    Beignets
    Andrew K.

    Grabbed some seats at the bar for happy hour. The vibe truly escapes me but I'm not mad about it. Did I understand the music choices? No, but again, into it. The happy hour deals themselves are fine. There are 3 drink choices, none of which I was super interested in so went with a non HH beer instead. The names of the non HH cocktails are worth a read and clearly really thought out. We went with both HH apps: the corn ribs and the white fish dip. The former was pretty good- I don't LOVE corn but the dipping sauce was nice and it was pretty well executed. The latter was much better. Nice chunks of meat with really great homemade chips. We also got the beignets which were the highlight: the melted cheese was excellent and was an addition I wouldn't have expected. The pulled pork and the cauliflower were sort of unnecessary here but still really nice. Service was great. Everyone was super friendly. The prices for HH were fine, a BIT on the pricier side and the actual non-HH menu itself was also fairly pricey. Not sure I would necessarily feel the need to come for non-bar food. Really laid back fun atmosphere.

    I'd heard the buzz about Post Haste, but after talking with a staff member at another local bar, I made it a priority to go. We made a reservation before we left that other bar and went days later. The focus on local and sustainable ingredients is great. They really follow through. That makes their menu unique. It's also quite delicious. The Philly beignets were great. The carrot foam was fun. The salad was hearty and delicious. Ingredients pop up in various dishes, as they "repurpose" peels and extra bits, as I assume they did with the mushroom tart and carrot foam that came with the beignets. (They have a mushroom dish on the menu as well.) Cocktails were balanced and tasty, with local-ish ingredients. No piña coladas here, but you won't miss them. My acorn squash entree was interesting and flavorful and had a variety of textures. It was a bit salty for my taste, but still was the most interesting thing we tried. They place has style, too. It's mid-century meets cozy cabin? Hard to describe. You should come see it firsthand.

    Just opened this week! I've been waiting for this business to open for so long! Co-owner, Gabriel has done an excellent job. From eclectic craft cocktails to locally sourced food, wines and beers, Post Haste will welcome you with open arms. I love the decor. Dimly lit, brick walls and repurposed Atlantic City boardwalk decking used on the ceiling. Plenty of room at the well stocked bar. Lots of interesting art, especially the "junkyard" art. Check it out when you come in. Gabriel and his team have worked very hard to put together a unique place for drinks, food, and an overall happy experience in this up and coming neighbourhood. Check out my pictures! Everything was amazing! I'm totally thrilled and I can't wait to come back again and again!

    I love coming here. It always has really good music playing and their vibe is so cozy! I hate the partition that they added, separating the dining room from the bar area thou (that needs to be removed. Better vibe without). Then unfortunately, we're out of the gnocchi when we went and we got the veggie dish as a back up, which wasn't our favorite, but the steak was delicious!

    We had a great meal at Post Haste, and would definitely recommend as one of the more unique and fun restaurants in the East Kensington/Fishtown area. We had a 4 top reservation, and were seated at on their high top tables, but you'll notice they have a sizeable bar there where you can also eat. A lot of people were coming in and just sitting there without reservations, so it's good to know you can have some flexibility there. Their drink and good menus are both adventurous and creative. A really cool feature of their bar is that they have a farm-to-glass beverage philosophy, where the menu exclusively features spirits, beers, wines, citrus, herbs, produce and mixers from the Eastern United States. Nothing imported means they are supporting local and care about reducing their carbon footprint. I had their Farmer's Dirty Martini, which was served with a Cherry Tomato Brine...oh my word, hands down one the best dirty martinis I have ever had! Their food menu is split between small shares, large shares, and entrees. It is nice to get some variety in the dishes and portion sizes, but you'll also see that the menu has some serious RANGE. Where else can you go and either get a ham sandwich or duck breast? I personally felt like they successfully married some traditional bar classics and offers that are a bit more elevated. I had the Crescent Duck Breast, which was served with wheat berry tabouli, roasted baby carrot, za'atar, duck veloute, and a red wine reduction. This dish was stellar, one of the best duck platings I have ever had. We also shared the Philly Beignets and Grilled Maitake. Both were pretty filling, and would highly suggest trying both. The beignet concept is something I have never seen before, and served with their roast pork & fondue, every bite you take is just a burst of flavor and homage to a classic Philly staple. Also, their desserts...how would you react if you saw a "Bacon, Egg, and Cheesecake" on the menu? Some might shy away, but we just had to try it, and it was so good! Whipped cream cheese gave it that rich texture and flavor, but the bacon was candied and crumbled on top with shaved cured egg yolk, which gave it this incredible salty compliment. They emphasize the name of their bar as a place to come to and relax after a busy day, and it certainly is that. It can get a little loud and tight, like any standard bar, so just keep that in mind. Service is good, not great, but between the food, drinks, and general atmosphere, you won't be disappointed.

