I was truly tired of eating Asian food, cheesesteaks, and the usual chains I see back home, so I decided to come here. The first thing that caught my eye, besides the burger, was the steak frites. Boom. Decision made. The steak was well seasoned, cooked to a perfect medium well, and topped with a rich demi glaze. The french fries were piping hot, not overly salty, and the individual ketchup for dipping was a nice touch. I sat at the bar, and my bartender Jonathan was fantastic. Super cool, engaging, and made the experience even better. I ate slowly and savored every bite. Since I was waiting for my train, I did not want anything too heavy, and this turned out to be the perfect meal before leaving Philly. Cheers. read more

Tried the Creekstone Farms 18oz bone-in NY strip and Ora King salmon. The salmon surprised me the most -- subtle coconut flavor with a little heat that actually worked really well. The steak was solid, but honestly... the potatoes stole the show. Butter-soft, rich, and exactly what you want on the side. read more

Been here twice for brunch. I really enjoy the waffles with the fruit on top. The orange juice is my fave. I have also come for restaurant week in 2023 and the chicken sandwich wasn't bad. The dessert of chocolate cake and cheesecake was really good. The place is really cozy and I do enjoy getting there early in the mornings. I believe my waitress was named Ashley (this was well over a year ago), wore glasses, and she was so sweet! I really enjoyed her energy, the conversation, and her checking in on me. I love the brown of the interior. Makes me feel like I'm back in time. It's super chill every time I visit. read more

I was staying at the Loew's last week, so Bank & Bourbon was an easy last stop for an afternoon cocktail before heading off to the train station. It was midday last Friday, and the restaurant was pretty empty; the bar more so. My friend ordered a whiskey flight, which he said was reasonably priced. He's a hardcore craft beer drinker so I was shocked by the beverage choice! I ordered the espresso martini, which was nicely done. Prices were decent and service was pleasant. There are absolutely better spots to visit in this area, but I'm glad to have checked it out. read more

The food here was very good and service is friendly and the restaurant is comfortable with plenty of seats. We ordered the pork chop which was perfectly cooked. It came with broccoli rabe that were also very tasty. We also got the brussel sprouts salad which was delicious, it had cranberries and blue cheese. I added a salmon filet which was also well cooked and seasoned. Our kids got the kids burger and chicken tenders which were big in size. Would recommend if you're in the area or staying at Loews hotel. They do have happy hour also but it's only at the bar. read more

Nice restaurant within a hotel in downtown Philly. I came in after a conference around 8PM and it was fairly busy but I was able to grab a seat at the bar. Service was quick and I ordered the Brussel Sprout salad as an appetizer, it was really good a a nice healthy choice to compliment the burger. The burger and truffle fries were good, the Burger was the right size and the truffle fries were worth the upgrade. I wish I would have tried one of the bourbon flights, maybe next time! read more

My Aunt was staying in the Loews Hotel for a speaking engagement at a conference held there and she asked us to come meet her for dinner. I made reservations for 5 people through the RESY App for 4/6/25. We were seated on time and the service staff was attentive and friendly. We ordered our meals. I ordered the crab soup and Salmon. We had enjoyed our meals until we saw a mouse scurry across the floor in the dining area near our table. This was my first time eating here and I was very surprised that a mouse was present. It made me not want to eat anything else. We didn't notice anything funny about the food or anything but just the thought of there are possibly rodents in the restaurant turned us off. The manager comped what desserts we ordered from our table but honestly we could have caused a more unpleasant scene. It was almost like they know and this is what they do to make up for it. I didn't like that. For the restaurant owners and operators, I wanted to leave a better review but this needs to be addressed immediately. Not sure if this has happened to anyone else but I most likely will not return. And it's unfortunate because the food was delicious. read more

Irene is the best bartender that I've ever encountered, the Grey's Ferry drink that she's the creator of is one of the best I've ever had. Irene's name needs to be added to the name of the drink to credit her accordingly. If you stop here, make sure you to get this game changing drink and I'd also recommend the cheese steak and parmesan rosemary fries. read more

