I came in with some friends one late afternoon/early evening, and it was a really fun spot. Not…read moreall that big inside, but a really friendly vibe inside, very small town like with some historic charm with all the decorations. There's a strange-looking critter up top along with just random stuff riddled around the bar, and a bunch of popular beers on tap. All the staff were really friendly (shout out to Kevin!), and they were on top of keeping drinks filled. I also ordered some food - a double smash burger and some fries. Both were really tasty - that burger was really juicy! Great fixings on that burger, but it's a bit on the small side, so if hungry, probably a good idea to order the extra patty. Fries were really good too. They take cash or card, and they hold on to your card in a cup near the register until you close out - not what I've usually seen, but makes sense, I suppose. I'd return for another hangout with the guys! Kevin, come toss some discs with us!

Roache & O'Brien opened in 1933, right at the tail end of Prohibition. For nearly a century, it has…read moreremained a no-frills sanctuary on Lancaster Avenue. While a change in ownership occurred recently, the new team has wisely kept the "time capsule" vibe intact--think dark wood, dim lighting, and a total lack of pretension. The kitchen doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, and that's exactly why people love it. The Burgers: Often cited as some of the best in the area, these are classic, juicy bar burgers. They recently introduced a "smash burger" style that has been winning over even the most stubborn regulars. The Cheesesteaks: You won't find any touristy gimmicks here. These are authentic, local-style cheesesteaks--perfectly chopped meat, plenty of cheese, and served on a roll that actually holds up to the grease. This is a Philly sports bar to its core. The walls are adorned with years of sports memorabilia, and when the Eagles are playing, the atmosphere is electric. It's the neighborhood's unofficial living room for Sunday games. You'll find multi-generational fans shouting at the TVs, cold domestic drafts in hand, and a level of camaraderie that you only get in a place that's been around for 90+ years.

I drive by this place just about everyday and decided to give it a try... I made a reservation for…read moremy nephew and I, which I decided to move up and the restaurant obliged. When you first walk in the restaurant/bar area is dark; I selected patio seating and was glad that I did because it was much brighter on the patio - also, it is heated but I was still a little chilly but not uncomfortable. For a starter, we had the crab dip - this was good; it was cheesy and had good hints of crab meat; our entrees were Sautéed Salmon and Lamb Birria Ramen - the presentation of both dishes was good but the flavor was underwhelming for me (and my nephew) and even though I asked for my salmon to be cooked well, it was slightly undercooked... We did enjoy our drinks - he had a Millionaire Capri Sun and I had You Only Live Twice. If I return, it will only be for appetizers and drinks. The service was really good and the overall atmosphere was good also.

This place has a cute little speakeasy feel and the cocktails are truly legit. The Money Talks is very melon forward and refreshing, and the Butterfly's Conundrum is super smoky but smooth at the same time. The food is decent too, though in my opinion this is definitely more of a drinks only type spot if I'm going out. Worth checking out for sure.

The bartender used ceremonial matcha and whisked it with a chasen in a traditional manner. We tried 4 cocktails between the 2 of us and we loved each one!

The bartender (forgot to ask his name) was also very friendly and fun!

It would be 4-5 stars easy on those merits. The big negative for me is the noise volume inside... on my most recent visit, I ended up putting my noise canceling headphones in to tone down the volume, and it was still kinda loud. Go, enjoy the food, enjoy the beers on tap, tip your waitress, but pick a cool day and sit outside.

Not a snowballs chance in you know where it's even close to one pound. Also you want a sauce to dip your fries in... $1 for two ounces of sauce... Are you kidding me?

Kind, caring, attentive, fun/funny... It's great to be there but the corporate greed is crazy. I hope they can sort it out because it's nutty to treat patrons this way. Also, they need a better system for their loyalty program because I don't always remember to give my phone number (also kinda feel sleezy giving my phone number to a 22 year old girl) #justsayin
