    Happy hour menu
    Miles A.

    Stopped in for a happy hour afternoon drink and snack. Cool decor with a nice big bar and some tables to sit at. Also a back room with more tables. Draft menu has about a dozen house brews, as well as other options. Food menu has lots of handhelds / sandwiches. Smash burg was tasty and a nice deal for happy hour. Thanks

    Tuna hoagie

    It's a nice place to hang out with friends and enjoying good beer. It has a rustic ambiance from the exposed bricks. I had beet salad, it's good with good amount of yellow beets. My husband had tuna hoagie, it was salty.

    This brewery has super cool decor. We found it on a walk after scarfing down some happy hour bites. We chose to go with flights so we could try a good portion of the tap list. My favorite was the helles

    Stopped here for a bite and a drink with my brother and his family on a Sunday afternoon. We were able to get a table and sit by a big picture glass window. We all ordered sandwiches and ordered a beer. I ordered a tofu sandwich, my daughter a pork shortie. Burgers were also ordered at the table and we were able to share and scarf down 3 baskets of fries. When trying to decide what beer to order we were offered tastings that helped us decide. The food and drinks were good as well as atmosphere. This is a decent place to share drinks and food with friends!

    Gotta get my lil buddy city wide (pale ale and a shot of whiskey) and smash burger. Service is always really friendly and they even have smaller 4oz pours if you're trying beers. They have a friendly cat Winnie that wanders around too.

    The drafts are pretty good beer and good pricing. Good outdoor seating and cute lights on the stairs. Only interacted with my waitress and she was great!

    The really good chicken fingers devours come from @seconddistrictbrewing . These chicken fingers are literally MADE TO ORDER! These chicken finger were sooo fresh and simply delicious. While here i also I had a Mutual Dream which was very delicious and wasn't too heavy. It had a really sweet taste and didn't have any bad aftertaste. Have you ever find yourself wanting to have some really fresh fried foods please check out @seconddistrictbrewing and of course, let them know who sent you. #food #foodie #foodblogger #foodphotography #philadelphia #philly #chicken #water #beer #sixers #sixersnation #playoffs #hotsauce #honey

    Curly Fries chicken fingers fried artichoke

    Great beers great chicken fingers and artichoke! Polite staff and charming little stop in Philly

    Cool vintage pieces behind the bar and reclaimed wood look.  Ambiance was nice here.
    John L.

    Ambiance wise they have a nice set up here. Lots of reclaimed wood, vintage mirrors and signage surround you. Small side kitchen. On-street parking was found not too far away and there seemed to be a whole lot of auto repair joints in the area. Beer wise the offering was average, multiple styles were offered which was nice and everything from the taps to the glassware was clean. The service for being a bit dead at lunch time was underwhelming. The bartender pretty much ignored me, kept to her phone and when her girlfriends arrived she found her conversation voice. I had an empty glass and was never asked if I wanted another beer. I got more of a move on vibe from the bartender, so I did. I felt very unwelcomed. The cook served me up dry, over cooked wings with old white carrots and curly fries. The curly fries were actually good, the side sauces for the wings were Franks Red Hot and what looked like Bullseye BBQ. Overall the value wasn't there and in this neck of the woods there are better options. I hope as this young brewery grows they improve. I will return to give them a second chance.

    Glory Beer Bar & Kitchen is a must if you're in the Independence Park area of Philly! My wife and I…read morevisited while we were there and loved it! They aren't lying when they say that they have an extensive beer menu! I had a Dancing Gnome Kolsch which was very good and then a Corsendork Christmas Ale which was fantastic! I normally don't like spiced beer, but this one was perfect! My wife and I shared the cheese and salumi plate which was so delicious! My only re is not getting the large! My wife had the crispy chicken sandwich which was really good. The crust was crunchy and the chicken was tender and juicy. I had the porchetta sandwich which was recommended by our waiter and was SO DELICIOUS! It is a must! At first my wife was concerned about the limited menu. They may not have an extensive menu but what they do, they do right! Our waiter was really great and very welcoming, especially as we were from out of town. The place has a rustic vibe which fits with its old town location. We loved it! If we ever find ourselves back in Philly, we will definitely visit Glory again!

    Pretty good overall!…read more Considerably big space for Philly. They had an upstairs too but I am not sure why it wasn't open during majority of the night. When the big crowd from the conference left they opened the upstairs. The Mac and cheese is SO GOOD. Very creamy and rich, the bread crumbs were an amazing surprise edition. This fatty finished it before the beer came. Lots of beer choices. I took off a start be size they were under staffed. So we were just waiting around for the check and the waitress kept forgetting what we asked for. Honestly, not her fault. There were like ~100 people and only 3 employees that I saw. So no designated waiter for tables. These poor 3 employees were the bartenders and the table waiters.

Worth stopping by if you're in the West Village! Food: 4 Drinks: 5 Service: 4 Value: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Food: Surprisingly good. We shared the chicken quesadilla. It was filled to the filled to the brim and delicious. They cooked it perfectly with the edges getting extra crispy like a tortilla chip. I didn't have high expectations for a place thats primarily a bar, but this blew me away all things considered. Drinks: Best taproom in the city. 20+ premium options. They have an awesome selection of beers, including some local options. They have wine and liquor too, but you should focus on the beer. This is the place to go for a good draught. Service: Servers are friendly and down to earth. They're great at suggesting different beers. Value: Not cheap, but not bad. Beers are $8-10 (pretty much market price in the West Village) and food is a decent bargain given how much food you get. Atmosphere: Its a cross between an old school pub and a sports bar. Its dark and 90% male (my wife always comments on how male heavy it is) but I think it has a good vibe. Good beer, good food options, and friendly servers.

The crowd is pretty young, but as a mid-40s, I don't feel out of place. The bartenders are knowledgable and always helpful in making decisions. Why they didn't get 5-stars: This is actually a 4.5-star place and only gets dinged 1/2 star is that is can be hard to get a table or a spot to be. It's a very small venue, so be prepared to stand around a bit. That's it, great beers, good vibes, still a great spot!!!
