Yards Brewing Company Bar • $

“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.“

Carbon Copy Brewery • $$
701 S 50th St, Philadelphia - 7.44 miles

“Everything was amazing from the style and the design of the place, the building, the service, the beer and the food. The pizza was perfectly cooked and the dough was delicious. the only thing is that I felt that it was a little too salty, maybe it was just yesterday, but I will have to try it again. The salt definitely made. My mouth feel overwhelmed with saltiness within the second slice. Nevertheless, they still deserve
Five stars but I hope they go easier on the salt and the pizza would be even more enjoyable.“

“Hosted our staff holiday party here last year, but went to the restaurant part for the first time the other day to eat while watching the game. We sat at the outdoor bar, which wasn't really crowded so we found a seat easily. It's pretty spacious out there with traditional tables, the bar and some high tops as seating options. Bartender automatically came over to greet us and see what we would want for drinks.

They had a fall drink menu, so I tried the mule that was on that list, which I liked! Still had the fizz and taste of a mule but the hint of cinnamon and other fall-based ingredients did make it feel a bit more seasonal. The food was good too. I was originally going to try the Nashville chicken sandwich but, based on recommendations from the bartender, I went with the Buffalo Chicken flatbread instead. It was served hot, fresh and a good size portion. The taste was there and good distribution of chicken throughout the entire flatbread. I took a bit of his entree (the burger) which was cooked well, tasty and also a good size portion.

Cool, chill spot with some good bar food options. Will be back again.“

“Stopped here after doing quite a few Instacart orders, and it was an amazing experience! Had the brisket cheesesteak, and even though it was pricy, it tastes as good as it sounds, and was well worth the splurge. There's also a great selection of in-house craft brews at reasonable prices.
Nicole was the bartender, and she provided amazing service and completed the great atmosphere this place has. Will definitely come back whe. I have the opportunity!“
