Honestly, I don't know how I wound up at this place. Well, it was a late night rambling around the streets of Center City but with soooooo many other options I wish we would have gone elsewhere. For one, the place was dead. On a Friday night. Two, my drink was terrible. I usually get a Cosmopolitan. It's vodka, lime and cranberry juice. How can you make that taste bad? And it came in a plastic cocktail glass. Uggghhhh! At my age I deserve a bar with "glassware". This was giving frat house. And three, I didn't order food but my friends did. I had walked past the kitchen on my way to the bathroom and it wasn't that anything looked bad per se, but you could see the staff just chillin, very unbothered because nothing was going on but I knew no good food was coming from that kitchen. However, there were pool tables and decent music playing. My girlfriends enjoyed playing some dudes who were very nice. Only redeeming quality. read more

Great place to watch games! Service was good. They only had 2 bartenders but luckily it wasn't packed. Drinks are solid. Vibes are great.

We were trying to find a place to watch the Eagles game and that turned out to be more difficult than we thought. Luckily, we found this place right as a soccer game was ending, so the crowd was changing over. We grabbed a table as someone left. The waitress came over and said we physically have to stand until she clears and cleans the table... I thought it was a very weird policy, but we complied so as not to lose the table. The drinks were good, I had a mule, but the food was gross. We got calamari and chicken tenders and they were seasoned and cooked the same way.. hard to tell which was which! read more

Food is fine, service was great! Honestly, if I wasn't hungry, I don't think I would've been all too keen on the food. The vibes were really good though, and honestly, it would be fun to watch sports here. read more

5/23/25 Ate List: Cheeseburger and fries - 6.5 Popped in middle of the afternoon Friday. Was fairly empty but was starving. Vibe is cool, staff is friendly, could see this place being a cool spot but can see it getting swamped and a bit "college bar like" during something like an Eagles game. Did the Cheeseburger, was not asked how I'd like it done - which didn't offend me, but isn't something I'd put in any "pro column" either. Burger was above fine. Good even, not great but good. Don't know if it was my hunger or low expectations but this is a true 6.5 out of 10 burger. Fries were the same too. Not great but good. read more

Misconduct Tavern - Cheeseburger w/ Fries - Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Food is VERY lame - it all sounds good in theory, but then you get a big plate of disappointment in front of you. The nachos tasted sad, the burger was bleh, and the mozzarella sticks have an excellent cheese pull but the most bland panko coating. The calamari is decent and so are their beef tallow fries. Because of their drinks, it's still a good spot for events like the comedy shows they started doing in their basement! Fun and inexpensive. read more

if I could give zero stars I would: we came on a Saturday night around 9:30/9:45pm. We sat down at a table and went to the bar after a few minutes and asked if we ordered there or needed a server. The bartender glanced at us once and said she'd send over a server...and one never came. we ordered at the bar and waited about 10-15 for mozzarella sticks. I then went up to the same bartender and asked for 3 waters and she shook her head no...I didn't think you could deny water to patrons but sure. My friends are sober and had to sit there without anything the entire time we were there. Also the mozzarella sticks lacked seasoning so the food wasn't even worth the wait. We will not be coming back to this location anytime soon. read more

Misconduct Tavern - mozzarella sticks - Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is a very conveniently located bar to drop in and have a drink when bar hopping. I really did not stay long here just enough time to try and charge my phone and have a margarita. I advance tipped the waitress ten bucks to charge my phone that I gave to her on three percent and she gave it back to me after the drink with battery at one percent wtf. To that I say o well, I still had a great night out and was able to charge my phone for free later in the night. Lesson to be learned you can survive with your phone not charged for at least one to two hours : ) Anyhow, I definitely recommend their margarita's, and they have some pretty great food choices as well if you're looking for a decent lunch in town. My favorite location is the one in Penn Center but if you're near this location have a stop in and try it for yourself. As always people SYOY!!! read more

We came to watch an eagles game and it was put 1 tv. Ok the Phillies playing, but damn split up TVs. Then the man sat down and turned on the fire alarm...smh manager didnt know what to do. Food meh bar food dnt exsp read more

great service and fabulous food! Thakks AJ always a great time! plenty of TVs too! one of our fave local spots on Livust! come on by ! read more

