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

“Excellent experience 10/10.“

“The food and good people!“

“We are working our way through Manyunk restaurants and Bar Jawn had some excellent reviews. It was much smaller than I expected but the Bourdain signs and country music told me we were in the right place. Cooper Sharp fried cheese squares with fresh sauce were outrageously good. Cheesesteak with Cooper sharp and cherry peppers did Philly proud. Loved the seeded roll too. Definitely will be back. Service was friendly and attentive. A really great Sunday afternoon.“

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

“Great food and drinks! Always consistently good.“

“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!“

“we have had multiple visits for dinner & enjoyed everyone since The Daisy Tavern has opened-
I have always known from our first visit i would like to have some sort of event held here- and it was perfect for our baby shower!!
the room, the food, the service was all 10/10! All of my guests kept complimenting the food and atmosphere the entire time! Melissa, Rochelle & staff were so attentive and kind, couldn’t have asked for a better baby shower!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Bartenders are great. Excellent beer!“

“Great neighborhood bar with pool tables, outdoor benches, lots of bar seats and tables. The bartenders are friendly even when it’s slammed on Saturdays or during games. I go weekly to hang with friends, watch the games, catch up with the neighborhood, and enjoy the friendly atmosphere. Wide range of people at the bar, it’s very welcoming. Highly recommend this gem!

$1.50 to play pool - put a quarter down on the table to play. Some people are more competitive but overall everyone is there to have fun!

Sometimes they have live music with local artists but just follow them on socials for postings, Wednesdays they have trivia, and they have weekly food deals.

Also I really like their fries.“

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

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

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

“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“

“No food just vending machine snacks they do allow you to bring outside food. The staff is always accommodating and friendly the fellow guests are always fun to be around too. Highly recommend they do have karaoke every other Saturday night.“

“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!“

“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!“

“great food great atmosphere best on main line“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you haven’t been to Angelina’s Restaurant yet, you’re missing out—this place is a gem our area has been waiting for.

The bruschetta paired with the shrimp scampi was absolutely out of this world—fresh, flavorful, and done to perfection. And the penne vodka pasta? Incredible. You can taste the quality in every bite.

What really sets this place apart is the experience. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the owner personally came out to check on us—which tells you everything about the pride they take in what they’re building.

This is the kind of spot you don’t just try once—you come back to again and again. So excited to have this right here in our community.

We’ll definitely be back… often. 🍝✨“

“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“

“Great for a Sunday afternoon hang.“

“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!“

“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 👏👏👏“

“For looking small on the outside it's quite spacious on the inside Big bar plenty seating seats at the bar bench tables on the side walls
They have security at the front door and a roamer
The hostess or manager is very personable.
I know that therapy and emotional support animals are limited to enter places. She was very accommodating for my medical dog to allow him to come in with me and place an order and I left Shirley after.
Food that I ordered was delicious and comforting.
Atmosphere was great they had a an amazing DJ.
I don't know if the prices for the drinks are price well or overpriced I didn't bother to purchase a drink. I did not want to overstep my accommodating welcome.
I would encourage others if they wanted to head out to a bar scene with live music to come here Friday nights. Very colorful atmosphere. Although I was a short stay I was still give this place nine stars out of 10.“

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

“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“

“Good local spot, friendly staff, pool table, music box. , good food“

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

“Tasty tacos and tasty margaritas!!!“

“Not my best visit here, the waitress was completely disinterested in my dining experience, long gaps between check-ins, never brought me napkins for my crab and speaking of my crab, it was missing a claw, I guess someone in the kitchen needed a snack.“

“Excellent menu, huge portions, amazing service and so reasonably priced!“
