    A great Neighborhood Place with good musicians that come play Duos trios and full bands. Local folks who love to get together and have a good time.

    Wheee, on a beer bar hop in Olde Town Philly, we stopped into Brownies Pub and we lucky enough to trade spots at the bar with a couple that was leaving. The place was packed and full of energy. On a Presidental beer kick, I decided to order the George Washington Ale by the local Yards Brewing Company produced from the first President's official beer recipe. Mmmm, taste of history. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/zspnOaAN4jpseR3X7YtX5Q?select=h3UGofDy4olMJVVGwU9_-Q He ordered the Penn's Pale Ale, from Pennsylvania Brewing Co. Another great local beer and pretty light and refreshing. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/zspnOaAN4jpseR3X7YtX5Q?select=xMNi6i0OqCoy2WktUfz_rg Then to finish us off for the night, we split a Yakima Glory from Victory Brewing Company. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/zspnOaAN4jpseR3X7YtX5Q?select=KGVgWtMlxCW8UuxY7zFvmw Very smooth and packs a pretty strong taste. The only downside was that my hair ended up smelling like an ashtray after being inside this smoke friendly bar for only a couple beers. Otherwise we had a great night out, thanks to the good beer and good times at Brownies.

    This place has a great happy hour, 4-6 half price draft beer. Mine was a mere $2.25. Beware tho, it is a smoking allowed establishment.

    This is a fantastic place for happy hour. Half price drinks!! It's cash only, so bring some ones. It is a smoking establishment, so don't be surprised. I got a great draft beer for a mere two bucks! That's hard to find these days. And the bartender was nice and attentive. I highly recommend you stopping here 4-6 on weekdays!

    It's an old dive bar with a nice vibe. The people are very friendly and chatty. The bartender was very helpful in breaking the ice for you.

    Nice spot for a quiet beer and a smoke. Regulars are cool. Bartenders are good. There's a pool table upstairs. Cash only.

Huge bar, giant wall of liquor bottles, dim lighting, and a cool old-school vibe. I told the bartender that ordering a beer in a place like this felt like I was insulting him. He laughed and told me not to worry about it. The drink special was called "Naked and Famous," which honestly sounded like the perfect cocktail to order in honor of Jen. But then I spotted a dark beer on the menu that sounded too good to pass up. If you follow me, you know I'm slowly becoming a dark beer guy. I liked it a lot. The sandwich special was a cheesesteak. Sorry, I should've taken a picture of the menu. But I really enjoyed it, and for $18 it came with a mountain of seasoned fries, which feels like a bargain these days. Bomb Shell: the two people working absolutely crushed it. I don't know if they were understaffed or if Monday night got busier than expected, but they were working their tails off the entire time. Even with that, they stayed polite, friendly, helpful, and incredibly accommodating to the guy carrying around a mannequin. Great visit to Sassafras!

We both ordered a special cocktail - pornstar martini - and wowwwww it was so good. We didn't have time to stay for more unfortunately but I can't wait to go back. Great ambiance and our bartender was awesome.

And also a lot of options for flights and stuff like that. My boyfriend and I were pretty hungry by the time we came in so we ordered the burgers since our server said they were known for them. We were so disappointed when they came out - they were literally the blandest burgers I have ever tasted in my life. The ambiance of the restaurant is really nice though. They have outdoor seating for when the weather is nice and a LOT of seating inside. It's almost set up like a giant cafeteria so there is a lot of space for big parties. Overall, I'd come here to get a couple drinks with my friends and maybe an appetizer or two. But don't expect the food to be anything great.

Thank you to the really nice bartender in the orange hat (also a millennial) who grasps the concept of 'it's so loud in here' like it's not a nightclub. anyway the prices of the drinks were great.
