40 Best Wine Bars in Philadelphia

“My first French cuisine experience did not disappoint. My son and I enjoyed a lovely meal and cocktails orchestrated by the best staff - Chef Clay, Beau (our server), and Alex(Bartender). From the first course I knew this was going to be one of, if not the best, dining experiences thus far in my lifetime. I highly recommend that everyone take the time to enjoy this fine dining establishment. You will not be disappointed.“

“Not kidding. Our table of 4 ordered nearly everything in the menu. Each bite was delicious, balanced, nuanced, worldly, fresh, and inventive. We ordered a second dish of the carrots, and also the cukes. Dessert was outstanding. Interesting wines, including a chilled Croatian wine that paired well with every dish. Definitely returning. Soon! ❤️“

“Great food- attentive waitstaff.“

“Beautiful atmosphere , fun foods with great flavor“

“An extensive variety of tapas restaurant with a good selection of wines and outdoor seating area. A focus on fresh, all crafted with the finest authentic ingredients. **Wine Selection**: A curated list of wines which achieve recognition as the "Best Organic Wine List" in North America in 2023. **Ambiance**: A cozy, inviting outdoor patio with comfortable seating, perhaps with Spanish decor and ambient lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere. **Service**: Knowledgeable staff who can provide recommendations on food and wine pairings, and who offer friendly, attentive service.“

“I’ve been to Fishtown Social many times and every experience has been great. Every wine/cocktail I’ve ordered has been very enjoyable. The whites and oranges are among the best I’ve ever had. I know I can try a few different wines here that I wouldn’t normally drink because the menu is always strong.

The service has always been friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I was just here last night catching up with some friends. Even though it was last call and close to closing, the servers were very patient and accommodating. In the past, they’ve also helped me choose from their bottle shop selection in the back.

It also has a great atmosphere - candles, a beautiful bar, and outdoor seating. Stopping by here is always a treat!“

“Great atmosphere, fun pasta options and perfect service!“

“Very flavorful and unique pizza! Can taste the high-quality sourdough crust. We came here as a large group and ordered 7 pizzas to share, they were all extremely flavorful and individually unique! The service was attentive and the natural wine selection is great! We prefer the cozy outdoor patio space to inside. A great neighborhood pizza joint.“

“Friendly atmosphere . Great food and great service.“

“I went to Jet Wine bar for a Halloween movie night with a friend. They were understaffed but they still went above and beyond to take care of us. Food and drinks were excellent. We watched the movie inside even though they were only serving outside. It was so kind and really an unnecessary accommodation they made for us to enjoy our time there. I'll definitely be going back!

Vegetarian options: Great veggie burger with vegan cheese too“

“This was me and my fiances first time at City Winery. We were greeted by the Hostess Susan who was very informative of upcoming promotions and she even offered a tour of the establishment. The wait was not long as we were seated pretty quickly. The service was phenomenal the server Cel was welcoming and had me and my fiancé laughing and enjoying ourselves from the moment we were seated. Cel made several suggestions on food as well as drinks. During the visit we learned that Cel is a bartender as well and invited us to come back which we will. The Braised Short Rib was flavorful and was a rather large portion. My fiancé had the Branzino he loved it and was ready to order one to go. Will recommend this place to all of our friends and family. We will be back for the Vivian Green show in May.“

“This coffee shop has completely stolen my heart! Every time I walk in, I'm greeted with the kindest smiles from the baristas — you can genuinely feel how much they care about creating a welcoming space. It's the kind of place that just makes your whole day better the second you step inside!

Now let’s talk about the pandan latte. I’m honestly obsessed. It's the perfect blend of cozy, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness with that beautiful, unique flavor that you can't find anywhere else. I dream about this latte — it's that good! If you’ve never tried pandan before, trust me, this is the place to fall in love with it.

I can't recommend this coffee shop enough. Between the incredible drinks and the truly wonderful team behind the counter, it’s easily one of my favorite spots in Fishtown. Can't wait for my next visit!“

“We met Pete (one of the partners) a few weeks ago at Lone Wolf in Kingston, NY and said we’d come check out Superfolie. We finally made good on that promise this week and now we’re kicking ourselves for not coming out sooner.

The space strikes that rare balance of effortlessly cool and genuinely welcoming. We started with the duck prosciutto, which was rich, silky, and perfectly portioned. Then came the tuna crudo, clean and vibrant, with just the right hit of acidity. Every dish felt deliberate without being overworked.

