50 Best Bars near Prospect Park

“A cozy tavern on the side of the main way. This joint had some delicious home cooked meals for decent (pre pandemic) prices. For tasty roast beef sandwiches, or a filling helping of philly cheesesteak fries. This place surely hit the mark on delicous food and good service.

Parking: Small parking lot, but free.“

“Tim is the friendliest bartender ever!!!!“

“Friendly staff! Hostess was great as was our server. I only know she had a unique name. Not a large menu but what they do offer is amazing. Great atmosphere too!“

“So I had such a great time at this place it was super fun. The atmosphere was full of laughter, the drinks were super affordable and the bartender even gave my sis and I complimentary drinks. It was very diverse which I loved everyone was just having a good time, it was a night of complete fun. Also the Assman license plate is priceless I love Seinfeld“

“We just love our new family restaurant! We get treated like family everytime we go!!!! The atmosphere is so cozy and the staff is exceptional. And let's talk about the food - it's absolutely to die for! The portions during happy hour are perfect and the prices are so reasonable.

But the best part? Let me introduce you to DAVID! He's the star of the show - always attentive, funny, and he makes drinks like a true master! Whenever I go, I insist on being seated with David.

They made our anniversary so special and they truly care about their guests' experience. We feel so lucky to have this gem in the neighborhood. I'd travel far and wide for this level of excellence!

Oh, and I can't forget to mention my favorites: The Good Good Things drink, the Buffalo wings during happy hour, and the amazing cheesesteak! And my kids absolutely love the huge, deep dish, extra cheesy pizza.

We're off to our reservation with David - can't wait! If you go, make sure to say hi to him and tell him Mink sent you!

Almost forgot the fresh house made potato chips!!!! So so so good!!! Don't skip them!

Kid-friendliness: Always awesome and patient with my kids!“

“First time there. It was awesome. Burgers are to die for!!“

“What an awesome place! Service rocks, food is amazing, and the beer selection is top notch. I can’t say enough good things about this bar, if you haven’t been yet you’re missing out.“

“I just joined Five Iron Fishtown and I love it. The location is great and I love the vibes of the inside. The hours are perfect as I generally go to use the simulators before work in the morning and work on my swing or play a round. I’ve also had a few lessons with Senior Golf Pro Matt Davis and I can already tell my swing has gotten better. With the technology they have and following Matt’s direction I feel like I’ll be performing a lot better once I get on an actual course. Highly recommend.“

“food and drinks were great“

“Great selection of beers you won't find on tap in many places. They also have an awesome vegetarian or vegan cheese steak!

Vegetarian options: Is an amazing vegetarian or vegan cheesesteak and a lion's mane crab cake style dish that I still want to try, among other attractive vegetarian options“

“Let me start I did read all the bad reviews before heading over there so I didn’t have great expectations.However as a cheapskate and a craft beer lover especially searching for my lessor common styles of beer, I typically go by each bar and restaurant in airport and scan QR code to see beer selection and check pricing.Most places here in Philadelphia Airport straight rip off at 16 per pint, but when you want a beer you’re stuck. Anyway when I first approached the counter I was absolutely expecting to be poked since they didn’t show prices only beer menu.Luckily they had something for me that I was going to purchase regardless, A nice strong Golden at 8%.I was then blown away upon seeing I got a 20oz, normally higher ABV beers are served in smaller 12oz glasses. Any full pour of 20oz was only 10 bucks and I was expecting at least 20, left me room in budget to not only get 2nd beer plus a pretty solid hotdog and chips.Biggest plus was Connor the bar tender, was super cool and attentive, and then informed me I was safe to take my cup and walk back to my terminal, since I walked a fair distance just to check out all beer options.Lastly, unlike most other restaurants In airport it’s kind of obvious if your paying attention that their section is not owned and maintained by airport, as most restaurants have tables and chairs with chargers that kind of blend from restaurants into gates, so I kinda understand their right to ask people to patronize their business or ask them to leave, I was lucky to find a spot at the bar.Not excusing anyone ever treated rudely, and definitely not my experience.“

“The bayou basically birthed my child. I had their 25 cent wings every Monday and Tuesday leading up to my due date. I was actually in the bar when my water broke and the staff were so friendly and assisted me until my husband could arrive. Can’t wait for my little girl to try their food when she’s older!“

“Great atmosphere. Awesome staff. Of course, great drinks!“

“Bartender Bobby is great!!“

“Came for brunch. The space itself is cool: you take an elevator to the 11th floor and you're transported to a rooftop restaurant. The roof is retractable so could be a nice option when warmer (it was closed when we went).

