Went to the Wells Fargo Center Sunday night for a concert and the only place that was open for an early dinner was this joint. The name set the expectation... and it was still disappointing. My friends and I decided to order and share a bunch of apps - chili cheese tots, chips and poblano queso, pork tacitos, and we each got avocado, tomato and cojita salads. Everything came out cold or room temp. The chili tots looked like someone smeared manwich right on the top and the queso had started to harden it was so cool. Our waitress was friendly, but the place was empty and she only checked in a couple of times, making drink refills slow and closing out the check even slower. If it were Friday night and I were a pitcher or two of PBR deep, it wouldn't have bothered me. But I was hungry and just not in the mood for what I'm sure is a great atmosphere for college students and the perpetually single. read more

Two friends and I came here around 5pm before a flyers game at 7. We waited about 45 minutes for a table and stayed at the bar while we waited. The bartenders were attentive and friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed the Nashville chicken sandwich I ordered! The brioche bun was delicious. The sauce it came with was great too and I dipped all my fries in it. I wish it had a little more heat to it, but that's just minor. A few people rode the centerpiece of the bar.. the bull. It does make for good entertainment during dinner and drinks. You have multiple choices as to places to eat when at Xfinity, and PBR is a solid choice. read more

PBR Philly - Nashville chicken - Tex-Mex Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My review is only on the atmosphere because it was after 12 on a Saturday when I wondered in (no food ordered). First, PBR defines where you bring a bachelor/ette party. There are half naked female dancers, booths for large groups and in the center is a mechanical bull. It's perfect for a fun night without your significant other or if you're single. There wasn't much of a dance floor but since its in Xfinity it's easy to go somewhere else if you decide this is not where you want to be. The worst parts of PBR is that it gets super crowded and is the main reason I didn't even bother trying to grab a drink. read more

PBR Philly - This is a Saturday night. In this image, entertainers dance in chaps and underware - Tex-Mex Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This was the place I was able to eat at on the night before the grand opening. Basically, they were the place that had a table available. Hey, it was crowded and some of the choices had an hour wait. This place was busy too, but happened to have a table. So they get to be my first meal at Xfinity Live. Overall atmosphere, OK it's a lot of fun. It's loud. There's country music and hard rock everywhere, and watching people fall off the mechanical bull provides lots of entertainment. It's a whole load of cheesy, but I was into it. But the food, that's what I came for. Here goes... Chips and salsa were basic. Not salty at all. I was OK with that. Decent salsa with a bit of a kick. Good start if not totally exciting. The wife got a chicken salad which was served in a tortilla shell. It was good pulled chicken which she said was quite juicy. Not too bad overall. The shell was a bit greasy to bite into which detracted slightly. I went for the half BBQ chicken with rice and beans. The plus is that the chicken was really juicy and fresh. It came with dry rub, and if you wanted BBQ sauce that was on the table. I felt that the taste of the chicken needed the sauce to be really good. If the chickjen needs the sauce, it's not great BBQ in my mind. But the sauce saved it. It was tasty sauce. I give them that. The rice and beans needed work though. Not enough flavor in those. It's what I expected. Corporate restaurants like this just don't always put out great food. But it was good enough, and it was fun. It's worth another try to see how the fajitas, burritos and tacos are. They get 3 stars until they can prove that they deserve more. read more

After speaking with both the assistant director, Erin, and the director, Justin, nothing was rectified. Both argued and claimed their employees had a different story and insinuated it was my fault for feeling unsafe as "they can't control how I feel". Handled extremely unprofessionally. When I suggested pulling video footage, they claimed their establishment doesn't have cameras. What kind of multi million dollar corporation doesn't have cameras? UNSAFE. read more

PBR... expensive, ridiculously over-crowded, and unfriendly service. The table-top dancing is absolutely ridiculous. It makes me feel incredibly uncomfortable. They seriously need to tame it down. It's nearly impossible to get a drink here because it's just so crowded. Good for them, I guess. But it leads to a lot of unhappy customers. This place is just really overrated. It's good for bachelor parties. But if you're just having a drink or two... you'll probably feel out of place. Just not worth the hype.. read more

