Cozy spot on Fairmount Ave with a mostly relaxed atmosphere. They serve their own Brewery Techne drafts, tried their Tropicali sour and it was okay but a milder flavor. Menu has a wide variety of options that seem to rotate often, and they have brunch on the weekends as well. Tried the Hygge burger and it was quite tasty. Nicely grilled up with melted cheddar on a good brioche that held together well. Fries were thick cut and seasoned quite well. Would like to come back and try some of the other plates, thanks.
A local favorite - this place always has something new to try. We like the vibes and sitting outdoors on nice weather days. It's located right on Fairmont and it's easy walk for us. It's pretty easy to get reservations or to walk in, and we love the neighborhood vibes the place provides. On our last visit we chose things off their vegetarian menu - the ricotta toast, beet salad, some cheese curds, and their grain bowl! We honestly couldn't finish everything and packed up most of our entree for another time. Everything was well made and served in a timely fashion. We had great service and enjoyed our time. Be sure to check them out!
We have come here few times in the past few years, last time being yesterday just for an early dinner date. We like it but don't quite love it. The food is good enough but there's always something missing in it for us. The drinks are great, however. We like the interior, service is good. It's just not one of those really great food places for us. This last time we had oysters (they had NJ and Canada); then they quickly ran out of NJ ones, so for the second round we could only order one remaining kind (it was 7pm, maybe those were popular all day, who knows). We had deviled eggs, which were great! But then we had chicken mousse toast and it was okay. The mousse was great, but the bread was just a regular store-bought not very fresh bread. And that's what I mean...it's always something every time we come. We know what to expect I guess, so solid 4 stars for the place.
We loved everything about this place. Good beers and good food. I was surprised that the bar food was more elicited than most places and was pleasantly surprised how good everything was. Our table enjoyed the burger, chicken sandwich, oysters and cheese curds along with many different beers and VERY good espresso martinis. Service was great and vibes were good. We sat inside but saw that there was also outside seating for nice nights and/or if you want to bring your dog. We luckily got a parking spot right out front on a Thursday night.
I really enjoyed the hot coffee - it tasted like a perfect cup of Joe. The cups themselves had speckles and reminded me of a ski cabin. BEET & PISTACHIO SALAD - not heavy on the goat cheese or dressing, which I think is a good thing AVOCADO TOAST - solid Would love to try the home fries and mushroom barley burger next time.
A Friday evening at Bar Hygge couldn't have been more enjoyable. We chose to sit outdoors on a gorgeous late‑spring night, and the warm and breezy vibe was welcoming. The staff was great--friendly, attentive, and accommodating without being overbearing. Considerate timing of our order made for a wonderful flow to our meal. We split the Salmon Ceviche, which arrived with creamy guacamole and crisp house‑made tortilla chips. It was a crisp and flavorful start. The chips were so sturdy we asked for more--no collapsing under the toppings! For my entree I ordered the roasted oysters and the Manchurian Cauliflower which was bright and well‑seasoned--yum. The roasted oysters were fresh and flavorful, with a delicious mix of oil, salt, and poblano pepper. We paired everything with their in‑house Dragon Tears beer--a colorful, fruity brew concocted in accordance with Drexel's Food Sciences department and was nice complement to the meal. We couldn't leave without trying the Hygge Tasty Cake, which is inspired by the classic Tastykake Kandy Kake. There was plenty to share, and the dark chocolate/peanut butter/chiffon cake was decadently satisfying. Can't wait to return to this feel-good neighborhood dinner spot!
Spoiler alert; This is a no for me. Bar Hygge is in Eastern State Penitentiary's neighborhood. It was very busy. I grabbed a seat at the bar from a couple that was leaving. They have approximately 8 taps. I got the Lemon Meringue. Mostly because I wanted to say Lemon Meringue. Getting a beer based on name because they don't have a beer on tap that you usually get. Then you like the beer you got. Is that bad because they don't have something you know you'll like or is it good because I tried something new and liked it?? The bartender recommended the crab fries. The crab topping was pretty tasty. The fries were a thicker cut, under cooked and soaked in oil. Sidebar - 2 days later I took my leftover crab fries. I scraped off the topping. Put fries in microwave for a minute. Then in Air Fryer for 5 minutes. Put the topping back on - Don't judge, I'm am stubborn and frugal - They were 1268% better. I had a win the shirt off my back winner.
Tried the 7 badger beets which were ok. I felt the beets and labneh lacked flavor and were scant. Bread and butter was good though. I did like that there was a section for vegetarian options on the menu to choose from. Would give this place another try if the opportunity arose.
One of the best brunches I've ever had!! I was so enamored by this Philly spot with absolutely great service. Everything we ate was done to perfection. The French toast was a dream. The veggie burger has earned its reputation--and then some! The jacked up home fries rocked. My only regret is not ordering even more!
I ordered the burger medium well. I think it was a bit dry and over cooked but otherwise the food was good! I liked the fries and the food came out relatively quick so good service. There isn't much on the menu so idk if I'll be back but it seems like a good spot for just drinks!

