    Came here for a good friend's pre-wedding party they reserved the back yard. It was super casual, felt cozy like someone's backyard. Honestly the vibe could not have been better. Drinks, music and servers were great! Highly recommend!

    I can't believe this is only my first time at Jet Wine bar! Looking forward to becoming a regular here. We went for an ancient wines tasting and it did not disappoint! The owner, Jill, is an archaeologist and restaurant owner and knows a massive amount about wine and the history of wine. For $55, we were able to sample (aka full glasses of) six wines from Greece, Lebanon, Italy, and more. They also focused on female vintners and fun and funky wines. This included great charcuterie, hummus, fishtown pickle project pickles, and more. We loved the passport-style of trying the wines, thought all of the staff was warm and lovely, and adored the outdoor open-air garden. I will definitely return for another wine tasting evening here!

    Jet Wine Bar is an excellent location in the city, with the star of the show being their expansive outside seating area. This is is a great location to come on a warm summer afternoon evening, and saample a few wines/snacks. The outdoor area has a lot of tables for seating, and is a bright and colorful space. They have a plethora of interesting wines to try (including orange wines), and the staff were super helfpul in allowing us to sample wines and providing recommendations. We only came here for a drink and a snack, but they had lots of great snacks on thier menu perfect for pairing with wine. We had the hummus (recommended by the staff), and they did not dissapoint. This was an excellent and creamy hummus, paired with toasted pita and marinated olives. This is a definitely a space I will return to for drinks with friends, adn would also be a great location for a summer or fall date!

    It's 5pm on a Friday. The work week is over and I am ready to get out of my house. So, we hit up Jet Wine Bar. The outside setup was perfect -- for a romantic or a casual friend date. The whole place was beautifully lit. As we looked through the menus, we see a variety of drinks to choose from. The Spiked Mexican Hot Chocolate caught our eye, but in the end, we opted for a bottle of the Macedon pinot noir. We were at a wine bar after all. We also ordered the smoked BBQ wings to munch on, as it seemed like it would pair well with the pinot noir. My husband and I spent a good two hours sitting back, enjoying our wine and wings under the night sky. It wasn't a super cold night, but each table had its own heat lamp and the option of adjusting the heat to their preference. I see us coming back alot to hang out in the wine garden and also to try other wines.

    Beautiful outdoor space

    Why did we wait all summer to escape into this minimalist piece of Heaven.......... well I guess the crowds kept us away. So we were glad to stumble upon it on Black Friday. We were explained about the Covid rules and seated in the little garden with multiple heat lamps. I truly appreciate a bar/restaurant that goes above and beyond to keep their patrons and employees safe and healthy. Each table has an individual hand sanitizer bottle. The servers try to minimally touch the plates or cups, most of which is recycled. We decided to share a pitcher of Sangria, and ordered the fried chicken sandwich and fries. I am so glad I asked for the pimento cheese because it was just perfect. As long as Jet wine bar is open, I will be frequenting and supporting this local business.

    Great outdoor location with comfortable and casual drinks/food. When we were there, there was a bao bun pop-up in addition to the regular food menu. The buns were delicious as well as the drinks. As primarily a beer drinker, I appreciated there were several craft options from which to choose. Laura took great care of our table.

    Covid-19 Review When restaurants first re-opened for outdoor dining, we headed to Jet Wine Bar. Their outdoor dining space is inviting considering its South Street location. The restaurant was very well prepared and staffed to handle dining during the "Covid-Era". We were asked to keep masks on until we were seated, once at our table we could remove our masks. The tables were situated well beyond the 6 feet social distance practice. All tables had hand sanitizer and bug spray on them. All the staff wore masks and they were very professional and friendly. They have a menu specifically for outdoor dining, which can be located on their website. No hard copy menus were provided, another thoughtful precaution. We ordered the Veggie Burger and the Spicy chicken sandwich. Both of us really enjoyed our food and the entire experience. Kudos to Jet Wine bar for handling an otherwise unprecedented situation in a very professional, safe, and cautious manner.