We visited Bank & Bourbon on a quiet Sunday evening, and when I say quiet, I mean it! Our table was the only occupied one in the restaurant when we arrived. The calm atmosphere and romantic lighting had its charm but also felt a bit strange for such a well-known spot smack in the middle of Center City. The food left us with mixed impressions. I ordered the trout, which was cooked properly but didn't have any standout flavors. My wife had the risotto, and while it was perfectly fine, it was just that, fine. Nothing was bad, but neither dish inspired much excitement. The drinks were definitely the highlight, though. My wife's martini was perfect, and my Rusty Nail was just the right balance of bold and smooth. Neither drink is terribly complicated, but the top-notch ingredients and care in preparation and presentation were obvious. If you're stopping by, the bar is clearly where they shine. Service was friendly but not particularly attentive, which was surprising given how slow the restaurant was. We had to wait longer than expected for drink refills, check-ins and the check. So would I come back for dinner? Certainly not, especially at the prices they charge. I would be happy to drop by the bar to sample from their extensive bourbon, whiskey and scotch collection for a nightcap if I were staying in the area. read more

The food selection was vibrant and flavorful, and the cocktails were tasty. I was however disappointed in the atmosphere *despite it being below a hotel as I am aware*, it did feel like we were in the middle of a hotel lobby as opposed to a stylish modern industrial whiskey bar as we had anticipated. Our server was kind but inattentive. read more

I actually really like the food and drink at bank and bourbon. The service is awful. I have been twice and both times had a terrible experience. The first time I went I sat and at the bar and the person behind the bar left. No big deal, but it took a long time for literally anyone to get back behind the bar. And then randomly there were suddenly 4 people behind the bar. When I wanted to pay my check again no one was there. I waited for a while until finally an employee happened to be around me and I flagged him down. I went early for happy hour so it wasn't crowded or anything. The second time I went we were seated at a table. The server gave us water and then didn't come back. We tried waiting but after a long while I flagged down another random employee asking if we could order. Meanwhile it took us a while to flag anyone down because anyone who did happen to appear kept walking past our table fast avoiding looking at us. When we wanted the check again we couldn't find anyone. During this instance there were two bartenders the whole time but since we didn't order from the bar I didn't want to disturb them. I loved the cheese board both times. The drinks were good. I just found it to be extremely difficult to order, close out, or anything similar. read more

Had eggs benedict with rolled pork (which is supposed to be local.) I don't understand the name because it was flat not rolled. Food and coffee very good. I had tomato juice but too warm. Server Airee was great and got me ice to chill the juice. Excellent choice for breakfast and I am certain other meals should be great. Only negative was after the meal, I looked from someone at the hotel to tell me how to use the lavatory. The front desk was busy and no one was at concierge. It took quite a while. Forgot one egg had a firm yolk and not runny like the other one. read more

We had an exceptional experience at Bank&Bourbon! It's chic and had excellent service. Enjoyed one of their specialty cocktails and shared a delicious selection of small plates. However, the highlight of the night was sharing 3 of the desserts. Truly next level in terms of taste, textures and execution of all the details! Their pastry chef is clearly passionate about what they're creating. Don't skip dessert and definitely would highly recommend B&B ! read more

The food at Bank and Bourbon was very good. I went with a coworker for lunch during Restaurant Week. It was $20 for an entree and dessert. A good deal! The hostess was welcoming and seated us quickly. Water glasses were filled immediately and bread was brought to the table. The bread was very good. The server also greeted us quickly. The restaurant has modern decor. It is quite busy at lunch but wasn't loud. The menu had 3 entree choices and 2 dessert choices. The arugula salad with asparagus, peas and a mint dressing along with a decent piece of salmon was delicious. The salad was chilled but the salmon was perfectly warmed. My coworker had the steak and fries which were also very good. The portions were a good size without being overwhelmingly large. We had to take our desserts to go so we could get back to work. The chocolate cake was a large piece. It was delicious. The butterscotch cheesecake was extremely small even though the 2 men next to us had pieces that were double the size. The server did exchange the piece for a larger one. read more

