50 Best Bars near Prospect Park

“I picked up my friend from the airport. He was arriving late. We needed to find a spot for some cold beers and some food. We arrived 1020 food service stopped at 10. The bartender, I forget her name, but she saw we were hungry, and offered us two hot beef sandwiches, with all the fixings, white horseradish, freshly grilled long hots, and that sharp provolone. Oh my goodness. So good!! Definitely recommend this place! Even the locals welcomed us. Even tho we are both local, definitely felt right at home.“

“Amazing place, delicious food, fun atmosphere and reasonable prices“

“Verging on the Mammoth

The Mentions (Dementia) - my Benjamin couriers - Godspeed.

Boris (Johnson). Your slick back, Bryllcream Baby. Appendage or vortex. Oh how we entered into a Barnum and Bailey.

No Bob nor Borbora (Gheel) for they wer behind the wheel of the cedars ( Lebanon). The dance of the sugar plum fairy betwixt by the octopus (squid). The first decade of the eight.

Vienna 1933, the slopes of Zell am See / the Anchlus. The reformation of Frau Brady. A freakgeist like an abominable Trojan. Oh he tracked and he found us.

Even still this morning, the locust swarmed to our behest and located his undying prey. Bob in Borbara, you enticing Beer hall pushes, how to fall at the final hurdle, how to kidnap a soul. Farewell.“

“I love visiting Philly as frequently as time allows me. If your looking for an amazing little pub with brews from around the world then this place is for you! The mussels are amazing too, with fresh bread. yum!. Great services, good food, great brew! I Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“We traveled from Colorado and stumbled upon this place. We definitely lucked out. The atmosphere, the drinks, the people all deserve 5 stars or more. The bar tenders were fun to talk to and we felt right at home. They have great drink recommendations and my husband and I enjoyed the hour we spent just talking and hearing stories. Thank you for the good times“

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

“Claire was awesome upstairs at the bar!!! Her recommendations were amazing for food and spirits!“

“Treated ourselves to this place we saw on diners driveins and dives after shoveling a whole bunch of snow. The atmosphere is great, packed especially for a winter storm day. There were only three servers and one of them had to bartend as well, but food and drink came super fast. They are doing the best they can!

Got their brunch special with duck (which is absolutely delicious), a veggie burger, French onion soup (urgently needed in this weather), 1 cocktail and 2 desserts. Total came up to $77 before tax and tips. Great deal. Totally worth walking half an hour in 20 inches of snow for.“

“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!“

“Wow what a great place! Great atmosphere, good food & the best beer on tap!! Highly recommended!“

“Food is great. Good spot for a quick dinner at the bar or taking your time with friends at a table. Haven’t had any cocktails here but the beer selection is solid and the bartenders are friendly and know what they’re doing. Amazing neighborhood spot that I’m glad to see back open after COVID. I only wish I could make it more often!“

“This place is such a great spot for any occasion, such great food and an amazing vibe, great for a stop in when you’re strolling down main st! Owner is awesome too, helped me shovel my car out when in was stuck in the street, if that isn’t customer service then I don’t know what is!“

“I'm reviewing this business because when my son had nowhere to go. The Owner allowed him to pass some time at his business even though he was a bit passed intoxicated. The owner helped my son get to his home by guiding him when nobody would help my son while he was lost and alone. Thank you so much on behalf of me and my son. DAVID“

“Me and my wife stopped by for the famous wings with house made sauce, It was super packed, only reason for giving a four star for service was because you had to go to the bar to get a menu and ask for service.

But with understanding they were very packed. The wings were very good and I would make a trip back for sure.“

“Great people!! Thanks so much Doug for taking care of us and letting us order in amazing cheese steaks you recommended! We will definitely be back my new/old-school nostalgic favorite stop any time I'm out in Philly! Great to meet some new phriends and phamily! Rock on🤘👍❤️💯💥“

“This is straight up one of the coolest vibes in black Philadelphia. You get such a diverse crowd of people across the diaspora and the food is amazing. Karaoke night brings out some REAL singers but even if you aren’t good, the crowd is still so supportive and fun. I really love this place.“

“Very authentic American cuisine, I really like it.“

“food and drinks were great“

“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.“

“I understand why this is a Philly institution… you walk in and feel like you’ve transported back in time! Handwritten menu on the wall with no prices, food being prepared right in front of you.