PBR is located within Xfinity Live. We dropped in on a Friday night for dinner and drinks before a Phillies game. It wasn't very crowded and looked like a cool country style place complete with mechanical bull, so I thought I would give it a go. All of the tables are pub/bar height with the most uncomfortable metal stools I have ever sat my cute little behind on. It was a struggle to stay securely on the stool given the fact that I am not very tall and my feet barely reached the bar where you can place your feet. We had a great waiter who was friendly and attentive, except for the fact that we had no place settings when the appetizer arrived and after a few minutes I had to climb down from the uncomfortable stool to seek him out. He did redeem himself and provided great service thereafter. We started off with loaded tater tots. It was a huge portion served on a hot skillet and the tots covered in cheese sauce, sour cream, chopped tomatoes and green onions. While not gourmet by any stretch, they hit the comfort food spot and brought back memories of my youth. I had the Southwest Grilled Chicken salad. Southwest is a misnomer, as there was nothing Southwest about this salad. It had grilled chicken, blue cheese, craisins, cucumber and balsamic dressing over a bed of spring mix. The salad was okay and the chicken had a nice grilled flavor but it was extremely tough and hard to chew. [Good thing I was already full from the tater tots ;)]. My hubby had the grilled Mahi sandwich with fries. The Mahi was tender and very tasty. the fries were average. I ordered a drink that came in a lighted plastic pilsner. The drink was tasty, but at $16 and $13 for a refill, it seemed kinda pricey for the venue. I could do without the fancy glass and would have preferred to save a few bucks. Overall, it served the purpose, but I probably wouldn't go back, nor would I recommend it to a friend. It seems like the type of place that you go to if you are looking to get drunk and have a wild bull-riding good time! read more

I feel that the women dancing in thongs is offensive in a bar. This should be listed as a gentleman's club. There were actually more dancers than at most gentleman's clubs. Beer glass was dirty. Stopped in after Maniscalco concert/comedy event. Not what I was expecting with a pregnant wife..... just looking for the closest place to the street to wait for Uber..... Ass-less chaps and thongs looks great - just lets let people know what to expect. read more

This place was great! Went there after tailgating for the Phillies game last weekend and had a blast. The whole Xfinity Live center was a fun time. Band's were playing outside and inside. The mechanical bull in the center of the bar holds most people's attention for the majority of the night. Not for the faint of heart, you will be tossed off quickly. Oddly, it seems girls are much better bull riders... ever guy that tried ride solo was immediately tossed by the 'bull'. All in all, one of the better times I've had hanging out at a bar with friends. Can't comment on the food, bartenders were quick and helpful. If ever in the south Philly area and its game day, swing into the PBR Bar. read more

Absolutely love the outdoor bar scene here, lots of seats and great service, plus an awesome view of the big screen. So great for nighttime philly sports! Plus the outdoor bar has frozen piña coladas and strawberry daiquiris, YUM! And the summer shandy is in season too which I love. Great place to relax and watch sports! read more

PBR Philly - GO PHILLIES! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Absolutely terrific cuisine! This is a hidden gem in South Philly! Plus they have 80s B Movie trailers on the TV.

This was my first time here inside Xfinity Live! before I went to the Phillies game (Phillies lost to the Reds 9-4 on 5/15/16). The service was good. They allowed me to charge up my phone. I came here with my friend that lives in Southwest Philly. The waitress that we had, she was really nice to us and she was really pretty. The other waitresses were also pretty. I had asked her about the necklace she had on, it was the number 12. She said the number 12 was when she played softball and that her mom is a jeweler. Not bad at all for wearing that. read more