August 10 2023 - 4 for dinner. I am just disappointed to even be posting this review other than to say the hospitality business in Philly is in deep trouble if a flagship hotel like this has staff and management that is this out of touch with the norms and expectations of the general public let along at an 'upscale' hotel chain like Loews. I don't have many 1 star reviews, usually I just delete the pictures and try to forget the whole experience. BUT maybe Bank and Bourbon can take some feedback, make some changes, lead and manage their way out of this?? OR until then another Yelper can avoid my mistake.......its why I post reviews in the first place. The service at the bar and then at the restaurant was simply abysmal. I felt like we were to 'blame' for these folks having to actually come to work and do something? Not chronologically millennials but the attitude and attention to the diners was totally absent. Like govt workers? On a Thursday night it was almost empty to boot except one large group. The costs and resulting wine portions were almost insulting for the labels and cellars being consumed. Same with with the martini and mixed beverages. It was like 4x the cost of the already outrageous PA LCB wholesale costs...... So a double negative - EXPENSIVE and PITFUL service. When the disjointed 4 entrees eventually all arrived the salmon diner was insanely massive (I guess to justify the price) and the Amish Half chicken was also very large. Honestly BOTH meals were well cooked and tasted good mostly. But our experience there was already ruined by tracking down wait staff and getting orders straitened out, trying to order drinks, even have our first drink order taken?? We almost left TWICE and should have gone the FIRST time we thought we should have??? Oddly we had multiple different salads and entrees that had the same mustard style dressing? My wife's TROUT with cipollini onions, haricot verts, baby arugula, caper-brown butter had the same mustard tasting dressing as my BRUSSEL SPROUTS SALAD with cranberries, pecans, held the fog goat cheese, champagne vinaigrette dressing that was also heavily mustard flavered??? I actually did NOT go around the corner to Vedge one of my favorite restaurants in the country up there with PerCe, Bouchon, French Laundry, Le Bec Fin, etc etc. and had friends come to the Lowes for the easy parking and the fact that we were staying there???? I am a Lifetime Titanium Elite with Marriott brands and opted NOT to stay there across the street for LESS money per night because of my status and 40 years of staying with them. This was my second stay with Loews Hotels in my 40 years of travel. I have never eaten at a brand restaurant hotel that was this bad with service? Our guest couple own/have owned multiple/ restaurants in Bucks County and a currently a major Wedding venue as well. They were shocked. What a mistake and disappointment. read more

Bank & Bourbon offers breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, with an extensive drink list. We came here as a large group for a later dinner, and we ordered the following starters: +Charred Romain Caesar Salad - with romesco, sourdough croutons, and a lemon-caesar dressing +Grilled Octopus - with shishitos, tomato confit, and a red onion vinaigrette +Seafood Chowder - with lump crab, creme fraiche, and herbs - this was stated as having a bit of a kick, so if you're not into spicy, avoid! For shareable sides, we had: +the Parmesan Rosemary Fries - the parm could have been layered and sprinkled throughout +Chive-Roasted Local Mushrooms - I love mushrooms, and this was my favorite for the night; could have eaten multiple servings of these! +Roasted Baby Carrots - with tarragon-honey butter; the carrots were not really 'baby'-sized, but they could have been roasted more; most of them were pretty raw +Smashed Fingerlings - served with herb butter; some of these were overbaked and more on the dryer side, and the skins were tough For the entree, I had the Sixty-South Salmon - this came with a sambal-maple glaze, sweet potato succotash, and miso butter; the fish was very overcooked and very dried out. The sambal-maple glaze made it hard to chew, as it was super hard. Wasn't sure where the miso butter was. The sweet potato succotash was just okay, but could have been seasoned. I also tried their Blueberry Pie for dessert, which was more of a tart - topped with a blueberry compote and a scoop of crumb cake ice cream, this was just okay; I did enjoy the generous amount of blueberries, but the crust was very dry and crumbly. Service was very friendly; I wished extra silverware or larger spoons were offered with each of the side dishes, as we did keep requesting for extra wares. I also wished that they left pitchers of ice water at the table, as most of our drinks were waiting to be refilled. The vibe of the restaurant is dark and chic, and this place seems to be a favorite choice for HH. +Chive-Roasted Local Mushrooms +friendly service read more

Family and I were in town over the Thanksgiving holiday and made reservations here. Great idea!! Do not believe the negative reviews and "we had to wait" whine. It's Thanksgiving, it's busy, very busy but it's busy because the selection offered is great. Yep, it was loud, a little crowded and worth the wait. Our server got to us, got drink orders and we were off to enjoy a tremendous buffet. Traditional Thanksgiving turkey and sides, prime rib, crab oysters and shrimp. Desserts out the a&&. Wish I remembered our servers name, he was great. read more

