50 Best Bars near Media

“Great experience last night. Tried going to iron hill for a burger. Sat down and waited 20 minutes but no one came over to us. Seemed like the kitchen was backed up but the front kept seating people. So we left and went to 320, where I normally just grab and go. My husband and I sat at the bar, got burgers, fries, mad elf, and a mad elf cru to take home. Great spot for a low key night out.“

“My go to place for Wings and adult beverages“

“This is such a cute space. Its seat yourself and first come first serve. The service can be iffy depending on how crowded it is. And the menu is smaller in the beer garden. Limted to certain pizzas, some pasta, salad, appetizers. But the food is good and the drinks are good. Not great for large parties of people. Id say best for up to 4 people.“

“so fun! so much to do. definitely could have spent the whole day here!“

“Eating out is usually a production (and sometimes a disaster) as I'm gluten free and lactose free. To my pleasant surprise, our server Jaime made my experience a dream.
She was so knowledgeable about this, explained everything in detail, was very patient with my questions. Thank you for making my dining experience seamless from start to finish.
If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely return.“

“We had my wife and her twin sister’s birthday party there with over 70 people. The event was well organized and the staff was friendly and accommodating. They were patient with our younger guests. Everyone said they had a great time. Thank You to Barnaby’s for a great job!!“

“Amazing staff, they were so friendly and helpful!! Their food was also exquisite! I’ve been 2 times and both time I’ve been absolutely impressed!! Highly recommend! Joanne was darling!!“

“Excellent dinner, wonderful service!“

“Must stop in for a cold one“

“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.“

“How have I never been here?! Mistake corrected. Incredible sound, much bigger than anticipated for the size of the room. Will definitely return! A question was apparently posed, but it wasn't really necessary because the answer was emphatic: YES; Delaware does, in fact, doom.“

“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.“

“First time visit, love the live music, atmosphere, salad bar and pizza oven. Can’t wait to come back and try the goat cheese and peaches pizza!“

“Great food and drinks! Always consistently good.“

“This was my second visit to Ripplewood Whiskey & Craft, and my first time experiencing their happy hour—and it did not disappoint. The menu had a great variety, and I enjoyed both the drinks and the pork bao buns.

A standout “happy accident” was ordering the pretzel rolls with truffle butter… absolutely amazing. That alone is worth coming back for.

The bartenders were attentive and provided great service throughout our visit. We also tried the deviled eggs, which were just okay for me—the mustard base was a bit too strong for my taste.

Overall, Ripplewood is a lovely spot with a relaxed vibe and nice outdoor seating in the back. It’s a great place for drinks, small bites, and a chill evening out.“

“Amazing experience at Hideaway! Patrick was our server, he was exceptional with his customer service, very friendly and attentive! This place never disappoints, we love the food but the service this time was on point and by far the best we have ever had hands down! Thank you Patrick for your services, much appreciated!“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious! Service was amazing!“

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

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

“First visit. Great food and super service. We will be back.“

“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!“

“the bartender Rachael is so much fun!“

“It’s the night before Christmas. My family just went through a traumatic experience and had enough. My husband and I searched everywhere for a bar. This bar was the only bar open for miles. The bar tender was very friendly. Served me a double of what I needed to forget my troubles. They don’t serve food though. But that’s ok.“

“The honey soy garlic Korean fried Chicken was some of the best I have ever had, if not the best. The Banchan was very good. The Pickled Chayote and Radish (Mu) were the stars for me. The Kimchi was good, but a little too spicy for me (I should've put in on the grill and cooked it a bit). The corn-cheese sausage as amazing. The Brisket was amazing. Pork belly was very good too, but I wish they had some Shiso or Red Leaf, so I could make a ssam. The ssamjang was very doenjang forward. Not sure if they have more than one type, but I prefer mine with more gochujang. Overall, Pocha Street is a must try.“

“Great non-click bar. Large outside for summer partying with good bands. Dolan's participates and there's always good bands always a barbecue going“

