952nd different cheesesteak eaten in the last 4 years. 5th stop on a day of cheesesteaks with Amigo Dan and his New Castle Cronies. We got a regular cheesesteak with fried onions & mushrooms and a cheesesteak wrap. This is going to be short and sweet. The cheesesteak was close to average. The wrap was not. Coaches is a nice, clean, big sports bar with plenty of TV's. Mary is awesome. Great place to hang out if your friends are into Lou Turks and you are not. read more

Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary... oh and Lambie and.. Krissy? After a 4 1/2 drive from CT to our hotel in Essington, we needed food and drinks. First we tried Monaghan's which reeked of cigarettes and had blaring loud music. We walked in and we walked out. Opening our car doors, we saw the sign for Coaches across the street and decided to give it a try. Walking in the door, we paused for a second to decide where to sit and were instantly noticed by a group sitting at the corner, who jokingly invited us in and pointed out some seats at the bar. I felt right at home and knew I was with "my people", as I tend to welcome conversations with strangers and always make friends at new bars. Our bartender was Mary, who asked for our IDs (why, thank you!) and not only repeated but REMEMBERED our names throughout the evening. She introduced us to the other bartenders and was unbelievably friendly. We stayed for a couple of drinks and cut out after an hour or so, but it was definitely a warm and welcoming environment. Everyone seemed to know each other and all got along. The karaoke wasn't TOO loud but was very entertaining. Plus we got to watch the Yankees lose, which always makes me happy. My only wish was that they had a more extensive menu available -- but, in all fairness, it was like 11pm and they only had fried foods, which is what people usually want at 11pm at the bar! I would have been happy with chips and salsa or something. Either way, this was a great night and I would recommend anyone in the area stop by. read more

Great drinks. Do not get the salad. It's worth about $1.50 and you are charged $7.99. Nice to watch sports on TV.

Coaches Bar & Grille - Philly cheesesteak - Sports Bars Near Me - Essington, Pennsylvania

Nice clean establishment, lots of TV's with sports on all of them and sports related items mostly philly sports memorabilia on the walls. Doesn't get overly loud. I've come here for business lunches and just regular lunch visits over the years and I can say the staff is always friendly. Lots of locals or regulars which is good sign. Food wise the menu is predominately sandwiches, wraps and salads. On this past trip I had a Santa Fe which is grilled chicken that was marinated and grilled nicely, bacon, mayo, tomato and jalapeño with melted American cheese on a long Italian roll. It was a good sandwich my only gripe is they make sandwiches Delco style which is meat on top of the toppings which always makes the contents of a sandwich slide and tough to eat. All in all value wise and in general it's a well run place that is always busy. The menu will not blow you away, but everything is well made so you really can't go wrong here. read more

First time here. If you are staying near the airport and want great service and food, this is it. Servers were over the top cool. They ask your name and remember it. You feel like family here. I'll be coming back when I'm in Philly. read more

This place is especially great because the bartenders look out for their customers when shady people approach them. Much appreciated. The food is good. Mostly locals here. Fun spot you can actually feel safe at. read more

The bar tenders were very warm and welcoming, the food was great and the drink selection didn't lack! Certainly worth stopping in

Ate at this Bar and Grille for three straight days. The food is good and reasonable. Recommend ordering anything on a bun. Non-Smoking establishment. The place is really clean, you'll see. Kim was the bar tender and did a great job. Paid $5.25 for a fresh frosted mug pint of craft Yards session Pale Ale. They have a happy hour so things get even cheaper during that timeframe. They get a nice lunch crowd. Locals are very friendly. Plenty of tables and a square talkable bar. Outside patio tables are also available. We had a good time there every day. read more

Came here for a quick bite during a seminar at a nearby hotel. Love how "pro Philadelphia" the place is! There's decor relating to the Eagles (go Birds!), 76ers, Temple Univ.. you get the idea! It's like a mini sports bar. The menu was basic but extensive. And the prices were really decent too. The waitress is really nice and served us right away. We ordered a personal pizza & a combo with half sandwich and soup. We left satisfied and I would definitely come back again if I was in the area. Perfect little place for any time of the day! I'm sure it will be packed during game season! Recommend to anyone!! read more

My office swings by here at least once a month. Not the quickest service, but I have always liked the chicken buffalo sando with fries. The guys always down the soups, which I will be trying next time. Lots of tvs, lots of sports to watch. Friendly service. read more

First time in Essington, stayed overnight to catch a flight we were at Monaghans first then decided to come here. Eh... should have stayed there. Looking for a place to watch Eagles.... Food was ok. Bartenders kicked butt all night but what a crazy combo of people! Clean and had an abundance of tvs. Cool sports bar.... read more

My only experience with Coaches is Monday night thru Wednesday night. That being said, at least those three nights of the week, the place is totally great! Great service from everyone, great food, and good local peeps just enjoying a friendly place to be. No complaints what so ever. I originally rated them "4 stars" but realized I wasn't sure what they'd have to do to get five stars but I'm one of those people that has a problem giving all five. So in that respect I realized there's really nothing wrong with this place. So five stars it is. read more

Very slow service waited 30 minutes for a waitress than all of us went to another restaurant. A lot of my friends have had the same problem. It's sad the food is great there P.S. hope they get their act together Good luck read more

Great affordable prices. No drink on the menu was more then $8 and most of the food was $10 or less. You can't beat that. The spot is decorated and the drink menu is Philadelphia sports theme. Service was pretty fast. I came here randomly but if I was in the area again. I would check them out. read more

Only stopped in for takeout as they were the closest place to still get beer after 11 PM on a Sunday by my hotel(about 10-15 minute walk). Crowd was friendly and the bartender, a female, was nice. A six pack & 2 quarts came to about $22 which is alright. I'm used to pay paying $4.50 or so for an actual 40 at bars here in South Philly. Would return when in the area. read more

Nice small place, nothing fancy, crowd is ok and that's what you should expect in essington. Servers are friendly, food is delicious and not overly priced. Beers were cold, decent selection. I'd go there for lunch only. read more

This place is awesome. We were visiting from out of town. The place is immaculate, food was perfect and Mary makes it all happen. We felt like we had known her forever and part-of their family. read more

Thi place gets one star only because there's no option for 0. The beer was cold, service was bearable, but if you're looking for food go to wawa next door. Was talked into going by the hotel we were staying in, and wished I went to sleep hungry. Went with seven other guys and Nobody was happy with the sandwich they ordered and my pork sandwich had three shavings or dry old pork on it. Should have had a sandwich at wawa and gone there for a beer. read more

Awesome Bar! Bartenders have always been so friendly every time that I visited here. This little gem has a local vibe, a great happy hour and generous pours! (We're not talking H2O - You know what I mean!) Whenever I have an overnight layover in Philly, I will definitely be back! read more

Had some extra time before my flight so I decided to find somewhere to grab a beer. From the minute I walked in Barb, the bartender, was friendly and helpful. She asked my name and called me bye it each time she passed. It really made an impression. Beer was cold and the skins appetizer hit the spot before my flight. I'll definitely be coming back again the next time I'm flying. read more

Tiger establishment is very clean.... nice layout. Good drink menu. The staff was very friendly and welcoming..Barb was our bartender and she knew her stuff.
