50 Best Bars near Oreland

“Great place to watch the game! Terrific staff and good food!“

“Killer cocktails! We will be back!“

“Claire was awesome upstairs at the bar!!! Her recommendations were amazing for food and spirits!“

“Nice little spot, with nice energy. It can be a little tight inside, but given the shape of the building, it's to be expected. Though some people say the portions are small, I felt they were adequate and not dissimilar to say Bastia. I'm not a huge oyster person, but the recommendations were very good, especially paired with the zhug. Everyone we interacted with was lovely, but we were especially appreciative of Jordan, who gave us the majority of our recommendations.

We ate:
- psychedelicate
- stony shore
- bad boys
- broccolini caesar
- yellowtail pastrami
- crispy butterflied trout
- baby back ribs“

“Wow what a great place! Great atmosphere, good food & the best beer on tap!! Highly recommended!“

“When there are no events, a great place to decompress. Staff are friendly and take care of you. The burgers are banging, the beers are icy breezy and the frozen bacardis are a vacation at home. Stellar staff as always.“

“Food is great. Good spot for a quick dinner at the bar or taking your time with friends at a table. Haven’t had any cocktails here but the beer selection is solid and the bartenders are friendly and know what they’re doing. Amazing neighborhood spot that I’m glad to see back open after COVID. I only wish I could make it more often!“

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

“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!“

“Under rated. Selfishly kinda hope stays that way, so can continue to enjoy a chill bar where can actually have a conversation without yelling over uninspiring music like half the places in the area, but want them to do well - so tell your peeps...the ones you actually like“

“Really like this place. Have been coming for a few months now. They make a good drink and the food is great. Love the chicken quesidillas! The staff is friendly and attentive. The size of the bar is really big, with lots of room for the tables, too.“

“What I love about coming into Jamison Pour House is the local vibe, the friendly owner Dan, the camaraderie, and awesome food and drinks! Those Fries Though... 😍“

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

“This is our new favorite spot to grab a cocktail. They have a wonderful selection of craft cocktails, mead, beer, and wine. Bartenders are very friendly and always happy to recommend a good selection if you aren’t sure. The atmosphere has a great vibe and I always love the music selections on their playlists. Jenkintown has a few nice BYOB restaurants so this is a great place to stop for drink beforehand or nightcap afterwards. It really rounds out the evening!“

“Great place, selection of spirits and the food is outstanding! Check out the bartender Eddie, that's my guy“

“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!“

“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.“

“what a great place with delicious drinks and a wonderful tour.“

“I visited Port Richmond Pub in Philadelphia and thought it was a classic neighborhood bar with a welcoming, friendly vibe. Locals and newcomers alike stop in for cold beers, cocktails, and a relaxed atmosphere that feels like a real hometown spot.

The drink selection is solid, with a mix of domestic and craft beers plus spirits that pair well with tasty pub food — people especially like the cheesesteaks and cutlets when they’re there. The staff are known for being friendly and attentive, which makes it easy to settle in and enjoy the place for a few hours.

Port Richmond Pub also hosts fun events like bingo nights, which adds a lively, community feel to the experience. It’s the kind of bar where you can grab a drink, eat well, and chat with locals — great for a casual night out.“

“Excellent experience 10/10.“

“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!“

“Cheesesteak tots were so good. Woke up in the middle of the night thinking about them“

“Dawn and Keith are wonderful providing great service. The brisket tots are amazing! A great place to see live music.“

“Always a good time. Bartenders are attentive and friendly.“

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

“Bartenders are great. Excellent beer!“

“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.“

“Great wings and beer selection. Cool atmosphere during Red October. Great bartenders and food servers. All around outstanding local pub“

“The Bridesburg Pub for years is a fun place to go. There is always people that you know in there. This particular late day into night visit was awesome with our bartender, Tony, who we were all meeting for the first time. He was very friendly, attentive to our drinks, just a great guy!. My girlfriend and I were on a Chambord kick and I was impressed that they had that liqueur and Tony was no stranger in making my Chambord Sours and Debbie’s French Martini’s.

Parking: We found spots right by the Bridesburg Pub. It was Labor Day Weekend also.“

“My wife and l went last night. Great little bar. Great burgers and fries. The collectibles in the shadow boxes took me back to my childhood. Great vibe. Low key. Great beers. Coming back. Oh yeah, they have board games.“

“Wife and I Need to get out the house for an hour so we looked up a few bars and decided Atlantis it is ( she loves aquaman ) We Had A Long Island And A Old Fashioned. Great Place to Be When Along Frankford Ave. Bartender One Reminds Me Of A Slim Rob Zombie and Great Convo From Here. Bartender Two Was Great With Kinder Minis and Lay's Chips For A Snack from His Personal Stash lol. Phillies Gane Was On Vs Brewers and Got To Educate WIFE On Baseball Along With A Long Time Fan Amy Expalining To Her Also. Oh Yea It's A Big Fluffy Dog That Loved To Be Petted While We Were There. I Highly Suggest Atlantis! Get Up And Get Out The House Come Here“

“We had brunch at StarBolt for Easter. Their brunch is a recent addition so it want crowded. Food was great. I had the breakfast platter which was very good, the bacon and the potatoes especially! My one son ordered the French toast which was delicious!! Our server was extremely attentive and interested in getting honest feedback!“

