If I lived in Fishtown, this would be my neighborhood to-go brewery. Small brewery with big neighborhood vibes. They have indoor/outdoor seating and have around 8 different style beers on tap and some craft cans available for purchase as well. They have a small food counter that was closed the day I went (Sunday) but I saw patrons bringing in outside food and eating inside. The staff is the sweetest and I loved talking to them, it felt like home and they wished me a safe return flight home. I met some cool locals and overall just loved the vibes here. I also know they host events like singles night so stay tuned to their updates! read more

This was one of my absolute favorite stops on my Brewery tour. The bartender is adorable. I can see her driving around in a punch buggy, spreading smiles and joy. Fun decor. I gave away 4 The Cheesesteak Life shirts to four wonderful people that I met at Punch Buggy. Dog-friendly outside. They have a food vendor, but they were closed when I was there. Call ahead to learn about food availability. I loved my beer. Raspberry Currant. I feel like they brewed it just for me read more

What an awesome place!! I actually found PBBC when I was looking for another yoga class and I saw that they had a Saturday class here. I didn't have time to get to this class but I made a mental note that I wanted to come here if I was ever in the area. This weekend we had a dinner near by so I made it a point to come here. I had the currant sour and my boyfriend had the Octoberfest (I think). We both loved our drinks and we loved the vibe here. If I lived closer I would come all the time. They have a nice size tv and they even put the Penn State fb game on when the people (including me) wanted to watch. I left w a 4 pack of the blueberry sour bc I love all the blueberry everythings in the world. Haven't tried it yet but I'm confident if it is anywhere as good as the currant I will be happy. read more

Venue has indoor and outdoor seating. Decor was colorful, vibrant, and fun. Service was prompt and friendly. About a dozen or so draft, a good amount of canned, beers, as well as mixed drinks and non alcoholic drinks. A good selection of food items and vegan options. They use the same grill to cook vegan and non vegan items. My non vegan bf is allergic to jack fruit, so he couldn't order anything due to cross contamination and the vegan and vegetarians at the table didn't love the idea of everything being cooked on the same grill together, so no one ordered any food items. I hope they bring g in a few flat pans to accommodate everyone. read more

My go to Brewery but this year they now have space to reserve for work holiday parties so I'm trying that out. I was complaining how hard it is to find private party space in Philly and then they told me they rent out a room at their American street location. So far the process is really good, my coworkers are excited. read more

Went for a quick bite and a good beer, ended up with a whole outdoor performance! So much fun and great vibes always. I especially love the cornhole games set up, when the weather is nice this is a great place to come with friends. Excellent service & incredible food from Happy Bites as well! read more

Awesome little bar with plenty of beers on tap and solid food options. I will emphasis it is little - there are only a handful of seats inside. Luckily, they have a nice bit of outdoor seating, which is clutch when the weather agrees. Regarding drinks, I am a cider/sour type guy and love how they usually have at least one of each on tap. They don't kill you on prices either. If you aren't sure what you might want, the staff will help and small samples are available as well. Food wise, I have not yet eaten here. However, I've seen enough to realize I probably sure. The stuff looks amazing. Also worth noting they can do their menu with jackfruit instead of meats if you'd like to go that way. Either way, quality is certainly a focus. read more

A small but mighty brewery with food by Happy Bites! Beers are great but a little limited, but the food is great! They are sliders (but really in bun size only!) everything is reasonably priced and comes out quick and with a smile. Will be back. read more

It's a shame when I lived over this way I never stopped it. It's a super cool spot with a cafe next door. So they hosted a little outdoor market last night with a bunch of local art, food, and live music. Things like this is why I love nice weather. It's always great to have "free" events. I put that in quotes because I always end up spending money! That's my fault though. What stands out most here is their pickles. You're all like what?!? Ok when you check out look to your left. Their is a little fridge full of jars of pickles. We go the habanero ones and they are some of the most delicious pickles I've ever had. Now they are very spicy so I can't down more than one without some dairy but if you wrap one of these suckers in a creamy slice of American cheese!!! Maybe Boarshead..... Oh my wife and friend had their beer and really enjoyed it. He got the milkshake flavor and was like WOW. As a washed up designer I love their logo. Whatever that's worth to ya. read more

Small little brewery in an ok part of town. The beer tender was friendly and searched for stickers for me and brought them over. They had someone there making pasta dishes, Pasta Boy, I think his name was. Didn't try the food but looked pretty decent. We had a beer and moved on to the next place. I would check it our again if in the area. read more

Yeah absolutely love this spot. Our bartender was amazing, super cute and funny. We must have had 5 beers a piece while shooting the shit with Olivia. Food was great too. Now it's not sold by PBBC but there is a small spot behind the bar that made some dope sliders that I was drooling over. This spot is down the block from my school. I may have to frequent it more often. read more

Hole in the wall spot in Fishtown. Stopped for quick beers. My husband got the peanut butter brown ale on nitro (Downtown PB) and I got the puffy milk stout with Cocoa Puffs. Mine was very smooth and I preferred it. Liked the low key vibes and outdoor seating. read more

