They could've stuck with the plan and probably make significantly more profit and it wouldn't have been a wrong decision. Their brand and reputation was more important to them, and they didn't feel that the transition would be a positive transition for them overall. I had a personal experience happen lately that affected their decision to continue. I wouldn't have liked them any less had they felt the best direction for them was to continue with that idea. This personal experience was borderline shame for my family. They are thinking why would I associate myself with so and so and this and that, but I try to be open to all places and environments- especially if I have a reason to be at such and such a place, etc. I used to be a teacher and probably had to teach some of the people's kids or their relatives or work with some of them, and ironically, my family wanted me to be a teacher at one point. While that experience was a struggle for me including not understanding or being okay with people being disrespectful, one thing that never changed was my heart for the kids, their families, and all the staff I worked with. They could see this and I never had to ask. I always worked on how I could mesh well with others very different than me constantly. I don't regret my teaching experiences despite how painful it was for me. Thank you, Craft Beer Store, for treating your customers like they are human and not just another number. Physical violence is NOT a solution to any kind of misunderstanding or conflict, and the Craft Beer Store will not stand up for such nonsense. I would've never thought communicating with a store could become such a positively personal experience for me. I plan to make much more effort to support them than just a casual let's try this or that beer now, and you should too. Thank you.

Go, enjoy the food, enjoy the beers on tap, tip your waitress, but pick a cool day and sit outside.

If you're looking for a burger and fries, then you should be good to go here - otherwise, I'd recommend opting elsewhere. Very few lighter fare/vegetable options to choose from - and when I did order one of few salads on the menu, it arrived with wilted leaves that tasted like they'd been sitting on a refrigerator shelf for a few days too long. The turkey sandwich was decent - but that was about the only redeeming quality of the meal. As a whole, Bogart's was a disappointing experience -overly high price tag, and underwhelmingly average food.

When you walk in, there is a good to fair chance that it'll be full of regulars watching a Phillies game or some such. Just sit yourself, order the food from the bar, enjoy the food for not much money, and be glad that you stopped in. I also got the buff chick cheesesteak. Solid. Not amazing, but definitely solid.

I almost thought it was closed, but nope! There wasn't a big crowd, but it was a Monday at 7pm. A bunch of regulars enjoying the space. It was fairly loud with music. Super friendly folks working here. Our server was very sweet and made some recommendations as well as advised the specials for the night. Small hiccup with the beer I was served, but it was wet, so I drank the beer I was given. Ordered up the baked clam special. BBQ sauce and cheese was an odd combination, but actually quite good. I had the mussels and spaghetti for dinner. I asked for the Diavolo sauce, but not sure I received it. The sauce was not spicy at all, but some added red pepper flakes did the trick. The mussels were fantastic and a ton of them too. Spaghetti was cooked well and swimming in sauce. Small loaf of warmed bread for dipping. My wife had a chicken cutlet sandwich and she found it a bit bland if I'm being honest. She dipped her bread in my sauce to give it a bit more flavor. They put on the home run derby which was appreciated. All in all, a fun stop. Not quite sure I'd return unless I needed a place to hang before that next run to PHL. They were very nice and appreciative of the business and we enjoyed our time dining here.

Went to The Ridley House today and was really disappointed with the service. Our server took a long…read moretime to come over initially, and after that we barely saw her. Our drinks were empty for most of the meal, and we had to ask another server just to find her. One of our drinks was made wrong, and when we finally got her attention, she seemed annoyed she needed to come to our table and actually walked away while we were still talking, which felt really dismissive. What makes it more frustrating is that there's an automatic 18% gratuity even for small tables. I ended up having to tipping $22 total, and for only seeing her a handful of times, it definitely didn't feel deserved. To top it off, when I mentioned to the head bartender (who was acting as the manager) that I wouldn't be coming back, he pulled $40 cash out of his own wallet and offered it to me to "give them another chance." It honestly made me feel so uncomfortable and was not an appropriate way to handle the situation. The food was fine, but the service and overall experience were not. For the prices and the built-in tip, I expected much better. I will not be returning.