It's apparent that the experience here is all about expectations! I popped in after Christmas Village to grab a drink, snack and watch Villanova before heading back out. It's a Saturday around 4 and we grab a table, easy at this time, bartender switches meaningless NFL game so we can watch hoops. Server brought fried pickles and a plate of fries, some drinks and all was good. We left by 5:30 and a Santa pub crawl was coming through. If you don't like loud and boisterous then this would be a turnoff but we thought it added to holiday revelry! read more

The best sports bar ever! We just love this bar! Delicious food! And the drinks they have plenty of TV screens! To cheer your team on! Come by and experience all it has to offer!! Great service too! Come by and see for yourself! read more

Love this spot. I've been going here since the remodeling. It is really nice in there now and the food and beer list is awesome. Service was great and I love the individual bathrooms. It's in the heart of center city; so a great spot to go before our after a show. We had cheesesteak fries, which were delicious. The mushroom burger was excellent. I think next time I would get the cheesesteak but instead of fries, over the chips. The chips are dynamite. Huge bonus: had one of my all time favorite beers on the beer list when we last visited. Goose Island - Matilda! This place is always in my center city rotation. Check them out! read more

Hit-or-miss bar food. We visited Misconduct Tavern early on a Saturday night. It was busy, but there were tables available. The bar became pretty loud over the course of our visit, and it became increasingly more difficult to hear each other. There are plenty of televisions scattered around the bar that make it a great venue to watch sports. I tried the mozzarella sticks, loaded cheese fries, and the chickpea sliders. Everything was served hot. The mozzarella sticks had a tasty breading but a disappointing bland cheese. One of the sticks was empty, and the accompanying marinara sauce was average. The loaded cheese fries had a great mix of flavors, and I particularly liked the sauteed onions on the fries. The chickpea sliders were bland and could have benefitted from a sauce of some kind. Overall, we had a decent experience, but I wouldn't recommend visiting Misconduct Tavern unless it's your best option. read more

It was fun talking to Maureen at the bar that makes delicious drinks. The food looked delicious, especially the wings. However they no longer have vegan burgers on the menu. I would return to see Maureen and have a drink. read more

I stopped by Misconduct on a Saturday afternoon with friends for drinks and snacks. They were easily able to accommodate us and there seemed to be great seating options for groups of all different sizes. I've come before to watch Sixers games and enjoy their buckets of beer. This visit I decided to try a cocktail and really enjoyed the Pomegranate Martini. It was relatively inexpensive for a cocktail and tasted delicious! The highlight of the food menu here has to be their chicken tenders. They are well breaded and crispy but the chicken inside is moist (sorry if you hate that word, but it is!!!) and tender (as the name implies). If you are stopping by Misconduct for any occasion, make sure that you get an order of the chicken tenders! read more

Misconduct Tavern - Pomegranate Martini - Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Misconduct Tavern is an awesome place to watch a game. We were lucky enough to score seats here for the Super Bowl this past Sunday and despite the fact that the game did not go our way (so perhaps we weren't all that lucky), we had a great time here. There are TVs everywhere here, so even if you're walking to the bathroom (or in my case, on a comically long line for the bathroom), you won't miss a moment. They had the Eagles fight song and the Sixers victory song cued up for all hype/celebratory moments, which was a great and very important touch. Considering how packed it was for the game and how invested the crowd was in drinking, I was seriously impressed with how efficiently the staff worked here. With the exception of some chicken tenders I ordered relatively late in the night (I feel like most people had stopped ordering food by that point, so the timing was probably bad), everything we ordered came out super quickly. They have a ton of spiked seltzers, canned vodka sodas and ciders, so I was set for my long night of imbibing without worrying about getting too drunk (seltzers are hydrating, right?!). They have Stateside, which is one of my favorite local canned cocktail brands. Overall, even though the Eagles lost, Misconduct Tavern was super fun. We made lots of friends, danced to Rihanna, cheered and cried and hugged each other, and felt every emotion under the sun. read more

