    Graffiti Bar in Philadelphia is an absolute must for anyone visiting the city. The star of the show? The edamame dumplings--delicate, creamy, and so delicious. I've had them about 20 times, and yes, it's completely fine to be this obsessed. Tucked away at the end of a graffitied walkway, this hidden spot has more than just amazing food. The ambiance is unmatched, very urban with a cozy, intimate setting. It's the perfect spot to sip a cocktail and take in the unique aesthetic.

    Dan Dan wontons. Holy moly. I could eat 4 orders of these.

    My first time back here in a decade (since kids) and this place not only still got it, but it's better than I remember! Use to love winding up here in my 20s. Cool secret little spot, good drinks, great place to hang with friends. Fish bowls were always fun too. Came back a couple weeks ago to cap off a night out in the city. Place was crowded with a mix of ages, which I appreciate now that I'm getting near 40. Saw a bunch of people eating and I got excited. Ordered like 5 appetizers to share because everything sounded so good. Loved the dan dan wontons and the cheesesteak buns. Everything came out very fast. Such perfect food to eat after a night of drinking. Some communal tables so we got to chat with some folks and even shared some of our apps because I thought they deserved to know how good it was. My old fashioned was also really good. No complaints at all. Going to keep Graffiti Bar in the back of my mind next time I'm in the city. Apparently I'm not too old yet.

    The bar behind the bar.  Tiny pours big prices. Kinda understand why it's empty.

    Expensive. Tiny pours. Cool vibe. One of those places trying to build cred by its "hidden" location and exclusivity. Service was odd. Almost empty when we arrived but hard to get served. The bar backs in Philly often throw their hands up, essentially saying, "wait for the real bartender." Graffiti no different. Did not try or see any food in the under 60 minutes we were there. Likely not to return. -- working man's gourmand

    Happy Hour - Kantoi Road
    Anastasia G.

    Ambiance: I love the trio! (Sampan, Double Knot & Graffiti Bar) If I had to choose I would pick Double Knot for the sushi but Graffiti bar always has available seating! Graffiti Bar is more of a bar, more there for the food than the ambiance, the other restaurants have more of an ambiance. Service: I always go for happy hour and the service is always quick! Never wait more than 5 minutes for my food literally! Food: I would argue that you guys have the best happy hour menu in Philadelphia! Everything is always amazing. But my go-tos that I order every time are the beef satay, kimchee fried rice and the kung pao chicken wings! I would love to come back and try the whole happy hour menu to add to that list!

    Such a fun bar! Get there early to get a seat and enjoy a great happy hour! Favorites: Beef Satay and Chicken wings! And the mini ice cream cones are perfect. Great prices, great food, great vibes!

    Ming mule and water. A bit too much ice

    Had a ming mule and my honey had the fernet. A very cool entrance, vibe and staff was friendly. Not much on drink specials but a good spot for after dinner cocktails. A bit too much ice

    Pork banh mi
    Jordyn K.

    Best happy hour in the city? 100% hands down. The drink specials are great but the food specials are better! The banh mi is my favorite, and so is the kimchi fried rice (ate too quick to snap a pic). It's my favorite go to for food and drinks without a doubt.

    Good drinks, good food (from sampan), and good ambiance. The food comes relatively quick but the drinks take a bit if there's a lot of people at the bar. The Kantoi road drink is my favorite, it's basically just a spicy margarita. Their drink special of the day however....yeah i'd pass on that. It was an iced tea type of drink but lowkey tasted like sewer water and wasn't worth the $5 that it was. I'd just stick with the house wine if I was drinking on a budget there The place gets crowded pretty early so if you want a seat I suggest getting there ahead of the happy hour crowd. Everything else is really good though and I'll definitely be coming back!

    Crab Rangoon
    Christian T.

    Almost 4 stars just because this was a little hard to find (went into Sampan first ) Came for happy hour on a Saturday. Very busy but managed to find a great corner spot at the bar for the four of us. Loud music Crab Rangoon was a small portion, but the best I've ever had. Scorpion Bowl was well worth the $25, but sadly was not in a bowl (more like a Vase).

    a pint of beer on the bar counter

    Legit bar, great selections of beers and spirits. They serve real drinks with the proper amount of real booze for a reasonable price. Was a low light place TV's were visible...the food looked delicious! Was hard to figure out the entrance... maybe by design!? Respectfully, Bryan Oklahoma City

    pork bun
    Victoria G.

