“Clean bathrooms. Good selection of house bowling balls. The shoes were fine. The atmosphere was good. Did not try any of the food so I can't comment on that. The only mark against the place I could find at all was that it's much more comfortable to reserve two lanes next to each other than just take the one because the seating behind the lanes feels very claustrophobic when you're sharing it with another group.“
“I am very pleased with my experience here. I went with a group of 5 and ordered sample tasting, so we got to try a lot of different options they have. They have standard and an upgraded option (for just $10/person); it is well worth it to pay for the upgrade. I liked most of it. But what was exceptional is the liver goose, the duck scrapple, the wagyu and the sea bass.They do a nice show (at the bar) with some of their drinks as well. In this video I recorded them making my double knot Manhattan. They fire some cinnamon and fill your cup first with the smoke. It actually gives it a nice taste.“
“My daughter took me here and I have to say it was every thing I could have asked for. A true experience to say the least. The cocktails were absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is above reproach. I can not wait to bring my husband when we come back. Thank you so much for a wonderful time.“
“The food was wonderful and came fast but the service lacked something. Wonderful place for a date night but they are VERY strict on dress code so be sure to check your outfit down to your shoes before arriving.Dietary restrictions: Nut free facility“
“Pretty good experience! There was a little bit of a mix up with what we ordered but they instantly took care of it and got us the rest of our food. Some of the food was hit or miss. The broll, Bloc party, Hijiki, and e I shumai was great but I didn't really like the chashu because it was a bit gummy and the wings were not my favorite. But other than that, it was all great. I will definitely come back soon to try more things :)“
“The intent is clear and well executed. It didn't seem like a place that aims to put pizza on a pedestal rather a well put together representation of desired traits specific to the Philadelphia dining scene. The pizza leaned towards a bar pie, that was executed by someone who has a devout understanding of the dough and the other ingredients involved. The soft serve was well spun and tasty. Overall the hype is real and was a real joy to visit!“
“My girlfriend and I decided to come in for happy hour and I’m so happy we did! The food and cocktails were delicious but we were really blown away by the service. Our server, KB, was incredible. She was on top of everything, knowledgeable, personable, and gave great recommendations. We can’t wait to come back!“
“Top Notch cocktails, Wayne will not steer you wrong! Both times I've gone he came up with a different variant of the old fashioned, both times they become my new favorite version of the old fashioned. On my last trip there, he didn't hold back, he came up with a stellar old fashioned and served me the best margarita I'd ever had! If Wayne ever asks if you trust him, do it, he will not disappoint! He got a feel for what flavors I like and served me the most phenomenal marg in a big skull glass, the pineapple was so ripe and juicy and the drink itself had the perfect spicy/sweet ratio!! All the bartenders were friendly and served everyone well, we all had a great time! I also love that you can get to-go cups and boxes to enjoy cocktails and food in your room!“
“This is a spot for cool people, you will know when you walk in- that’s the vibe. I’m not that cool though and I felt welcomed (that’s usually how cool people make you feel). Anyways, the pickletini is dangerous, my friend had like 7 one time. I like this place!“
“We had a nice lunch today! I loved my eggplant, tomato, and avocado tower. My friend loved her tomato basil soup and bacon grilled cheese! Our server was attentive, timely, and informative. It's a great go-to place at any time. Parking was plentiful!This time, we had some apps. Service and food are still great!“
“Bar Hygee is a true gem of a place; it dazzles in every sense. From the thoughtful whimsicality of the decor to the curated comfort and coziness of the atmosphere to the impeccable, exceptionally warm service (shout out to Morgan- an absolute dynamo!) to the purposefully playful and out-of-this-world delicious drinks & dishes, Stu and his visionary, industrious team have created a textbook manifestation of the concept from which this place takes its name. THANK YOU for the fabulous swag ;) and for hosting us with such generosity of spirit! We'll be back again and again!“
“Really cool bar to drink local spirits. The bartenders were super nice and let us try a couple different things we were interested in. Cocktails were really good. I would definitely go back. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was super chill but I can imagine that it gets really noisy as soon as it fills up. Also you can bring your own food, since they don’t have a kitchen, so that’s really cool!“