In May, My sister and I were in Philly for the evening to see Ari Lennox and we needed food!! My sister found this spot online, and it had good reviews. We had an amazing experience. I ordered two orders of the Roasted Oysters as Starters and I ordered the Mushroom Barley Veggie Burger w/Fries and an additional side of Brussel Sprouts. Everything was finger licking good. We shared everything and it was perfect. read more
Cute neighborhood bar with nice decor and better-than-expected bites. Came here around 4:30 on a Sunday after wandering the area, and even at that weird time they had other business. We shared a bunch of small plates and the seasonal pea gnocchi - everything was good, kind of surprisingly so (I feel like American bar food is usually meh), but the best things were the gnocchi and Manchurian cauliflower. Wouldn't really make a special trip to come back, but would definitely stop in again if I was around! read more

Came in for brunch, everything was tasty but the poached egg on the home fries was wayyyy overcooked. Sat at the bar, great service, would definitely come back but there's a significant time difference between poached and hard boiled, this shouldn't happen. read more

The decor/outdoor seating is aesthetically pleasing. It was a breezy night so they offered blankets which was a very nice touch! Appreciated that very much! Food: ordered the beet & pistachio salad which was excellent! Very flavorful and not as small in size as expected. Also ordered the fried chicken sandwich with fries and ehhhhh, was underwhelming. The chicken was soggy (definitely not crispy). Gave us about 10 fries which was disappointing as well - was so sparce. Menu: pretty limited. No seasonal items available which was sad. read more

You ever go somewhere with decent expectations and then walk out like, "Okay, well now I have trust issues because how was it that good?" That was this place. The pictures I took don't even come close to doing the food justice--it's like watching a movie trailer and then realizing the actual movie is 10x better. Service? Great. They coursed out our meal like they were planning a wedding. Everything arrived with perfect timing, and I was genuinely impressed. Now let's talk about the fried pickle chips on the chicken bites. Whoever came up with that combo deserves a raise, a hug, and probably a key to the city. Absolute genius. So stupid good. I got the chicken sandwich, and it was incredible. The sauce? I don't even know what was in it, but if they bottled it, I'd invest. We also tried the Hygge Burger. I was a little skeptical when I saw "brisket," but it was like a delicious secret tucked inside the patty. One of the best burgers I've had--but to be fair, I was also a couple "Espress Yourself" martinis deep, so my taste buds were busy doing a happy dance and probably not thinking too critically. No complaints although it was a bit pricey. Shoutout to our waitress Morgan. She was great. read more
Food was pretty good. I thoroughly enjoyed both types of oysters. The aperol spritz was wonderful. My partner said the ribs were delicious. The ricotta toast could have had more of a sauce, will it does come with hot honey, I felt it overall lacked in flavor. The crispy brussels were definitely worth the rave as far as taste, if you get them will one of the board options they probably make more sense. Service was good. Ambiance I can't speak much for as we sat outside, but the outside atmosphere was lovely. Would definitely come back, would definitely come for drinks and oysters. read more

Very fun local bar/bistro! We came in a Saturday night and made a reservation even though every time slot was available. We are glad we did because when we showed up there was a wait, but we were seated immediately. For drinks, we ordered the house G&T and the spiced sangria. The gin and tonic was probably one of the best I have had! Very refreshing. We ended up getting one of the boards w/ the Mac n Cheese balls, fried artichoke, and the nimbus cheese. The fried artichoke was the highlight! The cheese was good but wanted more of it and the Mac n Cheese balls were delicious but wished they were a little warmer! We both got the burger for dinner! It was amazing! One of the best burgers and fries I have had in the city. And then we finished with the pretzel donut holes. Although tasty, they really could've used a sauce like caramel or chocolate as they were a bit dense alone. All in all fun experience! We want to come back for happy hour. read more
Loved coming here for brunch. Service was excellent & attentive. I personally had the eggs Benedict which I would deff get again. We split the hash brown dish for the table which I would recommend highly. Everyone else had delicious meals as well! The biscuits and gravy or something I was really surprised about. Definitely wanna come back here. Also, if you're looking for a nice wine selection, they have a little wine and beer store in the front. read more

This is my all time favorite spot in the neighborhood. Whenever I have someone from out of town, I always bring them here for the beer, the pickle pot, the truffle butter, and the fries. I am totally a chicken caesar salad and french fries girlie, and these fries are THICK. They come with a house made aioli, and it is absolutely STUNNING. I get the same thing every time, however once I did come in for brunch and again, it did not miss. The servers are always so nice and the ambiance is relaxing and calming. Perfect spot for a date night or a night out with friends! read more

Lovely place. Went for brunch for the first time. Simple menu, attentive server, nice selection of zero proof drinks. Looking forward to coming back! read more
We are here again! We enjoy this place, cute, big and open with inside and outdoor (no heat lamps) eating. The drinks tho!! Yum! I had the dirty chai and wife had the Irish coffee. So so yummy and strong pour. Yes! The burger was just ok. I would opt for real fries next time. The 'home fries' were ok, crispy and flavorful but the fries on another table looked better. My wife got the sausage and biscuits. Keep in mind they serve the eggs in top (sunny side up). Our server was attentive and corrected it as wifey prefs the scrambled. The sausage and biscuits were ok. Nothing amazing... just the depth of flavor missing. However, it was ok. We were there for brunch and they may have a more expansive dinner menu. I know we will be back. Stay tuned! read more
