If you are looking for discrimination, this is the place to go. They refused entry to a disabled persons because they had a real, professionally trained service dogs with them for mobility support, balance, and seizure alerts. They said they were too busy to have them in there. I guess when it's busy it's okay to discriminated against people who you feel may be undesirable and in the way. Disgusting!!! This incident has been reported to the U.S. Department of Justice for a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. A service dog is a "medical device" You wouldn't tell someone with a wheelchair that they can't come in because their wheelchair would be in the way. Do you not allow crutches when it's busy either? Maybe you should ban hearing aids during Eagles games. In such a great city, it is disappointing to have walked into this place full of ignorant staff. This incident tarnishes an otherwise great experience in the city of brotherly love, just not at this place. read more

This place is ok as far as dive bars go. They let you smoke, and there's a pool table. Here's the thing. I went there a couple of times a week to drink beer, and play pool for months on end. I would often times take all of my employees out there and drop hundreds of dollars. I'm confident that I spent at least $200 at this bar every month. One day I walk in, and this guy Chris comes up to me and says I'm "no longer welcome at this bar". Excuse me? While this may be hard to believe if you're a stranger, I caused no trouble, I tipped well, I kept to myself, played pool and drank beer. That's it. When I asked what the hell he was talking about he refused to answer me. It's really not a big deal, I doubt the owner is going to miss my $2400 a year, but it was aggrovating as all hell. Even if your a dive bar, it's just good practice to take care of your regulars. If you go there, stay away from the fat bearded guy. read more

I have been in there close to 10 times. The beer selection is better than most so called "dive bars" that I have been to. I had food the last time I went in and I thought it was excellent. I asked what was going on because the menu seemed different and I was told that they had a real chef who created the menu etc.... and I kind of was like "yeah O.K" They suggested to me what to try and I have to tell you that it was awesome. I'm not a huge bar food person but it tasted and felt like I was in a restaurant etc........ I hope they will keep that menu and cook in place. The place seemed very friendly to me as I was in with my friend and we talked to other customers the whole night and I had more than a few people buy a round for the different groups I found us in with in a variety of interesting conversations. I really enjoy this place and I will continue to go. read more

We came here on New Year's Day, around 1 PM. We had just experienced the tail-end of the Mummer's Parade (i.e. drunk Mummers in U-Hauls), so we arrived in a confused daze. The afternoon drink specials include $3 bloody Marys, so I drank a couple of those. They were strong and good. The atmosphere was cozy. There were several types of people present, from hipsters to an older, silent man drinking cans of foreign beer and looking sad. (I guess they're not so different.) Their draft selection is enticing, and the menu is full of tasty-sounding bar food. They have single, gender-neutral bathrooms. Pool is free on Mondays. You'll leave smelling like cigarettes. I'll definitely be back. read more

Used to be my fav dive until they hired jerks to bartend. My bf my friend and I got kicked out at 1am for no reason. We were having a great time with the patrons and they booted us like the lazy burnouts the bartenders are. When my bf politely asked them why they just shrugged and said because we can. Very disappointing. If you want to get kicked out from a dive for no reason than come here otherwise be wise and steer clear.Reminds me of the bar from the show Shameless where they try to overcharge and treat some of their patrons like garbage because they think thats what it takes. Hipster douche central. Full of a bunch of transplants who like to pretend this is authentic Philadelphia. read more

I used to go from time to time because one of my friends liked one of the bartenders. 1. Bartenders and owners are racist, but love to espouse how much of a neighborhood bar they are. Believe me, I've heard it with my own ears. 2. No matter how long you are staying, you will smell like an ashtray and so will your pillow if you don't immediately shower when you get home. 3. Apparently, one of the owners (the brother) beat up the other owner (sister): weird. 4. And, I think the sister owner's 16 year old son works there. EEk - who let's their kids work at a smoke filled bar until all hours of the night. Finally, too much weird shit going on in this place. PASS read more

NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I BEEN TOLD- and i quote -"DONT MAKE ME ASK YOU TO LEAVE IN FRONT OF YOUR CHILDREN, YOU ARE THE LOUDEST ONES IN HERE" What bartender threatens patrons for laughing??! Excuse me am I at church? Its a dirty dive bar at best. Laughing is forbidden apparently. Ageism ( 50 plus) and discrimination towards lesbians is apparent. Celebrating as an older female couple was reprimanded! We were there for a good time on a damn Thursday night! Bartender MR JAWN SHIRT is an absolute miserable whatever! Micro......hmmmm. THUMBS DOWN. MISERABLE BARTENDER! read more

I'd give these guys 5 stars just based on Ballz ! Good food, inexpensive drinks, great personalities on staff etc. - but, it's a bar - it cheapens the ranking system otherwise. However, after reading so many douchy and snarky reviews that low-ball good venues, the temptation is compelling to give 12 Steps 5-Stars just to make up for the Nimrods who think that they're LeBan. Oh, and one more thing - they allow smoking - legally too. So, as a smoker, if that bothers you, this is not your 1st choice. And try the grilled cheese sliders - addictive. read more

We stumbled upon this cool little underground bar while exploring the area. My husband and I loved that it had a real local vibe. The bartender was super friendly, and even though they didn't have a ton of options for fancy cocktails, she got creative and made us some tasty drinks. The beer on tap was solid, and the prices were pretty awesome too. The decor has that old-school, cozy basement feel--super dim but kind of neat. Overall, we really enjoyed it and would totally recommend checking it out! read more

Yeah....NO. Tried to eat here once...... at least the fries are ok. Tried to drink here a couple of times - once you get past the wall of smoke that hits you like Mike Tyson's left hook when you open the door, and you finally find a seat somewhere next to a drunken hipster, you still have to wait 45 minutes for the bartenders to stop taking care of their friends and get you one drink. Not very attentive and friendly bartenders at all. Not even a good dive bar in my book - just a shithole read more

worst everrrrrrrrrrrrrrr having lived in South Philly and worked in the bar business my life, this is the most nasty places I have ever been in. The bartender was pretty lucky that i was in a good mood. I would tossed my cash at him so rude if it is a busy day and you cant handle it (if you are in the weeds) let someone know. I guess he didn't want to loss that buck of a tip. Myself along with my frinds will never go back. There a plenty of dive bars these days. read more

This establishment is extremely un professional. Not only are there constant fights but the bald female bartender/manager is usually drunk and her behavior is extremely inappropriate. I've watched her threaten people and felt extremely uncomfortable. I would never recommend this bar to ANYONE or go there again. Mainly due to the bald female bartender/manager who is obviously on a power trip and maybe drugs. read more

THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!!!! I walked into the bar to meet some friends after having one beer with dinner at a local restaurant and some little guy with glasses told me I couldn't come in because I looked drunk....I seriously couldn't believe it...thought it was some sort of joke at first...but he was definitely serious and made me leave! Oh well, makes for a funny story and a negative review! read more

I got grilled cheese sliders and they knocked my socks off. Waitstaff is cool. I didn't really like the decor at all, which subtracts from the feel for me. But for what it is, it's good. Not fancy or hip enough to be a gastro pub in my eyes, but a step above your local corner sports bar. Seems to be a "regulars" bar too. read more

This place is friendly, you can play games and meet up with friends. It is similar to Fergie's Pub or Moriarty's and near the Italian Market. I don't know if it has cult status yet but it has a group of loyal fans. If you don't ever go to bars you should make an exception for this one. read more

Worst bar in South Philly. Do not go unless you are a hipster. Bartenders are assholes and bouncer thinks his job is important. These people pick and chose who they let in this place. Biggest jokes in the city. Have fun sitting in a basement being lowlife hipsters. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. The female bartender with the short black hair is rude and nasty. I won't be back.

Don't forget your ID. My 67 year old husband did not have ID and we had to leave. So I'm read more

First ever racist experience i've had in a bar in 7 year living in the united states....