    Food 10/10 Great happy hour for the value and the food was quite killer too. We ordered the tequila scorpion bowl, which was a huge jug, probably had 5 or 6 shots in there, for the two of us. It destroyed us in a good way. They came out with some extra kimchi fried rice, so we gladly accepted it, although I wouldn't recommend ordering it because it tasted too watery. The edamame dumplings were spectacular, and the broccoli were quite good as well. The pork buns were decent, edible, but not the highlight of the menu. Atmosphere 8/10 Honestly love the vibes of this hidden area a lot more than the inside of Sampan, as there was sunlight streaming through the ceiling, a very high ceiling at that. The bar area was very clean, plenty of bar space, felt a lot more lively than the inside seating area. Had some air conditioning so it wasn't steamy hot despite having a clear roof. Service 9/10 Very friendly bartender, they knew their locals, and everything came up very timely.

    Let be the craft cocktails and the food was on point.  Great happy hour

    Could the space accommodate a larger party? Say 20 people? I have an older group of women for a bachelorette party. I would love to make Graffiti Bar a pit stop, but I want to make sure the space could accommodate us. Thanks!

    Agree with above comment. You'd have to arrive before happy hour starts, I would probably recommend 345pm - the space gets packed as soon as happy hour starts especially on a nice weather day or Friday. Or I'd recommend asking the establishment -… Read more

    Does the Happy Hour extend through Sat and Sun?

    Hi! Yes, our happy hour is daily, including weekends from 4-7pm. I hope this answers your question!

Since it was the weekend, we had to wait in the lobby downstairs for about 15-20 minutes. Luckily, we made it up just in time to catch the sunset and take some amazing photos. We were also fortunate enough to find seats at the bar, but if you want guaranteed seating, it's definitely better to make a reservation in the main seating area. Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Food - 5/5 Parking - Valet / Nearby Parking Atmosphere - The view is absolutely the star of the show. Watching the sunset over the city from this height creates an unforgettable experience, especially for a special occasion. The space itself feels upscale and lively without being overwhelming. Service - The service was excellent. Our bartender, Michael, made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. He was attentive, friendly, and added to the overall experience. My girlfriend especially appreciated the complimentary olives, which was a nice touch. What We Ordered - Old Fashioned (Very well balanced and smooth) Cucumber Martini (Refreshing and perfectly crafted) Final Thoughts - This was the perfect spot to celebrate a birthday. Between the stunning views, great drinks, and attentive service, it made for a memorable evening. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a great lounge experience in Philadelphia.

Food (7/10) - Mediocre food for a four seasons place. Found two thick bones in my sea bass and a thick branch that you can't chew in the veggies. Pasta was decent but nothing to rave about. Popular trout sushi is overrated - ratio of crispy rice and trout isn't right. Service (10/10) - top notch! Ambiance (10/10) - Romantic, relaxed. Beautiful 360 skyline view all around Philadelphia. We got there before sunset and got to enjoy all colors of the sky. Hope you get the window tables but it's not guaranteed.

This place wasn't as crowded when we came at 5p on a Sunday but suddenly it picked up. I like how the bar was a long rectangle size. There was plenty of space for everyone to sit comfortably at the bar. The happy hour menu is very decently priced. I got the John Daly which was vodka, lemon, and black tea syrup. I felt like it was too sugary but it was a decent size. I had a champagne as well which was pretty nice. The champagne here is interesting because they put a sugar cube in there. Food wise we shared the pulled pork sliders, whipped feta, and half pound mussels. For 5 dollars, the pulled pork sliders is a must get. I really liked the bread and the pickles. The half pound mussels was really small. We were shocked it was a half a pound. It was pretty good and had some spice to it. I really liked how this dish had hot Italian sausage. We also had the whipped feta. I liked the pecans that were on top of that dish.
