We stopped in tonight for Wing it Wednesday...they had the nerve to cut the portion to SIX wings. That is a ridiculous reduction. Poor business sense. Will not return. There are too many other places in this town that serve good wings. read more

Love this place, love supporting a family owned business, orange crushes always made with fresh squeezed OJ and the garlic parm sauce is my favorite of all of Conshy, never had a bad meal, salad or app. Way better than GAP next door. HOWEVER, this past Sunday was the first time I've seen how strict the seating is. I know restaurants are short and I get it (so is mine) but I watched a booth next to my friends booth be open for an HOUR, with two four tops with a single person at it, and I couldn't even sit in the booth behind my bf on his birthday because we were 4 and not "5". It was so disappointing. We ordered enough food for 6. The entire upstairs with the large tables were empty and we couldn't sit there either bc the "whole party wasn't present". I just can't get past the strictness and I basically pleaded and still was told no even though someone was on their way to make 5. It really ruined my day. I would appreciate lessening up on this rule of this so people can enjoy meeting their friends especially when there are ample tables open. (I wouldn't mind the wait if the server was busy in that section.) also, the booth the boys sat at for 6 barely held them. We could've used that one I asked for to spread and eat comfortably. Again I love boathouse but I was super bummed. read more

The only reason to go to the Boathouse is if you have not been there in a while and want to see if it is any better than the last time you went. Hope to see someone redo the interior and maybe join both halves of the place into a larger and less segregated place. Pros: popular spot (against all odds) good location Take out beer shop in basement Cons: Terrible bartenders Slow service Weird restaurant/bar dichotomy No real culture Too many TVs Upstairs that is not taken advantage of read more

Ordered take out wings after the game--they were salty and not saucy. Just not what we were looking for. The blue cheese was also more of a watery consistency and lacked in blue cheese chunks. Carrot sticks instead of celery--maybe a personal preference but when I have wings I want a nice crunchy celery stick not a carrot. Would maybe go back to try their bar atmosphere and beers but skipping the wings next time and will drive the 15 minutes to Manayunk for better wings. read more

The boathouse is a Conshy institution but unfortunately it's taken a bit of a hit over the last few years. It can be a very fun place to watch an Eagles game depending on where you sit, but it can also be a terrible place if you're in one of the sound dead zones where you can't actually hear the game because there's no speakers. The food is good for the most part, however their prices for wings are comically high; 22 bucks for a dozen wings. I understand there's a wing shortage driving up prices but Fingers Wings and Things up the street is still able to sell them for half that price. Overall a good spot but definitely some improvement can be made. read more

Nice sports bar with lots of testosterone and beer. 6 channels of Philly sports and good burgers. You can't go wrong with the crab-stuffed shrimp and a pint. Lots of amateur teams hang and do the wing challenge. Enjoy your favorite sport show and hang with your bros! read more

I've been coming to the Boathouse for years and just realized I never left them a review. They have something for everyone. Their beer list is unmatched, even in a town with plenty of good bars selling craft beers, Boathouse gets the rarest beers and the menu is split into categories which make it easy to find the beers you like. The food list is extensive, when I bring the kids, we sit in the room with the fish tank and we all find something we love. I don't know the owners, but they are always supporting the local community and can tell they take care of their people. The employees are always happy and helpful and help make this place one you will come back to time and time again. read more

Just left here from having my 30th birthday and it was delicious. We had a party of 12 and the service was great, food was warm, delicious and came out correct. This is definitely my new go to spot because the wings were to die for. read more

Okay to start off, a couple weeks ago my sister The Chorizo Tacos and had gotten food poisoning so definitely don't recommend eating there. BUTTTTT this is for the people looking to see if they should work there (10/10 would not recommend) anyway a friend of mine had worked there and made her schedule so it is every other weekend as she also has a second job, last weekend she was not scheduled to work but she was asked to on Saturday which she could not because she was with her grandmother, The person doing the schedule then put her down for Saturday anyway and declined her cover when she found one, She then proceeded to be disrespectful and wrote a mean email towards my friend with the rest of the people that work there (calling her out and embarrassing her in front of everyone). Not all of the staff but some people have been giving her a hard time there and i felt like y'all needed to know before u decide to work there. read more

Great local bar. Stopped here on a bar crawl. All guests and bartenders were super nice and service was fast

Best restaurant in Conshohocken. My wife and I moved here right before the pandemic from NC and as out of town Tennessee Titans fans they immediately welcomed us with open arms. Food is unbeatable, family who owns it became fast friends with us. BEST place to be in Conshy if you're a GREAT person. read more