What a cool spot! Stopped here to have drinks while visiting a friend in Philly. We both had d Fashioneds, me with Makers, my friend with Bulleit Rye. My only "critique" was the small ice cubes instead of one large one. We also had garlic parm fries and some really good buffalo wings. The servers are attentive. It's in the lobby of the Loews hotel but the vibe is not like your average hotel lobby lounge. Good place for after work/post-sightseeing drinks. I would definitely utter go again if I was in Philly. read more

On a holiday family outing at to the Philly Christmas Market we chose to have our special dinner here. Our bill came to almost $600 and I was disappointed. Since we were a family of 6 a 20% tip was immediately added to the bill whether the server deserved it or not, she did not. She wasn't nasty just clearly did not want to be there. For example, when we asked if there were any specials (like most upscale restaurants have) her response was quite short "whatever's on the menu" and then walked away. Asking for bread was an annoyance as well. The food was fair. The trout, salmon and branzino dish were tasty, the steak was cooked accordingly however, the risotto was inedible. I do not know what was in it but tasted like a mouthful of perfume! Both my daughter and I could not finish even half of it. Upon seeing that our dinner was basically untouched, a decent server should inquire but nope. Mine was taken away without even asking if I wanted it packed up. Shared four desserts and espressos which were pretty good. The coconut ice cream was worth trying. Unfortunately nothing really amazing. I'd say I would return for cocktails because the ambiance was nice but there wasn't even a cherry in my $18 old fashioned. We will be trying a different restaurant next time in Philly. read more

Super nice restaurant, some of the best food I've had, and it proves that the only reason anyone should ever have to go to Philly is the excellent food. I ordered the filet mignon, which melted in my mouth, with a gorgeous, medium rare center, and a crisp, flavorful crust. Side dishes included some mashed sweet potatoes and broccoletti, which were all delicious and seasoned to perfection. This steak was $57, and it was worth it. I had a bite of my friend's octopus too, which was outstanding. Only complaint I have is the small menu, otherwise this place, while pricey, is awesome. My boss paid for everyone's dinner, so that wasn't a problem in the slightest. read more

I came to Bank & Bourbon for a special event with another great business on location, Joseph Anthony Retreat Spa. We got to sip on finely made cocktails, enjoy a beautiful spread of charcuterie, cheese, veggies AND get a massage and facial. Cured meat and a back rub? Sign me up! To get to the event space you walk through the low lit, romantic dining room and bar area. This type of place has the power to send you back in time to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. The private back area is a great event space, it's intimate, well decorated and suitable for any occasion. The food spread was delicious and the cocktails were on point! I had a chance to talk with the manager, and it felt like I was talking with a friend. In my opinion, friendly staff is what takes the food, beverage and hospitality industry from good to great. I can't wait to come back so I can dive in to the rest of the menu! read more

My second time here. First time was for brunch. This time dinner. They had a limited menu. And a mean it was very limited. I ordered seafood chowder. It was very bland. Had a good amount of crab in it. It was vegetables soup based. The trout was good. Cooked perfect. And the Parmesan truffle fries. Our waiter Jonathan was okay. I think he had too many tables. We asked about splitting the bill and he says it would take forever. 3 minutes later he comes back with split bills that was very interesting. I will come back with my boyfriend so he can do the bourbon tasting. Hopefully the menu will not be as limited. read more

Bank & Bourbon was our choice for Valentine's Day. This was my 1st time here. I liked the open space! We were greeted and seated immediately. Our waiter was phenomenal. He was very attentive. We never had to look for him for assistance. We had a small menu for Valentine's Day which was $85 per person which included. Appetizer, entree, and dessert. Both cocktails were delicious. The appetizers were okay. The entrees were good. I did ask for a side of mash potatoes or whipped potatoes to accompany the steak and learned that they do not offer mash/whipped potatoes.

Some of the best food in the city! My husband and I came here for our anniversary and I am sure we just found our special occasion restaurant. The appetizers were delicious. I highly recommend the pork belly. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. I've never tried duck before but I did try the crispy duck leg and it was delicious. The fried burrata was amazing as well. For dinner we shared the filet. It is a huge serving to share. We still had leftovers that were very much enjoyed at home the next day. I personally don't eat a lot of red meat but this filet was very flavorful. For desert we shared a triple layer chocolate cake. It came with marshmallows and ice cream that was so incredibly creamy. The facility is spacious and clean. Very modern and sleek. Every member of the staff that we encountered was fantastic. Our server, Jenna, was on the ball making sure our drinks were topped off and that we had everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Bank and Bourbon and can't wait to come back!