“Loveeee this place! Service is always great - love Dan! - and the food is consistently good! 3rd time eating here and the ribeye is always phenomenal. Banana Forster is worth’s saving room for! And the cocktails are made with love! Love Steak 38!!“
“Loved our Sunday brunch here. Came here after trying Nemi (their sister restaurant) & thought everything was delicious. Great service for sure & the food was super good. Waffles & strawberry cream were not too sweet & perfect compliment to our other two dishes. Will return to Port Richmond soon.Vegetarian options: They can taylor your dish to be all veg.“
“First time here and everything was great! We got there early for lunch (food was perfect) then Hans gave us such a great, informative, hilarious tour/tasting we ended up staying for another round. I cannot remember both girls’ names who were our servers but they were excellent. Definitely coming back soon!“
“I love this place BUTI love this place—the relaxed vibe, the incredible drink menu, friendly staff, and the Super Bock on tap takes me straight back to Europe.BUT I do feel swindled by the auto 20% with minimal/ no indication on the receipt.“
“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“
“I absolutely loveeeeeeee this restaurant!!!! Their coconut mojitos is the best thing everrrrrrrrr! The ambiance of the restaurant makes you feel as though you have transported to Cuba! I love the decor and the music that was played while we were there. Their pressed bread with mango butter is to die for!!!!! First round is on them but then you'll have to pay extra for another round and that makes sense. On the weekend the restaurant turns into a nightclub which I think is awesome! It's 20$ entry fee but if you are there your receipt is eligible for two weeks to get in for FREE! Def 10/10 !!!“
“A must try hidden gem in the neighborhood. Unique Belgian beers and stouts. Must try the Hercule Stout if you have beef of any kind. Don't underestimate the vegan seitan sandwich. Packed with umami flavor and very satisfying. Wife had the Steak Frites salade and really enjoyed it. Dessert was the lime pie - very tart and very good.“
“Awesome experience. Very clean, open and overall fantastic. The dogs had plenty of room to roam and were pleasant. Both the waitstaff and management were fantastic and the food is amazing. Best brussels sprouts I have ever had, and that should tell you about the rest of the menu. Highly recommend!“
“Had not eaten the food, so I can't comment. But having worked as a fine dining bartender in Los Angeles, I was blown away by their cocktails. Their menu made the mixology need in me geek out. My friend and I went there for a quick drink between movies on Christmas day. And we were very pleased with the experience.“
“Cool vibe, friendly service, I love the logo! We arrived as happy hour was changing over and quickly ordered. We found that our happy hour tacos we considerably less enjoyable than the ones we ordered after happy hour concluded. Fun spot, certainly would go before a show at Union Transfer.“
“The team at The Madison and Thomas, in particular, were exceptional. The venue's beauty was breathtaking, and its cleanliness was without fault. The culinary experience was a highlight, with dishes that transcended traditional event food, both in presentation and quality. Thomas, a true professional, made the planning process a breeze with his patience, knowledge, and helpfulness. The service received from Immanuel and the staff on the night of was flawless, and every staff member went above and beyond to ensure our guests felt welcomed and cared for. A big thank you to everyone for making this milestone event so memorable.“
“I went here with 2 of my friends for the first time for their Happy Hour (4-7 pm). We arrived early and was seated right away. Our server Jasmine was very nice. She made great food recommendations. Drinks were delicious and so were the items for Happy Hour. We will definitely go here again. Love this place again.“
“Great spot for a cheap burger that is good quality. A bit under-seasoned but you get salt pepper to add. Very reminiscent of home style / back yard barbecue burgers. Hard to not have some bias for how affordable it is at 6 bucks but I don’t think it’s a burger that trumps other bar burgers flavor wise. Fries are good especially soaked in malt vinegar. Don’t really get the appeal of going after sun down when it’s pitch black inside though. Makes it super awkward when people go to the bathroom and this blaring light suddenly appears in the corner of your eye or if you go and come out from a piss to see the whole bar squinting at you because you’re a visual disturbance“