    I was a fan of Jet Wine Bar. It has a great atmosphere and some fun seats by a window that opens and faces outside. It's a little small, but it has a nice intimate vibe that's needed for a wine bar. My friend and I went for some wine, cheese and meats on a random afternoon. It was empty but still a great spot to chill for a bit. We each ordered a sparkling flight, and I really liked two of the wines in our 3-wine flight. We also ordered a cheese plate with 2 cheeses and 2 meats. It's a great place to try all types of wine since you can order smaller ounce glasses.

    I returned to Jet to meet a friend for happy hour in the Jet Wine Garden. The garden is super cute and quite big - even with all of the tables very appropriately spaced. Masks are required any time you aren't in your seat, and there is hand sanitizer provided at each table. Wines by the glass (a small plastic cup) are a little pricey but considering I'm not going out much these days, it's a worthy splurge. I enjoyed the Grüner Veltliner and Müller Thurgau on my recent visit. Food comes from the Rex 1516 kitchen and I really enjoyed the farmer's basket biscuits and pimento cheese. They were out of my first choice for dinner, the crab cake sandwich, so I opted for a caesar with grilled shrimp which was very tasty. Plus a side of fries, because fries. The staff is friendly and helpful and I felt like Jet handled all of the new health guidelines very well. Looking forward to my next visit!

    Went in support of Beirut dinner night which I thought was an awesome idea the restaurant had. They great options on the menu. Looked spectacular online. Place didn't look as quaint as it did online. Went with 4 other gfs we each ordered an entree, waitress was not very attentive and when food was brought to the table she said "seems like they put the food all together in one plate is that ok?" We were five people there was rice and meat in one and rice and eggplant in another. No it was not ok- she was bothered by that. First off we did not say we were sharing our food second it's COVID how/why would we be ok with it even if we are friends that's like sharing one cup for drinks. Every time we would order anything and finish it the waitress would just stack it on the table instead of clearing the table as if it wasn't her job to clean it up. Other than that- it was a cute backyard type of place. Nothing fancy nothing special. Got to chat with the bartender inside when I went to the restroom while was so sweet - she explained a lot about the history of the restaurant and owner which was helpful to know. Outside crew should try and get some tips on how to be a little more friendly towards patrons and maybe a little attentive.

    Came here (on 3/7) based on my sister in law's suggestion for an after dinner drink (around 11 ish) with friends and family. The guys didn't want to join us and preferred to go get the car since it was a hike. The rest of us were cool with it. Heck, who doesn't like door service. Jet Bar is cute and cozy with bar and stools, however, I understand they have a lounge area downstairs. Our goal was just to get a quick cocktail to end the night so we didn't get to experience it. We ordered the Smokey Orchard (tequila, mezcal, apple cider, lemon and ginger) and the Honey & Sage Bourbon (bourbon, sage, honey, lemon) cocktails. Drinks were cold, strong and delish. The barmaid was friendly and attentive. We come into the city often and am always looking for a place for a quick drink. We'll keep Jet Wine bar on the radar. Thanks for a great night cap.

    Popped in for happy hour (5-7) on my recent trip to Philly for a few glasses of sangria. The place itself is pretty small but cute with a posh atmosphere. The wine list is just ok, but the sangria was tasty - pretty cinnamon-y/spicy in a good way! Overall, a chill spot to relax and have a few glasses!

    Made my own cheese board - you can pick the quantity and type of cheese!
    Ragini G.

    Cute place that has a happy hour on the weekend (unique and a major plus in my books)! Came here during Bloktoberfest to escape the frenzy on the streets. They have a lot of options on happy hour special - both drink wise and for food. You can put together your own cheese board which was great. In general, it's a great option for a weekend outing without breaking the bank. It's all bar seating and relatively small so plan ahead.