I was actually pretty pumped to check out PBR Bar due to my recent infatuation with all things country. And when I heard that 92.5 broadcasts at PBR on Friday evenings, I was even more excited. Throw in a mechanical bull and some pretty young things dancing around in chaps and you could say my interest level was at a ten. Our group walked in and sidled up to the bar for some refreshments. The bartenders were quick and friendly throughout the night. No complaints there. My main beef is that only one in every five songs or so was a country tune, while everything else they played was really clubby or top 40. The DJ took requests which he promptly ignored. Just say you don't take requests and I'll keep it moving! I did not notice anything indicating that 92.5 was there that night, either, even though PBR's website has it on the events calendar. The bull riding provided loads of entertainment, though I didn't partake myself. I'd consider returning if I happened to be at Xfinity before/after a game, but I definitely won't go out of my way since it didn't live up to the expectations of a self-proclaimed country bar. read more

PBR is highly entertaining, and provides a divergent form of fun that I have yet to see elsewhere in Philadelphia - a mechanical bull! I had a blast here watching the games with a big group. The service is attentive for being jam packed on a game night, and watching drunk people get tossed around the bull pit, which is the center spectacle, does not fail to disappoint. I don't know if it is because the place is still new or what, but the staff seems to really pride themselves on customers enjoying their experience here. We ordered a few appetizers, which were nothing memorable, but who cares..this place is truly a bar at heart, although a full menu is offered. Get a couple beers and some nachos and you'll be a happy camper. I'll be back! read more

PBR Bar and Grill is the most crowded of the bars at Xfinity Live which in my mind makes it the last desirable to spend time in. The music is a strange mix of top 40 pop and top 40 country. There is a mechanical bull and it can be lots of fun to watch. read more

WOW... I have been coming here for the last 3 years before and after the "Wing Bowl". If you do not enjoy yourself in this place, there is no hope for you. It is not meant to be a comfy place, It is a beer drinking/girl dancing/bull riding/loud music honkey tonk bar... end of story. I think they serve food, not sure. If is a very entertaining place, sit back and laugh at the people who try to ride the bull as a petite PBR girl controls your fate. She lets you get comfortable and maybe a little cocky, but a flip of her wrist and your taking a dirt nap ! ! ! ! Or watch the girls dancing to your favorite song, in a tasteful way. Music keeps the mood high and everybody is singing. Will be back next year for sure. read more

Absolutely horrible service from disgruntled workers. Bring your own rag they refuse to wipe down any of the tables before they see you and slap their menu down on other peoples garbage. read more

Okay, I'll admit it: I'm a complete beer snob. I would rather pour Miller/Coors/Bud down the drain than take a big gulp of it. So, how did I end up here? Well, a friend of mine won a happy hour on a Saturday night a couple of weeks ago. From what we understood, the happy hour was for all drafts, but no. The only beers included in the happy hour were Miller Lite and Bud Lite. NO WAY IN HELL that I would pay anyone to make me drink that horrible stuff that they mislabel as beer. What I ended up having to do all night is make trips over to the Victory Beer Hall to get a pint and then walk back over to the PBR Bar. The atmosphere was alright in there. It was very crowded and very hot! The bull riding is very entertaining if you can actually catch a glimpse of it. My 5'3 self had to stand up on a bench to even see. The scantily clad PBR ladies dancing on the tables around the bull-riding ring didn't help either. Plus, around those ladies were hoards of men staring up at them like they were at a strip club. The music was pretty good. The DJ definitely threw a couple songs in for the ladies, like Nsync and BSB. But, he also threw some songs in where people just kinda stopped dancing altogether. All in all, this place is probably not made out for me and more aimed towards males, specifically in the college-aged range. read more

Fun bar in the Xfinnity complex. The bartender helped raise the star value with a great fun personality and helping to start our night off on the right foot. The patio was great especially with the Bstreet Band rocking along. Watching the bartenders and patrons riding the bull was also amusing. read more