The team clearly cares. You can feel it in the service, the design, and the ambiance that they created here. Pete and crew have built something truly special in Philly. Superfolie isn’t just a wine bar, it’s a place you want to linger for a few glasses of wine while shooting the shit with the staff..

We’ll be back, and we’ll be bringing friends.“

“Cozy atmosphere reminiscent of a speak easy. Apps were delicious…broccoli and potatoes. Pizza was excellent….thin, crispy crust with great toppings. Definitely on our list of new spots to go.“

“my fiance and I were in Philly (from Maine) and she treated me to Osteria for my birthday dinner. The service was amazing throughout the meal, I wish I got the servers name as he was really an incredibly friendly young man who clearly knew the menu very well. The atmosphere is wonderful and the interior is just lovely. In terms of the food, I had the wild boar bolognese which was a special that night, and it was AMAZING!! Really, all the food was impeccable, from the focaccia to our mains. Super pleased and the next time I’m in town, I will most definitely be coming back!!“

“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.“

“This place was a true dining experience! The staff to the chefs was truly amazing. I recommend the tasting menu, it allows you to understand the authenticity and story of Tulip Pasta & Wine Bar through their food. My boyfriend and I enjoyed ourselves so much we plan to take our moms to experience the same enjoyment we did. Can’t wait to be back“

“delicious. exactly what I expected from the sister restaurant of River Twice. they are very consistent with their food. the presentation is beautiful and the food is mouth watering. it is well portioned. I sat at the bar and the bartender was nice, informative, and provided well placed service. I had the octopus with the collards, the hasbrowns with crab and uni, and the sea scallops as my main. the penicillin milk punch was so well balanced. my white wine paired well with my scallops. I was a little sad to not be able to get dessert since they didn't have any gluten free. absolutely a great solo dining experience and will be going again in the future“

“Delicious pizza, wonderful appetizers, great drinks, excellent customer service, and awesome open kitchen. They helped make my 30th birthday perfect. 💚“

“So happy we stumbled upon this hidden gem after going to an event in the area. The atmosphere is really nice & we sat at the bar. We had amazing bartender, Kem, who was very personable and offered great food and drink suggestions and friendly conversation. The drinks were excellent and the pizza was even better. We have tried many pizza places and this is now up there as one of our favorites. I can’t wait to come back and try more of the pizzas. Highly recommend checking this place out!“

“This was my second time here. I went a couple of months ago and I ordered the same type of tacos (cauliflower). The tacos this time were much more flavourful, had more sauce/seasonings. I also had the same margarita and it was also much improved.

I was there with a party of 8. Service was great and one of our party was running late. We weren’t rushed and were asked if we wanted to wait to order food, which I really appreciated.

Our party included meat eaters, vegetarians, and gluten free (celiac, not by choice). There were multiple choices for everyone. Everyone thought their meals were really good - and this is a crowd that frequents Mexican restaurants.

I have celiac disease and can tell within 30 minutes whether or not I got exposed to gluten. The server was very knowledgeable about gluten free options, from drinks to the food. I was assured that what I ordered had no cross contamination and they don’t put other items in the fryer that they use for tortilla chips. I had heard that they had stopped doing this a few months ago from an online review - but seems like they have a dedicated fryer for their chips again. I did not have a reaction!

The rooftop deck is beautiful and just a wonderful atmosphere. The entire restaurant though is thoughtfully decorated and the murals are gorgeous. Also really thrilled about supporting a local who clearly put a lot of thought into opening a restaurant here in East Falls and making it such a wonderful experience.“

“Cool vibes, family style small plates. Rotisserie chicken and grilled oysters were phenomenal. Other highlights: chicory salad, fries, and cauliflower croquettes. We tried a few cocktails and they were creative and pretty good. Wine list is extensive.“

“Very nice establishment I discovered it sadly after howl at the moon closed.... for its size it is close corners at times but still great I personally luv the low key lighting for the chandler's and high top tables around to welcome random goers :) last Saturday I came and the bartender made a great old fashion tonight I stuck with a basic drink ? with in 10 -15 second not making it up I was greeted and served ? absolutely worth coming again ?

