We tried to get in and were locked out.

If you say online you're open til 10 pm then be open til 10 pm. We walked half a mile to get there so we could enjoy the awesome ambiance and great cocktails we have experienced before. We knew we would be arriving late (9:15 pm) but definitely time to order a great cocktail and enjoy the scene. NOPE!! I really don't appreciate getting bad information.

Friendly greeting as you enter. They go all out with seasonal decor here and it's best to have a reservation. The menu and drinks fit the season so it's Halloween-themed now. Everything we had was tasty. I loved my Harvest Salad and sweet potato fries. Some of the drinks are over-the-top and super sweet. But it's a fun experience. Our waiter was fun to chat with though she forgot to bring a water, extra dressing and did put in the wrong entree. But she comped a drink to make it up to us.

So glad to have visited Craftsman Row Saloon again for another Christmas season! It was extremely difficult finding a reservation for the 2025 season but we managed to get one at 11 pm on Dec 12th and it was lovely! I still highly recommend this place to anyone I know who's looking for a Christmas wonderland based on the decor alone however their food continues to surprise me! Even when we decide to go a little more adventurous like with the mac and cheese calzone pizza combo, which sounded weird but was actually so good. Their milkshakes of course are also always worth it so I highly recommend!

Personally I would not go without a reservation as it is quite busy (especially around the holidays) and bar seating is scarce. They decorate the place beautifully with a little train running the tracks and ornaments and garland everywhere. The drink I ordered was fine. It's very crowded at the bar and quite lively. I would imagine having a table instead would be nicer. I think it's a great place to visit maybe for a little holiday fun once

Decorations are beautiful and that's the main draw to this place for the holidays. Otherwise the food is average and the drinks are insanely overpriced, although fun and creative. The automatic gratuity for all party sizes is a bit of a turn off as well.

The decorations for Halloween? Oh yeah they did that! Craftsman Row decked their entire restaurant out with some excellent Halloween decor. It starts as soon as you walk in the door. The atmosphere is great inside, though a bit small. Our waitress was great and even the other staff who dropped off food were all sweet. I enjoyed the names of the drinks, and the drinks were great. The food lacked some flavor, but it was still edible. Overall, I'm looking forward to returning for their Christmas decorations. RESERVATIONS are highly recommended btw!

Welcome!

So fun and festive for the holidays! Make a reservation. This is a place to go to for the experience. The food was fine. Drinks are the attraction-pricey but cute! Service was good-tip is included in the bill. Would go back again pre holidays for sure!

Wreath App
Mya ..

Enjoyed the decor interior and exterior.... however I think that's all to boost about. We really wanted to enjoy our visit, but a few things missed the mark. Seated 20 mins after our scheduled reservation. Sodas flat and dull. Christmas wreath inspired app - underwhelming in flavor and size. We only stayed for 1 app and left to Reading Terminal Market. I would assume this place is only popular for the Christmas decor and cocktails, but not the food. Typical bar food and service.

Philly Cheesesteak Burger
Peter H.

This was a fun and unexpected surprise to stumble across for lunch while exploring the city on a Sunday afternoon. I came at a strange time, probaby around 3pm so it wasn't crowded and the shift seemed to be preparing for the evening. Service was all friendly and attentive throughout my visit while I was seated at the bar. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak burger, because why not! It was delicious and a hearty meal. Fried were good, hot and crispy. I enjoyed a nice draft beer and overall a pleasant dining experience. I would come back on a future visit!

Graveyard Milkshake, absolutely delicious !! $18
Kathleen M.

We went around Halloween, needless to say it was an experience !!! Bottom line is...you go for the experience & enjoy the atmosphere. Service was a little slow, but they were busy, food was absolutely terrible. So go for their themed over priced yummy drinks or shakes, not dinner !! Worth going at least once, an get dressed up an enjoy yourself

Mozzarella Sticks
Mike C.

