    Rye Manhattan
    Kelli K.

    Stopped in for a night cap and left with an amazing bottle of natural wine! The Manhattan I had was tasty, and I loved the crackers and accompaniments that came with the cheese plate. The cheese itself was great as well. The service was quick and friendly. As other reviewers have noted, it's very cute and cozy inside They have a large selection of wines for such a small spot! Prices ranged from $20-$40 or so. I really appreciated the variety of high quality choices from around the globe. I ended up picking up a bottle of orange wine, which isn't as common to find, and it did not disappoint. I would stop by again anytime!

    Avinyó Blanc

    A few friends and I decided after dinner we wanted to stop into Fishtown Social to check it out because we hadn't stopped in before. As we walked in we were greeted by the bartender and sat at the bar. After looking at the menu we presently surprised with the wine/cocktails/drafts list as they had a relatively niche list that allowed for options as well. I was stuck between the Echeverria and Avinyó Blanc, which I was given a taste test for both. The bartender explained that the Avinyó Blanc was their favorite and after the testing, I couldn't agree more. You could taste the hints of pear & citrus peel pairing together for a refreshing flavor, while still having bubbles needed for the sparkling vibe. I will definitely be coming back for happy hour in the near future! I would also recommend this as a date spot as there isn't an overwhelming amount of people at the bar. I also think their lighting was perfect where it's not too dark, but you can also see the person(s) next to you! Price points for wines/cocktails were between $12-$16. They offered snacks for when the kitchen is open running from $9-$11, and lastly they did have charcuterie boards listed at $15 per board!

    I had a great experience placing a wine delivery with Fishtown Social a few weeks ago. The full list of offerings is available on their website, with some notes about each bottle. I ordered two whites (including a dry riesling from local winery Wayvine - I love this wine!) and a bottle of bubbles. Deliveries take place on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I placed my order through email on a Thursday night, received confirmation and paid on Friday morning, and received the delivery that afternoon. There's really something for everyone on Fishtown Social's wine list, so give them a look next time you're stocking up on wine.

    Great cozy spot to grab drinks! Enjoyed the experience and thought the atmosphere was nice and low-key

    Great low-key, cozy spot to grab wine if you're in Fishtown! The bartender was friendly and engaging and the wine was excellent. Overall, had an enjoyable experience and would return if I'm in the area.

    Rated as one of the best wine stores in PA. The staff is always so friendly and makes amazing recommendations. I love their wine and the variety. They also have incredible truffle almonds if you make it while the kitchen is open. Another recommendation is their wine on tap.

    Such great owners! This is a perfect happy hour spot on Frankford especially when the weather is permitting for the outdoor season. I believe this is the only spot in the area offering big-a-shuck 7 days a week along with drink specials. The Saturday & Sunday 3-5pm happy hour deal is a great addition. Great lite bites offered too cheese boards etc. They have a bottle shop attached at the back where you can purchase bottles to go.

    Beaujolais!

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!

I got there on Wednesday around 6 and there were only a couple of customers at the bar. I almost left because I didn't see any employees. Finally someone came out to greet me and seated me in the middle are. He had to put some paper at the bottom of the table because it was a bit wobbly. A lot of choices in the menu. I ordered guacamole and chips for appetizers and it came out right away. The chips are fresh and not stale. Good amount of guacamole. Street corn aka elote. The corn is juicy. Unfortunately, it was not enrobed with mayo and cotija cheese as a typical elote should be. Fried plantain: not many slices. They are dry and not sweet . I was hoping for more ripe plantain Birria tacos: small tacos, the consommé lacks of depth of flavor. I could only taste saltines. The waiter asked if I wanted rice and beans. I said only beans. It's basically mashed refried beans. I wasn't aware that it costs extra $4. My husband ordered this dish served in half pineapple. It has chorizo and shrimp. Again , lacking depth of flavor, very salty. Service was great. The staff is friendly. Credit card is accepted but with a fee. There's an ATM if you prefer to pay with cash.

It was only $50 so well worth it. The michelada was really good so we would recommend that too. For starters, we had the ceviche and it was amazing and also the street corn (it's so good, you should order two!). Everything on the menu that we had was delicious; however, the carne asada taco portion was a little small so make sure you order a side of rice and beans. For dessert, the churros were to die for: they came with ice cream too! We don't order dessert too often but I was so glad we did! The space is HUGE and there was no problem getting sat right away on a Saturday night. They do turn it into a dance club at night so we'll have to go back. Servers are nice and attentive and we will definitely be back!

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, since they are located right about Ogawa (also amazing)! We tried the omakase cocktail, which was really fun and creative. Although if I'm paying $25 for a drink, I do expect a bit more of a presentation... The scallop crispy rice was absolutely a favorite, we had to order two! The toro was also a standout, although how can you go wrong with toro, uni, and caviar? The wagyu dog itself was great, but the roll it was on was dry. In my opinion, the bread makes or breaks a sandwich, so points off for that one. The ambiance was cozy, if a little dark at times. Our waitress was knowledgeable and attentive and gave us good recommendations on what to order. I will absolutely be back for the crispy rice alone!

Service was great, we got recommendations, all questions answered with lots of knowledge about the menu, plus some birthday celebration shots. The regular menu drinks were next level, I loved the punch drink which is near the end of the menu and easy to miss. I did get an omakase drink but thought it was just ok, it was like a cucumber gimlet but I was expecting some more complex for the price ($25 I believe). I also thought it would be great if they asked about your taste, favorite cocktail, etc to truly customize the drink. Instead they don't ask about your preference, just if you want shaken vs stirred and to pick a season. So I'd recommend sticking to the actual menu . Other than that the food menu was fun. I enjoyed the wagyu hotdog, and all the appetizers I tried were delicious.

The main dining room is pretty narrow without much in the way of decor, and I think more could be done to help the space pop, but as always the food is my main concern in the end. The complimentary crunchy corn snack for the table was a nice surprise! We ordered an app, a ceviche, and four entrees to share between the six of us and found that plenty filling. The Yuca Frita app was tasty with a delicious dip we held on to, but I wish it came with more as six pieces felt small for the price. The Ceviche Mixto was a more solid portion with a great variety of seafood; it was on the tart side but came with a really nice cilantro sauce that the table ate clean. Out of our entrees, the Lomo Saltado was the highlight with well-cooked and tender chunks of steak and yummy fries (simple, I know). The Pescado a Lo Macho and Arroz con Mariscos were very generous portions with a ton of various seafood; even the fried fish dish came with shrimp, mussels, and scallops on top. The Aji de Gallina was maybe the least noteworthy entree, a chicken stew with cassava and rice, but even that was hearty and filling. Service was good throughout with plenty of water refills, and the cost was surprisingly reasonable for what we ordered. I'd definitely recommend this place for seafood lovers, and I'd be interested in coming back to try the roast chicken and to have the lomo saltado and ceviche again!
