I'll be honest, I don't quite post nearly as often as I'd like because many of my experiences fall…read morewithin the range of "just okay". It takes the exceptionally good or exceptionally bad to inspire my passion to provide details. Fortunately, St.Oners falls squarely in the former. ENVIRONMENT I have to first note the staff were incredibly patient, knowledgeable and seemingly passionate about the establishment. You might find one of those qualities in a good spot but very rarely all three. Inside,they have about 6-8 bar seats and 5 booths. Despite this, the layout still felt spacious. FOOD I have a favorite spot in the city for an affordable burger/fries. It has not changed in over 8 years but I can proudly report it's been dethroned. St.Oners offers a burger/fries for $12 which is a happy hour deal in most other establishments. Both seemed to be made with care and were quite delicious. If you're in the forever changing Fishtown area and need an option that doesn't leave your wallet throbbing look no further. Happy eats!

They even have a local version of Alien church brewed at or for this location that smells like weed. They have a nice selection of drafts and cans and also great merch. The bartenders are always knowledgeable and friendly and the Mexican street for is very good too. We even tried the pub pretzel which was served with both mustard and a beer cheese dips and was fresh and hot. The homemade tortilla chips with the trio of salsas is also a great snack.

On the last day of business, I had a saison which honestly tasted better in the tasting glasses she gave me. The service on the last day was incredible. I tried 3 different sample of beer-summer saison, Saku saku, and blueberry milkshake. The saku saku was pretty mild. Honestly I should have gotten the blueberry milkshake. Their milkshake IPAs were always solid. I am definitely going to have to go to their Jersey location now since it is all that is left. I also got the frickles because who doesn't like a solid fried pickles. I did wish the fried part stayed on the pickles but it is what it is.

As someone who seeks quality Belgian and craft beers, this is the place to be. And, that smash burger, oh my! The egg rolls and burrata salad are yummy too. That said, the service is very slow and you have to flag them down to order, for a refill, for the check, etc. you can (and should) do better here. Aside from that, they were also out of a few food items and beers so.... In any case, I'm hoping this is a blip. Cheers to continuing to do what you do well, and improving upon the other side of the house .

The place has a warm vibe, and full of folks doing the same thing. We seated ourselves, and within 10 minutes had a table full of snacks (GIANT PRETZEL and trio of fries) and various beers and cocktails. It has kind of a beer hall style of ordering, where you can either walk up to the snack kiosk and order on a touch screen, or do it right from your phone. This is an excellent system to accommodate all levels of drunken neurosis. Everything was good, but I also indulged and probably can't recall much in more detail than that. Will definitely come back for any time I need to bring a group, but also don't want to be wrestling for a free table.

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.

Like literally when we walked in someone was on a mic encouraging others to sing Mario "You Should Let Me Love You" and then went on to more early 00s jams. Inviting to all, but very much a safe space for Blackness. It was what I would hope from Philly's first Black brewery. The food system was pretty cool. No Liberty Kitchen that night, but we ordered through an app and were notified when our food serviced from Corio was ready. They leave it on tray for you to pickup. The cocktail I had was very good and the bartender was friendly. The comedy show was 'eh,' I'll give it a pass. Some were funnier than others, and you could tell a few were still working on their craft. Comedy is hard. Overall, I'm excited for all their offerings like their tours, nearby beer garden and themed events.

What I got was flashbacks to my corporate life drinking beers with fun names trying to forget I was in a hotel lobby bar. Pro tip; entrance is on 37th St. Two Locals brewing is on the 1st floor of an office building. They are next to a sandwich window and open seating that was hosting a reiki spa massage lecture series. There were some big personalities in Two Locals side of the space. Luckily I found parking right outside the front door. I gave away 4 t-shirts to 4 lovely people. The beers had fun names.

I have to say, it was difficult to get service there. I had a couple tastings before I wanted to decide on the beer I liked but it took forever for me to get my actual beer once I ordered the samples. The beer here was pretty good. I didn't really liked the food options they had (was too burger based for my taste). Since they sold out of the Mahi Mahi tacos, I ended up getting a French onion burger with fries. The potato bun was decent but it was pretty basic. The ground beef patty with French onion was very tasty but messy. I also really liked the pickled onions. The fries were really crispy and good.
