“We plan trips to Philadelphia just to visit this amazing bar. We can’t oversell this…absolutely the best cocktails we have ever had. There are strict house rules for a reason and we appreciate that. Always a wonderful evening at Hop Sings. Leave your phones at home and enjoy the atmosphere and fine crafted drinks.“

“Tim is the friendliest bartender ever!!!!“

“So I had such a great time at this place it was super fun. The atmosphere was full of laughter, the drinks were super affordable and the bartender even gave my sis and I complimentary drinks. It was very diverse which I loved everyone was just having a good time, it was a night of complete fun. Also the Assman license plate is priceless I love Seinfeld“

“Friendly staff! Hostess was great as was our server. I only know she had a unique name. Not a large menu but what they do offer is amazing. Great atmosphere too!“

“Cute spot for a drink. Interesting mix of drink options and prices were quite reasonable for the area. The seating is a bit limited but we were lucky enough to grab a seat right by the bar. Bartenders were super friendly and quick. Didn't get any food but the sandwiches around us looked interesting and would consider coming back to try these.“

“I haven’t been here in a long time but just went for Saturday brunch and was super happy with my experience. The cheeseburger was simple, yet perfect, and a steal at $6. The service was great, the AC was amazing. Pricing on beer/wine was also really good! I plan on making this a regular stop!“

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.“

“We just love our new family restaurant! We get treated like family everytime we go!!!! The atmosphere is so cozy and the staff is exceptional. And let's talk about the food - it's absolutely to die for! The portions during happy hour are perfect and the prices are so reasonable.

But the best part? Let me introduce you to DAVID! He's the star of the show - always attentive, funny, and he makes drinks like a true master! Whenever I go, I insist on being seated with David.

They made our anniversary so special and they truly care about their guests' experience. We feel so lucky to have this gem in the neighborhood. I'd travel far and wide for this level of excellence!

Oh, and I can't forget to mention my favorites: The Good Good Things drink, the Buffalo wings during happy hour, and the amazing cheesesteak! And my kids absolutely love the huge, deep dish, extra cheesy pizza.

We're off to our reservation with David - can't wait! If you go, make sure to say hi to him and tell him Mink sent you!

Almost forgot the fresh house made potato chips!!!! So so so good!!! Don't skip them!

Kid-friendliness: Always awesome and patient with my kids!“

“First time there. It was awesome. Burgers are to die for!!“

“Als Touristen sind wir ohne große Erwartungen ins Dirty Frank's. Wir wurden im Prinzip am ersten Tag schon als Stammgäste angesehen. Ab dem zweiten Tag, fühlten wir uns auch so. Absolut super Service, sehr nette Menschen im der Bar. Coole Jukebox, günstige Getränke. Sollte es uns jemals wieder nach Philly verschlagen, wird Dirty Frank's Bar das Erste sein, was wir besuchen werden.“

“What an awesome place! Service rocks, food is amazing, and the beer selection is top notch. I can’t say enough good things about this bar, if you haven’t been yet you’re missing out.“

“food and drinks were great“

“I just joined Five Iron Fishtown and I love it. The location is great and I love the vibes of the inside. The hours are perfect as I generally go to use the simulators before work in the morning and work on my swing or play a round. I’ve also had a few lessons with Senior Golf Pro Matt Davis and I can already tell my swing has gotten better. With the technology they have and following Matt’s direction I feel like I’ll be performing a lot better once I get on an actual course. Highly recommend.“

“Great selection of beers you won't find on tap in many places. They also have an awesome vegetarian or vegan cheese steak!

Vegetarian options: Is an amazing vegetarian or vegan cheesesteak and a lion's mane crab cake style dish that I still want to try, among other attractive vegetarian options“

