Our server was nice. Good Morning Burger was meh. Fries were fantastic but the serving size was so small!! I went with a group of 7 and the restaurant was EMPTY and they didn’t want to sit us together and made us split up. Like I get it it’s a small restaurant but all they had to do was push two tables together and move some chairs because the restaurant was empty. I don’t see myself going back but if I do it’s gonna be for takeout on the fries. Overall all though don’t recommend.

Good space, but I had a miserable experience. My burger was soggy - i took two bites and simply stopped eating. I waited 15 minutes before anyone asked how I was doing. They apologized.

Have been seeing this place for a few years now and, instead of us going to our normal choice of Urban, we decided to finally give this place a try. We went on a Tuesday night and it was overcrowded but wasn't empty either - there were a good number of people there for dinner. We initially sat outside since it was a nice night, but moved in since it started drizzling and we didn't want to get caught in any more rain if it came down.
We expected inside to be bigger than it was, but it did have a good number of tables and bar seating. The lighting and decor were nice - have like modern, chic nautical feels. For you meal we shared the Mozzarella Sticks as an app, he got the Fish and Chips while I went with the Chicken Sandwich with the Pier sauce. The waitress said the sauce was like Chick-fil-A sauce and I thought she was making a loose comparison but, honestly, it really did taste like Chick-fil-A sauce but slightly more rich in flavor. And as someone who doesn't prefer fries, these were delicious! My boyfriend said he really enjoyed his meal as well. Truly enjoyed the drinks and appreciate the nice pours of tequila shots.
Glad we finally have this place a try. Recommend checking em out and, because it's close to us, sure we will come here again.

I met some girlfriends for happy hour and then got dinner with my partner after. It was a great atmosphere with well priced happy hour deals. The ricotta toast was the same portion for the happy hour price that it was at the regular dinner price, which was nice to see. I hate when places run happy hour deals that are just smaller portions and not actual deals. They will also make any of their cocktails as mocktails for a reduced price, which I appreciate. I got the fish tacos and my partner got the fried chicken sandwich. Both were good, and notably the fries were much better than the fries at IOS even though it is the same owners that run both restaurants.

Nice atmosphere but average cocktails, below average service, and bad food. I got the caesar salad with fried chicken - overdressed old lettuce and microwaved frozen fried chicken. My boyfriend got the white mussels which he couldn’t eat half of because they were overcooked. Server couldn’t care less about our existence. Probably won’t revisit.
Had the best time here the food and drinks are absolutely amazing could not recommend this place more and Emmy is the best 10/10. The lobster roll is a must.

First time coming to this place Emmy was our bartender. She was amazing. The drinks were awesome. We started with the shrimp dumplings and they were amazing. We then split the lobster roll and the fried chicken sandwich hot honey style. Everything we had was 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend Coming back to the city solely for this purpose.

I walk in Fairmount often and recently decided to stop by Pier Bar with a friend. We just missed happy hour—which was a bit of a letdown because the menu looked fantastic! I highly recommend sitting outside if there is seating available.
We still ordered drinks; my friend’s was excellent, while mine—a purple cocktail made with pea powder—was a little too adventurous for my taste.
That said, the food more than made up for it. My friend had a burger, and I ordered the shrimp Caesar salad—both were absolutely delicious. I’m really looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu!

Well welcome back to the neighborhood I guess…. I am very familiar with the Fairmount area. Lived there years ago. About a year ago I moved back. Have been frequenting the bars with no issues until tonight. My boyfriend and I came to have a drink at Pier bar. We were greeted when we walked in by someone standing near the door, really nice guy. We sat down at the bar and the bartender did not acknowledge us at all. No hi, I’ll be right with you, nothing. I thought maybe he was just busy or had previous orders but when a white gentleman sat down 2 seats down from us he greeted him with conversation and menus. It was at that moment my boyfriend said “what’s up man you saw us sitting here” at that point I said let’s just go. The mood was off. We’ve been to Pier bar before and received great service. We tip well and spend a good amount of money. It’s a shame one person ruins your experience. We did not get the gentleman’s name but he was the bartender 3/22/2025 on Saturday night.