Finally stopped in for lunch and got a hot beef & cheese (sharp provolone). While I love the modern day sandwich shops with crazy creative combinations, nothing beats a high quality yet simple sandwich like this. Fresh meat, roll, everything about it hit the spot. Added a bag of chips for $1 (sandwich was $15). My friend got the turkey special and loved it as well.

I will absolutely come back in the future whenever I’m craving a roast beef sandwich!“

“Bartender Bobby is great!!“

“It’s a great new dive-ish bar in the area. Big bar with 3 TVs with tables and TVs in the back. The draft list is just okay but I assume it’ll get better with time (they need more local beers and then a cheap domestic option). Haven’t tried the food yet. The service is awesome. The bartenders are super cool. It’s just a good vibe kinda place.

Edit: rooting for them still but I had jerk wings and they were just not good at all. So over-fried and dry with little flavor and skinny bones. I definitely won’t try wings here again but maybe some of the other food is okay.

Still love it but the need to do a better job with the draft beer - last time the only beer on draft out of 8 drafts that was available was Guinness (which I love so it was fine but still).

Good burger“

“I am a regular at Spin Philadelphia. I usually go and have a very good time. I enjoy the food, drinks, and the atmosphere. I recently had a situation where someone asked security to deal with me. I was upset and started acting up because I was being wrongfully accused. Even though my night was going bad, I felt better because of the way I was treated by some staff. The security guy with the bandana and the front desk ping pong player were very nice to me. They heard me out, showed me respect, and were very understanding of the situation. They assured me that I was welcomed back anytime. I really appreciated that. Thank you.“

“Beautiful atmosphere , fun foods with great flavor“

“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.“

“Frankie and all the staff were fantastic. Met a few great local people too. Great to have a drink watch a game and a chat.“

“Great place. Really nice staff. Lots of space. All the best beer. Best spot in Springfield (Delco) to grab a drink with friends.“

“Kind and Handsome server and delicious wine selection!“

“Stopped here this past weekend and got some of the most delicious sandwiches! Started with the Tuna Tartare which was phenomenal and each had a sandwich for dinner. The vodka parm sandwich and the french dip were delicious and the sesame rolls tasted so fresh. Would recommend to anyone in the area!“

“Hands down the best place in the area before a game, event or anytime. We take our kids and they love it. Do not sleep on the menu, it’s an amazing variety. Service is excellent every time. This is the place we tell all our friends to hit up when we are in the area. 10 out of 10!“

“Must stop in for a cold one“

“The Local has an old-vibe neighbor bar atmosphere. That being said, the lunch menu had vegan-vegetarian options which I was pleasantly surprised to see. The miso ramen was flavorful, but would have enjoyed it more if it included more veggies. My friend had the veggie burger which he said was delicious. Will definitely go back to try their other food options.“

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

“Awesome Neighborhood Bar, great for ages 30 -60. Women of those ages, could use more Single women. Men consist of hard working people, Blue Collar men. But if good looking women are there the men will arrive. Just a bar you can be comfortable at. Just my opinion.“

“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“

“Great food, clean bathrooms and a nice dance floor. Had a very good time, the people are a mature crowd and friendly.“

“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“

“Bartenders are great. Excellent beer!“

“Great food, Cold Beer! What more do you need?!?!?“

“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..“

“our group had our dinner during our stay in Philly... we are veey much satisfied with the food, generous serving and friendly staff... we had a great time during our dinner!“

“The best time EVERY TIME! Love the pool tournaments ! Food is always on point ! Can’t beat the chicken Kebabs! And Deja is the best ! Always making sure our drinks are flowing and that we are well taken care of ! Def be seeing more of us!“

“Been there a few times now after discovering it a couple weeks ago and had a different bartender each time. Without fail, each bartender has been exceptionally welcoming and kind! Haven't gotten food but it does look good. Week nights seem to be quiet for a beer and very little wait on the pool tables. Went on a Friday and the place was buzzing, love to see it! Pool tables being $1.50/game is great compared to so many other places.

Can't recommend this place enough. This is my friends and I's new favorite spot.“

“Edgy but wholesome. Very k knowledgeable about music, supportive, kind and fun!“

“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“

“Always a good pint pour, highly recommended.“

“Best local spot in Delco!! Great bartenders, good times, fun atmosphere, and cheap drinks!! what more can you ask for?!“

“Great local hang, attentive, knowledgeable and professional staff, one of the better whiskey selections in the city, tasty bar pies and perhaps the best wings in town. Cozy lounge area, perfect for game days and nights. Order the classic breakfast with house made sausage, outstanding!“
