    Welcome to Bar Jawn in Manayunk small corner bar packed with color and flavor. Cheery bold primary colored sticker laden tables and chairs fill the sidewalk welcoming you into the small bar where a long communal high top table and a handful or more colorful 2 tops offer seating alternatives to the bar. Bar Jawn probably only has room for 30 or so people inside so there is a 90 minute limit. As far as friendliness goes. Bar Jawn is what you would expect from its name and decor. Super friendly. A nice family run place with the kids helping out with table service and bussing. The place is clean and food is served on mismatched China another fun detail. Sadly the food did reach the same level as the vibe and service. The chicken cutlet was overcooked, the cheese steak meat was dry and the bland cottage fries got too soggy under the meat and peppers. The wings were cooked nicely though but almost $19 for 8 wings. They weren't 2 bucks each good. Glad we got to check it out but don't think we would pop in again when in Manayunk.

    This cost money.

    Ordered pizza. Was served a burnt, overpriced flatbread jigsaw puzzle cut into tiny squares like I was being rationed carbs. The crust is carbonized, the cheese is offended, and each piece costs approximately one mortgage payment. Yes, I got a refund -- which was issued with minimal eye contact, fewer words, and the warmth of a DMV line. No apology, no explanation, just vibes that said "please take this refund and leave quietly." Please see photo for the crime scene. Would recommend only if you enjoy artisanal disappointment with a side of silence.

    amazing bar & hangout spot in Manayunk fits right into the neighborhood still serving pizza (barstools 8.1 review) with the addition of tavern pies served dine-in you have to find the bar menu (on the bar) even to realize they have them (not listed on the actual menu) non pizza food options are insanely good either way burgers, wings, cutlets everything was stellar bartender was super nice and churning out espresso martinis ambiance is stellar enjoy #bourdain

    I'm sorry to see all the rough reviews for Bar Jawn. Yes, it's small, it's Manayunk... Great meatball eggs rolls, variety of spritz', rotating taps and the best chicken Caesar salad in Roxborough/Manayunk. Friendly staff, great weekly specials and all around legit Philly spot. We love it here.

    The food was exceptional. Fast and friendly service. Overall amazing experience. The gallery wall of photos of guests gave it a homey vibe.

    Jawn 2.0
    Janese F.

    Good BIG BACK activities going on here. I started with the Triangle Mozzarella Sticks, and they were definitely a hit--the cheese pull was a solid 10/10. Initially craving a sandwich, I found they only had seeded buns. However, our waiter was fantastic and suggested having any sandwich served over fries instead. I opted for the Jawn 2.0 over fries, and it was perfection. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was nice. I'll definitely be returning.

    Cheesesteak with onions.

    I love this place. Down home, servers are so friendly, food is excellent (make sure you get some kind of peppers to cut through the amazing richness of the cheesesteaks), and don't miss the spritzers. Blood orange with gin and champagne. Love it!!

    I had a lovely experience at Bar Jawn. Came on a weeknight and we were sat immediately. The restaurant is a small space, but it's very hip. Feels like a cool neighborhood joint with fun decor. Service was attentive and checked in as needed. The food was a step up!! Elevated bar food with some Italian flair. We tried the smash burger with fries, and a jawn cutlet sandwich with caesar salad. Portions were on point and the cost was consistent with the quality and portions. You won't leave hungry. Everything was absolutely delicious and I love the seeded rolls they use. Crispy exterior with a chewy interior. Looking forward to returning and trying some additional offerings.

    Jumbo wings and cottage fries
    Kelly S.

    Wings were listed as jumbo and smaller than most places,even smaller than the sauce cup fr. They were 18 dollars and didn't come with anything else. Major let down. Mango habanero flavor was really good. The fries we had to ask for salt and heard the table next to us ask for salt too. Our server was super nice and the lychee spritz was delicious and a great size for 15 bucks. The side street was a great place for eating outside.

    20% gratuity for what...OUTTA POCKET!!!!!!!!!!
    malikah a.

    The bill was ridiculous! $172.00 for what? The 20% gratuity charged for bills over $85 is insane. Why are people being penalized for spending more money? It makes no sense. I would think it would be tacked on for checks under $85, not the other way around. The menu said a 20% gratuity would be added to parties of 6 or more, so why was it added to ours? The drinks weren't good, and while the food was hot and tasty, we will never, ever return. What a rip-off. Philly natives beware,Bar Jawn was definitely,outta pocket!

    Fried Ravioli & Mango Habanero Wings
    Nicole C.

    Grabbed some apps here before the Phillies game on Saturday night. There was one table left for walk in's. Reservations are recommended. Me and my husband split and order of fried raviolis and wings. Both the apps were very good. Overall the service was quick, friendly, & accurate. Plus the food came out quickly & was very good! I like what the new owners did to the place. They gave it a nice facelift, way better menu, and great service.

    10/10 this food was straight food for the soul! still dreaming about the mac n cheese bites! so much history on the walls, such a cute place. Service was friendly and food was made with love.

    After the first visit, Bar Jawn has become my favorite restaurant on Main st! Shout out to our lovely waitress , Erin. Food A+ the mozzarella triangle were bigger and better than I expected. Smash burger was def a hit. I truly came for the cottage fries , another form of potato that I love. Their cheese steak fries were awesome as well. My suggestion for drinks for a party of 2 or more..get the Flower Jawn pitcher. It's worth it .

    It's ok. The food is pretty good. The drinks are pretty bad. If you drink beer- this is not your spot.

    For a place called Bar Jawn, I think there could be more beer and wine options. The atmosphere was cute though and staff was nice.

    It's been awhile since we've been and I was so excited because I love blue crabs unfortunately I…read morewas kind of disappointed. I'm not sure why but most of the crabs were empty like void of meat. We ordered 9 crabs and 3 of them were mushy. I hate to write this because we used to love this place, maybe it's too early in the season for the crabs. My husband and son also had burgers and liked them, my drink was good. I'm sure I'll go back but maybe not for crabs.

    First time visit a couple of weeks ago for Friday happy hour. We checked out the inside to decide…read moreif we wanted to sit in there or outside - typically local bar/pub feel with high tops and long bar seating, tvs around the bar area, etc. Because the weather was ok, we decided to sit outside at the wooden tables. We're helped immediately and given the run down on the happy hour specials, which is the reason we came there. Long Island were one of the drinks so we both got that in a strawberry flavor for the first round, a long with some tequila shots. Long Islands were STRONG and mixed very well for the strawberry round we had - we eventually ordered a second round of regular Long Islands that were also made well. Food wise, we initially ordered Mozzarella Sticks, Mac & Cheese Bites and Buffalo Shrimp. Least favorite was the Mac and Cheese Bites - thinking if there was a different sauce pairing then what it came with (tasted like honey mustard) if would've probably been better. Our favorite was the Buffalo Shrimp - it tasted so good! Saucy but not too much, good taste to the sauce - I don't think every buffalo sauce tastes the same - nice crunch to it, good size like jumbo shrimp and good portion on the app. We liked them so much we ordered another basket of them lol. The Mozzarella Sticks were also really good - crispy, tasty and also good portion for an appetizer. Liked the place that's a good happy hour and game watch place. Plan to check them out again.
