    Loved this place. Such a cozy, fun atmosphere with great food and drinks. The rooftop is such a nice touch, and I can see why this spot is so popular. Definitely a great place to hang out with friends and enjoy the vibe.

    The atmosphere is what drew us to standard tap. The outside looks like a cute German pub and and inside is wooden tavern with warm lighting. The staff was pretty friendly and when we asked for a single drink between the two of us, they gave us two smaller glasses and split it which was nice. The beer itself was good. Nothing amazing but also pretty solid. The hazy was fresh and had a decent amount of haze.

    Standard Burger, cooked to a proper medium

    Bartender (Kourtney) was super helpful in selecting a beer. Sometimes you go to a bar and everything on tap is unfamiliar, and a bartender might get annoyed by questions. Here, she talked me through a few of their special selections and made a few recommendations. I landed on a cask IPA that was smooth and strange and delicious. They brought me a complimentary orange scone and, buddy, it was fire. I don't eat a lot of scones but I have to imagine that's what they're supposed to taste like. Like a buttery biscuit but sweeter. I had the standard burger, medium, with extra pickles. Bartender warned me that it doesn't come with fries, I just wanted the burger though. 5/5 burger, 5/5 bread & butter pickles, 5 stars overall.

    I love it here. Recently went during a snow storm, they were the only ones open. I got the Sunday roast and it was better than in London. This is what food should be. And great drinks.

    Visited here for lunch on a Sunday. Pub style relaxing atmosphere. Good service, our server was very attentive without being smothering. I had the occutpus as my starter, the best octopus I ever had, DELICIOUS! For our entrees he had the mussels and I had the bunless fish sandwich comes with fries. The fries were delicious, rhe fish sandwich was a little to crispy/ extra well done for my taste. We also ordered desserts, both were good...just enough.

    I'm not sure why I've never been here before, but I'm glad I finally went! I wanted to see what all of the praise was all about with their Chicken Pie. That praise... is so very well deserved! It is, hands down, the best chicken pot pie I've had in Philadelphia. There are a lot of bad pot pies in the world. This one will make you never want to eat those other pies ever again. The chicken, onions, and veggies inside are slow-cooked to perfection. The crust is out of this world flaky good and very artistically presented. It's a huge meal by itself. If you're into homemade beers, Standard Tap has you covered. I will definitely return!

    Greetings and salutations yelpers. On a recent visit to NJ we heading over to Philly for brunch. What a find this was. Upon entering greeted warmly. Our waitress was awesome. Offered great recommendations, constantly smiling and all around pleasant. As for the drinks, my party was not disappointed. At first I ordered a cosmo it was ok. However when I sampled the monarch, I was hooked. It assaulted all your tastebuds deliciously. As my group are foodies, we ordered almost everything from the menu. Food was bit salty but not enough not to enjoy. Octopus was good, however a combo bite of octopus, arugula artichoke and anchovies was delicious. Seared scallops yummy however the quince was a surprise treat. First time having and I was hooked. Pork belly prepared perfectly. Duck hash was ok wasnt my favorite. Shrimp n Grits equally delicious. For dessert flourless fudge brownie freaking amazing worth every bit of calorie ingested. If in the area definitely worth checking out. Until we eat again..Caio!

    Frittula omelette
    Megan Z.

    Sat on the beautiful porch on a hot summer day for brunch. The ambience cannot be beat. Unfortunately, was surprised at how lacking the service was for our meal. We ordered oysters for the table. They arrived very cold in a tray of ice. As we ate them, the ice quickly melted. When the waitress retrieved the tray, the oyster melted ice water splashed all over our table, making a significant puddle. For the rest of the meal, the waitress did not wipe the table down. We eventually asked for napkins and did it ourselves. The oyster water dripped into our coffees and cups of water, she did not offer to replace them. The oysters themselves were beautiful. We ordered the Dutch baby pancake and the frittula (pulled pork) omelette and enjoyed both. If the service had been good, this would have easily been a 5 star brunch.

    This is my first review on Yelp, I've done a bunch on trip advisor before but got told that yelp reviews are more helpful to US businesses. We're from the UK but travelling through the US on holiday. One of our group loves cake ales and the mark of a bar that serves good cask ale in the UK is the Cask Marque. There's only a handful with that accreditation in the US. On a whim we've taken a train from Washington with the sole purpose of visiting this bar. We haven't seen Philly at all, haven't even gotten a cheesesteak, and now we're off back down there again. It was totally worth it (and the somewhat silly cost of doing a jaunt like this). The selection of beers is excellent, the cask ones are served at a proper cask temperature and the regular beers served nice and cold. Tusslewig was as good a pint of mild as either of us have ever drunk. The food was excellent, in particular the pork chop, fish sandwich, doughnut bites and pound cake, but that's the highlights the other dishes were really good too. Everything was sourced local (beers, food and even the bourbon) and the herbs are literally grown on the roof. Staff were lovely. The building is so unassuming from the outside, the upstairs terrace is beautiful. It was a big thumbs up from four of us and totally worth the ridiculous trip to get there

    Is the lunch menu different from the dinner menu?

    We have an abbreviated menu that is posted on our Facebook Menu page.

    Are reservations needed for a wed or Thursday evening?

    Hi, Tom. If your group is small, you're probably fine without a reservation on a Wednesday or Thursday. However, we do recommend reservations for parties of 8 or above. I hope this was helpful.… Read more

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.

I got back to my hotel my second but I found a hair. Like a fatty I threw it to the side and kept eating it anyways. Unlike a true fatty, I didn't finish it. So unholy for a Mac and cheese lover like myself... but it was too acidic for me. I couldn't keep eating it. So I'm basing this review solely on the food. The service seemed ok? They seemed nice, but can't judge that as I did take out.

On a whim, I called Butcher Bar and told them I know it's last minute on a Saturday night, but could they accommodate 9 people. They told me if we were there in 30 minutes they could make it work, so we rushed over. We sat at the bar for drinks as they cleaned up a table. They overheard us talking about how The Trough would be nice (feeds 8 for $300, but was more than enough for us 9), and said if we wanted that they could get it started as the table was prepared. We said yes, and were sat a few minutes later with drinks in hand. Jenna (Gema? She had grape earrings) was a fantastic server and just so kind and attentive. She kept the drinks flowing and The Trough arrived sooner than I expected and was everything I wanted for dinner and more. I can't thank Butcher Bar enough for saving the night for my 40th and just providing a fantastic experience. We'll be back, and we promise to give more notice next time! :)