“Lots of Vegan options that are very tasty!“

“Let me start I did read all the bad reviews before heading over there so I didn’t have great expectations.However as a cheapskate and a craft beer lover especially searching for my lessor common styles of beer, I typically go by each bar and restaurant in airport and scan QR code to see beer selection and check pricing.Most places here in Philadelphia Airport straight rip off at 16 per pint, but when you want a beer you’re stuck. Anyway when I first approached the counter I was absolutely expecting to be poked since they didn’t show prices only beer menu.Luckily they had something for me that I was going to purchase regardless, A nice strong Golden at 8%.I was then blown away upon seeing I got a 20oz, normally higher ABV beers are served in smaller 12oz glasses. Any full pour of 20oz was only 10 bucks and I was expecting at least 20, left me room in budget to not only get 2nd beer plus a pretty solid hotdog and chips.Biggest plus was Connor the bar tender, was super cool and attentive, and then informed me I was safe to take my cup and walk back to my terminal, since I walked a fair distance just to check out all beer options.Lastly, unlike most other restaurants In airport it’s kind of obvious if your paying attention that their section is not owned and maintained by airport, as most restaurants have tables and chairs with chargers that kind of blend from restaurants into gates, so I kinda understand their right to ask people to patronize their business or ask them to leave, I was lucky to find a spot at the bar.Not excusing anyone ever treated rudely, and definitely not my experience.“

“Great atmosphere. Awesome staff. Of course, great drinks!“

“Our group had such a good time! It was my granddaughter's 12th birthday and we all had so much fun ! The staff was helpful and added to the fun ! We loved following the book and making our own potions ! The food was great, and the adult beverages were the best! These guys pay attention to detail and really care about your experience. And, of course the decor and atmosphere was purfect ! Thanks for a great day !“

“Vegetarian perspective

Unique vegan options that are so delicious and really highlight the produce! (Instead of using fake meats etc). They have some great menu items and seasonal specials.

Well curated drink menu with cocktails, craft beers and wine.

Nice dining experience with more laid back setting since they do have a TV at the bar.
But still cozy, candlelight, etc. great date spot!“

“great service and good food“

“The bayou basically birthed my child. I had their 25 cent wings every Monday and Tuesday leading up to my due date. I was actually in the bar when my water broke and the staff were so friendly and assisted me until my husband could arrive. Can’t wait for my little girl to try their food when she’s older!“

“I LOVE coming here for happy hour. They always have a good drink selection and it is usually not too busy unless there is a show nearby going on. I always get the thai chili wings, they are THE BEST wings I think I have had. I have also gotten their chicken sandwich and mac and cheese, which is amazing as well. I highly recommend visiting if you are looking for good food and drinks.“

“Bartender Bobby is great!!“

“Such an amazing view of the city! But they had a very limited menu for food. I wish there were a couple more options. Also we went in October and it got a little chilly on the roof. I was surprised that there wasn’t any heaters or blankets available to make customers comfortable. There also wasn’t any fall drinks/ warm drinks, I feel like that was a missed opportunity. Overall a nice time, but a couple things could have made it better.“

“I attended the Vinum Wines Slovenian Tasting & Meet the Winemaker event at Jet on a Tuesday evening. It was a fantastic experience! My favorite was the Grasavina Orange Blend.

Jet's GM Emily was so accommodating when I called in to ask about vegetarian options for the food pairing. The event was held out in their garden.

I can't wait to come back to Jet, whether it's for a tasting event or a visit to their bar.

Bonus point- it's a women owned business!“

“Delicious happy hour appetizers and exceptional alcohol free drinks. Relaxing atmosphere outside and sports on the large screens inside.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great recommendations by the bartender enjoyable food and electric atmosphere on Monday night - sax band were superb. To top it off super friendly to an out of town group“

“Ever since I set foot in The Bayou, I’ve been haunted by dreams of their wings. They’re not just any wings; they’re mystical, crispy, tangy bits of heaven that could probably solve world peace if given the chance. I’ve heard stories of philosophers pondering the secret to happiness—turns out, it’s right here on Monday and Tuesday nights for just 25 cents a wing.

The staff? Unbelievable. I was greeted at the door like a long-lost relative who had returned from a 15-year expedition to find the Holy Grail (spoiler: the Grail is made of chicken). Do yourself a favor and run—don’t walk—to The Bayou‼️‼️‼️“

“I've made some of my best memories at Dr. Thunder Karaoke! Super fun way to spend a night, whether via Zoom or in person.“

“Tasty tacos and tasty margaritas!!!“

“Great fun! Awesome music, cool crowd. Great place to dance and celebrate life!! Yummy drinks!“

“Cozy neighborhoods bat great staff. always going the extra mile for their customer's. rated mid level where the delight app could take them“

“Great food at a great price!!“

“Bartenders are great. Excellent beer!“

“Very great experience.
Came here for Brunch with a group of friends.
Victor, the bartender, was very personable and sweet!
The entire staff was welcoming & nice.

