Good atmosphere, good food, awesome waitress. We went in this weekend before St. Patrick's Day and we were pretty lucky to get a table in the back for 4. We had wings, fried pickles, cheesesteak rolls , fish and chips and some kind of grilled cheese. They had some Irish music which supposedly happens every Sunday. Our waitress started out as Skylar and then Lisa, both were very cool and helpful. Skylar listened to what I wanted in a drink and made a suggestion and I loved it. Skylar also let us know about events happening upstairs and made it feel very welcoming. read more

Popular Irish pub with a downstairs bar area and an upstairs that hosts various events (quizzo, live band karaoke, etc.). Have been a few times and had okay experiences. It gets a bit hectic in here sometimes during the events so be prepared. Food menu has lots of classic pub grub and was okay when I've had it. The highlight is the draft and can/bottle selection, which features some really great choices. It's quite an extensive list and has some rarer options. Decent spot to grab a few drinks, thanks. read more

Love the look and feel of Fergie's Pub. We had a party in the upstairs room. The waitress was fabulous and attended to all our needs. My children love Shepherds pie and it was delicious. I had the fish and chips, they were crispy and tasty. Thanks Fergie for a great experience. We will be back. read more

Authentic neighborhood Irish Pub. Dropped during a quiet time for a beer. Bartender was friendly and drew me a proper Old Speckled Hen (Nitro). Might pop back in when live music is presented. read more

i don't ever want to leave negative reviews but fergie's just wasn't that great. the decor was cute and it could've been a cozy, fun pub experience but the service wasn't good and the food wasn't the best either. i was here with some friends for quizzo (which was fun) but it was way too crowded and hot and the food didn't even make up for it. read more

I am very pleased to report that Fergie's, based on my first visit in many years, remains the same old reliable Irish pub institution that it's always been. Yes, they have no TV. Hurrah! The fish & chips, for example - probably the most perfect serving size that I've ever seen, not something that every place gets right. They're generous, as they should be, with the tartar sauce, and the malt vinegar as well. They seem to have expanded their wine list, and they have a good selection of beers on tap (including cask beer and nitro, and plenty of cans as well), but do you really need anything other than a pint of Guinness? read more

Love the atmosphere here! Feels like a traditional Irish pub. Live band music on a Sunday night (come in before 7:30pm, it can get busy). Service is great! Attentive and friendly. Would give it 5 stars if the food was a little better. Wings are okay. Pub fries aren't exciting but the beer cheese on the side is fun. Biggest gripe is the bangers and mash. The sausages were like a Vienna sausage version. Very, very soft meat. The gravy is watery. Wish I ordered something else. Other than the soft bangers, love this pub! read more

The food here was good. The french onion soup is exactly what I needed on this particular rainy day. The fish and chips was a shared plate and it went well with my soup. The fergie fries also hit the spot. I forget which drinks we got but the left was a lager and the right was an IPA. enjoyed both of these. Waiter was also kind and patient with us. I initially ordered a sandwich but grabbed him last minute to swap for the onion soup. The inside creates a cozy vibe with dark interior and candles. read more

We were only there for the live band karaoke.so this has nothing to do with anything else regarding Fergie's. The band was great. The girl running the show was a disasterous shit show. Someone who just walked in could sing before someone there for an hour because she kept no order to the singers. Then there was more than a song's length of time between songs. Why? Because she spent her time between songs not organizing, but actually singing over the singers! And she sucks, not that that should matter. On top of that, she was constantly using the f-word. I'm sure she thinks it's the coolest thing, but it's not. It's annoying especially with the lack of organization which is on her. read more

Awesome place, good music ,cheap drinks and kind people. Take a look at the relationship book.

Worst bar in the city! The server was rude and the crew stole my wallet! They took it and lied and took money out my wallet!!! while people nearby told me they got it and only got it back when I decided to get angry! After I got back to the room.. They added their own tip!! And upcharged me. I later went back to confront the acting manager and was told the money was took because I TOUCHED !! the server!. I am family man and have soo much!! respect for everyone but they are low life's. read more

This place was an amazing find. The fish & chips here was amazing. Served with a super delicious home made tarter sauce and malt vinegar. The best I've had in the USA and that's coming from a Brit. The staff are accommodating and the service is great. Was lucky to catch a traditional Irish session as well. Well done Fergie's Pub! read more