    Cocktails - juiciest fruit, pearnicilin, & escape from Manhattan
    Jocelyn B.

    I've been in a few times since they opened and am finally getting around to writing a review- I'm SO HAPPY to have this place in the neighborhood. After waiting so long to see what would happen with this space it's surpassed my expectations! The cocktails are definitely the showstopper here. Everything is sourced locally, so they use lots of ingredients I'm less familiar with, but the bartenders are all very knowledgeable and happy to explain everything on the menu- or give you a taste of something you're unsure about! The "juiciest fruit" may be one of my favorite drinks of all time, and I'm not typically a rum drinker, it's just that excellent. The "cherry bomb" and "gritty city" are two other favorites, they're truly unlike any other cocktails I've had in the city. The food is also delicious, the menu is different each time I go, using seasonal ingredients, and I always find something new that I'm excited about. The servers are also very friendly and know so much about where everything in the dishes comes from! I've loved their seafood dishes, highly recommended the grilled oysters for the table, and the sea bass and duck entrees are also incredible. Also, they have some of my favorite fries in Philly- get both dipping sauces! Like I said, I'm so happy to have a spot like this in the neighborhood, it's perfect for a meal with friends, date night, or a nice long bar hang to try as many cocktails as you can. :) So ready to be a regular!

    Charred carrots

    Vegetarian Heaven! Me and my finance went to post haste on a busy Friday night. I love when a place can deliver on vegetarian items on the menu. Everything was spectacular. I had the charred carrots, salad , and fried mushroom dish. 10/10 everything was amazing! My partner had the duck and he left his plate completely clean! This place is one of my favorite additions to the neighborhood. Will continue to frequent this business.

    The Signature Ham Sammy
    Kati D.

    There simply are not enough words to describe how excited I was that Post Haste was opening and it most certainly lived up to my hopes and dreams. Gorgeous and cozy on the inside, it feels like walking through a hometown bar to get to your cool aunt's living room. Once you are seated, you are regaled by an incredible seasonal menu that could cause any foodie or localvore to sweat. The cocktails are playful, imaginative and mind boggling plays on classics and new drinks alike. The sharable plates beg you to return again and again in order to taste them all and the entrees, well hopefully you saved room. By the time I arrived at 6:30pm on opening night several dishes were already sold out for the night (oh noooo I have to go back for beignets and gnocchi oh nooooo) but that only helped us narrow down the seasonal delights. Admittedly we went too far in our enthusiasm but everything we sampled was delightful. To start; Sweet Amalia oysters were accompanied with a rhubarb mignonette, radish rilletes which were buttery and stunning, and a scallop crudo with strawberries that tasted like the beach. Our entrees were maybe my *favorite* cooked fish dish I have ever had, the Tilefish and the signature house Ham Sandwich which was just plain ethereal. Ham is something I would never consider a light meat but my gods, they are doing something crazy with a classic. Everything is wonderful, wildly affordable for the quality and just awe inspiring. Oh! The service! This is a crew of folks who know what they are doing and serve with a knowledgeable cheekiness that is instantly endearing. We had Mikayla (sorry about the spelling?) as our guiding food and drink wizard and every interaction was just lovely. The whole operation is a well oiled piece of teamwork and a joy to be surrounded by. Thank you Post Haste. We will be back again and again and again.

