Watkins Drinkery is a neighborhood restaurant that serves good food and drinks. It offers a nice reprieve from Passyunk Avenue and has a friendly and attentive staff. The beer is offered at a reduced price during happy hour, and the Watkins Burger is described as phenomenal. The bartender, Jack, takes great pride in his work and has maintained the existing vibe and decor while updating the menu. The cheesesteak, including a vegan mushroom steak option, crab wedge salad, mac and cheese, and Chicken Vodka parm sandwich are all noted as fantastic.
While some long-time favorites like the scotch egg are no longer available, the new dishes have been well received. Prices for food and drinks have remained fairly consistent, with only minor increases on some drafts. The restaurant has introduced game day specials and opens earlier on weekends for sports, enhancing the experience for customers. The jukebox has been moved upstairs, allowing for prime viewing of a large TV that has replaced it. Old regulars continue to frequent the bar, and new faces are joining as well.
Overall, while the vibe has changed slightly with the new ownership, Watkins Drinkery remains a welcoming neighborhood bar with something for everyone, whether they are new customers or long-time regulars. They still have the same happy hour special for drafts every day and continue to watch Jeopardy every weeknight at 7.
