“My friends & I (party of 10) met at Capone's on Sunday, March 24, 2024. We were set up in a room that made it very easy for us to talk with each other while we ate. The menu gave a lot of options for all of us, the service was outstanding, and we were not rushed. Most of us had never been there before, but we all agreed how much we liked it, & we plan to do it again.“

“When I came in, I was lucky to have Gianna as my server not only amazing and polite, but she was very personable making great recommendations and making my dining experience amazing. Not only will I be back for the food, but most definitely will be back for the excellent service.“

“Taylor the best bartender they have!!! Always smiling and know what you’re drinking!!!“

“My second time at the establishment and it was just as excellent as my first. For me, hands down the best Manhattan in Philadelphia. And it was as good as my first.

I only ate French fries at my first visit having brunched earlier in Manayunk and they also were just as delicious. The Taphouse bacon burger was divine. Just the best mix of crispy edges, gooey cheese, fresh & delicious tomatoes (rare for January in the NE! ) and possibly a common , happy problem to have, SO much food. I enjoyed every bite & sip & our server for a fair sized group of more than 15 was friendly, efficient and very well organized.“

“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!“

“I use to play pool when I was younger. It was great times. Since they took the tables out im only in there 2x a year.

Excellent service. Didn’t get the gentleman’s name but receipt said Bar Down 1“

“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.“

“Great food and service. Patti was our waitress and was just fabulous.“

“Wow, what a find. Very good food and service by Demitrius was outstanding. I forgot my hat and he tracked me down two blocks away at the ice cream shop to bring it back to me! We will be back. We had Salmon BLT, Fish Tacos, and Hot Turkey Sandwich, all were excellent.“

Delish food, super friendly staff, welcoming diner! And clean. Keep it up Andy’s, great job. Lastly and most importantly…Vanessa/Miss V is the best. Wonderful service, Miss V!!! Thank you.“

“We went to karaoke on Friday and it was an amazing time! Definitely check it out! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and amazing DJ!“

“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“

“Not a busy night but Jennifer gave us a late date that we could make and we reciprocated by sitting down upon arrival rather than enjoying some bar time.The entire staff worked together to make it feel unrushed, and we had a much needed relaxing meal in a family environment.“

“We had a 90th Birthday Party for my dad there! The food & service were great. The staff was helpful & accommodating! Would highly recommend! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“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!“

“From the moment we walked in tonight, this place absolutely delivered. The atmosphere was on point great energy, packed but not overwhelming, and you could tell right away it’s a spot where everyone feels welcome.

The drinks were perfectly made (not skimpy either 👌), and the staff was next-level attentive without hovering. Every recommendation was spot on.

But what really made the night stand out was the owner. You don’t see this enough anymore hands-on, walking around, checking on guests, making sure everyone was having a great time. You can tell this isn’t just a business to them — it’s personal. That kind of leadership shows in every detail, from the service to the vibe.

Places like this are rare. It’s not just a bar — it’s an experience. We’ll 100% be back and will be telling everyone we know.

Keep doing what you’re doing. Absolute class.“

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

“We recently hosted a surprise party at the 1750 Grill inside the Holiday Inn Kulpsville, and our experience was wonderful from start to finish. The staff was extremely responsive and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. They were flexible with everything we needed and even helped come up with solutions so the event could run exactly the way we envisioned.

One of the things we appreciated most was how they allowed us to use the room freely as long as we took care of it. They really let us “do our thing,” which made the setup and overall flow of the party so much easier and more enjoyable.

The space itself was perfect — private, with doors we could close so the event felt intimate and just for our group. Their pricing was also very reasonable, especially considering the level of service and the quality of the venue.

Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would absolutely recommend the 1750 Grill for anyone looking to host an event. The combination of flexibility, great service, and a private, comfortable space made our surprise party a success!“

“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.“

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

“A friend and I went to The Greeks to watch the Phillies game and one of the worker that was behind the bar were being RUDE to us. We were sitting at the bar and (not even) 4 minutes into the game. He come to us and said; if you guys going to sit here, you have to order, than he added, I’m being serious. My friend and I both know that, but he DID NOT have to be rude about it by adding “I’m serious” at the end of that statement. Before the game even started, I told the other worker that was behind the bar that I would order a few minutes into the game.“

“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.“

“Love the atmosphere! Good food, great service! Fun place to be and celebrate!“

“Corner pub- met the Chef - Rube from west philly like me , lived near Jim’s steaks
He nailed it- made his own bread - hard seeded and the steak and cheese and onions were great
He said only 5% can eat the whole thing - we agreed- leftover for lunch
The fries were crinkle fries and were also awesome
Beers on tap maybe 20

Great place to hang out and eat/drink“

“The food there is amazing my favorites are the pizza steak the cheese fries and the Parmesan wings“

“Wonderful, friendly Irish Pub. Ray the bartender is so amazing! Knows my name and makes a great orange Jameson and cranberry. We will be back!.“

“One of our many favorite spots in Ambler. Hosted my birthday on New Years Eve. They were very accommodating. Great staff and atmosphere.“

“Fantastically fun atmosphere. It is the "must visit" destination in the area. Great food, drinks, and service. A good place to watch a game! The owners are incredibly dedicated people. You won't be disappointed.“

“Fun place with very good food!“

“Was here before, but not recently. 5 of us met for some food and drinks. The nachos and buffalo chicken dip apps were good. I had the brisket tacos and they were fair. The meat was good, but not much overall flavor.
I would go back if we were going to meet up in the area again, but I would try a different entree.“

“food and service was very good.“
