    First of All, THIS Amazing place is Ridiculously Clean and tidy! No worries about being Grossed out! The charm and atmosphere is Very inviting and Lots to Check out. It has many cool Art pieces and some funny things to Appreciate. I knew I wanted to take my husband here even Before we were Married! Such a Cool and relaxing Vibe, we drove into Philly which was close to 35 minutes each direction. All of the Staff were friendly and welcoming. We tried a few appetizers to split since it has been closer to a decade since I've been here. The homemade pierogies, with Caramelized onions ^** chef's Kiss . Omg Spectacular !! We got an order of each of the pound of wings! One pound was Buffalo ((with a Very Nice Kick)) And the Ranch has fresh Dill and carrots and celery were a nice addition. The other pound of wings were their Sweet Thai Chili with chopped Peanuts ontop! No cilantro and both sets of wings, Well done! When I say....... Holy Smokes! I mean, both of these wings knocked our socks Off. delicious!! Compliments to the Chef!! ‍ we have already started planning our Return visit !! We also ordered a side of the Mac n cheese and that just set everything Off. mouthwatering and so flavorful! I was very sad when my ceramic crock was Empty. It has crunchy breadcrumbs ontop and a light garlic taste that's Not overpowering at all. Everything we ate complimented one another. We cannot wait to return and enjoy a full dinner! Today, was just some appetizers and some drinks! Our server was Johnny who was very down to earth and super nice. He encouraged us to walk around and check out the back room and back bar and said they also have a stage! We will definitely be Back Soon! Cannot wait to try more gems from their menu and enjoy our time together! See yall soon!

    Food: Alright. My sandwich was good & flavorful. rather small. fries were yummy. Steak was good but not worth recommending. The drinks were well made. Service: Our service was great Ambiance: A bit of an odd vibe but cozy nonetheless

    It's been awhile since I last returned for a dinner and catch up with friends at north 3rd. Once hard to find parking, now it's pretty easy on a Sunday evening. The neighborhoods have changed! The menu feels a lot smaller but they still offer similar items I ordered before and greatly enjoyed such as the clams or mussels, calamari and steak frites. Atmosphere is still dark, barely able to see your food. The services are excellent and attentive as usual. Highly recommended if you haven't tried yet!

    Very quaint neighborhood corner restaurant. I've been back a number of times since moving to the neighborhood and I always have a great time. Food/Drinks: The menu is not extremely long and they rotate it with different specials menu on the daily. This restaurant is definitely great for brunch and dinner. I particularly think their brunch is better. Full bar (x2) and can make pretty much any drink you want. Their espresso martini is quite good. Neither expensive or cheap but right in the middle. Environment/Ambience: The interior is larger than it seems with a larger dining area with the bar and a smaller side room with more tables and another bar. The vibe is rustic and moody, especially in the side room, during night but quite festive during the day. They have approximately 4-6 outdoor tables that are slightly covered and heated. Staff is nice and knowledgeable of the menu. Parking can be potentially tough but it's a great spot to walk to if you live nearby! You can also reserve a table! Rating: 7/10 Recommendations: Wings, Espresso Martini

    Guava Mimosa

    I came here for brunch with my mom, brothers and sister for Mother's Day. The hostess was very kind and helped us with my mom who has trouble walking. Another staff person came over to help us when we were getting into the dining room. Our server, Alyssa, was also very good. She was so pleasant! The food was really good. My sister and I had the apple pie French toast. It was very tasty with a little crunch from the crushed cornflakes. It was dipped in. It had apples, nuts, and whipped cream. I could've used a few more apples because I really like the fruit other than that, it was fantastic. My mom had the breakfast burrito. It was huge and she really enjoyed it. My brother had the apple arugula salad with chicken. That was also very good. I love that they had a couple of choices for mimosas. You could choose from guava, orange juice, peach or mango juice. The guava mimosa was delicious. Some outside seating is available. We sat inside. The decor is unique. The ceiling had bird and butterfly fabric sculptures that were really cool. It had a very relaxed vibe. two gender, neutral bathrooms.

    Eggplant Fries

    Great food and drinks! Happy hour 4-6 with great food specials, and the outdoor seating is awesome when the weather is nice! The Mac and cheese (side) is bomb - usually big enough to split between 2-3 or keep all to yourself! I am not usually a fan of buffalo, but the Buffalo tempura cauliflower is a must. We were a little disappointed with the pierogis and the eggplant fries - both were pretty bland and could've used a little more salt or seasoning. Also a big fan of the fried chicken sandwich!

    Hibiscus mezcalrita - recommend
    Donyiel C.

    Visited my sister last weekend in Philly. We were looking for brunch options, and based on my Yelp search, this place popped up with great reviews. I made a reservation online, but I'm sure a walk-in would have been fine as well! The hostess was nice. We got seated in the back. Our server, Alyssa, was great. I wanted more lunch food versus breakfast. I got the honey dip chicken sandwich with a generous helping of fries, and it was really good. My sister had the omlette and she enjoyed it. I tried the hibiscus mezcalrita, and it was pretty good. There's a full bar! I like that they change their menu daily! When visiting Philly, I'll come back : )

    Buffalo Wings
    Cameron B.

    I had a very OK experience here. The wings were the highlight of the meal. We got both the Thai Chili Wings (7/10) and the Buffalo Wings (7/10) and then it was a bit downhill from there. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles and the chicken as you can see from the pics was mostly breading and on top of that it was burnt to a crisp. The waffle itself was good (7/10) but I was disappointed that I couldn't enjoy them together. Then there was the biscuit debacle. I ordered a side biscuit that never came and when the waiter found out she mentioned she would take it off the bill. Then it finally came and it was burned and borderline inedible. That really was the cherry on top for the meal. I'm not sure that I would be back based on my experience here.