I am pretty sure that I am not their target market nevertheless I am a paying customer and I kind of felt disengaged. The place is called PBR which is an acronym for Professional Bull Riding. Apparently there is usually a mechanical bull in the center but I went on a night to cheer on a friend who was Jello wrestling so instead of the bull there was a pool full of red liquid that was supposed to be jello but never firmed up. When I got there, it was a little earlier than the festivities and I snagged an awesome booth seat, right by the ring. There were no servers so each time I wanted a drink I had to go back to the bar. I honestly didn't mind this arrangement because the one spot of light was the bar tender, Foluke. What a sweet personality. anyway... I was sitting at my booth spot, waiting for my friends to arrive when a girl came over to me and had to explain to me that the seat I was sitting in was fine for me to be in now but unless I and my party were going to spend a minimum of $200 I was not welcome to stay there once the festivities began. We were going to be a party of 3 and I felt pretty confident that none of us wanted to spent $70 each so I relinquished my seat and sat at the bar again. The place filled up and by the time the wrestling began it was impossible to see from the bar to the Jello ring so we relocated to the floor. I'll pass another compliment. The PBR dancers are a bunch of attractive, scantily clad, women wearing chaps who will periodically jump up on available surfaces and begin dancing. They were lots of fun to watch. Unfortunately they also obscured our vision of the match. I was there to watch my friend wrestle and since I was kicked out of the VIP area and relegated to the floor a bunch of dancers and rowdy VIPs completely ruined my experience. Throw in the amateurish DJ/MC and I was basically bored for several hours as I waited for my friend. I highly doubt I'd return to this place even though I can see how it might be appealing to someone else. read more

I've been to this place twice now and honestly the food is nothing to rave about. It's Tex-Mex style cuisine and it's just plain boring. They also have ribs but they are just your basic ribs drenched in a decent BBQ sauce that are very fatty. I've tried the burrito too and it was bland and boring as well. There really isn't much flavor or spice to much of the menu items here that I have tried. There is a half BBQ chicken and a whole turkey leg also on the menu that I haven't tried yet and I think if I do go again may give one a go to see if anything is worth it at this place. The set up of the place having very few indoor seats is almost saying to you when you walk in that they don't really want you to eat there. The mechanical bull in the middle takes up most of the space and provides some pretty good entertainment as the evening goes on and people become more intoxicated. As far as the bars go they have two full bars that are pretty large and you can order food at the bar too. You can also eat outside which looks like it has more seating than the inside. It was raining when I was there so I waited to eat inside which took about 40 minutes. If you expect to eat before a game then you need to get to the game very early as all of the places in Xfinity Live fill up quickly. Overall my experience here was good. When I walked in the security guard at the door helped me immediately get my name on the waiting list. The hostesses also came over to me twice to update me on my wait rather than the usual of me having to ask. Once the table opened up the Hostess sat us and then cleaned the table herself. Our waiter even with the place completely packed was very attentive and came over four or five times in the short amount of time we ate there. This kind of makes you like the place even though the food is not that great. I would stop in if you are going to a game or a concert but keep in mind about the food it's not that great but there is a great selection of beer and free entertainment. read more

I've never eaten here so this review has nothing to do with food, only drinks and ambiance. This place is consistently the most crowded of the bars at the Xfinity Live complex mostly because of the mechanical bull which provides some fun free entertainment. The service isn't bad considering the crowds and the patience of the clientele is likely extended slightly because of the bull and the sexy uniforms of the servers. Overall it's not a bad place. Definitely a party scene, so if you are looking to have a conversation or a quiet drink don't come here, but then again none of the places at Xfinity are great for that. Drink prices are high as with everything in the complex. read more

Drunk people falling off an electric bull. Pick me, pick me! No, not to ride the bull. That's cray cray. To go with you, drink beers, and watch other fools fall off of, I mean ride, the bull. PBR is part of The XFinity Live Center which is smack in the middle of all the stadiums. Great for before, after, or instead of a game. As I have seen at every place that has electric bulls, guys can expect a harder run and faster exit. They slow the bull down for the women, but not to be nice. Because they are dirty and want to watch you, know guys want to watch, and know the beers will flow heavier if the guys are watching you. If this is not enough, the have hired guns, aka not as bad as strippers just because they don't take their tiny pieces of clothes off. Yeah, were talking bouncing watermelons spilling out and flesh hanging out the rear. PBR is fun, but it's fun in a dirty kind of way. read more