Pretty good place to stop in for some drinks and watch a Sunday night football game. The menu for food and drinks are available through your phone. Pretty decent selection of local brews which is nice. Pretty much wall to wall TVs so you can watch whatever game you want. I wasn't incredibly hungry so I ordered the fried pickle chips (6). The batter was seasoned really well and not incredibly greasy. The pickles were juicy and crisp. The service was good. I'd certainly consider coming back if I'm in the area. read more

Came for the game and enjoyed quick eats. The loaded fries caught my eye and they delivered! I decided to skip the jalapeños and was happy I did. The seasoning had its own kick that I was satisfied with. There are many TVs to watch sports. The servers and bartenders were working hard as the bar filled up quickly for a game. There are some high tops and regular table tops to accommodate larger groups. If there's a game, be prepared for it to get loud! read more

We needed something to eat after a show and didn't want a fancy meal that would have taken a long time at a proper restaurant. This place is fairly basic, but the service by Francisco was great (we sat at the bar). Beer was cold, and food was quite acceptable and very reasonably priced. read more

Food was a 4 out of five - Chicken Ceasar salad. Lagunitas beer was cold and always good. Service was impeccable! Lauren always had a smile on here face and made everything better than ever. Ambiance ? 4.5 Great - almost perfect read more

Been here a few times during the week. Automatic gratuity added if you get your bill after 8pm. Some of the wait staff is nice, but also have seen one or two that don't come around often and when they do, aren't very friendly or helpful. The cheese fries and regular fries are pretty dope, the sliders are alright, and the burgers look ok. Hard to get around when the restaurant area is full and you're stuck in the corner. Lots of TVs to watch games though, an extra warm fireplace for ambiance. read more

Overall it's consistent, not spectacular but pretty good. Food is standard bar stuff. Lots of drink options and reasonably priced. They have events during the week. Usually crowded after work hours and on the weekends. read more

Love this spot! great ambiance, service is always excellent too. Great selection of drinks especially the drafts. Love their fried avocado appetizer. The burger is huge and really tasty! read more

Place was almost empty on a Monday at 7PM. Hostess said "seat yourself". We did, for 20 minutes. I went to the bar to ask the bartender for help, he was on non-stop phone calls. I even poked my head into the kitchen. I asked where the waitress was, he said "no idea". We left and went to another Rittenhouse pub. read more

Service was terrible and inconsiderate, never checked on our table. Our waitress was Lauren, terrible customer service. Had to chase her down to tab out and then once we got the check couldn't split the check for the correct people. As I'm writing this review she was over my shoulder and yelled at me for writing a review lol Worst customer service I've ever received If you can't do customer service then don't work in customer service Never alright to yell at a customer ! read more

This place was a nice place to come to watch a game as they have multiple TVs on all the walls. It was a bit loud. Food was alright, but the thing to get here are the cheesesteak empanadas!!! I think they tasted better than some of the other cheesesteaks I've had in Philly! The salmon sliders were average. Staff was decently nice- they repeatedly came and asked if we needed anything else towards the end of our time as if they wanted us to leave even though there was no one waiting. Prices weren't bad. read more

Waitress was very nice. All the food was terrible besides the mozz sticks. I would not recommend this place for food.

Family friendly lunch pre show. Great service and great food. Reasonable prices. Salmon sliders, burgers were both hits. Lots of TVs with the games on. read more

How could we not stop at a bar called Misconduct? RJ and I stopped here after dinner across the street. I had a Rose Margarita which was Olmeca Altos Plata, Rose Nectar Syrup, Triple Sec, and Lime Juice. This was one of the best margaritas I have ever had. And I have had a lot of margaritas. It tasted like tequila, flowers, and sunshine. It's as if this drink was made just for me. read more

It's a very cute happy hour spot. I came here because the mac and cheese caught my eye as I walking by. The mac definitely lived up to the hype. It has just enough cheese and spice. They do have different types of Mac and cheese. My date got the Buffalo chicken mac and I got the shrimp Mac. Definitely a spot I will come back too whenever I'm in the area. I probably wouldn't get the dirty martini again but the old fashion was delicious. read more

