50 Best Bars near Prospect Park

“John Morton' Tavern located on Lincoln Ave & 4th Street has great staff members/bar tenders that are very attentive towards their customers. One bar tender can handle the customers sitting at the bar. The food that came out of the kitchen was nice and hot while being prepared in a reasonable amount of time. Keep up the good work 👍-Good Luck in 2026 & Beyond. This is a good bar in the area but maybe could be smaller than some other local bars. It's not a bad thing but could get packed quickly. Business Parking lot wraps around behind the building and additional parking on 4th Ave“

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

“B&Bs is just the most fun place ever! Such a fun and friendly atmosphere, great music, and a pure Philly vibe. The citywide special is its hallmark and I enjoy it at every visit ;). Do not miss Bob and Barbara's. It defines Philadelphia, its great fun, and is a city landmark.“

“Second time I've been here in a month. Not from Philly. Traveling. The first time was the breakfast cheese steak. My son was obsessed with that. Tonight had the regular cheese steak w extra Cooper. Omg. Insane. The bread. The steak. The cheese. I only took like 4 bites but I think it was my favorite steak n cheese ever. Also just great atmosphere. The dude who runs the bar is on point. Love this place.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“The first time I went there was on the blind date and I did not have a good time. So this time I took my daughter to create a better memory for myself and Local 44 is definitely a vibe.

Laid back in very very nice attempted bartenders and waiters. The kid and I are definitely going back and yes she's 26“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great place to chill have a nice drink and cigar. The only thing they need a better ventilation system when it gets busy with lots of people the smoke is intense. Other wise is a nice group of people they go there. Recommend if you want an elegant place to smoke and have a good drink.“

“Must stop in for a cold one“

“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“

“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?!?!?“

“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!“

“Came for a work happy hour and had a few whiskey neats plus dinner. The team ordered jerk marinated wings (buffalo), fries, and the charcuterie board. EVERYTHING was delicious 😋 Roughly $10-15 per drink and food about $20 a plate. Hope you enjoy!!“

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

“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!“

“the bartender Rachael is so much fun!“

“Great non-click bar. Large outside for summer partying with good bands. Dolan's participates and there's always good bands always a barbecue going“
