Cider and menu, May 2025
Anna S.

Pretty cool spot for a quick beer or glass of cider. They only had one gluten free option on the menu which was the cider and it was pretty unique compared to other ciders I've tried. Unlike the sugar bombs I'm used to, this cider was nice and dry and refreshing. I liked it. They also have food here if you get hungry, although I didn't try any myself. You can take cans to go which my boyfriend did because he's obsessed with their beer. If you know someone who is a beer lover, I'd recommend stopping by especially if you're visiting from out of town.

Human Robot, Philadelphia, PA. I went to the belly of the beast. I'm pretty sure this is Human Robot's original location. This location has a drab industrial vibe. I included pictures of my The Cheesesteak Life beach collection clothing to lighten the mood. I like most of Human Robot's beers. This was a lime raspberry sour. It had flavor but not much sour. That's about it. No parking. No outside food.

Human Robot is a craft brewery that opened in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in January 2020. It was founded by business partners Ken Correll, Chris Roller and Jake Atkinson. When they decided to open their new brewery, the trio found a location in Philly's Kensington neighborhood that had served as St. Benjamin's Brewing for a number of years. The partners hired Andrew Foss to be their head brewer; he had previously served as St. Benjamin's brewer for three years. The name "Human Robot" was chosen as a nod to the electronic duo Daft Punk. It reflects how half of the brewery's beers are lagers (human) while the other half are IPAs, sours and stouts (robots). Although they brew a variety of styles, Human Robot has become most well-known for their high-quality lagers. Human Robot has became the fastest growing brewery brand in Philadelphia. A second location (dubbed "The Haus") opened in Jenkintown in 2022, a third opened in Schuylkill Banks in 2023 (relocated to Brewerytown in 2025), a fourth (dubbed "Süd") opened in South Philly in 2023, and a fifth (dubbed "Doubles") opened in New Hope in 2025. I recently visited Human Robot's original location while my family and I were on a short trip to Philadelphia. I had heard a lot of great things about them in the past few years and was very excited to visit. I first had to get a pour of their signature "Milktube" (Czech Amber Lager). It is traditionally served with a "mlíko" (or "milk") pour, which gives it a thick, creamy foam appearance. Human Robot has popularized a version which is served in a tall, tube-shaped stange glass. I enjoyed it the recommended way... by chugging it. It helps to appreciate the hoppy aroma of the foam. It was almost like a delicious beer milkshake. I also enjoyed pours of "Czech 10°" (Czech Pale Lager) and "Tammy 13°" (Czech Dark Lager). Human Robot also has an on-site kitchen called Poe's Sandwich Joint. For lunch, I had the "Mushman" (chicken cutlet, house marinara, fresh basil, shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan), my wife had the "Seoulgirl" (Korean fried chicken topped w/ Kitty's homemade kimchi slaw, drizzled honey, spicy gochujang aioli and cilantro), and our sons shared the "Loaded Fries" (house smoked whiz, bacon, chopped scallions). The food, like the beer, was also fantastic! I also purchased a four-pack of "Collective: Citra & Peacharine" (New England IPA) to take home. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Human Robot and I hope to visit some of their additional locations in the future!

Had a great time at Human Robot while in Philly! It has a great vibe, and the young man behind the bar was super friendly and had a great sense of humor. Only one stout, which I didn't care for, but they have some excellent hazy IPA's.

Amazing brewery in Philly. They have a couple other locations. The prices are quite low and they gave us samples and a free beer for my wife birthday so gave them a 100% tip. It's an older dark building which is nice and they have sandwiches to order but we were eating cheesesteaks elsewhere instead.

The bartender was super chill. Came in on a random Monday and he took great care of us. The beer was super unique, loved it! 10/10 would go again

Excellent beers poured by cool people. They even have a Lukr tap for their Czech-style beers. A must-visit for craft beer lovers.

My first milk tube and I kind of liked it! So light yet delicious. I had a Czech style beer and my husband got something fruity (can't recall its name) but he really enjoyed the fruity beer. I saw lots of regulars the last time I went. They don't have any food but I saw a bunch of people eating - maybe you can BYOF?

