Beautiful Bar. Ambiance was on point. Cocktails were not as well balanced or cold as I like but I will definitely be back to try the new coffee drinks as well as the food.

Nice place! We went on a Sunday at lunch! It was pretty loud in there but you can still hear the people you were with. The food did take almost an hour to come out but we had a mimosa tower so we didn't mindš¤£. When the food came out it was okay...I would go back

Blondie in Manayunk is easily one of my favorite spots in the area ā and a huge part of that is thanks to Andy, the manager. He goes above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome and taken care of. You can tell he genuinely cares about the experience, whether itās your first visit or youāre a regular. The vibe at Blondie is always on point, the food is top-notch, and the service is consistently excellent. If youāre looking for a great place to eat and drink, this is it. Big shoutout to Andy!

The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing Service was subpar.
We were here celebrating a birthday. Our party of 4 was told that we couldnāt sit at the booth , the booth was for a larger party. Mid way into our meal a family of 4 was seated at that very booth we were denied.
Now onto the food and drinksā¦ the drinks were good and strong. A member of my party never received the mocktail that she ordered. When we asked the waiter about it he said āthereās a party of 11 who all ordered mocktails, your mocktail was taken by mistakeā. At no point did the waiter try to correct the āmistakeā.
The food, letās talk about the crab cakes that were bite size for $32. The crab cakes were indeed an entree. The braised short ribs couldāve cooked a little longer. The mashed potatoes were good. The cheese steak egg rolls were ok. The deviled eggs were good. Honestly I would only go back for the drinks. Nothing else

It seemed like a nice place to have drinks. The esthetic was nice. We were a group of 4. We ordered drinks. We had to keep asking the waiter for the last drink. After the second time (20 minute gap between the first and second time we asked) he stated that they had a large party and they gave my drink to them by mistake. Cool. I cancelled the drink because at this point everyone else is done their drinks and almost finished their food.
The deviled eggs were good. Spicy and crunchy but I was prepared for that as it stated that in the menu. I was not prepared for the 3 crab cakes or tater tots ( because that was the size of the cakes) they brought out. I believe it was served with a pepper melody and arugula. I was not impressed. The cheese steak rolls were ok.
They did remove the items from the bill and I didn't eat anything else.
We took our friend out for her birthday and decided to split the bill 3 ways. There was a 1.5% service charge on each bill. I'm not sure if that was from us spliting it or what. That was not explained prior.
Tips starts at 20% and normally I'm happy to give a 20% tip but in this case...Issa no for me.
I personally wouldn't recommend this place for anything other then drinks (But what do I know I didn't get to eat or drink much).
I did have a $9.00 bottle of sparkling water. That was actually good as far as water is concerned. š¤·š¾āāļø

Food was absolutely amazing! Gatekeeping this gem to myself and will be a regular. Crab dip & Brussels sprouts are it! Crab and shrimp linguine a mustttt!!
Blondie is the kind of place you want to love. The vibe is cozy, modern, and welcomingāwhether youāre seated inside or outside on the patio. Itās spacious, stylish, and the staff has always kept a positive, attentive attitude during my visits!
On one occasion, we had an issue with how the food came out, and the manager stepped in quickly and professionally. He handled it with care, checked in afterward, and even threw in a few unexpected perks for the groupāwhich he absolutely didnāt have to do. That level of service genuinely stood out and made an impressionāitās the kind of hospitality that makes you remember a place.
The drinks are goodānot amazingābut generally well-made. I did try one of their specialty cocktails that missed the mark for me, though since it was a limited-time menu item, I wonāt hold it against them. What really impressed me was how management noticed and made the effort to ask what didnāt work about the drink and what couldāve been improvedāand then took action that same day to make it better. That kind of genuine attention and responsiveness canāt be taught.
Late night happy hour is a bonus! and itās a great spot to unwind solo, catch up with friends, or plan a casual date night.
That said, I do wish the food matched the energy. The menu leans āelevated comfortā, but it often lacks the bold flavor to carry that promise.
This place has everything else going for itāthe space, the vibe, the customer careāand it deserves a kitchen that brings the same level of thought and execution.
Also worth noting: the music during happy hour can sometimes be too loud or feel mismatched with the overall ambiance, which does shift the experience.
All in all, Iāll keep coming back for the drinks and the atmosphere. Just hope the food catches upābecause with a few tweaks, Blondie could be a well rounded hangout spot.

The service was amazing. The staff and manager were attentive to our table and got our order right the first time. The menu had a good selection of brunch items. The apple fritters were bomb! The food could have been great but it needed some seasonings. I had crab omelet that was begging for Old Bay, it was alright though.