Nothing more than the standard pub and more. I checked this place out last weekend for the first time during the snowstorm. I was impressed with how large the bar was and how much seating was available. Plus, the booths for seating were comfortable and spacious. For a heavy snowstorm, this establishment was packed. We got seated very fast and the waitress was very friendly and courteous throughout our experience for lunch. The menu was kind of limited, but hey, it's a pub! I got the Turkey Burger with house salad on the side, which was one of their specials. Surprisingly, the food was better than superb. I'm usually in a situation where the Turkey burger is over cooked and when it's not cooked correctly, you lose the flavor. Overall, the boathouse made a very good burger. Another plus to the the boathouse is that they're in partnership with a company called Spotluck with is available through your mobile device. It's an app that potentially saves you money on your dining experience, up to 25% off your check. After installing the app on my iphone, I was able to save 15% off my check, which made everything that much more tastier! I'm a fan,and I'm looking forward to heading back to the boathouse the next time i'm in the area, probably to catch a game and have a few beers! read more

I'm writing this review after four trips to the Boathouse. Expensive: fish and chips for $18? Saving grace: free order of 10 wings with every pitcher of beer ($15) Too bad the wings really suck on free wing day. What happened guys? I will only come back here if my boyfriend drags me. It is okay for what it is, but the prices are not worth it at all. They have a great selection of beer, which is what draws in a large crowd. read more

We have been coming to boathouse almost weekly since moving to Conshy. Wings on Wednesdays are a must. Great beer selection and an extensive menu whether you're in the mood for something healthier like the chicken avocado wrap or you want a delicious burger- you won't be disappointed. read more

Even though I needed to curbside pickup my food. The prime steak panini was great. The service was quick and easy read more

I really am not a fan of the conshy bar scene. It's just not for me. The Boathouse has been my favorite place in Conshohocken since I found out that this place existed. They have always had amazing beers on Tap and even had some of my favorite beers in their beer fridge. I've never had a bad meal and used to eat there a lot more. Years ago, when I played Texas hold'em more, I won quite a few Boathouse Bucks and I would use that to try all sorts of items on their menu. I mainly go there now for Trivia, which is just a lot of fun. The host is as great as the beer. Occasionally, I'll go for Wing-it Wednesday, where you get a free order of wings with a pitcher purchase. It's a great deal. The basement is now an interesting bottle shop. I've purchased a few hard to find items from their location. I tend to peek down there whenever I'm in the bar. read more

The service is nice. Bar is not as clean and kept up in general as it once was. Food has gone downhill tremendously. Ordered a salad that was to have cucumber and bacon crumbles on it....I found two quarter slices of cucumber and what appeared to be dehydrated bacon bits. The lettuce (had a rust color to the edges) and tomatoes were not fresh at all and the protein topping was cooked the wrong way. Disappointing read more

My boyfriend suggested this place when I had a sudden wing kick. As an appetizer we shared the bang bang shrimp which was amazing. I'm not a huge fan of shrimp but there were none left after me and my boyfriend dug in. We both ordered 12 wings, one order hot and the other honey BBQ. They came out in a reasonable time, not too fast and not too slow either. We both loved our wings because of the tasty sauces and how well they were prepared. We are both very cautious about ordering wings as we have both had bad experiences with undercooked wings from numerous different places. Good to know this awesome spot is just down Fayette street because we can't wait to come back again. read more

Delicious food, order was ready in time. Quick and easy to order and pickup. Look forward to eating there again

Mitt Romney wants you to eat here. At least judging by all the Republican photos on the wall he would be happy if you did. Restaurants are people, too, I think he'd tell you. Your unwitting donation to propel Rick Santorum's gay-marriage-is-dog-marriage fight gets you some really, really good wings. Crispy skin and tender meat with a full complement of standard and creative flavors. Sauces like Asian BBQ, hot honey garlic, and sweet suicide are worth trying; I'd stay away from chipotle lime. The rest of the menu isn't noteworthy. If you're here, you're here for wings. Don't over think it. It's a sports bar's sports bar and if you're spending over $15 for an entree you're doing it wrong. The beer list is strong with bottles from far flung places and is enough to keep your beer snob friend interested for an evening. The draught list isn't quite as capable, with a few local exceptions, and I suspect that's a product of the Boathouse knowing their customer: always suburban, often collegiate, rarely daring. Which kind of sounds like a Young Republicans meeting. read more