“Loved the service and the food! We had GF linguine with clams - clams were nice and tender( not overcooked like other places), Eggplant parm with spaghetti-eggplant parm was amazing - n tender, and chicken parm- excellent!Can't wait to go back to try their calamari. Lots of Vegan options too .Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian and vegan options. GF linguine is available on request.“
“Nice atmosphere, the waiter was really attentive, lots of options on the menu and the food came out quickly and tasted amazing. I also loved that they had a lot of different mocktails on the menu. I got Dan Dan noodles and the sunset marteani and everything was so good. Would definitely come again to try more of their “
“Tapas doesn’t meet my expectations. The only memorable tapas was the grilled chicken. Paella was okay. There were a generous portion of seafood and poultry on the paella but there wasn’t a crunchy bottom. And the dish was a bit on the salty side even for a Chinese myself.“
Dinner Theater
“Wow wow wow! Fabrika is the chicest place to go on a Thursday night! The staff are classy and attentive, the dj and pianist brought the vibes, drinks and food are wonderful, and the performers are simply amazing! 10/10! burlesque show was comedic, stunning, sensual, and sparkly!“
“Situated near the Philadelphia stadiums, PBR Bar is a sports bar gem that hits all the right notes. The ambiance is electric, with plenty of TVs for prime game viewing. What sets this place apart is bartender Max, whose impeccable service and expertly crafted cocktails elevate the experience to new heights. From classic drinks to inventive creations, Max delivers with finesse and flair. Add in a diverse menu of delicious bites, and you’ve got the perfect spot to cheer on your favorite team. Don’t miss out on PBR Bar – it’s a winning choice every time.“
“Great live storytelling event! Intimate space. Drinks were good. Try out the duck cheesesteak. It was delicious! Definitely an elevated cheesesteak. Duck was very tender. It came with fries they were ok. No salt and some were way too soft. I like a little crunch on the outside.“
“The facility is clean. The staff is friendly, courteous and knowledgeable.With 12 simulators using the TrackMan technology, you can get your reps.A full bar and innumerable TVs throughout paired with fantastic food makes for an encompassing experience.To save money look at a membership or packages (seriously I frequent the spot 2-5x a week).“
“The food was excellent! I ate the nachos and veggies burrito. We ate at the upstairs bar and the bartender was great with recommendations for drinks and add-ons for food. It was funny to me that the decor is more old fashioned diner than Mexican restaurant, but it worked.“
“Literally if you live anywhere near fish town Come here !!! My fiancé and I got the meatballs and ricotta for an app AMAZING tasted like moms meatballs .. we ordered and spilt the tagliatelle with filet and truffles OH MY GOD ! My taste buds are SCREAMING I am 100% Italian and know flavors but this right here MANNNNN best thing I’ve eaten in a long long time ! Bartenders are so attentive and the atmosphere is awesome !!! Check this place out yalllll amazing“
“Awesome time throwing with great Harry Potter atmosphere, didn't get to try the food but the drinks were good and the instructor Matthew was great, the Harry Potter theme and ambiance was awesome I asked at the front desk about more stuff ex (wand painting) they weren't too sure.We got to play 3 different games of axe throwing in the amount of time and was definitely worth the cose of 35$ a person plan on going back it was an awesome way to spend my birthday.If you have 10+ they have a den that you can rent that seems worth it and they can also do catering.“
“We went around the happy hour time. 4-6 pm and you have to be seated at the bar for the happy hour prices. The service was good, attentive staff. The food was good to my surprise. The crispy cauliflower and mushroom pita pizza are a must-try. The Thai chili wings and Buffalo wings were deliciously sauced, along with my margarita. The Smash burger is a must-try too. It was a cool laid-back happy hour spot. I will be back to try the rest of the menu.“
“Star was a great bartender! Great conversation and the food was even better! We stumbled on this place by accident on our way to somewhere else and we were pleasantly surprised. We WILL be back soon! Can’t wait to try more items on their menu!“
“Vegan, Vegetarian and Gluten Free Options; Woo Hoo. I sat at the bar which had the Sixers game on the television. Ellie put in my order the Laotian Fried Sticky Rice (Has Peanuts) which was delicious. Fresh cut fries Ellie suggested two great ciders I met Chandler and paid my bill with Kat. I then ventured downstairs with Brianna. The PHILLY course is so cool. Chill music, fun vibe.“