We got all the salsas (free chip refills!) which came with a surprising amount of options, so that was nice. The barbacoa tacos were fine, nothing special but standard (the tortilla tore a little easier than I would have expected so a bit hard to eat). The chorizo rojo hash was delicious. A solid amount of chorizo with a delightful sauce. The menu didn't have a ton of things outside of barbacoa tacos that I was interested in so I was surprised to have enjoyed this as much as we did.

The drinks were fine-standard margarita with a tajin rim. The service was a bit slow. We were one of two tables and it took a strange amount of time to get napkin refills, water, and the check.“

“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“

“In town for work at Logan Township, New Jersey from Indianapolis. Was recommended this place based off the food and atmosphere. The food was delicious and atmosphere did not disappoint. All the workers were super friendly and made it overall a great experience. Can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in New Jersey for work.“

“Delicious happy hour appetizers and exceptional alcohol free drinks. Relaxing atmosphere outside and sports on the large screens inside.“

“Cozy neighborhoods bat great staff. always going the extra mile for their customer's. rated mid level where the delight app could take them“

“I've made some of my best memories at Dr. Thunder Karaoke! Super fun way to spend a night, whether via Zoom or in person.“

“Vegetarian perspective

Unique vegan options that are so delicious and really highlight the produce! (Instead of using fake meats etc). They have some great menu items and seasonal specials.

Well curated drink menu with cocktails, craft beers and wine.

Nice dining experience with more laid back setting since they do have a TV at the bar.
But still cozy, candlelight, etc. great date spot!“

“Ive been to Tommy's several times..I Was just there Thursday night. Everytime I go there with my husband, nothing but good vibes, atmosphere..What bar anybody goes to, and the owner is always around..“

“Great food at a great price!!“

“Ever since I set foot in The Bayou, I’ve been haunted by dreams of their wings. They’re not just any wings; they’re mystical, crispy, tangy bits of heaven that could probably solve world peace if given the chance. I’ve heard stories of philosophers pondering the secret to happiness—turns out, it’s right here on Monday and Tuesday nights for just 25 cents a wing.

The staff? Unbelievable. I was greeted at the door like a long-lost relative who had returned from a 15-year expedition to find the Holy Grail (spoiler: the Grail is made of chicken). Do yourself a favor and run—don’t walk—to The Bayou‼️‼️‼️“

“Tasty tacos and tasty margaritas!!!“

“It’s amazing when you get waited on by Doug/Ryan“

“Bartenders are great. Excellent beer!“

“Just had dinner / drinks at Manoa Tavern tonight. Our server was Ava and she was fantastic. Very friendly and attentive. Food was excellent! We will be back!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Flashbacks in Lester for their famous crabs, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The restaurant had a cozy, hole in the wall feeling, with friendly staff who made us feel right at home.

The star of the show, of course, were the crabs. They were fresh, meaty, and perfectly seasoned, making for a truly satisfying meal. The Old Bay seasoning was just right, enhancing the flavor of the sweet crab meat without overpowering it. The crabs were served hot and steaming, adding to the overall enjoyment of the dining experience.

In addition to the crabs, we also tried some of their other seafood offerings, including their pasta dishes which were equally delicious. The portions were generous, and everything was cooked to perfection.

Overall, I highly recommend Flashbacks in Lester for anyone looking for a fantastic seafood dining experience. The quality of the crabs and seafood is stellar. I will definitely be returning to Flashbacks in the future for more of their amazing crabs. Flashbacks also offer all you can eat crabs on Thursdays.

Vegetarian options: A few dishes

Parking: Parking was great“

“Unassuming little watering hole. This is the only place I’ve been to that has good wings in Philly in my opinion. Great pub and bar food. Blackened chicken and/or salmon salads are killer. The roast pork sandwich is also great, done in the Philly style. Watch out for those long hots. Good beer selection.“

“Was here in Philly celebrating a friend‘s birthday and they wanted to check out Ashton‘s, which is a pretty well-known cigar lounge in Philly. We were told that their cigars are overpriced, so to bring our own which we did, but they do have a bar and lounge area. We went on a Saturday (they do not open until four). We got there around there 530 and they were already pretty packed. We lucked up and got the last table available. The first floor has the cigars and paraphernalia to purchase. The second floor has a nice bar with plenty of seating and tables in the bar area and then lounge couches in another area. The host and our waitress were good. She checked on us regularly, took photos for us and engaged in conversation. There was a nice mixture of people. Some people were dressed up. Some people were dressed down. I Took one star away on service due to the overpriced cigars. I took one star away of the atmosphere due to ladies Beware the bathrooms are unisex so once you go through the door, you are in the bathroom with men which was very uncomfortable. I would actually recommend you change this and protect women in these personal spaces!“

“Great food and great people and drinks“

“This place is nice! A cute spot for locals.

