Best burger on the mainline. Absolutely love this bar. It's the classic "Cheers Theme Song" bar.

Friendly, casual neighborhood place. Mostly regulars, but visitors welcome. Burger and fries were excellent. Sports on TVs but not too loud for conversation.

First real dive bar I've found on the Main Line. Unapologetic grungy aesthetic. Good, non-fancy food. Cheapish drinks. A (defunct) phone booth. A (I believe defunct) cigarette machine. Dart board. Not-so-fancy TVs for Philly sports. Friendly and chatty staff. Diverse and mostly friendly crowd. Jukebox. Open early, closes late. I could go on, but you should simply go to see for yourself!

Still the best corner bar and burger on the mainline. Unreplaceable institution in a world of new wave options.

Absolutely embarrassing service from a bar in the hear of the mainline. I went to roache and O’Brien’s with 3 of my friends on a quiet night to drink. After presenting all of our legal forms of ID, we were refused service because 2 of my friends did not have their school ID. After showing the bartender numerous other forms of identification, he adamantly refused to accept anything less than a school ID.This is on top of the bar smelling horrible, the excessive vaping inside, and unfriendly crowd. Will never be returning to this bar but I’d imagine the board of health will shut it down before I had the. Chance to.

Was really excited to try this place tonight because they are known for their burgers. I ordered a couple burgers to go; I will say the bartender was extremely friendly. Got the burger, the first one was delicious... right before I'm about to start on the second one I find a long scraggly hair right in the middle of it; I'm sorry but that's just GROSS ! Unfortunately that ruined my experience (and their cook should be wearing a hair net). I wouldn't go back !

Best damn bar on the main line. Old school...no martini bar or sushi but the best burger you can find. Other menu options will surprise you as well. Their pour is generous and bartenders will remember your name.

Lots of farmers, sarcastic white collar low lifes, and blue collar professionals.

Did not eat here though the burgers looked good. Great OLD school place, mostly intact since the Depression era renovations. Inexpensive drinks, friendly atmosphere. Don't expect a wide selection, not that kind of place. On of the last of its kind on the Main Line.

Came upon this place during a recent visit to the area. Great bartenders and reasonable prices. Good food too. Son-in-law from Austin said it made him think of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