“Absolutely thrilled with my recent visit to South Philadelphia Tap Room! The highlight of my meal was, without a doubt, their Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwich. The soup was a perfect blend of tangy and creamy, with just the right amount of seasoning to elevate the fresh tomato flavor. Paired with a golden, crispy Grilled Cheese that was oozing with melty cheese goodness, it was comfort food at its finest. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff only added to the exceptional dining experience. A must-visit spot for anyone craving a classic with a gourmet twist!“
“This is the spot where my coworkers go after work to unwind. Great selection of cocktails ? , and the only “bar food” that I’ve ever actually enjoyed. In fact I even went back with a friend just to grab lunch , we had the kale salad with chicken and it was delicious“
“LOVED my wet breakfast burrito. It was really really good and the spicy sauce on top is *chef’s kiss*. Just a little heat in a well composed burrito. And big! If I wanted to stuff myself, I would have finished it, but ended up just eating half.The server was the bartender and couldn’t attend to us as she was really doing two jobs (prepping all the drinks and trying to keep our coffees full). But the food was so good that it didn’t bother us much.The outside patio is also so relaxing. Perfect on a nice day.“
“This is one of the best restaurants in Philly! The food is incredible! (Highly recommend the fried chicken). I was needing to book a large group dinner for my colleagues (29 of us) and Valerie was so easy to work with! She was able to customize the perfect pre-set menu for us to accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions (I had reached out to 10 other restaurants as well and NONE would tailor anything to fit our needs like Bud + Marilyn’s would!). The set-up was gorgeous, and can I just say how nice and accommodating the entire staff was? (Special shoutout to the manager on duty that night, Jack! Jack, you are a gem and the evening was absolutely perfect). We are a fun bunch, and they would play along with us. Truly a memorable experience!“
“Walked over on a rainy day and found the crowd light, so we took a place at the bar. Ordered drinks and a pizza (regular pie with vegan pepperoni) and watched the first period of the Flyers Game. Pizza was excellent and we will definitely be going backVegetarian options: For vegetarians / vegans you can get pretty much the whole menu as a vegan option.“
“We were recommended this play by a walking tour guide and it is really good. Great choice of food and drinks (beer flights which were fun) and the staff are really friendly and attentive. You have to try the tator tots, they’re delicious!“
“A great find! We had 2 very pleasant visits with good food and drink. We particularly liked the staff and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. The owner and colleagues were very hospitable. One of the pleasantest neighbourhood bars we have ever been in.“
“Outstandingly crafted beer, good prices, laid back atmosphere that's great for visiting solo or for couples, families, or big groups. Staff are friendly and helpful. They have free WiFi and board games too! We especially loved the Polish-style beer (unique and delicious!), the Belgian Double, and their Hazy IPA. Yum, can't wait to return to try more from the draft beer list plus their draft cocktails and mead (honey wine).“
“Burgers, dogs, and beer - not much more you can ask for at Good Dog Bar!One of my favorite aspects about Good Dog Bar is that their restaurant walls have framed pictures of dog pictures that customers have sent in over the years. It's makes for a fun experience and who doesn't love to look at 'a good boy'? Not only is this a cool feature about their restaurant, they also have delicious food!What we ordered:-Drinks: Swipe Right - Tito's, matcha syrup, fresh lemon, Prosecco-Appetizer: Fried Mozzarella-Entree: Good Dog Burger - stuffed with roquefort cheese, topped with caramelized onions, on a challah bun“
“what an incredible refurbishment of a classic center city building!!!!!! the bar staff was great in every possible way including both johns and the beautiful young woman who was working with them on thursday night!!!!! the beer and booze selection is above reproach and just one piece of advice... if you like or love tullamore dew, don't drink the honey version“
“Stopped in for their Thursday 5-8pm happy hour, stayed for the go-go dancer and the all-vinyl DJ! This place truly is special, frozen in time. The historic venue/bar has so much charm and life in it still. DJ Hardbargain and dancer Butterfly Jones made the space so cozy and vibey! 10/10 recommend for a drink out with friends and a sweet spot to dance.“
“One of our favorite spots. Great atmosphere and service. Best mussels (white) around. We also love the GOAT burger, nachos, and chicken dishes. Grab the Pot De Creme for dessert. Great neighborhood spot. Plenty of parking and friendly staff.“