Was very pleasantly surprised by my visit to Flanigan's. For whatever reason, I thought it was going to be a bro-tactular (or perhaps pronounced brah-tacular) scene, but they had a really nice beer selection and some tasty food. We stopped in for a late lunch one day. Their beer selection is very good--I would guess that they had a couple of dozen taps, and there was a pretty extensive bottle selection. The latter likely comes from the bottle shop downstairs (more on this later). For food, we split an order of the thai peanut wings (fantastic) and the nachos (huge). The wings were sizable and nicely cooked. I highly recommend the thai peanut sauce. The Kilimanjaro of nachos they brought out for us was awe-inspiring. They tasted good, too. My only comment is that they runny cheese they use softens the chips and kills the texture. Would also like to see some jalapenos on there. Otherwise, very good. Even if you don't come here to eat and drink, I recommend visiting the bottle shop they have in the basement. It's a very nice selection of some big bottles, and (mostly) six packs that you can mix and match. I'm not crazy about the idea that bottles are individually priced (would prefer what lots of other places do, which is a fixed price for a mix-six), but otherwise it was a good experience. The staff here is very nice, both upstairs and down. Not sure what the scene here is like outside of lunch hours, but we enjoyed it during our visit. read more

I can make this REALLY short and sweet for you. Had 4 long Island ice teas in about an hour and half and walked out COMPLETELY sober. Not really much more to say folks. Bottom line; Drink somewhere else. read more

This is a frustrating bar to review. It has some great pluses, but the minuses are so much more. The unfriendly, unresponsive bartenders who don't seem to care if you ever come back. The food STINKS! Once i got sliders...easy enough to cook you would think...they were like rubber. the sliders were half the size of the bun, so it was thick bread and overcooked meat. Next time I got a "pulled pork" sandwich. sounds good...but it wasn't pulled pork...it was sliced pork which was ENTIRELY different. it was a decent sandwich, but it wasn't what was advertised. Okay, so trivia night was nice and there are a ton of tv's to watch games...but if the food is awful and the help sucks...what is the point of going. This place could be good...but it isn't...new management would help!! read more

D00d, this joint hits the bull's eye. Seriously, Wednesday nights are a good time. Pitchers and wings. One pitcher of whatever is on draft and a plate of wings. So many sauces to choose from. I was recommended the chipotle-lime and I will say this to you: do it. Fun decor, TVs all over the place for whatever game is on, upstairs tables, downstairs long bar in the front and tables and booths in the back. Quiet family restaurant off to the side. I'm not sure what the place is like on other nights, but it is definitely a low stress place to hang out with some friends, get drinks and some food, and really enjoy yourself. You can easily get to it by taking the R6 Norristown to "Conshohocken" and then walking up the hill to the restaurant. Enjoy! read more

5 Stars for the company - we had an unofficial Yelp/Dave's work/friends meetup here and that part was fun. We were a large group - around 15-20 at various times, and we had a couple of tables in the back of th ground floor. I did not think our service was particularly good, but I guess that's what you get for showing up on Wednesday, when it's 10 wings free with a pitcher of beer. It was a mob scene - which was only exacerbated by our large party. I think our server, Teresa, did as well as can be expected. But it was difficult to get drinks. When Carrie showed up it took her quite a while to get just a diet coke - even a personal trip to the bar didn't yield anything, because they were busy there, too. The beer selection is good, though. They have Smithwick's on tap, which always makes me happy, as well as Sam Adams' seasonal and various microbrews. (I never make it past Smithwick's.) There are TVs everywhere, even though they're old 20" CRTs for the most part, you can still watch your game pretty easily no matter where you are. Just don't expect HD. The wings are just OK IMO. I am kinda picky about my wings I guess, but these just aren't to my liking. They are meaty, which is good. But I prefer mine wet, which these were not, and the hot wings aren't very hot. The blue cheese served with them isn't good - cheap and runny instead of thick and lumpy. BUT they were free, so I can't complain about that. I ordered the steak panini for dinner - and I had a huge lump in my belly for hours afterwards, unfortunately. If you are looking for greasy bar food - wings, nachos, fried cheese sticks - to accompany your delicious beer then Flanigan's will suffice. Free wings on Wednesday's might be the only way to get me to go back, just because who doesn't like something free? But otherwise....I'll stick to the Malvern location because it at least has an outdoor deck. read more