Michelle T.

Review is only for drinks! Staff is very friendly and nice. The beers were so good. It is a brewery so they only have beer. I don't love beers, but the drink I had was so good. It was very fruity, it almost tasted like a fruitshake!

The Original Milktube experience!
Michael H.

Volleyball "Dad" group decided to make a quick run to Human Robot before recent NEQ girls volleyball tournament at the Philly convention center. Glad we did as what a fantastic place. Excellent selection and variety of beers and yes, you must try the "original" Milktube. Sounds/looks crazy, but a great experience (and tradition from the history lesson we were given by the staff. To top off a great experience, Poe'a Sandwich shop, located inside is an amazing menu of the most creative, most flavorful sandwiches you will get in the city. Can't wait to go back! Must stop if you are in the city.

When in Philadelphia make a stop here and forget the cheesesteak. Drink the foam and grab a sandwich! You will not be disappointed!

This is such a cool vibe! They only serve beer so if you want cocktails or anything more elaborate than a simple cider or canned drink, look elsewhere. This place is really good for groups or individuals. It's loud but not too loud and the staff is very friendly!

Gabbygool Sandwich and Milk Tube
Jessica R.

I'll be honest. I'm not much of a lager person, but I got a good meal and a unique experience out of Human Robot, so I liked it. I usually go for sours and ciders. Here, I just decided to give the milk tube (just a taste of the famous milk pour the brewery is known for) a try. It didn't taste that different from the other lagers I've tried, but it did have a unique texture thanks to the foam. I've come here multiple times for the sandwiches, which riff on the typical Italian and chicken cutlet sandwiches. It's just enough that I feel like I'm getting a unique combo I wouldn't have tried on my own. Menu items I've tried: - Splatter (my favorite) - Gabbygool - Skinny Joey Fries I've also had a daily special with a name I can't remember. All the sandwiches are super filling and last me about two meals. Will definitely be back!

See all

Ask the Community - Human Robot

Since Poe's does not serve police officers are we allowed to bring in food?

Nope. Eat beforehand best suggestion.

Can we bring outside food in?

Sorry no, but you can always order from Poe's Sandwich Joint in the brewery, they are open at the same times as Human Robot.

What are the hours?

Hours have now been posted, thanks!

We were so disappointed when they came out - they were literally the blandest burgers I have ever tasted in my life. The ambiance of the restaurant is really nice though. They have outdoor seating for when the weather is nice and a LOT of seating inside. It's almost set up like a giant cafeteria so there is a lot of space for big parties. Overall, I'd come here to get a couple drinks with my friends and maybe an appetizer or two. But don't expect the food to be anything great.

The first thing that stands out to me about Two Locals is the huge space with all kinds of amenities. Whether its a seat at the bar, grabbing a seat by a barrel, or grabbing a table for a group of any size; it has the perfect seating arrangement for you. While the brewery side only serves libations the space also features the Landing Kitchen serving all kinds of damn good food. Another plus is the huge variety of games that they have to play, including an ice breakers questions game that made for a good second date activity. The service at Two Locals is great and filled with bartenders who provide good brew suggestions. And I love that Two Locals is a brewery that goes beyond pouring IPAs while also pouring some damn good ones.. Favorite beers of mine from here include the Nubian brown ale, the Gaspar dark Mexican lager, the Riots smoked rauchbier, and the Foway farmhouse saison. For events outside of beer Two Locals features events like a comedy showcase, movie screenings, gospel karaoke, and then some. And starting in Apirl 3rd they'll also be partnering with UCity Square to have a pop-up beer garden in The Lawn.

When the big crowd from the conference left they opened the upstairs. The Mac and cheese is SO GOOD. Very creamy and rich, the bread crumbs were an amazing surprise edition. This fatty finished it before the beer came. Lots of beer choices. I took off a start be size they were under staffed. So we were just waiting around for the check and the waitress kept forgetting what we asked for. Honestly, not her fault. There were like ~100 people and only 3 employees that I saw. So no designated waiter for tables. These poor 3 employees were the bartenders and the table waiters.
