45 Best Gastropubs in Philadelphia

“Best brunch in Philly! Everything is delicious!“

“I stopped by for Happy Hour and tried the Burger & Beer combo with fries, as well as a slice of plain Detroit Style pizza. Everything was decent but could have been better. The Happy Hour pricing for the combo is worth it but just don’t expect a spectacular burger and the best beer.

I’d say the pizza slice was a bit overpriced. It was a bit undercooked and a bit lacking in flavor from the sauce and cheese. Perhaps the dough could use more salt. The burger was more flavorful but the bun was surprisingly soggy a few minutes after it was served. This wasn’t detrimental but it’s an area to improve. It also seemed like the toppings weren’t as evenly dispersed as they could have been but maybe they were just easily moving around a lot. I’m not as familiar with beer but I think I’ve tasted better but I also wouldn’t expect better for a Happy Hour deal, so I’m not complaining at all. The fries were fine as well, a couple served soggy, not the best flavor, but passable.

The service was great. My server checked on me at timely intervals and gave me everything I needed.

The atmosphere offers a few different options which was nice. Even the outdoor area is on two different streets and one side tends to have a quieter vibe. I didn’t check out the upstairs or stay in the bar area, but those are also options.“

“My go to bar!! Baby the 50/50 burger and beef skewers on a Caesar salad are my favorites....good food, good vibes, I love how the owners are always friendly,welcoming, and present amongst the workers“

“The waffles with fresh homemade whipped cream, maple syrup and fresh, in-season berries at brunch 🤤. Had the fried catfish sandwich 9 months ago and I still talk about how freaking good it was. Also appreciate the nod to local Roxborough history on the menu ❤️“

“The food was amazing! And all these staff were so friendly and welcoming! And the vibe was so nice. We sat on the second floor, which was spacious, clean and beautiful. Cal helped us and they were so nice and patient. I’ll definitely go here again“

“We found this gem of a place by accident. Walking near our Airbnb while on a trip down from Canada to see our Flyers play. This is a local bar/restaurant but we were welcomed in and had a great time. Super friendly staff, service was fantastic. It was a great place to hangout. We will 100% add this place to our favourites and return when we are back down again for a game. We came mostly for drinks but one guy had their wings and said they were excellent.“

“Great atmosphere, good drinks always a good crowd“

“I watched the final week of the 2017 NFL regular season here, during which the Browns officially went 0-16 and the Bengals knocked the Ravens out of the playoffs on a Hail Mary to Tyler Boyd. Bills fans will certainly remember the latter. This was a pretty good afternoon of football, and Cavanaugh’s deserves some credit for it.“

“awesome band. Great service“

“Amazing food and service. Not a bad place to catch a game.“

“My son and I made a point to visit this Bar and Grill when holidaying through the USA just short of 12 months ago and are still talking about how great that night was. we have the same name but are not related and never been there previously but the welcoming and service from all concerned was outstanding.“

“We had a great time at Bonks.
The food was amazing and the service was perfect. The bartender was our server and he was on top of everything.
We had the Calamari, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, and the Fish & Chips and we were very happy and would order any of it again.
The Fish & Chips was a great portion size!
Can’t wait to try more menu items!

Parking: Had no trouble finding street parking on a Saturday night.“

“Nice friendly place great atmosphere“

“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. 😊😄😋💕💕“

“Showed for the home made pop tarts. It was so yummy! Will be back again when in the area.“

“This place is great! A wonderful place to let your dog socialize, as well as yourself. And if you don’t have a dog , come for the food, it’s all very delicious! 5 Stars“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious. Everything was so good.“

“Service and food was amazing! Highly recommended“

“We stumbled into this wonderful place cold, hungry and exhausted. The wonderful lady at the door, who turns out to be the owner, welcomed us with open arms and began to search for a table. We had to wait a few minutes so she got us 2 stools to sit on while we ordered our beer. Minutes later our table was ready! We ordered the Guinness Casserole and left nothing on that plate! She came over to check on us and saw that we had no soda bread and got us a plate full. We boxed a few pieces to take back with us to enjoy at breakfast. As we left we thanked her and I told her that everything was FANTASTIC and showed her the bread we were going to take home! She then took the box and filled it for us so we had enough for long drive home! I will come back anytime I'm in Philly. I have told all my friends and family to come here. It is a wonderful place. Live Irish music and extraordinary service. Thank you for your warm hospitality and delicious food and cold beer!“

“New Mike and John great friendly and interesting bar tenders. Burgers and fries bigger and better then pre pandemic. 2 thumbs up. Always interesting crowd and not pretentious. Good food and good service.“

“A wonderful spot to see intimate music shows. Great staff, menu and drinks. Just be prepared for the steep stairs that go up to where the music is on the second floor.“

“I came here a bit out of sorts after a personal setback. I needed help figuring out what to drink and a mixologist who I don’t think was on duty guided me to their special and it was such a good cocktail! The service and other customers were excellent. I hope to get back someday when I’m in this area.“

“The food and the service was top notch!!!“

“Great food and Great beer&drinks Very cool old building . Great staff!!“

“I moved to Port Richmond about six months ago and I have yet to find somewhere to satisfy me 100% That all changed tonight , I got the shrimp Alfredo entrée! It ended up being the most flavorful pasta dish I’ve had in a long time, thank God because I’ve been disappointed with every other place in the neighborhood. I’m smiling ear to ear over here with all these delicious appetizers as well!!! I’m so excited I felt that I should share publicly, which I never do. Do yourself a favor and order from Sean Thornton’s Public House right now!!!!“

“Biggest beer collection I’ve ever seen.“

“A must-visit anytime we’re in West Philly. Or U City. Truly a timeless gem!“

“Miss this spot. Hope everyone is well!“

“The Food here is phenomenal!! The best Blackened Chicken Cesar Salad on the planet!!! Trust me!!! This ain’t bar food!“

“My cousin and I were looking for a spot that was in between my suburban Philly home & her S.Jersey location. We asked Google for a great restaurant in Fishtown & they sent us here. WAY TO GO GOOGLE!! We shared 2 incredibly yummy & imaginative sandwiches (a phenomenal crabcake & a grilled goat cheese). Both were accompanied by delicious sides (fresh Caesar salad and fantastic fries). Sam was our server extraordinaire. Highly recommended that PHANTASTIC PHILLY PHIND!! We will be back❣️“

“My children love the Bourbon selection!💕“

Im his son and you might remember me. although I forget alot, I will never forget being behind the counter helping my dad with the ice. I would just like to reach out sometime to see if anyone remembers me- Quinn O'Neill“
