50 Best Bars near Norristown

“Family of seven ate there. Food was all so so good. Everyone was so friendly!“

“We showed up today a Steppys very skeptical because of name change. But all was good old Steppys. Michele the waitress was great, polite and professional, my service was perfect, my prime rib dinner was fabulous, so was the crab cakes, salad, mash tasters, and french onion soup. There was not even a wait to get in at 530pm. Been going here over 20 years and will continue.“

“This location is a lot of fun. Simple beverages; nothing special, but the clientele is steady. Not a group of children. Additionally conveniently close to a number of restaurants that deliver. Tabby and Miss Kay, the bartenders, are observant and keep everything tidy. No waiting around for service. good varieties of booze and take-out beer.“

“Muy buen servicio recomendado“

“Even when extremely crowded, there is kind staff on hand. Good cuisine (try the tacos! ), as well as fairly affordable drinks. a wonderful variety of imports and beers from throughout the world, especially IPAs. Simple to find and reach from outside the city. toilets that are tidy and maintained. Come with a friend and visit!“

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

“The food and good people!“

“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!“

“Such a friendly local Pub and beers are delicious!“

“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.“

“I enjoyed my burger and my beignets. I highly recommend this place.“

“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!“

“Jaeda the Bartender doesn't just give amazing service, she's also a certified Grizzly Bear Black Belt. Picture this: I'm leaving Panico's late one night, and i hear a strange growling noise. At first i was worried it may be my stomach, but then i recalled the decadent fries ala cheese Jaeda had made promptly and served me with good cheer. Alas, it twas not my intestinal dilemma, but a full grown King of the Forest! Eight terrifying feet of Ursa Major bearing down on me. All puns intended. Just as i thought i would finally learned the fabled mystery of where the bear defecates in the woods, who should appear across the threshold of Panicos entrance, but Jaeda, with twin Katana blades at the ready. Tonya Harding would be jealous of the grace and elegance of her as she sliced through the air and guts of the furry invader. After leaving the battered carcass of the bear strewn thither, she came back to me, covered in blood and bear feces. I was glad, for i was covered in my own, and soiled mine undergarments quite profusely. Jaeda offered me basketball shorts that are 2 sizes to big, and a Bird's Jersey, as is the custom of the region, and walked me safely to my chariot. Definitely try the cheesesteak!“

“Great food and drinks! Always consistently good.“

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

“Bartenders are great. Excellent beer!“

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

“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.“

“I love their food and drinks! It is very happening not only on the weekends but also on weeknights. I recommend booking a reservation ahead of time. Often the bar area is booked with private events. I’ve been there when there was three events going on at a time.“

“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.“

“I come here fairly regularly with my running group. This a great neighborhood bar, the owner is awesome and super friendly. The food is also better than you'd expect for a dive bar, but it still has the dive bar charm. This is easily my favorite bar up the hill in Manayunk“

“Gorgeous Venue comfortable & welcoming would definitely host another event there 🤩“

“The bartenders are on point, as is the pricing for anything outside of a private club. It's legit one of the last bastions of what a "corner bar" quintessentially is - afforable drinks, great service and interesting people. If the smoke isn't a deal breaker for you, stop in.“

“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.“

“Murphy’s Tavern is honestly one of my favorite local hangout spots! The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by super friendly staff who always seem happy to see you. They’re quick with service, always checking in, and just genuinely nice people who make the whole place feel really welcoming.

The vibe here is super chill — great for grabbing a drink after work or spending a weekend night out with friends. They’ve got games outside AND inside which makes it even better when the weather’s nice. It’s so fun to just hang out, play a few rounds, and enjoy the atmosphere.

The crowd is always friendly too, and there’s this nice community feel to the place that you don’t get everywhere. Between the good drinks, beer draft selection, great people, and the outdoor setup, Murphy’s Tavern is the kind of spot you end up staying at longer than you planned.

If you’re looking for a laid-back place with great service and a fun vibe, this is definitely it!“

“great food great atmosphere best on main line“

“A home away from home for Commanders fans living in Philadelphia. Old Bay is featured heavily on the menu, as it should be. They easily accommodated our walk in party of 14 and put up with us playing "Hail To The Redskins" on the jukebox repeatedly.

*To the couple Commanders fans who left negative reviews, that's not cool and you're missing the joke.*“

“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“

“Dear Broad Axe Tavern- Thanks for being our go to place for so many years. My wife and I had many impromptu dates and enjoyed being able to get good food at a fair price in our neighborhood. Please tell your dastardly landlords (who we are assuming drove you out) that they have a big hole to fill in Blue Bell. RIP #america'soldesttavern #TB12forever“

“I love this place and the owner! I've been coming here for decades. I'll be here Superbowl Sunday.“

“After meeting a client in Berwyn last night, I stopped into Casey’s Pour House for one of their famous roast beef sandwiches. I’ve tried a lot of great spots along the Main Line, but Casey’s in Berwyn continues to be my go-to. The food is consistently excellent, the service is quick, and the atmosphere feels like classic Main Line hospitality. If you’re looking for the best roast beef sandwich in Berwyn or a reliable local restaurant and bar in the Philadelphia suburbs, Casey’s Pour House is always worth the stop.“

“I was staying in Plymouth meeting for a few months from dallas for work and this place quickly became a home away from home. Was right after the eagles won the Superbowl and nobody gave me a hard time when I wore my cowboys gear in! Good friendly people. Reminded me of my little hometown bar back in Dallas. Great food too!“

“Fun night watching the Phil’s. Great food, drinks and staff! Bartenders were on point.“

“Nice summertime friendly atmosphere with live music, drinks and apps. Feels like your down the shore without the ocean.“

“Great for a Sunday afternoon hang.“

“WOW!!!! I was the first guest at GHAL after reopening, and it DID NOT disappoint!!! Great food ( awesome menu), great drinks, and UNBELIEVABLE service 🤙🤙🤙🤙 Thanks Patrick, DEFINITELY coming back soon 👏👏👏“

“Love the Shuffle! and the regulars. Reminds me of Cheers!“

“Smoking permitted. Limited grille menu, but prepared with care. Compact pool table. Digital jukebox. Cash only. It's a classic. Cold macro beer is on tap along with a decent variety of cans and bottles. Wild Turkey 101 and Tanqueray are cheap. Superb cheese steaks. Say hello to Steve for me. If you ask him nicely, he'll mix up a fine Manhattan or Gibson.“

“Great food and laid back atmosphere. Have been coming here for years.“

“Great fun and good. Would recommend this establishment for anyone looking to meet good people and have fun“

“My husband and I went here for the first time last week. The woman that took care of us was Lee. She was very inviting and kind. Our drinks were refreshing! When our food came out, everything was so fresh, hot and delicious!!! We had no wait time to be seated. The wait for our food after ordering was minimal. I wish we had come here sooner. We will be returning!“

“It is a nice bar where the staff and the customers are very friendly.The drinks are good as well.“

“If you are looking for a local divey bar this is it. Bartender was pleasant. There was a dart game in progress on the night we came. We were too late to order food but behind the bar and bar top seemed pretty clean. The booths near front entrance also looked recently re done. Even though we are not from the area- the regulars were welcoming.“