We had a fabulous dinner at the Boat House! I ordered the BBQ shrimp and received 3 skewers, each containing three large, flavorful BBQ shrimp. My meal was accompanied by a fresh Caesar salad, a large portion of fresh green beans and sweet potato fries. These might have been the best sweet potato fries that I've had in a long time. My dining partner had a large plate of mussels and a bowl of French onion soup. Both of these items were also perfectly prepared and tasted great.The iced tea tasted freshly brewed. The staff was pleasant and welcoming. The atmosphere was upbeat, with a large bar, wooden tables and booths, and TV's on the walls. The food was excellent! I would definitely return in the future! read more

I keep wanting to like the Boathouse, and it keeps wanting not to be liked. Located right on Fayette St. in Conshy, the BH scores good marks for decor and draft beer selection. However, the drafts I've ordered here just didn't seem fresh. Yeah I'm picky when it comes to beer, but my palate just didn't care for what was on tap. The chicken cheesesteak was run of the mill...nothing special. Wings were pretty good but not epic by any stretch. I think the BH is probably a good stop for happy hour, but for lunch there are some much better options in Conshy. read more

I just had lunch here and the service was good. The food however was just serviceable. I was with a group friends, so we able to try 6 different items on the menu. I had the crab-cake sandwich, which was nothing to really write home about. I felt that the food was bland and that seemed to be the general consensus at the table. My friend who had the burger thought it was a frozen patty. The one true shinning star were the wings. They were crisp on the outside and oh juicy on the inside. I personally loved all of the sauces that I tried. Another plus was their extensive beer (bottle) selection. They had a ginger beer (Crabbie's) that I have only seen at beer festivals. I believe the only reason I would return to the establishment would be for those de-li-cious wings. read more

If you live out in the burbs, this is a pretty good spot to hang out, drink, and watch the game. But I want to especially highlight the food. It's very good here. Not "bar food". They've got lots of great stuff on the menu, but do check out their wings if you get a chance. They've also got these amazing cheese fries with this fancy cheese which will knock your fucking socks off. Delicious burgers too. Oh, and they've got these steak paninis there which will (if your socks are already gone) rip your pants off and go to town on you. The one downside to this place is that I've never really gotten a good vibe from any of the bartenders. They seem a little dickish. Especially this one really tall one with red hair. He's an arrogant ass. read more

Went here last night for the Wednesday night happy hour - free pitcher with wings...wait, or was it the other way around? Haha, that's what we all saw it as, at least. The wings were really yummy and the pitchers, large. I tried out their chicken nachos and wasn't that impressed. Their toppings were not spread out evenly (as the jalapenos were all chilling with each other on 1/2 the plate while the cubes of chicken were chilling on the other side not wanting anything to do with jalapenos). When I get nachos I want my toppings to look like they exploded all over the chips. Service for a big crowd was pretty good. Manager gave me change for $20 in a jiffy and the bartenders are all pretty attentive. I wish the sign outside was a little larger though, I kinda passed by it a couple of times before realizing that well..I had passed by it a couple of times. I'll probably be back if people want to meet up for a happy hour again, but not quite sure if I would go out of my way to make it down there. read more

Wing-it Wednesdays! As the other reviewers mentioned, Wednesdays are good nights to hit up the Boathouse...sesame wings are my fav...yum! I've gone there a few times recently to watch college hoops with friends and the staff is usually friendly enough to put the game on a tv closest to our table. They have a typical bar food menu, but I am a fan of their burgers. Weekend crowd can be hit or miss...probably a better crowd during the winter...and I've definitely seen a wide age range of people...the older crowd before 11pm, and the 21 year olds come out after. read more

Still looking for a good after work bar to drink and socialize and I might have found a regular at "The Boathouse". I have been with the family on a Sunday for dinner and didn't think it would be such an after work spot but after going on a Wednesday...Definately a happy hours place. FREE WINGS!! with every pitcher on Wednesday, can't go wrong with that. A little crowded but par the course for any good happy hour. Mixed drinks weren't too pricey and the pitchers were down right cheap. Since I live in Conshy this might become the place of choice on Wednesdays. read more

