We needed to kill some time while waiting for a table and decided to see what had replaced Separatist. We were pretty thrilled to find out it was Human Robot (which has our favorite logo!).
Though some of us have sampled and enjoyed Human Robot at other bars and restaurants around Philly, it was the first time any of us had visited one of their locations. The interior had basically no changes from when it was Separatist, but the bustling atmosphere felt completely different. This place is popular for good reason: the beers are just really well-executed. Someone in my group ordered the tmavy and the first thing he said was, "tastes like Prague". Others tried the IPA and one of the German-style pils, and they enjoyed them as well. I went for the low-ABV Radler, and even that was delightful - a tart, grapefruit-forward take on a drink that usually is treated as a second thought.
I also love all of Human Robot's glassware, and service was friendly and efficient. We were all perplexed and intrigued by the milktube and will definitely be trying it next time. read more