I was just over their to do poetry and stand up comedy but the bartender was being very rude to me. I asked a guy if he worked here, and he said no and pointed at the bartender coming from the kitchen so I approached her and lightly tapped her on the arm and asked what time is the comedy club then she said, "don't funking touch people" so I ignored it and the guy whom I asked what time the open mic is tonight replied "9:30" then I said thank you to him and walked away. So I sat back down in my seat with great patience and the host ask if anybody else have a poetry so I raised my hand and said "I have one" so he called me up, but it just so happen that the person whom I first ask a question was already next so I seen him go up and politely waited my turn. He gave me a hand gesture stating that I should sit up front and wait for the next call so I did. But as I was walking up to the front to change seats the same bartender who was being rude said, "get the fuck out of here" , but I ignored her and continued to move up front and said "I have a lot of poetry". Not to her, but to myself as I was looking at the stage. That's when she called the security to kick me out and suggested that I should talk to the owner tomorrow when you are here so I kindly followed orders and left the bar. I understand she may have felt affended when I said "say what u wanna nigg...." but I realized the word was offensive so I lowered my voice ad I noticed the N word was coming out. And I only said that cuz the person who was up next on stage was frightened on was he wanted to speak on "old white man" ...and somebody shouted "just go ahead and say it" that's when I came in and said "yeah, say what u wanna say nigg.. , we want to hear it" .....but that was the only bad comment I made the whole 15-20 minutes I was there. I already told many people that I will be there every wensday at 9pm so this is why I am telling you now because I thought this bar was really going to be my spot to start my open mic. And I'm really upset that I couldn't do it tonight so a kindly followed orders to avoid any other type conflict. read more

Service is absolutely horrible. Ordered beers with a couple of my friends only to be met with a very surly server. A few of my friends were only drinking water, so maybe she was just mad that she wasn't making money off the table. Either way, it felt unwelcoming and cold. The real problem is the upstairs. Never caught her named but the "robust" woman that works Wednesday night looks like she needed her cigarette a little too much. Comedy starts at 9, I went up there at 9:10 to see if it was ready and was told angrily, "the bar is not ready yet, leave." So I apologized for the intrusion and went back down. Hey, I understand that a bar space might need some time for turn around. I go back to finish my beer with my friends when the rotund bartender stomps over to and demands I walk with her. We walk outside and she says I am not welcome in the bar.... For asking if the section was open when it was meant to be open? Even the bouncer apologized for her rude and inhospitable behavior but had to tow the company line and refuse my reentry. If Fergie's was smart, they would rid themselves of this employee with high blood pressure and a short fuse. It's clear she can't contain her stress on the job and sets an unhealthy atmosphere of power tripping I can only assume infects the rest of the team. I loved this bar before last night, but wow Fergies, fire her. read more

Came here on the recommendation of a coworker. My other coworker and friend decided to check it out for lunch today. Glad we came! All of the charms of an authentic Irish bar met us as we entered the facility. A few people were at the bar drinking when we entered just after opening at 12pm. No one else was seated for lunch so we got to pick a nice area away from things. Our friendly server came quickly with ice water and we scanned the code for the menu with our phones. We went with some fried pickles to start, a roast beef sandwich for me and a burger "well done, not burnt" for my friend. The fried pickles were divine with some ranch dip. Super thin, not too much batter, and great dill flavor. Even my picky eater friend ate a bunch of those. My roast beef sandwich also was excellent. Nice roll with cheese, an extra-long long hot on top, with some crunchy tater tots. Came with two different dips along with some au jus. My friend's burger was just how she liked it with some crispy fries. Nothing tasted greasy or oily. We had some beer cheese dip with the potatoes and you definitely tasted the beer in there. Everything overall was so good and very filling. I knew I was going to be drinking tonight so I didn't for this lunch although I would have loved a Guinness. The place was clean! They have an upstairs in the evenings and sometimes live music. Overall, nice place and we'll be back. I bet it gets crowded. Server kept the water coming and the food came out quickly. So good. $40 not including tip for the two entrees, shared appetizer, and beer cheese. What a great lunch! read more

the bartender was so rude. Four of my family members came into the bar ordered drinks at the bar and the bartender asked me "what do I want" with a nasty attitude and was just overall rude the entire time. I understand that customer service can be hard at times, but if you don't like your job, then don't work there. It's really not that hard. read more

It's all about expectations! Popped in around 7 pm on a Saturday evening as a meetup spot before heading to another restaurant. I sat at a 4-top high table with the bar seats fairly full. The windows were open, and have chain link fence over them! Upstairs was a rollicking Irish Session with tunes, joyful and loud, filling the pub. My perfect Guinness (really, they do it right) was perfect accompaniment to fiddles, flutes, and penny-whistles. No tv's, tunes and pints. Can't go wrong. My expectations for an Irish Pub were clearly met. read more

Fergie's Pub is exactly what you need it to be. We went on Sunday afternoon craving some bar food and were not disappointed - we ordered a burger, wrap, tater tots, fried pickles, and cheesesteak egg rolls, and everything was fantastic.