This was our 4th Brewery that we came too and I wasn't too big of a fan of the beer that we ordered. My mom ordered a glass of the Stone & Key Pinot Grigio. Street parking available nearby. It was a cute decor and I enjoyed the ambiance. I would have liked to try the hot dogs or the grilled cheese as both sounded good. We ordered the Coffee Porter Nitro ES Cafe Coffee Blend. He opened the wine [did not cut the seal and just opened through the seal] bit it was not cold at all even though 2 ice cubes were added. It was not very enjoyable. The Porter had a strong coffee aftertaste but was quite heavy. I didn't enjoy it too much as it was a little on the bitter side, similar to a dark roast coffee. I did try a little bit of the Strawberry cider which I liked and it had a good sweetness. read more

As COVID decimates the restaurant business, I want to coddle Punch Buggy in a safe, warm embrace and protect it at all costs. I'm a sucker for small breweries, especially when the vibe is right, the beer is great, and the staff are awesome. There were lots of beer options on tap when we visited, including a very good chocolate stout on Nitro. I opted for the Sour Strawberry and a Hazy IPA, both of which were impeccably drinkable. The 2-3 staff members were just the right amount of helpful without being overbearing, especially considering we were the only dine-in patrons when we came. I love the charm of the small, garage set-up. If you're more of a stuck-up beer snob (you're allowed!!), you won't come to Punch Buggy for the ambiance, though I found it to be exactly what I needed on a windy, gray day. It's in a growing area of Kensington, and there's plenty of surrounding street parking if you opt to drive. They happened to be showing the Eagles game, and even though they would go on to LOSE to the NY GIANTS, it was a great place to watch the first half, as it was quiet and filled with beer and comfort food. The food menu is small. There are 3-4 varieties of hot dogs and 3-4 varieties of grilled cheese. The OG plain grilled cheese with a cup of tomato soup and side of salty chips is iconic comfort food. The soup even had little grilled cheese croutons!! For 8 bucks, it was simply satiating lunch. I hope Punch Buggy can survive COVID. I'll be doing my part to help keep this quaint jawn afloat! read more

My fiancé and I went to Punch Buggy one afternoon and we did not care for it at all. First, I would definitely consider it smaller than a microbrewery and we understand that it is a smaller facility but they barely had any of the options available, everything had ran out... and it was like 1 PM on a Saturday so we were a little disappointed in that. We would have loved to try the flavors that everyone mentioned like the Pumpkin Pie and French Toast Stout, they didn't seem to have any cool flavors other than some sour beer when we went. We loved the small outdoors atmosphere, which was set up more for like 2 people rather than larger groups and they had a couple of games on the side you could play. During our time here we had some weird customer service so we almost rushed finishing up our beers because of the guy helping us, and I didn't even get the chance to get his name because it was horrible. Overall, I would definitely like to see some different flavors and better customer service. read more

I stumbled across PBBC's "Opening Weekend" Facebook event in the feed randomly this week and I came to find out that one of the owners I went to school with growing up with in the Greater Northeast. It's always great to see people doing cool ass shit with their lives, like congrats guys, seriously! There are always new things happening on the outskirts of Fishtown and with the revamp of American Street, this place is sure to become a local favorite. The overall space is pretty cozy, and although it was crowded I wouldn't say it was packed. I only say this, because I couldn't actually hear my boyfriend who was sitting right next to me. They may need to look into something to dampen the noise levels (or reverb...?) because the space is pretty tight and all of the voices were ricocheting off the walls (I'm no scientist, just an assumption), making it feel noisier than it probably was. They had 4 of their own beers on tap, but additionally had Pizza Boy, 2SP, and Tröeges. I got to try three of their beers, but their fourth was kicked (next time!). The beers I got to try were the Clutch Session Ale( light and crisp brewed with Cascade and Centennial) Love Bug Hazelnut (malt forward with hazelnut and chocolate), and the Punch Buggy Yellow (blonde ale with clean and well balanced flavor). I think it's really fun that all of the beer names play off the Punch Buggy namesake. The Love Bug Hazelnut, although not my favorite of the three, had the most interesting flavor. Definitely something to try even if Hazelnut isn't your thing. My boyfriend read somewhere that when asked whether or not this brewery was going to be serving food that their response was something along the lines of "Yes, we'll have food, but we'll be focusing mostly on artisanal grilled cheese." If that's not what was said, and I'm taking y'all out of context, I'm sorry, but that response had my boyfriend and I headed down to check y'all out for sure just based on the grilled cheese. We got the Jalapeño grilled cheese as well as the pepperoni grilled cheese and I will say that the Jalapeño was just a tad bit better. The combination of the cheeses (which I would actually suggest that you print which cheeses you're using for each grilled cheese on the menu, because I didn't see that they were listed and have no idea what cheeses were on the sandwiches even though they were great) and the jalapeño flavor with a kick was amazing. I liked the Pepperoni Pizza grilled cheese, but I would've liked it more if it had bigger slices of pepperoni in it. I understand why they chopped up the pep, (so that you'd be more likely to have every bite have the flavor) but I feel like it diminished the presence of the flavor overall. I wouldn't say to use the deli sized pep, but maybe the smaller ones, because the pepperoni flavor was barely there. Pretty good, but sadly barely there. We also had the Black Bean Chipotle Hummus and it was hands down top three hummuses that I've had in my entire life. The heat hits you like 4-5 seconds into chewing the chip and the flavor profile is insanely unique for hummus. The only suggestion I would have would be to up the game on the chip pairing. The Tortilla chips were not on the same level as the godliness that is that hummus. The saltiness of the tortilla chips took away from the flavor of the hummus (which was neutral at first and then hit you with the heat) maybe some stronger tortilla chips or some unsalted pita chips would be a better pairing. Overall the vibe of this place was pretty chill, and I'll surely be back. I can really see this brewery as the place that everyone loves to come hang out at on Tuesdays for trivia or something like that. Also their Hoppy Buggy logo is amazing. Super awesome. Cannot wait to see what the future holds for this business! Prost! read more

