The service was pretty bad! The bartenders were not very polite and eve though we asked for some suggestions on what to drink (we’re out of Townes) they were not polite nor helpful ..

Bartender was completely unreasonable. Came in with a group but I only ordered a few drinks. A few moments later, she hands me a bill for over 12 people. I asked to split the bill and pay for the drinks I only ordered. The bartender said no and, since there was a group, she said I should have told her that I wanted to split beforehand (even though I didn’t order the other drinks). Very rude, I do not recommend this place.

Stopped in for a light lunch and had some amazing wings along with some beautiful drinks! Food was delicious, server was friendly and gave us great drink suggestions. Food came out hot and perfectly cooked! Would definitely return!!

Small and decent bar in Philly, very less staff on the floor, an amazing bartender Ericka. The place seemed tiny with the bar filling up most of it, I think there are dining areas further inside but there is no one eating there. Everyone was at the bar. The only bar I went to in Philly that had someone check ID at the front door. We were there for drinks, had a few beers and an old fashioned, and Adios MF (custom made). The bar tender is really professional and friendly. She could make any drink you ask for. We also tried a couple of appetizers. Fries pickles and cheesesteak egg rolls, quantity size they are plenty and delicious. This place is a must try if you would like good drinks and light conversations at the bar.

This place used to be a dive bar with a good reputation. A rich dude bought it cause he was bored and changed it all up, now I don't really know who the place is supposed to cater too. Mostly tourist and out of towners drop in here, used to have more regulars back when it was still a dive. The food and beverage is unremarkable for the price.

This place is dirty. Dust on the holiday decorations from the winter (its summer) and dust hanging all over it and over your food. They try to justify that a dirty drinking glass is ok, they don't have towels. Im sure the owner has something to say, but don't take my word - you can check this place out on Philly's health inspection site. They also offer Veterans discounts - wanna honor veterans? Serve them beverages in clean glasses.

It was just meh. It’ll do. Place was neat, a little cramped and pretty casual. Food was underwhelming. Not much flavor to it. Ordered the Philly steak egg roles and it was flavorless. The Sriracha ketchup was delicious but that’s ketchup and hard to mess up. Their signature burger was better. Definitely headed in the right direction. Little more spice would have been good. Their Mac was delicious though! Noodes cooked just right and the cheese sauce was made from scratch with some good garlic flavor you it.

Cold cheese steak. Good fries. Two stars. Let's go over this. I got my beefsteak super late. I missed my own wedding.

Ended up at this bar accidentally after a ghost tour. The bar we meant to go to was literally across the street. We walked in and were kindly greeted by security who instructed us where we should be, and how we were not there. He carded us, since I was accompanied by someone who appeared to be a minor - she was not. The bar was clean, not well lit, but that was OK in terms of the proper ambiance and the music was exactly what we needed on this chili night when you know all the words and can work up a sweat singing! Five stars for that! The hot apple cider was to die for and Bartender was extremely friendly. We ended up buying a T-shirt because they were phenomenally hysterical! So happy we accidentally ended up here instead of across the street!

Awesome place for locals and visitors. The groups we've brought here for rounds of drinks and cheesesteaks loved their experience to get the true sense of a Philly bar.

Portions are huge. My grilled shrimp was served on a bed of rice. Too much rice as compared to shrimps. But a big bummer was due to the flies in the restaurant, maybe due to the heat. You had to constantly keep swatting it away. Not fun.
