ADORABLE spot, with so many things going on. I'm not sure how much writer's block it'll cure, but…read morethe drinks are surely delicious and the bartenders very knowledgeable. The music is loud enough that you don't hear what someone at the next table over is saying, but not so loud that you can't hear your date talking. For me, the drinks on the menu are all a bit too sweet, so if you ask the bartenders to make you any kind of classic cocktail, they've got you covered. My martini with a twist was perfectly made, and the glass chilled down with ice and water before a drop of booze hit my glass. Our bartender was a master of his craft. We had a blast sitting around, having drinks, and chatting back and forth. Give this place a shot, it's adorable.

I came here with some friends after dinner one night because we are total book nerds and thought…read morethis was a fun way to cap off an evening. We had a great time; I was disappointed the books are wallpaper and not real books but we still enjoyed the overall vibe. In our experience, we waited downstairs to be seated upstairs. We sat overlooking the man floor, the bar is up there so that made it easy. It's a cute spot; I'd visit again.

Great cocktails, great food, delicious bread…read more We stopped in for a light meal and drinks and Enswell delivered. Staff were super cool. The food was excellent. It tasted great and looked gorgeous. I loved my crab cake on a potato (their name was more elegant). The bread was sooo good. We asked about it and learned they bake it in-house. Cocktails were well-crafted. I've stopped in for coffee, for drinks, for a snack... this place gets it right every time.

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!

The staff is friendly and moves quickly. I love that you can order your drink up at the bar or order right from the QR code on your table. The prices are average and they have lots of fun seasonal drinks. The food is surprisingly good and also reasonably priced. I look forward to this pop up every year!!!

It's tucked away and you'd almost miss it. The setup is really cute...plenty of seating and tea lights and greenery. They have some music playing just at conversational level so it's not disruptive but noticeable. You can order drinks and snacks from the bar or your table QR code. I ordered the Passion Punch and Chimichurri Chicken Skewers. The pinch was pre-made; I would've liked an individual serving. But it was sweet and tangy. I would've liked a little more bourbon and less sweet but it was tasty! The skewers were good with the sauce. Dogs are welcomed and they provide water bowls. I would come back!

Their menu has a few light bites to snack on but the main focus is the cocktails. Definitely a pricier, fancy spot for a nice occasion or just a memorable cocktail. Hanoi ski club is quite interesting - mix of gin, pandan, green chartreuse, vermouth, and cacao. The combo of flavor from floral, herbal, and earthy sweet was great. This works really well and if you like all those flavors individually, this one is great. Also tried the Chibiusa which was a much more straightforward sweeter drink. Usually very busy due to limited seats, but worth trying to get a spot if there is room available to try their cocktail menu. Thanks
