    absolutely no dancing, not even in your chair
    Emmett M.

    Fun times, most definitely. Post Opa elite and many a fool wanted to shake their booty up the street at Time; luckily, the biggest fool of the night got distracted by a shiny piece of tinfoil blowing down the sidewalk and, when she saw two strangers inside Bar, immediately went in to say hello. Score for sweaty Emmett, because dancing here is strictly prohibited and the AC was working quite well. Fast forward to ten minutes later and the strangers have been scared away (the only two customers in Bar's bar until we arrived that very late Monday night), so naturally I felt it was our duty to pick up where they left off. A bounty of canned beer in the fridgamidors (many of which I not only never heard of, but couldn't pronounce either), robust pints of the hard stuff for a fin, and Kill Bill Vol. 2 on the boob tube meant this guy was happy, but the crew of yelp all-stars were what really kept me from being annoyed at the flitting about of my re-re sister. Bar seems a very cool and spacious spot, even though I didn't see the upstairs (gravity isn't worth defying after so much booze); there is just something about barrooms bedecked in wood that always makes me feel very comfortable wasting away the hours. Another bonus worth mentioning was that the bathrooms were fairly clean. All antics having run their course, as well as Uma breaking one last heart, and the establishment was ready to close, so the night of fun came to an end. I don't think this is the last time I will be caught in Bar (not a bar, goof, The Bar. Seriously, think about who you're dealing with), because it felt right up my alley, but I'll need to see how I handle a more crowded night before I make final judgments.

    Had an awesome time here at "Bar".  The bartender, Alexis is terrific.

    Had an awesome time here. Was traveling with a group of friends for the Seahawks vs Eagles game- and the vibe was amazing. It was right across from the Holiday Inn Hotel, so very easy location to spot and there were plenty of food option around there area for the after hr. The Bartender (Alexis) is gorgeous and marvelous. Great portions on drinks and knew when to cut off those who can't handle their liquor anymore. Very professional.

    Glory Beer Bar & Kitchen is a must if you're in the Independence Park area of Philly! My wife and I…read morevisited while we were there and loved it! They aren't lying when they say that they have an extensive beer menu! I had a Dancing Gnome Kolsch which was very good and then a Corsendork Christmas Ale which was fantastic! I normally don't like spiced beer, but this one was perfect! My wife and I shared the cheese and salumi plate which was so delicious! My only re is not getting the large! My wife had the crispy chicken sandwich which was really good. The crust was crunchy and the chicken was tender and juicy. I had the porchetta sandwich which was recommended by our waiter and was SO DELICIOUS! It is a must! At first my wife was concerned about the limited menu. They may not have an extensive menu but what they do, they do right! Our waiter was really great and very welcoming, especially as we were from out of town. The place has a rustic vibe which fits with its old town location. We loved it! If we ever find ourselves back in Philly, we will definitely visit Glory again!

    Pretty good overall!…read more Considerably big space for Philly. They had an upstairs too but I am not sure why it wasn't open during majority of the night. When the big crowd from the conference left they opened the upstairs. The Mac and cheese is SO GOOD. Very creamy and rich, the bread crumbs were an amazing surprise edition. This fatty finished it before the beer came. Lots of beer choices. I took off a start be size they were under staffed. So we were just waiting around for the check and the waitress kept forgetting what we asked for. Honestly, not her fault. There were like ~100 people and only 3 employees that I saw. So no designated waiter for tables. These poor 3 employees were the bartenders and the table waiters.

Worth stopping by if you're in the West Village! Food: 4 Drinks: 5 Service: 4 Value: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Food: Surprisingly good. We shared the chicken quesadilla. It was filled to the filled to the brim and delicious. They cooked it perfectly with the edges getting extra crispy like a tortilla chip. I didn't have high expectations for a place thats primarily a bar, but this blew me away all things considered. Drinks: Best taproom in the city. 20+ premium options. They have an awesome selection of beers, including some local options. They have wine and liquor too, but you should focus on the beer. This is the place to go for a good draught. Service: Servers are friendly and down to earth. They're great at suggesting different beers. Value: Not cheap, but not bad. Beers are $8-10 (pretty much market price in the West Village) and food is a decent bargain given how much food you get. Atmosphere: Its a cross between an old school pub and a sports bar. Its dark and 90% male (my wife always comments on how male heavy it is) but I think it has a good vibe. Good beer, good food options, and friendly servers.

The crowd is pretty young, but as a mid-40s, I don't feel out of place. The bartenders are knowledgable and always helpful in making decisions. Why they didn't get 5-stars: This is actually a 4.5-star place and only gets dinged 1/2 star is that is can be hard to get a table or a spot to be. It's a very small venue, so be prepared to stand around a bit. That's it, great beers, good vibes, still a great spot!!!