Kid-friendliness: Friendly bartenders and front door host“

“Vintage is always my first stop for a glass (or three - ha!) of wine with local friends and visitors alike. Incredibly impressed by the knowledge of the staff, variety of wines, and incredible food. Sarah is always happy to walk me through a tasting or surprise me with the latest red they have in. Love love love this place and the folks that work here!“

“Delicious truffle & mushroom panini with salad & non-alcoholic cocktail. Employees very pleasant & not intrusive. Lighting, furnishings, & music are relaxing. It's fun to look out the window at people passing on sidewalks.“

“Very friendly service, very pleasant surroundings. Perfect place to stop and have a light nosh. There’s ciders are quite good, but on the dry side, which I especially appreciate. They also have excellent local wines and white snack snacks. Highly recommend recommended.“

“Everything was amazing it was just freezing in there and the floor above the basement had loud slamming noises for about 10 minutes straight to the point I thought the floor was about to fall through. However our waiter was amazing and thoughtful, food was delicious as well as drinks and they gave us complimentary champagne and extra things for our anniversary. Heads up there's only one bathroom which is on the top floor behind the main bar“

“This is our first time to Philadelphia and we are big Stallone/Rocky fans so we were excited to try this restaurant where some of Rocky Balboa and Creed was filmed. This was one of the best dining experiences with phenomenal entrees, excellent staff, beautiful atmosphere and amazing entertainment with the wait staff breaking into operatic song!! 10/10 recommend!!“

“We ate outside at Parc mid-afternoon today to celebrate our 61st anniversary with our family, including our granddog. Our meal was luscious throughout, though we were too full for dessert❣️I must say, the highlight for me was the tomato tart, which was delicate but hearty, and totally scrumptious. Thanks for a wonderful meal, and as always, we look forward to our next visit.“

““I had an exceptional experience at Vino Volo in the Philadelphia airport! I accidentally left my iPad behind, and Debbie from their office went above and beyond to help me. She coordinated with Taylor, the store manager and the staff held onto my iPad safely for nearly two weeks until it could be picked up. Their outstanding customer service truly made a difference, and I’m incredibly grateful. I also want to mention a great variety of wine!Highly recommend this place!”“

“Amazing atmosphere with incredible service and great food! Thank you Bellini!“

“As always, the Philadelphia CG passed with flying colors. Lovely friendly greeting. Okay table for one. Good waiter. No rush. Wonderful cocktails Onion soup out of this world. My own is the only one on earth that's better. Ian talked me out of the salad I planned and into a great lobster tail. With corn and bacon as a side. Great dinner. Thank you Ian.“

“Enswell is a gorgeous restaurant (even the loo is worth a visit... think high gloss burgundy and wallpaper) and bottle shop, and the service is some of the best I've experienced in the city thus far. The sausage was so good, the flat white was excellent, and the potatoes are perfectly crispy. You're in a great neighborhood for roaming, some light shopping, and people watching. Highly recommend and so happy we spent our Friday morning at a sweet little two-top outside chatting with our server-- great way to start the weekend.“

“Panorama was the perfect final stop for our group’s Dine Around through Old City. From the moment we arrived, their team impressed us with a beautifully set table, custom-printed menus (even reflecting last-minute adjustments made earlier that day), and warm, attentive service throughout. Their team was more than willing to work with us to coordinate the details of the visit and were truly wonderful to collaborate with. Our guests were blown away not just by the food and wine, but by the history and ambiance of the space. Learning about Panorama’s world-record wine collection added such a memorable touch to the experience. As a food tour company that’s guided hundreds of groups around Philadelphia, we can confidently say that Panorama stands out. And we’ll absolutely be back! Thank you Panorama!!“

“Good food at a fair price. Fabulous setting and atmosphere.“

“I gave them a five-star because they seem like nice people . But they really didn't deserve that the place is a dive you can't get a real drink there people just sit around reading books or some crap definitely not a bar don't go there“

“The vegan sandwiches and fries are the stars here. The seitan “bites” are fried so hard I was worried I would crack a tooth!! Definitely the least-edible seitan wings in the city. The mushroom cutlet sandwich was great, I will come back for that. Everything was extremely over-salted (and I love salty), so it’s either a case of a heavy hand that day or the salting bowls hadn’t been changed that night.“

“We had an amazing time. The owner Jim was very accommodating and our server Chris was amazing! Not to mention to food was great as well. I highly recommend!!“

“Great atmosphere, service, and quality 👍“

“Grace Tavern is back! Great to have our neighborhood bar / restaurant again. Cleaned & renovated without losing any of its charm. We stopped in for lunch. Service got a major upgrade too. Friendly personable bartender Ryan took care of us.
Nice beer selection. Classic blackened green beans. Juicy burger. Bratwurst on a crunchy fresh baked roll. We will definitely become regulars again!“