If you want to cheer for your game, you are not welcome, even if they told you at the very beginning it was NOT a problem. Such a shame to be called a sports bar and then be told you are too loud. They want to be classy and cater to a football crowd, such a shame. Ans I was informed that all other patrons that were there at 1130 waiting for the noon game after 2 hours were being too loud... I guess they were okay with people spending money, but screw you if we have another wave of people come into their establishment. Beer is very expensive and they are not catering to the correct crowd to be called a sports bar on Yelp.. which I hope to modify! More like an uptight management. I was told to keep it down by management and I didn't even swear... that's just BULL! And now I swear! If you cater to adults watching a game, then you need to allow the cheering to go along with the game. Also, if you want to be called stupid by the bartender, then come here. I'm okay with trash talking about sports, but when you get personal, it makes you ignorant. I have not been disrespectful in any way shape or form, but just loud. I do not recommend anyone watching any event here. Perhaps if you want to be posh and not a true fan! I'm so sorry I gave any money to this establishment! The two stars is for their Victory Winter Cheers beer, which is like candy and very good. The lack of stars is due to management.... good job! read more

I've been working around the corner from this nautical watering hole for 11 years. Always my go to date spot, or happy hour catchup with friends. I even brought my whole family down from the northeast to have my graduation dinner here. (Everyone knows how hard it can be to get outsiders into the city to pay to park and pay more to eat-it used to be worth it) I was their biggest fan. Music is usually just the right mix of classic rock and recent hits. Dim lights-love that. THOSE OLD CHICKEN FINGERS! Chef's kiss Had me ordering them every visit as if I was a child. This is my first time returning since covid (recently received my booster and felt up for indoor dining again) It has changed. There's no longer a happy hour-WHAT :/ The vibe has changed drastically. It's dead- 5 PM and I'm one of two people here. I assume because everyone else has already found a new go to HH in the area. Finishing this review by pouring my full price drink out in memory of the old, bomb chicken fingers. The staff still seems friendly which gained them an extra star (THIS STARTED as a 3 star review) I'm butt hurt because there's no happy hour I'll be back if they ever have drink specials Only ONE staff member(including cooks that came out on the floor) wore a mask Definitely taking a rapid test read more

Good experience on weekends, even better on weeknights. Did I really just say that? Ok, I think I'm getting officially old. I've been here numerous times on Friday/Saturday nights, and it was always bumpin'. I definitely had a lot of memorable (and not so memorable) moments here. But recently, I stopped in for a late night dinner on a weeknight, and boy, I honestly think that was way more enjoyable. There were only a few other people in the place, so it was relatively quiet, and in a way, serene. I was there with a couple of friends and we grabbed some apps, side dishes, and a few drinks. In my older, wiser (HAH!) years, this was just what I wanted. No loud music, no live bands, no crazy specials like "nickel shot night".. just a nice atmosphere and good company. Our server, Alison, was an absolute doll. Attentive, personable.. and even though we were the last table and the only thing keeping her from leaving that night, able to remain in good spirits. She never made us feel hurried or as if we were an inconvenience. There's a pretty basic menu which consists mostly of sandwiches, sliders, and your assortment of traditional starters. I'm sure I'll be back for a late evening snack. And if I'm feeling really frisky and want to turn back the clock, I might even come back on a Friday night :D read more

First time trying this Tavern on Sixers game night! Great vibe and bartenders were very nice and attentive. We tried the salmon burger sliders with fries it was really good! The 4 stars are for the horrible Moscow mules it was made by more than 1 bartender and no one knew what they were doing. Would definitely come back just train bartenders on how to make a classic drink! read more

Is part of the after-dinner drinks rotation while working in Center City. A lively location with plenty of bar space and tables to grab a drink and a bite. Your usual selection of beers and spirits. The food is average, nothing you'd necessarily go out of your way to order, but good enough when catching a game or trying to put something in your stomach while enjoying Happy Hour. The service is always attentive and friendly and the prices are reasonable for the location. read more

Drinks: Decent bar, good drinks. I've been told their bloody mary's are really good. I like their Dark and Stormy. It doesn't get too crowded which is nice, unless there's a game on. Foodwise: There's a large mac and cheese selection where you can build your own. AWESOME. Avocado fries are good. read more