“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“

“TonyFern vs a bit of a vv. c. xx xo“

“This place is cool! Our band played there with one other band, and the sound was amazing! The atmosphere is super-comfortable. Just like a neighborhood hangout spot with pool tables, darts, lots of TVs with the game on. Real wood paneling - like a really welcoming, homey feel. All decorated for the holidays. You can just relax right into the place. And Archie is the coolest. The soundman and the bartender also were both stellar. Just a really cool place.“

“great food great drinks good service“

“I love this bar. It was my go to for years and I visit every time I come home to Philly. I was a bartender here for several years when it was Dakotah's and loved working here. Sadly my friend had her purse stolen from here on Friday night. Pretty disappointing. Keep your eyes on your belongings when hanging here late night.“

“Visited this place yesterday for the first time with a friend and the service was great Angie was very welcoming and attentive the drinks were great and so was the vibe I will definitely be coming back. I absolutely loved it here , thank you Angie for your service“

“nice people good atmosphere just did all around great time!“

“I am amazed to have discovered this incredible pub right in my neighborhood, where I've lived for over 20 years. Surprisingly, I had no idea it was here, despite the fact that it has been around for more than 12 years. While passing by, I always knew it was some sort of bar, but in the last three years, it has undergone a significant renovation and has been transformed into an exceptionally nice pub and restaurant with expanded outdoor seating and a spacious outdoor hall. The photos and videos truly capture the atmosphere.

On Christmas Eve, my son and I decided to visit the pub in the early afternoon to grab a bite to eat. Many places were closed, and I had always wanted to visit since seeing the renovations. The Christmas spirit was alive as people were enjoying themselves, despite it being Christmas Eve and not overly crowded. Our server, Faith, who warmly greeted us and seated us, was absolutely delightful. She had a great personality and was extremely helpful with the menu, especially since I am vegan. Faith offered some wonderful suggestions. I ended up ordering a veggie pizza with a fantastic crust, homemade tomato sauce, sautéed spinach, broccoli, onions, garlic, herbs, and spices.

As someone who has been a professional chef for over 10 years and has been in the food industry for almost 35 years, I usually have certain expectations when it comes to pub or bar food. However, this exceeded my expectations. My son ordered poutine fries with tender short rib meat, mozzarella cheese, and gravy on crinkle cut fries, and he loved it. I opted for old bay fries which were spot on. The condiment tray was a nice touch, with salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic right on the table.

The atmosphere of the pub is delightful, tastefully decorated, comfortable, and the people are friendly. Despite my busy schedule, which involves visiting around 10 restaurants a week, I look forward to returning to this place. It is right around the corner, making it very convenient for me. The pub is on its way to greatness, and I believe further detailing the menu with descriptions, ingredients, and cooking techniques would make it even better. The transformation of good places into great places often lies in such attention to detail.

In terms of the neighborhood, I have lived in the Harrowgate section of Philadelphia for over 20 years. When I first moved here, it was a challenging neighborhood plagued by poverty, crime, and drug addiction. However, the street I live on and the neighborhood itself are home to wonderful people. The community is diverse, with a large Latino population, African-American, Irish, Polish American, and European American residents. Prior to living here, I resided in Fishtown, which had similar circumstances but has flourished in the last 15 years with new development and businesses. This same revitalization is now occurring in my current neighborhood.“

“McKinley Tavern is one of those spots that just gets it right every single time. From the moment you walk in, you’re hit with that unmistakable Philly sports vibe, TVs buzzing, fans locked in, and that perfect mix of energy and comfort that makes you want to stay for hours. But what really sets this place apart is the people. Chy and Kelsey are absolute standouts, those warm, genuine smiles make you feel like a regular even if it’s your first visit. They’ve got that rare ability to keep things fun while staying on top of everything, and it elevates the whole experience.And let’s talk about the drinks, these are not your average pours. We’re talking hard-hitting, expertly made hood cocktails that don’t mess around. Whether you’re celebrating a win or shaking off a tough loss, McKinley Tavern delivers exactly what you need.Great vibes, even better service, and drinks that come with a punch!“

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

“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'd say I've been coming here for just over 20 years now. I enjoy the people and the atmosphere here. It is a beer and shot bar, the bartenders are friendly and attentive, the food especially the homemade soups are great. You can always meet up with friends or make new ones and have a good time, nice shuffle board, shuffle bowl, and slot chance games here great selection of music on the jukebox. Drinks are affordable and the place has been here over 50 years.“

“It was kinda dead on a Wednesday, but after 3 bars and getting hungry stopped at Cheers Cafe on Westmoreland st in Port Richmond...for a pint...early enough they served food. Had a pint and some soup and OMG!!! Soup was amazing..made from scratch and was freaking delicious. Didn't even want to drink anymore wanted to just keep eating...Ordered crab balls to go...he he he!!! Then ordered whatever they had left with the soup...I am so enjoying my day off with the soup!!!! DEFINATELY A PLACE TO STOP FOR FOOD...SO YUMMY!!!“

“I went in the other night like usual, got my beer and sat down, a guy walked in and assaulted the cook, and he still made everyone’s food. I asked him how his face was and all he said was “as long as the food was good”
Ten out of ten“

“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 quick bite with my fiancé and the food was delicious! Bartender was friendly and the the food came out fast! We will definitely be back.“

“Great spot. Smoking allowed.“