Great strawberry daiquiri reminds me of Mad Mex!

I will be back.“

“Great food and great people and drinks“

“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..“

“Been in here 3x on two separate trips to Philly. Same experience all 3 times. Excellent food prepared out front by a very kindly cook. Fantastic bartenders. Great conversation with strangers next to me (always stemming from the 10/10 great playlist going on the stereo). The atmosphere in here is so warm and cozy. I'm not a person who hangs out in bars but every time I come here I seriously don't wanna leave. It looks a little out of the way on the map from all the tourist stuff but it's not. 22nd is a nice street to walk down.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Flashbacks in Lester for their famous crabs, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The restaurant had a cozy, hole in the wall feeling, with friendly staff who made us feel right at home.

The star of the show, of course, were the crabs. They were fresh, meaty, and perfectly seasoned, making for a truly satisfying meal. The Old Bay seasoning was just right, enhancing the flavor of the sweet crab meat without overpowering it. The crabs were served hot and steaming, adding to the overall enjoyment of the dining experience.

In addition to the crabs, we also tried some of their other seafood offerings, including their pasta dishes which were equally delicious. The portions were generous, and everything was cooked to perfection.

Overall, I highly recommend Flashbacks in Lester for anyone looking for a fantastic seafood dining experience. The quality of the crabs and seafood is stellar. I will definitely be returning to Flashbacks in the future for more of their amazing crabs. Flashbacks also offer all you can eat crabs on Thursdays.

Vegetarian options: A few dishes

Parking: Parking was great“

“Kelliann's is the best city atmosphere you can get wide as the city is. If you see Maddy or John the bartender give them love because all they have to give is love to the people. Welcome to Kells vibes ??. A beautiful place with&for beautiful people. ???????“

“The atmosphere is fantastic, their people are simply great notably Marissa (who is wonderful), Elena ( who has great taste in cigars) and Shane(who has great taste in cigars & boots). They made my evening an enjoyable one and I highly recommend that you wind down at the bar after a long day visiting all the tourist locations in Philly. I spent less than $40 on drinks because I purchased my cigars downstairs at the cigar shop earlier in the day.“

“I am visiting from Dallas, and this bar feels like our neighborhood bars in Bishop Arts. Eclectic decor, super relaxed and inviting atmosphere, different regulars and Ryan (the delightful bartender) greeting each other by name, it was just great. And the area is super great too, lots of options for food, and parking wasn’t the nightmare fuel it was by the Liberty Bell. Will visit again on every trip!“

“I chose this place for a dinner choice at random. BEST decision ever! There is a dress code (nothing strict, just make sure you look neat and respectful). The servers are AMAZING. They’re very friendly, and helpful to you. The salad bar was beautiful. Lots of options there. Their meat options were of great variety and quality. I could not get ENOUGH of everything that they were serving ! Everything was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. I almost didn’t want to leave this review, so that I can keep this place to myself, but I have to give props where it’s due. It’s worth every dollar that was spent there, and it was very affordable. I will be returning again before the month is over! Thank you for the amazing food and great service !“

“Had a wonderful experience. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was delightful. Atmosphere was refreshing :)“

“Beautiful, even in the rain it felt like we were outside. Definitely go here for happy hour, it's Sampans outdoor space and they don't seem to do happy hour inside unless it's at the bar (maybe). Service was very quick for drinks and food, we went around 5 on Sunday and it wasn't too crowded. Korean BBQ Beef Satay is one the best things I've ever eaten.“

“We hosted our engagement party at The Mulberry in Philadelphia, and it was an incredible experience! Brynn, our event planner, was so helpful and attentive throughout the entire process. The event was a great success with 46 guests, and the atmosphere was perfect. Special shoutout to Dunbar, the bartender, whose great personality made the event extra special. I highly recommend The Mulberry for any special occasion!“
