    Cool decor
    Kimberly K.

    Fabulous local pub! Pork sandwich is the bomb! First time here on a Friday lunch hour. Not crowded. The atmosphere is spacious and updated decor. Great selection of beers and liquor. Wings , sandwiches flat bread. Place is super clean. Parking is on street- tricky to park. I will be back for sure.

    Went for the first time the other night and it was fantastic - found a seat right away, food was excellent, price was MUCH lower than I expected, and the service was phenomenal! Would definitely come back again!

    Nice interior for a neighborhood bar

    This has been a local institution for decades. Wonderful atmosphere in a private setting with mostly locals. The beer on tap is great, same all good is cooked at the restaurant and despite basic, tastes very well. Prices are also still reasonable. Great to watch games too.

    Roast beef sandwich

    The Manoa tavern was previously closed, but has been renovated and newly opened. This place was known for being a dive bar before, so I had never been here. We decided to try it one night for dinner. It was very nicely done inside and looks like a nice restaurant now. It is fairly small, but we were able to get a table in a few minutes on a week night. For apps, we started with the fried Mac and cheese and wings. Both were great. I loved the fried Mac and cheese and the sauce that was on it was so good. For my entree, I ordered the roast beef sandwich. The roast beef sandwich was great and a good sized portion. However, the roast beef itself was a little too salty. Service was good. Overall, this is a nice spot for bar food. I would come here again.

    You need to dive below the dive bar classification to describe this place. It's in a row of store fronts that is not the best example of Havertown. Parking is street only unless you want to cheat and park in the nearby church lot. Not a good thing. This place is dark dark dark. This could be a place where nobody will know your name because they can't see you! Cheap drinks and average bar food. There are plenty of other better places in Havertown to have a drink.

    Back from the dead with new direction and ownership, and a spectacular renovation to boot. Now smoke free and with a number of tables, the new Manoa Tavern can appeal to a broader range of customers. Simple menu (mainly bar food with a few salads thrown in) executed well. Portions are extremely generous. Beer list was really well-planned to appeal to craft beer lovers and haters alike. You can have a Miller Lite or a Singlecut Pilsener....your choice. Great, friendly service from people who want you to know their names and put forth effort to know yours. Lots of TV's for sports fan, but with volume off (with modern rendition of jukebox covering the silence). A wonderful addition to Havertown, and one expertly scripted to reach all sides of a population with diverse tastes.

    Every once and while a joint motivates me to do a GOOD, BAD, UGLY review and this is one of those…read moretimes. I've been driving by this place for years and finally I stopped in just because it was there. This is a neighborhood dive bar that doesn't pretend to be anything but what it is. It's very dim and the bar itself seats about 20. THE GOOD- * Nice parking lot to the left and back of the building. Much better than street parking. * Vivacious and attentive bartender. * Cheap drinks. THE BAD- * Don't come here for craft beers. Beers here are mostly cheap domestics and meant to be guzzled. * And unbelievably foul mouthed crowd. I quickly tired of f**k and s**t from multiple patrons every other sentence. THE UGLY- * This is one of the few SMOKING bars remaining in PA! You can smell it from outside. I returned home, stripped and tossed everything in the wash. So what would it take to entice me to return? Victoria's Secret models as bartenders dressed like the commercials might do it but I'd need to think about it!

    Asked a chick out on a first date here a while back thinking it was fun place. Place doesn't try…read moreto be special just beers and shots with pool tables and TVs. Plenty of parking. Place can be intimidating with all the animals in there having a good time and blasting music but the bartender Sean was very cool and made us feel welcomed. Bathrooms and facilities were very clean. Met a local named Bizarro Miyagi, he was like a god in that place. It was fun getting to know him. We still talk about how great that place is. Way better than Casey's. Right up the hill in Drexel Hill Bo!!!
