Fun place to pop into on Main St. good beer selection and great food options for people that want bar food but with a twist! Service was attentive. We have ordered takeout from here before and I will say, their pizzas and cheesesteaks are stellar. Not gonna lie, I didn't love the vodka pasta. I was glad I got the cutlet on top because it was good but I felt like the sauce was less vodka style and more like a red pepper saix. I wouldn't order again BUT I would still come back and get something else! read more

Sadly not a spot I recommend nor will I go back. Heard mixed reviews and now I know why. Seating is limited and incredibly uncomfortable. The food was ok but crazy expensive for the quality and amount. It's on the menu but easy to miss that the prices are CASH prices. The customers pay for the restaurants card charges. Automatic tips for tabs over $85 but it's never mentioned by the server, nor is it listen on the receipt. The receipt even still had the section for tip for 20%, 22%, or 25% which is INSANE to include if you're already being charged the tip fee.... $168 for lunch for 4 people is wild, especially because we didn't have any alcohol which is what usually jacks the bill price. Mac & cheese egg rolls-crispy and gooey cheese with a buffalo cheese dip. Very bland without the dip. Mozzarella triangles fried cheese- very cheesy and crispy. Not much flavor. Smash burger- tender and juicy. Cheese steak meat and tasted like a cheese steak with sauce. Fries are cool and creative. Mamas meatballs- very bland and flavorless. Clearly frozen meatballs Our sever was the best part. She was super sweet, nice, and attentive. read more

Cheesesteak nachos stole the show and that was honestly all the food we should have ordered. Also ordered the vodka pasta with the chicken cutlet. The cutlet was stellar as expected but the vodka pasta was more of a straight up red sauce. The baseline for vodka pasta in the area is L'angolo, Maria's and pinas. As for the pizza it was my first time ordering a circular pie from bar jawn. The grandma is amazing and has been my go to for years. This pie was cut like tavern style and not typical 8 slices. Pizza was okay. Have ordered the cheesesteak before but not this time where it clocks in the best in the area. All and all a solid eat in spot. read more

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. read more

Ordered a cheesesteak to go. Parking can be tough in this neighborhood but they didn't take too long and I was out of there pretty quickly. Decent cheesesteak. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I had a great time watching the Eagle win! There was only one table left so I sat and waited for my friend and his 3 year old daughter. The place was real festive considering the football game and everyone was rooting for our time the Philadelphia Eagles . It was my first time since the new ownership and the vibe was great and the staff was great from the moment I walked in. The Parmesan chicken was hot, and tasty. I loved it and it was so much food. The pasta was al dente yum read more

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. read more

Bar Jawn - Cheesesteak with onions. - Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

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. read more

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. read more

Bar Jawn - Jumbo wings and cottage fries - Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

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! read more

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. read more

Ordered online for delivery, they said my order would be delivered at 5p. At 5p I get a text message saying it was cancelled, and my only option is to contact the store. I have called 10 times- no one has answered. I am livid. This is unacceptable for a real business..I will never eat here again and will share this experience with anyone else who lives in the area and advise against them also eating here. RIP pizza jawn. read more

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 . read more

As far as a bar experience goes - this is a must visit. I think to be successful down on main street manayunk, you have to have a clear differentiator. While the bar itself may feel like any other down this strip (TV's for sports, nice draft list, indoor/outdoor seating), they really take it to another notch with their menu. My friend and I literally had to mentally plan in advance, what we wanted to order, because there was so much we were interested in. They certainly have a lean towards "Italian" style dishes (pasta, meatballs, chicken parm, etc.) but they somehow have also kept it rooted in a casual bar finishing. I don't know where to best guide you - my advice would be to close your eyes, point to a couple places on the menu, and you'll probably be happy. We tried their meatball egg rolls, which I think are a clear stand out here. Not only is it a creative take on meatballs, but they are cooked perfectly - crispy on the outside, tender on the inside - and positioned standing up on a bed of red sauce. Their sauce is delicious and it's a genius play for that first bite being smothered and every nook and cranny being packed with flavor. Their south philly chopped cheese and jawn cutlet sandwich are what we chose to split, and both were bomb. Flavors hit, but they also didn't skimp on any of the ingredients. While some of the other dishes we had were good, we didn't feel as impressed by them. The mac & cheese was kind of basic - and with how creative they are with their sandwiches and additional app's, this is one that can kind of get lost in the mix of "memorable dishes." Different strokes for different folks - they serve is more of a "soupy" cheesy dish - I think a panko crusted top would make a big difference. Also, the cheesecake egg rolls. Served similar to the meatballs, where they are cut in half and sit in a base (whipped cream base for the dessert.) I don't know if it's just the idea of having fried-cheesecake where it can feel a little over indulgent or too decadent. I think actually having fresh fruit added to it could help. It's good to have on the menu nonetheless, but not likely what we would go back for. One big compliment we usually have for restaurants we visit is can the answer be yes to "do we want to come back to try more things?" This is a definite yes for us, however, it did feel slightly limited for vegetarians. Definitely worth checking out! read more

small but hip spot located in downtown manayunk! the menu was quite large, there were so many things that i wanted to order, my friend and i had a hard time choosing. we started with the frozen cocktails which were delightful for a hot day. for our appetizer, we got the mango habanero wings with a side of ranch which were tender and had the perfect amount of spice. for our mains, we both got the jawn 2.0 m which was the largest, most insane sandwich i have ever seen. the sandwich contained two smash patties, shaved ribeye, fried mozzarella, a cutlet, and more. our waitress suggested that we share one order but we thought we were hungry and each ordered our own... lesson learned, we had leftovers for days. the sandwich itself was quite delicious albeit extremely dense and difficult to eat, and the fries were perfectly crispy and satisfying. overall a solid spot! the service was quick, and our waitress was amazing. we definitely should have taken her suggestion and split the jawn 2.0. i'd be interested in trying some of their other menu items! read more