    Honey Dipped Fried Chicken

    This place is officially a staple and a restaurant I honestly dine at once a week, every week. Food, service, drinks, and ambiance are always consistent and 10/10! I've ordered some new dishes since my last review, including: Traditional French Onion Gratin, Autumn Squash Soup, Old School Salad, Chicken cutlet Parmesan sandwich, Moroccan spiced lamb burger, Seared Jail Island Salmon and Roasted Free Range Chicken Breast. The chicken cutlet parm sandwich and salmon salad were very memorable. You honestly cannot go wrong with any of their food.

    I have been to North Third for dinner before (amazing), but this was my first time for brunch - it was equally amazing, maybe even better! I had Bee's Breakfast Croissant. It was amazing. Sometimes a croissant can't hold a sandwich well but this one did. I also didn't realize this came with the gravy fries, which typically at other places I am not a fan of, but here they were delicious. My wife got something else that I can't remember but here's a pic. She liked it too I'm pretty sure since this is on the list for us to return to! The service was very fast and attentive. Never an empty glass waiting for a fresh beer. The ambiance is also one of my favorites. It's the homey bar you've been looking for. As Beyoncé put it - this is "dive bar we always thought was nice", or something of the likes. Love this place. Also this was the first place I have ever had clam chowder that wasn't in a can but that was a couple years ago. Very good stuff.

As a Northern Liberties resident, I've visited Fringe Bar several times and have generally enjoyed the experience before my recent experience with the manager. Unfortunately, my visit on June 13 around 4:30 PM completely changed my opinion of this establishment. My friend and I were seated and waited nearly 20 minutes before our food order was taken. Our server explained that their ordering system had gone down.... We were understanding and patient but to be honest it felt like she forgot. About 10 minutes later, we finally received our drinks, and our server shared that management had continued assigning her additional tables despite the issues, making it difficult for her to keep up. We sympathized with her and gave the staff plenty of grace. After waiting another 30 minutes, nearly an hour total since arriving, we still had not received our food. What made the situation even more frustrating was watching another table that arrived roughly 30 minutes after us receive their meals before we did. At that point, I approached Henry to ask about our order. I explained that we had been waiting for nearly an hour and that guests who arrived significantly later had already been served and they needed to hurry up with our food because we were hungry. Before I could even finish speaking, Henry interrupted me, stated that he would comp the food, and told us to leave. All I wanted was an explanation and asked that our order be prioritized after such a long wait. Instead of attempting to resolve the issue, Henry immediately escalated the situation and effectively removed us from the restaurant. The interaction felt dismissive, unprofessional, and completely lacking in customer service. Even another manager appeared surprised by how quickly our order was canceled and how the situation was handled. The entire experience left me feeling unwelcome and disrespected. Mistakes happen. Delays happen. What determines whether customers return is how management responds. Unfortunately, Henry's arrogance, poor communication, and inability to handle a reasonable customer concern ensured that I will never return. The attached photos include timestamps documenting our visit and the lengthy wait and a photo of Henry so you can avoid him. DO NOT COME.

We were coming from the festivsl and hadn't eaten much all day, so we decided to start with ordering food. We waited at three different bars before finally ordering, only to be told they were out of the item I paid for. When I tried to reorder, the bartender completely forgot I had already paid and never put in my replacement order. After finally realizing that she hadn't put my order in after 45 minutes, I asked for a refund. Her way of making it right was giving me a dry, unsauced 6-piece wing (which wasn't what I ordered - my replacement order was a 12pc wing tossed in "cav's sauce" which was around the same price as the egg rolls I ordered and paid for). I asked for a refund AGAIN and she said she'd have to get a manager. The bartender avoided me and the barback ignored me. At this point I was livid. After never getting my proper order, watching people around me eat and leave, being ignored, and NEVER speaking to a manager, I raised my voice out of frustration. Instead of her trying to rectify the situation, she calls security on me. I was escorted out by security without a chance to explain. Even after showing proof that I only ate part of the food because I was STARVING and explaining the situation calmly, the manager refused a refund. Unprofessional and disrespectful from start to finish.

We sat near…read morethe piano, but after I spoke briefly with another man about living in California, the man in the green jacket became possessive, aggressively claiming I was "his girl." When I attempted to gather my things and leave due to his uncomfortable behavior, he physically blocked me with his arm to prevent me from walking away, forcing me to push his arm aside and tell him explicitly not to touch me. After being persuaded by the other women to stay in a different area, he followed us, continuing to make inappropriate comments. It escalated to the point where six people, three men, two other women, and myself were actively telling him to leave us alone. When security finally stepped in as things became heated, staff merely hung around rather than removing the individual causing the disturbance. We moved to the Red Room to get away from him, but he followed us and sat next to me again. An employee or security staff member sat between us, but while sitting there, the man in the jacket continued making disgusting remarks about me directly to your employee. When I defended myself and snapped at him, your staff told me to stop, effectively policing the victim rather than addressing the aggressor. Despite us repeatedly asking why he was allowed to stay, your staff continued to serve him alcohol. Instead of removing the person causing the harassment, your staff escorted our group into the Vault Room during a private wedding party event, placing us out of sight rather than removing the threat from the main venue. When we eventually moved back to the bar, he approached me yet again. He boasted that it was "his bar" and that he "knew the owner," implying he was immune to being removed. He then attempted to shake my hand, claiming "no disrespect," after an entire evening of harassment. It was a slow night with minimal crowds. If your venue prioritizes safety, I encourage you to review the camera footage from that Sunday night or speak directly to the staff who worked that shift. Escorting uncomfortable women to separate rooms and continuing to serve an aggressive, physically boundary-crossing man simply because he claims a connection to ownership is not protecting women. It is enabling unacceptable behavior.