This place is probably my least favorite within the Xfinity live complex. I sat down for dinner and drinks before a Flyers game a few weeks back and wasn't impressed. After getting carded for the fourth time, I ordered a draft beer from the limited selections and it came out in a plastic solo cup, classy. I had the nachos and the quesadillas which were both below average even for bar food. The cheese on the nachos had an odd consistency and the quesadilla didn't have much flavor although the giant guacamole dipping side was nice. All around the consensus at our table for the food was meh, can't drink on an empty stomach though We did have a front and center seat for the mechanical bull which provided some entertainment. Despite being only a couple weeks old the bull looks like it has already been through a war and is ready to retire. Next time, right to the Beer Hall. read more

Love this spot! My boyfriend and I always come here when we want to have fun. Great entertainment and food.

I'll admit.... I LOVED the mechanical bull and the girls dancing around the circle bar area. People get really into it and it's a blast to have a show going on while you're hanging out, dancing, and enjoying the music. That being said, the music is... well... what exactly are they going for?? It goes from country to random pop to current viral music without any real good transition ever. If you love dancing, be prepared to stop at the end of a song mid-step to say "uh, how do I switch to dancing to *that* now??" It's a bizarre mix. And the girls dancing? Some really love what they're doing and get into it. Others, look bored out of their minds! Even if you're only there to check out their bodies, the lack of enthusiasm can be distracting. I can't vouch for the food because I haven't tried any, but for entertainment value, it's fun when the place is packed and there's plenty of room to fit a lot of people in the place and still have room to move. read more

Stopped by to grab a drink before a Sixers game and Our bartender Vince made the whole experience! Very social and outgoing! Kept us entertained the whole time!! Thanks Vince we'll be back! read more

PBR Philly - Tex-Mex Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I didn't expect the four seasons quality of food but the crap we got tonight I wouldn't even feed my dog. It was literally mind blowing level bad. We kept joking you'd have to make a literal effort to ruin all the food that badly. Chili Tots: Came out ice cold, mushy, and just like 6 strands of room temp cheese mixed into cold chili. 4 people at the table, no one would eat more than 1. Chicken Jalapeño Avocado Sandwich: No jalapeño. No avocado. No arugula. Came out cold. My friend took 3 bites and said she'd rather just starve through the concert we were going than take another bite. Junior Burger: ordered medium. Burnt and so over cooked I had trouble chewing it. Came on a bun 2x the size of the burger. No burger sauce as promised from description. Did manage to throw a single pickle on it in which isn't in the description. Soggy cold fries on the side - also inedible. Chicken Fingers: Partially raw. Inedible. Cheesesteak Egg Rolls: Room temp, soggy, 0/4 would eat more than 1 bite. I am pretty sure a 5 year old could make a better plate of food than whatever it was you served us tonight and then charged us for. read more

I go to mexican places all the time with my girlfriend and we decided to check this place out. Its definitely more of a bar then a restaurant but everyone likes to drink. :) We grabbed a table and had a server and ate the chicken nachos. The nachos were a solid 7/10 but the service was FANTASTIC. The server was aware of the taps and liquors as well as knew what they were out of. He went above the bar for us by giving us the paper to ride the bull and bought me a beer cause we were his "favorite table". Definitely a positive experience, loved the atmosphere and will be going back soon. GO FLYERS! read more

I'm not a complainer and generally like everything (especially food) but PBR was so bad, I feel I have to add my first "meh" review. Three fish tacos consisted of nasty fish, a lil shredded white lettuce and a couple cubes of tomato. That's it! No flavor whatsoever -- had to ask for hot sauce, of course. Cup of coleslaw on the side was only half-full, and that's all I got for $9. Such a disappointment. Didn't expect it to be great, was going to Wells Fargo and needed to eat something, but thought it would at least be decent. Would have been better off eating fries for dinner. Only bumped up to 2 stars because I liked the waitress. read more

Was incredibly disappointed by this "country" bar. There was very little country music playing and the DJ was playing all modern R&B. Don't come here, it's false advertising. Whatever DJ was working on 9/2/17 was terrible. #fakecountrybar read more

