50 Best Beer Bars in Philadelphia

“Beautiful atmosphere , fun foods with great flavor“

“It was alright, no complaints other than the sandwich being under seasoned. I heard a lot about this place but can't say it lived up to expectations. Not that it dissapointed either, just fell somewhere in the middle for me. Maybe I just visited on an off day but for the price I don't think I'd go back.“

“The food and service were outstanding and the ambiance was perfect for our Anniversary dinner.“

“This restaurant is a love letter to food. The service was amazing, the ambience was fantastic, and the food was some of the best I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing in Philly. My gf and I stopped during a busy Friday service and got seating right away at the bar with full menu available. I hope every employee here is shown gratitude for the excellent restaurant they are running. We will be back many more times!“

“We had a great night at the Meetinghouse. Great atmosphere on a Thursday night. Place was buzzing. We had some super food, a small menu but perfect. Kinda like tapas if you want to share. Tried the mystery wine, a gamble that didn't pay off for us, it was like a fruit wine. Safer with the white. Staff and service were excellent. Friendly place and enjoyed chatting to some locals. Worth a visit and glad we searched it out.“

“Wowww!! The pizza is so fresh & flavorful!! The dough & sauce were delicious. Pizzas are small only 12’ I’m assuming its because they have a smaller oven but definitely the best pizza in Chestnut Hill by far! Check this place out!“

“Capped off the end of our vacation with wonderful dinner here. Raluca the hostess and Cosmin our server were so accommodating and friendly. Our food and wine were beyond excellent and showed the true skill of the chef. Thanks to all for the best way to end our vacation!“

“great service and good food“

“Stopped by Superior yesterday after a hot, dusty day at the Conshohocken Mill! Ran into your tasting rep and loved your product 💯👍“

“This brewery has some of the best beer in the states in my opinion.

We have been to over 100 breweries and its not uncommon for us to find one amazing beer or good all around but its rare to find a tone of amazing beers and that is what we found.

Orange crush beer was amazing and if you like hazys with a very fruit forward taste (like me) this would be right down your ally.
The Peanutbutter porter had great smooth peanutbutter taste without bwing overwhelming or too sweet. I think peanutbutter is perfect for porters and this is a prome examplem. Also i am really bias tword draft over canned but the pog sour was the best sour i have had in a long time. The perfect mix of sweet and sour with deep passion fruit and orange flavors.

The staff is also phenomenal. Great with recommendations, super friendly and generous with samples. We talked to some of them for a long time while it was slower.

The atmosphere is pretty great too. Huge bar island with good seating, and plugs that makes it easy to talk with people. The obey thing with the bar I would change is how close the chairs are. They were almost all touching so getting in is tricky.

The internet was actually pretty good here too. We worked here for a few hours on a weekday and it was fast and quiet enough to work (though gets a bit louder later)

I will be back whenever I can and if I ever live in philly again this will be my spot.“

“stop by curious of good burgers !! found GREAT burgers and FANTASTIC people! now Wolf Burger is my reg. Friday stop @ 👍🏻😋❤️“

“The food and service were outstanding and the ambiance was perfect for our Anniversary dinner.“

“Great dive-ish bar whose Sunday Happy Hour (5-7) is taking on legendary status. Great craft beer selection and interesting cocktails. Friendly place. Highly recommended.“

“Cheap beer, outside TV’s and pub fare.“

“Jaffa is redone into a stunning venue for great food and excellent service. 3 of us shared several dishes from the Cold and Hot sections of the menu; each of which was a creative bundle of flavors that looked beautiful and tasted great. Our server, Jose, provided excellent service, knew the menu and the wine list well, and guided us to make very good choices based on our interests and preferences. It was a great experience.“

“Pretty good selection of beers and there are more than enough TVs to tune in to watch whatever local game you’re trying to catch. I think the service could be a bit better but other than that, it’s a fine little watering hole for locals.“

“The only reason I have one star on food was because when I got thAre the food wasn't open. I asked the staff and they made it sound like food guy was away for the weekend. I went across the street to grab a cheesesteak for dinner than came back..I had another great time thare watching the Phillies baseball game but when it became later In the night the food stand did open up. Please keep staff up to date on food stand service schedule.“