I went into the city this past Saturday to meet up with my friend who lives in Philadelphia. I informed him I would like to start at a bar I have never been to and this is how we arrived at the Craftsman Row Saloon. We ordered a shot and a beer and here's where things get interesting. There was not too much left in the bottle of Powers Irish Whisky or so we thought. Bartender poured the rest of the bottle out in two cups served neat however, one of the glasses had a dead freaking insect in it, looked like a gnat. After telling my friend my shot has a gnat in it, he said, no problem and took it from me and chugged away lol. Got to love the drinking enthusiasm but I have to dock them a minimum of one star for that. We ordered an appetizer of Mozzarella sticks that were encrusted with Doritos crust. These came out piping hot and I loved them. Five to an order for $14 bucks, not cheap, but meh you're in the city what do you expect. The other thing that really took me a back was they auto tip on your bill for 20%. This is a party of two people, and I felt it almost disrespectful to add that on all of their checks, however I do understand the restaurant does that to protect themselves. Interestingly enough, we weren't told about this auto charge and did not see it on the menu. Other qualm is what I am hearing from other reviewers is they have a ninety-minute time limit for their tables. Although I enjoyed my time here, I don't see myself running back as there is a plethora of bars in the city. As always people SYOY!!!

I never got a chance to let everyone know during the holiday season how great and fun this place is!! I absolutely loved how festive everything was from the decor to the Christmas themed drinks and food! The candy cane shots were especially fun. I highly highly recommend coming here with friends or family to celebrate the season. And apparently they switch gears for Halloween as well, so I will fully be attending in the fall.

Love that more Philly establishments have taken a page from Tinsel and upped the holiday decor. Amazing experience from the food, service, ambiance to the vibes! Shout out to Whitt who did his thing with every cocktail we tried 10/10

I learned later that this restaurant has been around since the early to mid 1900's. Plenty of parking in a large open lot. The place is very large and has one of the longest bars I've seen. The wood is very dark and you can see the chefs cooking over the hearth. They don't take reservations and won't see you until your entire party is there. One of the things I liked for our party of 10 was they had no problems with seating as they also have many large round tables. For mixed drinks, they make them pretty big and potent. For my martini, they sent back an extra glass. They also had great bleu cheese stuffed olives. We ordered onion rings (8 large to an order) and fried zucchini. The onion ring I had was pretty good. I didn't have the fried zucchini but heard it was also pretty good. Other than the light fare items, all dinners come with their salad bar which has both iceberg lettuce and Caesar Salad along with many fixings as well as cheeses and bread. I had the Baked Seafood Platter which came with scallops, shrimp, Clam Casino (without the shell), Maryland crab cake and a small lobster tail for $49.99. My wife had the baked chicken breast which she said was quite dry. The dining area is quite large and reminds me of the restaurants at a casino. Some in our group said it reminds them of Medieval Times due to the dark wood vibe. While I thought it was a bit pricey, I would still come back and try their signature steaks or prime rib.

I'm not sure how accountable this review will be, as I did take out not stayed. They were having happy hour but it didn't count for me as I was take out I guess. I got the mozzarella sticks were bomb with the sauce and I got the creamy Mac and cheese. I was excited for the Mac and cheese because I had one last night that was amazing from somewhere else. I got back to my hotel my second but I found a hair. Like a fatty I threw it to the side and kept eating it anyways. Unlike a true fatty, I didn't finish it. So unholy for a Mac and cheese lover like myself... but it was too acidic for me. I couldn't keep eating it. So I'm basing this review solely on the food. The service seemed ok? They seemed nice, but can't judge that as I did take out.

We came here around 11am before a matinee and didn't realize we wouldn't be able to get a table…read more We were very lucky to get bar seats that were around the corner of the bar. This way it was easy for our group to talk. I saw someone else drinking a drink that looked really good so I just ordered that without looking at the menu. It was in a champagne glass and had an orange peel in it. This drink was delish and I would order it again. I ordered the caesar w salmon. The salad itself was fine but the dressing didn't taste at all like caesar dressing. I still ate the whole thing - but just didn't love the dressing. The bartender was running around like crazy and I felt bad for her that she had to work so hard.

Reviewers rated Moriarty's short ribs highly, and though I hesitated to order risotto take out, I want for it. Sorry, no pics but trust ne when I say it was delish! The portions were great (there were a few spears of asparagus) and the lukewarm risotto (expected considering it was delivered) was creamy and flavorful. There was a but more oil than I would have liked floating at the bottom, and the sauce was a bit salty, but not so much that I couldn't enjoy the super tender morsels of beef. I look forward to trying something else on the menu soon.