A friend and I visited Punch Buggy Brewing for a couple of beers before our dinner at Cheu Fishtown this past weekend. We enjoyed our time there. We tried two or three beers, which were all good. The brewery is long and narrow, with a few tables inside and more outside. We sat a picnic table outside that was covered with an awning (perfect since it started to rain). It was a great place to enjoy a few beers: good beer, good service, good vibes. Would go back. read more

The Best People and Beer. Moved here last year, and this was the first bar I came across. They were super accepting and introduced me to regulars and other cool spots in the area. If you have friends or family visiting from out of town then this is a place you MUST show them! read more

Cool little brewery with some very good cider, interior decor and relaxed atmosphere.

It was such a wonderful surprise to finally see that Punch Buggy Brewing was open! The atmosphere had a very local feel, but I absolutely loved it. They kicked a few beers in a few days which is understandable as they are a smaller facility. I can't wait to see what else they brew in the future, though. I will definitely be back to visit! Also...the staff is so knowledgeable and helpful! Definitely recommend! Can't comment on the food, but the menu was small but looked delicious and smelled great, too. I mean they have a jalapeño grilled cheese read more

A fun and cool place to gather. The service is very friendly. There is often an event happening. I just saw them on Fox 29. The indoor and outdoor seating is comfortable. I am new to beer and I have to say the beers I've tasted have been amazing. The Food served by Happy Bites Philly has been soooooo good. The sliders and fries are worth the ride. They also serve a shrimp roll that will make you very happy. The food is really delicious. I highly recommend Punch Buggy and Happy Bites. read more

I was very impressed with punch buggy! The interior is similar to a garage- but in a good way. There is a decent amount of seating with lots of games to choose from. The beer and cider selection is very good! I also tried the buffalo chicken grilled cheese and it was one of the best I've ever had! The bartenders were also extremely friendly and fun. There are large tvs as well. If you are in the area- don't discount punch buggy! read more

A great new addition to Philly's brewery scene! Nice atmosphere to sit and enjoy a drink, though it got a little chilly with the large door open. The beer list is majority beers from other breweries, with just a few home-brewed options. I had the wit/saison, which was much more wit than saison. The most memorable part of the experience was the jalapeño popper grilled cheese - wow that was delicious! Next time I want to try the black bean chipotle hummus. read more

Small spot that deserves more attention. Great staff. Beers were between good and great. Some nice picnic tables outside to sit at and a quiet part of North American Street to enjoy said beers. My running club went here, and they went above and beyond to put out a huge spread of food for us as well. read more

Super friendly staff and cool vibe. They even offered a free 10oz when they found out I ran the Broad Street 10 mile race!

Nice addition to the neighborhood which already has a solid array of libation places. I did not try any of the food but decided to checkout the beer. The place was packed and I walked up and was able to order a flight right away. Hopped out back and start to try the flight. My favorite being the session was super light and good hops and citrus to it. Neat place and if your walking around it is worth the stop. read more

Checked this place out on a whim. Beer selection was mediocre (guest beer list was more compelling than the house beers). Ordered food for our small party and it took 30+ minutes for 2 grilled cheeses, which was confusing since no one else there was ordering any food. My sandwich had this great piece of plastic (pictured) included! read more

Love it here. Great spot to grab some food and sit outside. Place is clean and the staff is very nice. 5 stars :)

Punch Buggy is very much a new hidden gym in philly. It's definitely not a big spot, I think it honestly is just a renovated auto garage so picture something about that size. The beers are all very approachable and enjoyable, so nothing too super ABV or IPA. They have a limited food menu, more snacklike, largely hot dogs and grilled cheese. I did try the buffalo chicken grilled cheese which was pretty darn delightful, but again, pretty limited. I definitely think its a good spot to go with a few friends, but probably not a large group or if you are looking to get dinner. read more