I've lived in Manayunk for the last 5 years and only been here 2 times and the 2nd time, I remember why I don't go anymore compared to all the other great places on Main Street Food is delicious, service is always friendly and great, drinks were good but continue reading... The owners seem like they're just trying to put all their expenses on customers...On the menu, it says something like "all credit card charges are customers responsibility". First, that is against the credit cards companies user agreement, they are not legally allowed to put those expenses on customers and can be reported for it. The prices on the menu aren't correct since they tack those charges onto each individual item so $14 turns into ~$14.42 on the bill. Then there is a 20% auto gratuity on bills $85+ and for 2 ppl, that's easy to reach. After all that, they charge you sales tax AND 10% LIQUOR TAX!!! Please show your patronage to other wonderful restaurants in the neighborhood who aren't trying to push all their fees onto the customer read more

Solid cheesesteak, solid smash burger and the mozzarella triangles were phenomenal. Definitely recommend.

Naw...this ain't it. Pulled up to Bar Jawn for a nice drink and dinner this past weekend and can't lie ya girl wasn't impressed. Also, if you know the previous bar that was there, it looks exactly the same still inside. The host sat us down quickly by the window which was cute. The menu changes weekly so you'll likely have something new each time you go. The menu was cool with a variety of choices. But baybee the wings...the only food that called my hunger was soo dry and not well cooked. Didn't eat it. I think my expectations were high because of the cool chef feature etc etc. BUT the drinks were solid and I'd def be back for a happy hour. read more

My lady and I were so excited to check this place out. It started off strong.. snagged a table & sipped the frozen limoncello (which was delicious and deserved 5 stars) & the guava margarita while waiting on our food. But as we grabbed our napkin wrapped utensils in preparation for our food's arrival, we found mouse droppings on the plates underneath. Not the kinda thing you want to see before eating. I let our waitress know, and she nonchalantly asked if we still needed the plates. Which was weird as hell. We said no, and she walked away. We thought perhaps the manager would come over, but nope. The waiter returned 2 mins later with our food. We couldn't eat, so i can't reveiw the cacio fe pepe wings or the adult mac and cheese we ordered & paid for. That sucked. *Another downside - there's no prices listed on the menu. So the bill is a surprise read more

Bar Jawn - Obligatory drink photo before the shit hit the fan. - Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Checked out new ownership and testing menu over at Bar Jawn (soon to be formerly manayunk tavern) My wife and I decided to share everything - so we got the stuffed long hots (no picture but take my word they were delicious), cheesesteak, and drunk chicken parm and some cocktails Stuffed long hots - everything tasted fresh and the sauce had a little kick to which I definitely enjoyed. Good appetizer to share Cheesesteak - good roll and meat quality but no onions and pretty light cheese. Not sure if fried onions are available as an option but would love to be able to add! Drunk chicken parm - insane plate. Chicken parm was juicy and crispy and delicious; Pasta was prepared perfectly and the vodka sauce had the perfect spice to it. Worth the price tag on the big plate because it's definitely enough to share Frozen limoncello - never heard of this until bar Jawn and I like to think I'm pretty well versed in cocktails. Highly highly recommend Guava marg - just a generally good marg also recommended Overall - for a brand new spot still figuring it all out, it's worth the 5 stars to me. Service was good and ambiance is hard to comment on since I believe they have plans to change things around. Definitely check it out read more

Bar Jawn I was here in January; 2 times once with one of my girlfriends and again with my children. Rating from 1-10 It was a cool vibe. The drinks were amazing you can easily run up a check without even realizing it because the service was amazing and the server were attentive. It is a small establishment however it was a good vibe. 10/10 I will definitely come back again for drinks they were bomb! read more

Loved bar jawn! Very fun vibes and enjoy the current rotating menu. One negative was no air conditioning (just fans on in the summer). The drinks were STRONG like very very good but you only need one. The perfect casual but classy date night spot. Great bar space. Also no prices on the menu was a little sus? Ended up being $110 for 2 entrees, an app and 2 drinks, is that a little high for cheeseburgers? I wish they had a more cohesive vibe with servers/more experienced servers. Server at the end asked for our table and I jokingly said I felt rushed and then he got the hint. We had only been there 40 minutes. The mozzarella triangles were top tier but I feel like bar jawn has so much more potential then what they are giving. Suggestions: AC, prices on menu, staff meetings before service, different plates/current ones aren't the vibe I would probably give this place a 3.5 stars but I want them to succeed so bad! read more

I really wanted to like this place after seeing the menu but was very disappointed. I ordered two items which totaled to about $50 so my expectations were high. I ordered the buffalo chicken eggs rolls. They were smothered in hot sauce and salt to the point where I could not finish them. There were also only 2 egg rolls but in half for $18. I also ordered the Caesar salad with chicken. The salad had pieces that were slightly brown. It was smothered in dressing - way more than I would have ever put on my salad. The chicken on top was well flavored. The restaurant inside is decent but small. I ordered a drink at the bar while I waited and the bartender was nice. Not sure I would come back - the price of food didn't match the value. read more

We came during a heat wave and during manayunk art fest. They weren't too busy but the place is small and got crowded quickly when it started to rain. Not very attentive service. They were all at the bar on their phones. Had to chase down the girl to get our check. Humongous portions. Largest salad I've seen in my entire life. Im a small girl. I ate what I could and my man couldn't even finish it even though he tried. Salad was not cold it was like warm. Fries are basically chips. And the server didn't even tell us that it was an extra charge for fries. Large charge. Chicken cutlet was good but theres barely any meat to it. read more