    Menu was creative and delicious. Servers were lovely. Drinks was fun and cool local riffs of classics.

    Orange Youse a Carrot
    Binh L.

    5 stars for drinks, 5 stars service, and 4 stars food. I see this place as a cool cocktail bar you snack at with your friends or date(s - I won't judge). The drinks: the drinks are really good. The rosemary smoke in the Pearnicillin is dope and I've never been more impressed with a mocktail like Orange Youse a Carrot. Carrot juice concoction with a thyme foam that left a nice aftertaste. It was a fun orange cream soda vibe with carrot cosplay. You could come back for cocktails and vibes alone and not be disappointed. The food: It's not five stars for me but it doesn't mean it can't be five stars for you. Also four stars is still pretty good ok! The good is that there is a really good sourcing ethos. The interesting is paring strawberry with scallop and it being my favorite dish because it was delicate and light in all the fresh and seasonal ways. The sweetness and acidity of the strawberry was unexpected with the fat/creaminess and saltiness of the scallop. If you're into super bold flavors, maybe not your place. If you want interesting and more subdued then try. I reserve the right to reassess. So anyway I guess you better make haste to the bar ha .. ha .. ha.. no, but really it's that good.

    Can't say enough about the great food and cocktails. Super original cocktails, food made with love and attention to detail with great textures, flavors and presentation. Lighting and music and decor is perfect. Staff is kind and seem passionate about how Post Haste is sourcing food and spirits as locally as possible-- east of the Mississippi. I'll definitely be back!

My two favorites are Born Again and Buck 48. The Born Again is a clarified punch that's super refreshing--almost leaning tart, but in a really good way. The Buck 48 is also refreshing, with warm, spicy notes that give it an autumn vibe, though honestly, it's great any time of year. If you're in the mood for something bold and boozy, I also recommend The Golden Ticket. My palate leans away from anything overly sweet or overpowering--I appreciate balance--and every cocktail I've had here hits just right. The only sad thing is that my favorite bartenderess is no longer there, but the staff is still awesome, and the music is always on point, which keeps the vibe strong. Just a heads-up: this cocktail bar is upstairs from Sassafras, and the menus are completely different. If you're looking for a true craft cocktail experience, make sure you're upstairs at 48 Record Bar. The atmosphere is great. I usually go on Saturday nights around 8 p.m. and have been lucky to grab a seat, though it definitely gets more crowded later. The fact that I've been back several times says a lot--especially since I usually only visit a place once with so many options in the city.

But then I spotted a dark beer on the menu that sounded too good to pass up. If you follow me, you know I'm slowly becoming a dark beer guy. I liked it a lot. The sandwich special was a cheesesteak.

The complimentary crunchy corn snack for the table was a nice surprise! We ordered an app, a ceviche, and four entrees to share between the six of us and found that plenty filling. The Yuca Frita app was tasty with a delicious dip we held on to, but I wish it came with more as six pieces felt small for the price. The Ceviche Mixto was a more solid portion with a great variety of seafood; it was on the tart side but came with a really nice cilantro sauce that the table ate clean. Out of our entrees, the Lomo Saltado was the highlight with well-cooked and tender chunks of steak and yummy fries (simple, I know). The Pescado a Lo Macho and Arroz con Mariscos were very generous portions with a ton of various seafood; even the fried fish dish came with shrimp, mussels, and scallops on top. The Aji de Gallina was maybe the least noteworthy entree, a chicken stew with cassava and rice, but even that was hearty and filling. Service was good throughout with plenty of water refills, and the cost was surprisingly reasonable for what we ordered. I'd definitely recommend this place for seafood lovers, and I'd be interested in coming back to try the roast chicken and to have the lomo saltado and ceviche again!