One star - and here's why. If you're gonna advertise that you're open until 2:00 A.M., then do it. Went there in the early 11 o'clock hour on a weeknight and even called to make sure they'd be open (even though the Yelp profile says until 2:00 A.M.), and their recording said, yep, until 2:00 A.M. I get there, and the door's locked. First time here, excited about what looks like a great beer list, and thought maybe there was a back entrance. Walked around the block - nope. Came back to the front door again, and there's another guy trying to get in - he was just out to smoke a cigarette, and got locked out. He finally got the attention of one of his buddies via text, and the door was opened - and I got in only because the smoker guy said I was with him. At that same time, a crowd of four approach looking to come in as well and they were turned away. I heard them mumble that Google said the place was open until 2:00 A.M. So in I go, and sidle up to the bar. After waiting about 5 minutes, a bartender comes down and tells me they'd already had last call. Of course, no one else looked like they were ready to leave, and it was maybe 11:30 P.M. They must be doing well because they weren't the least bit interested in my business, or the party of four that also wanted to come in. Too bad - it looked like it could've been a cool place (and I was looking forward to trying the two quads they supposedly had on tap), but I got rooked by both the advertising and the staff. WTF? read more

Out of few bar/pubs in Conshohocken this is one of the good ones to hang out with friends. Good crowd specially on friday/saturday and on sports nite. On wednesday they have wing-at-wednesday; with every pitcher you get 10 wings free..my personal fav 'Chipotle Lime Wings' They do have lot of seating area some are in midst of crowded bar but if you dont want the noise they do have seperate seating sections where you can have nice good time with whoever the hell you are with. read more

Good spot to grab beers with friends during the week. Conveniently located close to the Conshy train station and generally easy to grab a seat at the bar. I've been known to miss a train or two by getting sucked in at the Boathouse, if we are being honest with one another. Extensive draft beer selection with all the general favorites. read more

I came here for lunch with a group of six of my coworkers. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich, which came with a heaping side of fries, and the food was pretty good. The service, on the other hand, left a lot to be desired. Our server was at our table a total of three times - once to get our drink orders, again to get our food orders, and again to give us our check. One of my lunchmates was without a water for the majority of his meal because it was forgotten, and our server never came over to check that we had gotten everything. The same went for the food - my buffalo chicken sandwich had the wrong sauce, but I never got an opportunity to let our server know, because she never came over! I usually go easy on my reviews for service if a place is busy, but we were one of two tables in the back room. On our way out, I saw our server at the wait station, texting. The bar area looked lively and it seems like a good place to watch a sporting event, but the service was a complete turn off. It's not likely that I'll return. read more

I'll have to agree with Zach H. here. Focus on a certain part of the wall and you will feel you are in an uber-republican Chef Memento Room and not a pretty darn good restaurant. That being said, their chowder is just the thing to fill the void in your belly on a cold night and the hot honey garlic wings definitely do the trick. I liked this place. read more

Due to the laws of physics (or something like that) restaurants can't be everything to everyone. You don't go to a chain restaurant if you want a gourmet feast- you go to a place downtown like Vetri for that. And you don't go to Vetri if you want some cheap grub at 3 am, you go to a cheesesteak shop or a 24-hour diner. So if you come to Boathouse, don't expect a gourmet meal. Don't expect a romantic spot. Don't expect dirt cheap prices. But do expect decent food. Do expect a pretty killer beer list. Do expect a post-collegiate atmosphere with a whole lotta testosterone (and a billion tvs playing a billion different sporting events/episodes of Sportscenter). read more

While I'm not a Conshohocken resident, I think if I lived in this area, I would be a regular to this bar. The Boathouse is a great neighborhood bar with plenty of seating for both small and large groups (there was an alumni association hanging out upstairs watching a game). The beer selection is really good--the beer menu is organized by type, so for a wheat beer lover like myself, I was quickly able to hone in on the beers I would most likely enjoy. We got some wings as an appetizer. I liked the variety of wings to choose from--more than just your typical mild, hot, bbq--they also had an Asian BBQ and Thai Peanut. The wings were meaty and could be ordered in the usual quantities of 6, 12, etc. The menu consists of typical pub grub like burgers, fish and chips, etc., but along with a few interesting daily specials. I enjoyed the prosciutto sandwich--for $10 you get a tremendously meaty sandwich with spinach, tomato, and onion and a side of fries. When I make prosciutto sandwiches at home, I only use a couple slices, but this thing was PACKED. We were there for lunch on a Saturday and it wasn't very busy, so our server was able to stop by and frequently check in with us. Our food arrived quickly and came out at the right temperature. Plenty of tv screens along the bar and dining areas make this a good place to watch sporting events with friends or solo. Reasonably priced menu items with large portions make it an accessible regular hangout spot. read more

Whenever I have a craving, it's for Boathouse wings, nachos or fries. We used to live across the street and get takeout or go to wing night way more than we should've. Now that we've moved, we still make a point to get there as much as we can. By far the best nachos around! read more