“the food was excellent and the service was wonderful and everyone was friendly they are a 10 all the way around definitely going back“

“Loveee the Fishtown Garage, especially Christina at the door - she brings such a vibe as soon as you walk in and feeling of safeness to the bar. Also, obsessed with Mike at the bar, such fun, caring employees that makes me love coming multiple times a week.“

“Great place and great pizza!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I ain't a drinker I was told to bring some beer for the Cookout I was invited to this Beer Place here these people are quick in and out on the Money it's clean and they'll call the police if anyone decides they wanna hang out in or outside of the Property Making there Customers safe 5 Stars ?“

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

“I had a blast at Jaxx!! The food was so delicious and everyone who worked there had great energy!! Pregame was a lot of fun with great live music. Highly recommend Jaxx for friends and families needing a fun night or day out to eat and watch Philly’s sports!!“

“The food and drinks are good“

“CBC has become a staple in the community. Since their opening, their presence as a location where you can ALWAYS find something great to eat coupled with cool employees has always been felt. Love the location, vibe, and most importantly the food. Please keep up the great work and adding great items to the ever growing menu.“

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

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

“Great service, food and drinks. Dylan was our bartender and server. On point with everything, friendly and accommodating. We will be back!“

“Was there last night for early dinner and stayed to see the Eagles first TD. Food was fresh and extremely tasty. The vibe here is great. The service was excellent. Our server, Max, was very personable and gives very good recommendations. Max is not the only server like this. It seems to be the culture there. They have a lot of loyal customers. When we left the was a couple looking for a place to eat and watch the game. I quickly recommended Glory. If in Old City and near Chestnut and 2nd give them a try. You won’t be disappointed.“

“I attended a recreational employee dinner hosted by my boss to lift morale. Most of us never heard of this bar/restaurant. I was intrigued since our company is a high end restaurant in Chestnut Hill. If the owner and former head chef picked it, it must be good, right? HELLZ YEAH!!!!!! The drinks were potent and yummy. The mac & cheese with brisket was sublime!!!!! The grand entrance of the 6ft (?) cheesesteak with fresh cut sweet potato waffle fries were spectacular. SPARKLERS!!!!! The garlic parmesan wings were super. The nachos were on point, light & crips, not stale or greasy. My ONLY disappointment which was shared with another friend at the party were the baby back ribs. We loved the sauce- just right, not too spicy/hot with tangy gooey yummyliciousness. However the ribs themselves were MOSTLY BONE. It was basically use licking the sauce and the few bits of meat off the top. It was hard to even find any separation to cut it to get the meat in between. I wish they offered SPARE RIBS which usually have more tender, juicy meat on the bone. Cause I LOOKED at the menu before ordering the baby backs. Hell, they coulda just put BBQ sauce on the brisket and I would have had a foodgasm. Maybe I'll do that next time on my own. That said, I will definitely go there again but I will never order the ribs. There are so many other perfect food offerings to keep me happy that I ain't mad, LOL. Also, the TVs provided viewer ankles for everyone regardless of where they sat. And the bar stools were COMFORTABLE too. Our waitress was attentive and professional but not aloof. The bartenders helped us out too with friendly responses. I apologize because I forget their names. After all, I was so snookered from the booze, I am happy that I still remembered to give this review. It's 3 days later and I am still thinking about the dinner. Give it a try! Many of us took SEPTA, its easy to get to from bus, subway, regional rail and cost less to PARK in Center City. That said, SEPTA getting ready to go on strike so...... don't care how you get to Tradesman, just TRY IT OUT!!!!!!!!!“

“This is much more affordable than Queen and Rook in terms of board game cafes. There weren't many food options that I cared for. And one of my mates that I came with got some very rubbery chicken. However they remedied that situation so service points went up. Not as many game choices as Q&R but still fun.“