    This might be my favorite bar in Philly yet! It's so quaint, sophisticated but not pretentious…read more Casual attire (we showed up after a tennis match and didn't get one side eye!Other patrons also wore cute/ smart casual fits!) The bartenders were so nice, speedy, and knowledgeable! They patiently explained to us the differences among some drinks and provided great recs based on our preferences! The customers/ patrons that are drawn to Grace and Proper are what make this place shine! We had a full dating intervention with strangers (we asked them for advice!) and it was so fun! This is the kind of place that makes you believe in humanity and whimsical connections again! The lighting indoors can be VERY dim as we were there around sunset. I think a few dim bulbs in the corner would still carry the vibe but make it less dark. We all had different kinds of cocktails and love the presentation and creative recipes! Will revisit more often!

    Our favorite spot in Philly!…read more My husband claims that Claude AI recommended this place. We absolutely loved it! The entrance is so charming. With potted flowers all over the restaurant. Smattering of patio tables on both Eighth Street and Carpenter. When I saw it, I said yes before even looking at the menu. We ordered drinks at the bar and took them outside. It's very chic but also casual. There were mostly pairs or trios - no families. Not th. We saw people ordering a little bit of everything. Honestly, the menu looked great! The kale Caesar salad, the piri piri buffalo chicken dip, bacon wrapped plums, etc. The drinks were the best we had on our Philly trip! The Spanish Monk which had gin, lemon juice, frothed egg white and smoked paprika. I had the GGG which they carried over from their old menu. Can't remember what was in it but she said it was similar to Bee's Knees which is one of my favorite! There's self service still water and sparkling water in the back of the restaurant. Perfectly chilled. Perfectly bubbled! Such a lovely spot!

    Ahhh, how the city of Philadelphia's food scene continues to be extremely disappointing for me…read more There has not been one restaurant that I've tried where the food and/or combination with the experience has been a good once. I made a review recently on how I very much disliked Fitz on 4th and my anxiety was ramping up seeing this restaurant was barely two blocks away The food had no flavor and was extremely bland. I have never been in a restaurant and asked for the salt and pepper shakers (unless it's for eggs lol) and unfortunately that didn't help much at all here. The branzino dish was plated nicely, but had zero flavor. The orzo and corn was giving just got this box of orzo from Trader Joe's and threw some canned corn in the mix. Branzino? Very plain. The Cacio e pepe was also....flavorless. I love cacio e pepe and I was between that and the branzino at first, but knew if the if the sauce wasn't balanced perfectly between cheese and pepper, it would ruin the dish. We opted to have chicken added and as you can tell, it doesn't look like there was any chicken at all. It was a let down from the first bite of both dishes, for both my partner and I. Chicken liver mousse is one of my absolute favorite things ever, since a kid. Generally, I'm given a small pot/portion of the mousse to spread on a cracker or piece of bread myself. Here, they do things a little differently. They spread it on some bread topped with cherry agrodolce and pistachios. I thought this dish was pretty neat. My fav thing was although the bread was baked and crunchy on the exterior the middle was very soft and I thought this was a perfect balance. But, the skimped out of the chicken mousse and barely put any on the bread, especially the first piece of bread in the pic. The wine was nice, but it was not poured it front of us and I have zero clue what it is. We asked for something most similar to Merlot. Wouldn't try this place again & didn't think it was worth the cost. Side note, there's a surcharge for paying with a card AND they are currently participating in restaurant week.

We ordered their: (1) bacon burger (rating 3.0/5) (2) beef sandwich (rating 3.0/5) (3) fries (rating 3.5/5) Don't get me wrong, the food isn't bad. The best way I can explain it is, their food is satisfactorily adequate. It tastes good enough, it's juicy enough, it's filling enough. It's what I would call "fine". The thing is, their burgers are TINY (not too far from a slider even) and EXPENSIVE for how small they are, so being "fine" isn't what I want. If you're going to charge that much and give that little, the food needs to be mouth wateringly incredible. Otherwise give me a normal-sized "fine" burger. Service Notes: No complaints about the service. This place has bit of a "nicer bar" ambiance, but it's quite small. It felt a little too confined honestly. TLDR: Food is fine, but not worth the cost. There are better burgers at lower price points.