If I can give this place 0 stars I would. This post is a little late but I must share the horrible experience my family and I had while attempting to find something to eat before the Shania Twain show in July. We arrived and wasn't greeted by the flock of people just standing at the podium. After a little wait we were escorted outside and given hi top chairs. We asked a women with purple hair if we can have a lower table that we saw unreserved due to my cousin being handicapped. We were told by same purple hair girl since we were a part of just a party of four we are unable to sit at the table. We sat and waited to get our drink orders in for a few minutes. When our waitress finally arrived many minutes later we put an order for drinks by that time we primarily wanted waters because time was ticking. The purple lady returned with four people and placed them in the unreserved spot we asked to sit in due to my cousins condition and the hi top tables being a discomfort to her and two other guests I was attending with. The drinks never came and our waitress disappeared. This was by far the worst restaurant experience ever! So we got up and walked out! I would advise you to eat off this campus because they wont treat you right at all and the price or location isn't worth the hassle they will put you through! read more

Good place to stop after a game. Gets crowed fast so be prepared.

So my review is based kinda on my taste. This bar is pretty wild that circles around a mechanical bull and the workers wear assless chaps. The drinks are fair pricing but it did seem to get a bit crowded and rowdy where a few people bumped into me and spilled my drink. This would be more my style bar maybe 5 years ago when I was in college and getting crazy. Cool place nonetheless, just not my cup of tea read more

I was there for the Grand Opening. Good live entertainment. PBR fetchers the mechanical bull, buckle bunnies, music, shot girls, and bottle service. But that is the night life and not during dinner service. The food wasn't that great. It tasted like corporate food; not much thought put in to it. The most disturbing part of the entire night when I found out that management was holding back the employees tip out. My wife and I was greeted by a blonde manager. She came off very rude and over all unprofessional. I asked her a few questions about the facility and when she didn't answer any of my questions, rolled her eyes and gave off a cheesy smile I felt like she was setting the bar for the atmosphere. I believe her name was Rachel Greeny, but don't quote me on that. Will I return to PBR? Maybe for a beer. Will I return to Xfinity live, yes good place for entertainment. read more

It's pretty hard to come here and not have a good time. The main attraction is the mechanical bull and sometimes the workers will get on the bull and ride with you which is always funny. They play great music (country during the day and popular bar songs at night) but the only downside is there is no official dance floor. People just dance around the mechanical bull ring. There is a huge outdoor area with another bar and a fire pit which is great for when the weather is nice. I have eaten here a few times and I have gotten their chicken tacos. Surprisingly they were good and not greasy at all, which is what I was expecting. I also often get texts from the manager offering me happy hour specials for my friends although I have never taken them up on the offer. read more

I had lunch here today for the Eagles game. The place was packed but we went to the back bar and were served right away. Our server/ bartender Foluke was so fun! I split the turkey and avocado wrap with a friend, and it was perfect. Great atmosphere for the game- ALMOST as good as being inside!! read more

I have a blast every single time I come to PBR! Its impossible not to! There is seriously something entertaining going on at all times. Whether I'm watching the buckle bunnies dance, people on the bull, or playing around w the bartenders it's always awesome. I love that when I walk up to the bar, Mike "mazur" knows exactly what I want and the whiskey stays flowing. He looks super cute in that cowboy hat too! No matter what my mood is, PBR def brings a smile to my face. The music is great, the staff is happy and friendly and the bull is just hysterical. I bring all of my out of town friends here and will continue to. read more

Good atmosphere, excellent chx tenders, and an nice outdoor scene. My only complaint is the beer selection. Standard beers: Miller, coors, bud, corona, and blue moon. Only craft beer they had was Dogfish 60 min. 1st time I've been here, and we sat outside, so I can't comment on the indoor area. Overall, a solid place, that I would def return to. read more

Initially we were worried cause the menu had changed and some of our favorite items were missing. After sampling the appetizers and trying a couple of the new entrees, we were very happy.