“Wonderful Valentine’s dinner!“

“Parkway Corner Deli is a reliable modern deli with a great selection of breakfast sandwiches, hoagies, snacks, and drinks. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite in the morning or picking up something satisfying for lunch, they’ve got you covered. The shelves are stocked with all kinds of chips and snacks, and there’s a nice variety of beers and sodas to go with your meal. Definitely worth stopping in if you’re nearby.“

“First time visiting this location and Greg behind the bar was simply amazing. Warm and welcoming very knowledgeable and created a great experience! Employees creat an experience that make even the best beers just taste that much better! Thanks for the good convos and cold beers🍻🍻“

“I love this bar. The service is great! The bartenders are amazing. Especially Misty!! I made a great friend by going here on Friday afternoons when I go to meet my boyfriend on Fridays after work. We always have their food. Pork sandwiches and roast beef sandwiches are delicious. The owner is a great guy and always makes you feel at home as soon as you walk in Cherry Street!!’ I also love their music. They play all the old classics and some recent stuff as well.“

“Lots of beer options. Friendly staff and management“

“Great vibe & food! We were welcomed enthusiastically, and the burger, cheesesteaks, and pizza were fantastic! Keep it up!“

“Really solid brewery. We came here for a midday drink to do some work on a Sunday and it was super quiet. The space itself isn't huge but there are plenty of tables and table options. Bathroom area is quite large. The draft menu is fine, always on the hunt for IPAs and the 6 feet below was much better than the hazy IPA (the latter of which I didn't care for). Service was incredibly friendly and attentive. Easy parking nearby and overall a very accessible experience. We didn't order food but those that did smelled tasty. I don't know that I would specifically come back for the beer but if you're looking for a place to hang out it's definitely a great option.“

“great place! great crowd, great atmosphere , great staff! and they have beer flights! what more could you ask for! haven't been here in years and I'm definitely going to frequent this place a lot more“

“If you haven’t tried the “rolls,” you’re missing out. Take it from a dude with moobs. I know good food. I f$cks with food. The cheesesteak rolls are delicious to the point of ordering an extra one because you’ll be mad you didn’t get another one. The salmon rolls are, again, one of the reasons Chase’s is a little gem. It’s what makes Philadelphia a city claim passionately. This food is made with love and I love this food!“

“Awesome selection of beer, found all the beer I was looking for..

Appreciate the beer advocate ratings being included in the refrigerator, I'd come with a list in my head, but this would make it easy to pop in and try something new.

Will be back!“

“Tina is the name of the woman behind the counter and she is awesome lol not only can u buy take out beer and food Togo (ny burgers are my go-to) in thr back u can be buzzed through to a bar like area with plasma tv screens and a jukebox this is the best ducky spot I've been to in years“

“I have been coming to Freddy & Tony's since i was born! As soon as you walk in they make you feel like your family. If you do not speak Spanish or know how to read Spanish that is not a problem here their menu is biligual, and so are the staff. This place is were I go to get a home style meal from the islands. My favorite is their sweet plantain, stewed chicken, arroz con gandules, and salad(***put oil and vinegar on it not salad dressing it cuts the fat from the food you're eating to refresh you pallet). They have tons of options to choose from too, just know that if you going here on a Saturday or Sunday be ready for a crowd because this is THE best place to go for Puerto Rican food in Philly!“

“Thank you to everyone at Cosmic Cafe for great food at fair prices and ALWAYS a warm welcome. A special thank you to Adam for going out of his way to greet my son today.“

“First time there, went thanks to Diner Drives and Dines recommendations. The WIT was so good. Atmosphere and service was awesome.! Love the vibe there. We will be back!“

“awesome food, awesome bartenders, absolutely fun! Wednesday is bingo night. come on out!“

“Beer and pizza in a nice atmosphere at its best“

“I was there celebrating my brother’s birthday and they accommodated our family quite well with a large group setting by a window! Lovely waitress who was quick and very attentive to everything we needed. I would definitely recommend it to any visiting Mt. Airy. 😊😄😋💕💕“

“Great food, great drinks, easy-going atmosphere. Perfect spot for dinner before a show.“