Philadelphia is a city of friends that are pressed together in row homes and forced to be nice and neighborly. One of the best part is the great bars of your Philadelphia. When you come into a wonderful pub like this there's not a lot of room, but there is a lot of atmosphere. Good drinks, wonderful people and excellent service. Come on down and have a beer. Enjoy open mic poetry and open mic comedy. Come on down and meet me along with all of the wonderful new friends that await you hear. read more

Came here for a quick client meeting, per their recommendation. I loved the vibe. It was a dark little pub with an upstairs (blocked off so wasn't sure what it looked like down there) and then a few tables and a large bar downstairs. Our server was super nice and gave me some recommendation on what to drink. I got a blueberry cider that was delicious! We were a group of 5 and had 2 drinks each and the bill was about $50! Not too bad! I'd definitely check out this place again. read more

Do not go there. If you are a woman and not told that the upstairs has a cover you will get grabbed by the men who have no identification of being with the bar and you will not be able to defend yourself as the workers do not provide any information to their patrons of the managers or the offical employees on the payroll. I will be pressing charges immediately as the physical contact was unnecessary and the fact that one man followed us out to scream in our faces when we were leaving without hesitation. read more

I never write reviews but felt like I had to today because this place so greatly disappointed me last night. I went on a Friday night because I wanted to go to the live band karaoke. It didn't start until 9pm, but I got there at 7pm just to get some food, have a few drinks, and chill for a little bit downstairs before going upstairs where the karaoke was happening. I was one of the first people upstairs for live band karaoke in a room that gets packed. I wanted to sing, so I signed up on a piece of paper and put it in the pile with the rest of the requests. After about an hour and a half around 10:30, I still hadn't heard my name get called which was weird because I was one of the first people to sign up. I went up to the karaoke host stand and asked to see if the paper with my request was still in the queue because something seemed off. It wasn't there. I don't know what happened, but it wasn't there. Whatever. I don't know what happened, but it wasn't a big deal. I told the host, Aly, my paper wasn't there anymore and that I needed to sign up again, so I did. I even tipped the band to move up my spot in the queue because Aly was letting people who tipped the band sing before people who hadn't. There were only 8 people in front of me, too, so even if she didn't move me up in the queue, I figured I'd go on in about 30 minutes. After the second set from the band, I still hadn't been called. In between the second and final set, Aly asked the people who were still there and had filled out a song request slip to come see her and make sure you put your paper slip on her computer so she would call on you. I did that. Live band karaoke ended at 1am. After being in the bar since 7pm and at karaoke since it started at 9pm, my name never got called. To recap, I filled out 2 song requests because it seemed like something happened to the 1st one, I tipped the band, I didn't bother anyone, and I never got called. Shame on Aly and the folks at Fergie's. I can't believe I was there for 6 hours and was just blatantly ignored. I honestly think it was intentional that they didn't let me sing. I've never said this before, but it could have been discrimination. I left there furious. If you want to sing karaoke, save your money and go somewhere else. Don't go to Fergie's. Don't let Aly the karaoke host ruin your night. I will never go back and spend another cent at this place that decided to ignore me and not let me sing. read more

I rarely write bad reviews but I need to do so here. My review solely focuses on the food. I had no issue with the ambience or the service. I recently purchased the seitan chicken wings and Fish and Chips. After the experience I question whether this pub has a deep fryer. The fish was not at all crispy and appear microwaved. Likewise the fries were soggy. I've had seitan wings at many establishments in Philly and these were easily the worst I had. They appeared to be square rehydrated nuggets that were not remotely crispy and were covered with buffalo sauce. Bottom line is this might be a fun place to get a beer but the effort they put into the food is shameful. read more

Classic Irish pub food. Come for trivia on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 8pm. It gets busy, so come early for a table upstairs. Tater tot grilled cheese. Enough said. So good, reasonably priced. Drinks are also priced well and good selection. Only one bathroom upstairs, so it gets busy. read more

Love Fergie's! Great little Irish pub with very friendly, efficient bar service and lots of dark wood and low lighting for that cozy pub feel. I try to get here a few times a year for a pint of Guinness when out walking the city. It's getting harder to find Guinness on tap, where Murphy's Stout has taken over some of the local pubs. Live Irish music on the weekends with the chance to meet Fergie's himself. read more

This is a fun place for pub food and free music on Friday night. Joined friends for burgers, wings, roast beef sandwiches while listening to the wonderful John Train and his band perform two sets every Friday 6-8. The downstairs is a bar and restaurant as is the upstairs where the music happens. The wait staff is excellent. Someone had dropped cash on the floor and the waitress went around to all the customers and asked if it was theirs! Amazingly no one claimed it! Restores my faith in humanity. The food was quite good, big portions. I highly recommend going there, especially on Friday evening. read more