“Good food and friendly staff“

“superbe endroit avec des gens tres sympathiques.. les personnes qui travaillent au bar son juste excellente j´ai passé 3 excellente soirées.. je recommande vivement.. alex la française..“

“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.“

“Best local spot in Delco!! Great bartenders, good times, fun atmosphere, and cheap drinks!! what more can you ask for?!“

“Had dinner there last night.The Salmon was awesome.Great service and nice atmosphere.The manager couldn't be any nicer.10 stars in my eyes.“

“George’s Bar in Claymont is another great no-frills dive bar done right. Cash only, cheap beer and liquor, and fast, friendly service at the bar. Exactly what you want from a true local spot.

The vibe is very close-knit with a lot of regulars, and everyone is welcoming the moment you walk in. It feels like a place where people actually know each other and are happy to have you join in.

If you’re looking for an authentic neighborhood bar with good prices, solid pours, and a laid-back atmosphere, George’s is a great choice.“

“Bestest personalized service! Highly recommend as a local hometown feel establishment.“

“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“

“Ive been to Tommy's several times..I Was just there Thursday night. Everytime I go there with my husband, nothing but good vibes, atmosphere..What bar anybody goes to, and the owner is always around..“

“great food great atmosphere best on main line“

“This place is quickly becoming my 'go to' bar spot. The food is amazing, the bar tenders are friendly and easy to talk to. It's a place where you don't get stared down when you walk in the door if you aren't a regular for years. Keep up the good work!“

“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!!“

“Always a good pint pour, highly recommended.“

“Mathews is the best bar. Sue is so lovely and gives the best experience ❤“

“I been going to Mickey's for over 30 years. I took my Sean to the dentist across the street. So I wandered in and all the friends I made back in the day were there and remembered me. The bartender remembered the day my wife Patrice died, I held her in my arms til her last breath. Her will to live was so powerful that she pulled the whole oxygen tent into her mouth.When she finally let it out that was it.I told everyone that I was staying. Eventually people stated to leave but I wouldn't let go of my precious girlI couldn't accept it. Our Heather finally had to leaveI stayed and held her until she lost all her color and turned to ice. I realized she was gone. And I finally could stop cuddling her like she loved.I walked out of that hospital in a trance. I drove down to Mickey's and walked in but I couldn't talk. The guys knew something was wrong. They were giving me space . I got a vodka and went to the front door to just gaze at the sky. The bartender came over and asked if I was alright. Stood in the doorway with me.Almost instantly the sky opened up and the fiercest hail storm We ever seen just came outta nowhere and everyone was in awe, gaping at the intensity and I turned around and said Patrice just died and these are the tears of heaven ? ?They were stunned, they all loved her!!Anyone that knew her loved her. You could not help it. I was the luckiest man in the world ⚘️ and suddenly she was gone. Beem 15 years and I still grieve.I cry every time I have to talk about her.ICry when I think about her. So today in Mickey's I was overwhelmed with emotions when they welcomed me and remembered that Hailstorm . I cried uncontrollable. I am just trying to get this out my friends. Sometimes it helps“

“Always helpful in many ways...good crowd...easy going...***** 5 stars !!!“

“I enjoy Mikey’s because it’s a very comfortable spot to enjoy good company and you can bring your own food And meet many friendly people It’s become my favorite spot on macdade“

“Great for a Sunday afternoon hang.“

“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.“

“If it’s a great cocktail or cold beer or great conversation then you should definitely try stopping by to meet the newest member of McBrides. Im Justine and I can’t wait to lift your spirits ?????come visit me on Monday night 6-2am or Saturday night 6-2am don’t forget all games we have free sausages and hotdogs . And all day and evening $2.50 cans domestic beer $3.00 bottles and imports $4.00 see you soon ?“

“Everything we had was high quality, delicious, and very affordable. Started off with the Buffalo Chicken Tots for the table and they were devoured in seconds. We had the Philly Dog, a Chicken Cheesesteak, Triple Decker BLT, and the Sausage Breakfast Sandwich and we were all very happy with our sandwiches!“
