as most of Phil’s is centered off of meat, but they do have plenty of other options that don’t involve meat.Dietary restrictions: The staff was very accommodating and would definitely be willing to accommodate to dietary restrictions.Parking: The amount of parking space was surprising, since we went in on a crowded day. Yet we were able to park our car comfortably outside with not too much of a walking distance.Kid-friendliness: They were so polite to us kids, we got crayons and they did not judge the awful drawings we made.Wheelchair accessibility: They had no steps there, and the distance between the parking and the building is a very small and flat area of land.“

“A wonderful 5-star lunch experience ! Coming back from a mid-day center city concert, decided to stop in @ Tavern On the Hill rather than MacNally's...SO glad we did ! Bartender Mackenzie couldn't have been better : super-efficient AND super-personable ! I've had many excellent meals here before, lunch and dinners, today was no exception. Straying from our regular menu favorites ( tough to pass on the always great burger or turkey'n' brie sandwich),we both had the same "special"...a smoked kielbasa/ kraut sandwich. Not an item I'd usually rave over, it was just perfect...the best I've ever had. Great kielbasa, nicely toasted roll, homemade-tasting kraut...and even a high-quality tasty brown mustard. You just won't go wrong here... where else would somebody rave about a kielbasa sandwich ??? Can't wait to return for lunch OR dinner...“

“This was my first time visiting this Pub and restaurant, I visited around dinner time an overall had an average experience. The menu had both an American and Irish flair, the sandwich and other food I ordered was okay, but unremarkable. Right in the neighborhood again and wanted a lunch time menu I might visit again, but I don't think I'd visit again for dinner. The atmosphere was fairly typical of a public house and otherwise unremarkable“

“What a fantastic spot to watch the Eagles game. Food that we had (cheesesteak eggrolls, wings and tacos) were all fantastic. Probably the best service I've ever had in a bar. Every time one of our group of six drink was even close to empty, they were right on it. Can't wait to go back again for another game!“

“Came here for a quick beer and enjoyed this spot. It has the feeling of a dive , so if you aren’t into that, this isn’t the place for you. I had their Green Rock Lager which had an interesting taste of bananas, but for the price was much more interesting than a typical light beer. Would definitely come back for a drink and to try the food.“

“Walt's has been a GREAT EXPERIENCE for over 30 years for me! I am not a regular but when I feel like I am in a party mood with an OLD SKOOL feel I go there because I know I will be satisfied! Good music, drinks, and good food has always been on top of the list! They have a great patronage there! CHECK THEM OUT☺“

“Awesome time! The actors are great with audience interactions and can really play off a random comment or two. Our server 'Lucky' was also top notch. Always making sure are glasses are full and even chatted with us for a few minutes after the show!“

“What a place! Ryan the owner went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.I told him we were going to the Keswick and he asked me who was playing and we had a nice conversation .He put on Bob Dylan music and shared with me some documentaries he suggested I watch.The bar was full of people and you just had a feeling Ryan knew each and everyone of them.Our server was very friendly and helpful with recommendations when asked.Worth a trip to Glenside just to experience the atmosphere of this Pub.“

“We were seated very quickly our server which I didn't get her name was very friendly and was very attentive took our order and our food didn't take long. I had a hamburger french fries that was big enough for two people to eat and the salad bar I enjoyed everything. My wife and sister-in-law had the salad bar and enjoyed it!“

“Castle Roxx is my go to stop. Every time I come I have a great experience. All of the bar tenders always are amazing and work so hard to make my experience the best in Manayunk. Eric and Vinny are two of my favorite bar tenders. They make even the slowest nights the most fun. I normally come during the week, as opposed to the weekends, and I never regret it.“

“Small little Irish bar downtown. It's narrow, but there is a second floor with a pool table and dart board for your enjoyment. The service is efficient and friendly. If you're looking for a laid back place to grab a pint, stop by.“

“I had a backroom graduation party in May., perfect place for a party for a crowd of est.40 people. Shawn Murphy made sure we got it all set up right, W/ wristbands provided, the bartenders were fabulous. I would definitely recommend this place for private party's. Had a great time, thank yoh, Gary D“

“My wife and I moved from the area a few years ago and our recent trip back to F&M really made me miss it. Gregg (if you're visiting just ask him where to go...he might know everyone) and Mel couldn't have been better (she knew how to pour a snyt!!) and what seemed like an entire bar of friends almost convinced us to move back. I usually use Yelponly to check for hours and byo status but I felt compelled here to show some love. Oh yes, and the beer. It is the tops.“