I visited a few times before. There was something wrong with my drink during my recent visit but Morgan was able to make things right for not just me, but my friend as well :) thanks again Morgan!“

“Pub & Kitchen is an incredible spot!! Located off of Lombard Street, in Philadelphia, PA, this bar & restaurant is the perfect place for a cozy dinner and a cocktail. The vibes inside of this restaurant are immaculate - it's warm and inviting and the staff are SO kind + accommodating. Their drinks are delicious - I tried their Texas Ranch Water when I visited and it was so, so good!! For food, their Pub Wedge Salad is amazing, particularly when paired with a side of their French Fries!! For starters, I highly recommend their Nashville Hot Fried Oysters (their buttermilk ranch sauce that's in this dish is, honestly, amazing)!! This is a great spot - highly recommend! :-)“

“i went to the library bar on a date and it was so beautiful! For those who are NOT Philadelphia natives like myself, The Library Bar is located INSIDE The Rittenhouse Hotel. When looking it up, it says that, but it’s easily overlooked if you’re not paying attention or not familiar with the area.

The atmosphere was intimate, relaxing, and definitely an overall vibe. This is a great place for drinks among friends, a date, or even if you’re wanting a solo date in a place with a great atmosphere🤍✨“

“Awesome staff!!! TVs are in great spots. Food is great.“

“the bartender Rachael is so much fun!“

“Delicious!!! My friends and I were so excited to try Bar Jawn, especially since we’ve loved Pizza Jawn for a long time! The food and drinks were all fabulous - Bar Jawn has a chill, relaxed atmosphere but boasts an elevated bar menu that is so much more and so far beyond typical bar food! Some of our favorites were the drunken ravioli, the buffalo arancini (so inventive!!!), the chicken parm (make sure you get it with ravioli!), the mozzarella triangles (mozz sticks with an upgrade!) and the eggplant stack! So excited to come back as the menu changes and try even more awesome options! Thank you, Bar Jawn!“

“Always have a great time at Craft Beer Store, Springfield.“

“celebrated my daughter's 16th birthday last night and everything was perfect.“

“Been in here 3x on two separate trips to Philly. Same experience all 3 times. Excellent food prepared out front by a very kindly cook. Fantastic bartenders. Great conversation with strangers next to me (always stemming from the 10/10 great playlist going on the stereo). The atmosphere in here is so warm and cozy. I'm not a person who hangs out in bars but every time I come here I seriously don't wanna leave. It looks a little out of the way on the map from all the tourist stuff but it's not. 22nd is a nice street to walk down.“

“I came here years ago and was always getting the fish bowls. When I went today (12-7-2024) they no longer make them and I was disappointed but I got a vodka & OJ and a Long Island ice tea. The kitchen was closed but I have tried their seafood platters. I love this place. An older crowd and no riff raff. I’ve moved closer and that makes it better. Robin was a GEM.“

“Delicious as always. I went yesterday, with a friend and I got to say, your prices have gone through the roof! I mean doubled by $8-$10 per meal. We also got there at 4:30 on a Saturday afternoon, the dead of August, we wanted a hightop table. We were told that they were reserved and That people would be coming in within the next 45 minutes, and they didn’t wanna have to switch us again. By the time we left at 7:30 there were still 2 high tops available/empty. I’ll still be back because it’s a Broadway but those two things definitely bothered us“

“My days of flying are over. Warren and his staff took very good care of us at his bar. I highly recommend that my friends at Alaska/Hawaiian seek this crew-friendly venue when you start flying to Incheon from Seattle. Cheers!“

“I am gonna give Krupas tavern 100 starts if possible! I found this hidden gem while staying in airbnb in art museum area! I told the bartenders(owners) that I am soon to move to Philly for work and they took it upon them to ensure I would have a safe neighborhood to live in! She literally took hours out of her day to make sure I find a good neighborhood and gave me all the tips I need to live in this city. This bar is the epitome of small establishment/center of community! The sisters helped me out a lot I am in debt to them and I will be coming back here a lot more to talk to them even tho I will be living outside philly! Their personality is reminds me of a warm cup of soup my grandma made. Krupa's tavern will make you feel like you are home away from home. Thank you for the hospitality! Don't feel intimidated to talk to the sisters they are the sweetest and place is a little slow on the weekends but that's the only time I went in.“

“This is a great place for live music and local hangout great people,great atmosphere we play there always looking forward to going back Bev and Dan Duo see you guys soon“

“The best grown and sexy hangout in East Falls!“

“Streetlight Kitchen & Bar is a great restaurant to go to for dinner. Their smashburger is delicious and seasoned perfectly. Streetlight is a great place to eat with friends and family.The atmosphere is great and the servers are very polite. Would recommend people that love high quality food and great cocktails to go to this restaurant.“
