    "Go to Static!," advised my server at Pietramala, a vegan restaurant worth every penny. Since Pietramala knows what they are doing, I scheduled a Uber to take me immediately to Static! (It helped that it was only a short walk from my hotel.) Walking in around 11pm on a Saturday evening in June, I was able to snag a seat at the bar despite it being busy. The menu is innovative from cutting-edge cocktails to $5 Jell-O shots, which of course I ordered. (I'll never stop loving Jell-O shots!) For a balanced, slightly sweet and sour drink, try the Bleat Punch. It's made with cachaça, reposado, lime, beet, mandarin and clarified with goat milk. It comes with a dry beet slice on top. It was well executed, unique, and refreshing. Service is excellent! Everyone was chill while also being quick. If you love a good cocktail, go here!

    Static was an absolute delight to visit. It is a walk in only bar which I actually really appreciate as you don't have to fight for reservations. I'd recommend coming early as it's quite popular. The menu was great offering both easy approachable drinks and inventive bold flavors. I found our drinks to be well balanced and smooth. The upstairs section was gorgeous. The vibes were immaculate. It was a bit loud between the music and the other patrons but nothing crazy. The waitstaff were kind and helpful. Absolutely an amazing bar

    Was here when they opened end of 2025 and a bit more recently as well. The newer cocktail menu has some inventive drinks with unique / rare flavors, many showcasing exotic fruit flavors or liqueurs not so commonly used elsewhere. Majority are on the sweeter side. Presentation is fun and colorful. Lots of potential with this to try new flavors and combinations. Walk in only which is nice as a neighborhood spot. It's very lively when busy, but the sound acoustics in a small space were a bit of a drawback trying to have a conversation. It's worth adding Static to your rotation of spots if it's on your way to see if there's space for you and friends, and if any cocktails are to your liking. Thanks

    Such an awesome addition to the neighborhood. With a hot and new spot like this that does not take reservations, it's a bit tough to get in. My group and I tried Saturday evening with no luck, but got in on a Monday evening easily. There's a full bar and a few tables in the front and a handful more tables on the second level. The space and drink menu is SO fun. All types of unique drinks and all the classics. The staff was super friendly, checking in on us and even being so kind as to charge my friend's phone. While the pricetag is a bit high 15ish dollars a piece for a drink, it's to be expected at a nicer cocktail bar like this. The perfect place to stop for a drink or two. So excited about this spot and will def be back soon!!

    My boyfriend and I recently met one of my close friends at Static! This is the new cocktail bar that took over Tria Washington Square. We arrived not long after opening, and we were able to sit upstairs. The decor is cute and welcoming, and all staff members were very friendly. For my cocktails, I ordered the Merang-a-thang and Hawaiian 75. I wouldn't be able to pick a favorite, as they were both so refreshing and well-crafted. My friend and boyfriend enjoyed their drinks as well, and my boyfriend had a chips app that he inhaled (did not get to try it). Prices were what you'd expect. I'd definitely go back on future Philly trips. I love that it's so close to the PATCO too.

    What a cool and unique neighborhood speakeasy! We met friends here on a Saturday early evening for some pre-dinner cocktails and it was such a great experience. The bar looked very cool but since there was 4 of us- we sat at a table upstairs. This place had tiki and cocktail bar vibes and I loved their eclectic menu. I got the banana scotch drink and the sweet potato rye drinks and the were both excellent! We will be back and next time will sit at the bar!

    What a great little bar! I had the bartender recommend a Sangiovese wine and it was perfect! I can't wait to return.

    Cute place for fun drinks and a catch up with friends! They were all sweet and delicious and about ~$17 each. The interior is also cute and has a decent amount of seating.

    Amazing new bar! The staff is so nice and attentive. Went to try them out and ended up staying for 3 drinks. They have an extensive, fun menu and are fine making the classics too. Very cool vibe, just what Philly needed.

    Delightful space. Charming gentlemen servers, very friendly with the local gay clientele. Delicious and very creative drinks.

    Pete's verde

    So cute! Small but perfect with limited outdoor seating. The Pete's verde is one of my new favorite cocktails! The initial flavor was kind of a shock but soooo good. The hot dog was great too.

    Great neighborhood/date spot. Drinks are very tasty but a little expensive (my cocktail was $16).

    The bad news: the last time I reviewed this spot was over 5 years ago!…read more The great news: IT HAS JUST GOTTEN BETTER! Admittedly, when we used to go, it was during a time we could only really sit outside and enjoy our bevs, or take them to go, and NOW we get to bask in the warm lighting, the INCREDIBLE soundtrack, and the perfect energy of the staff, so I think it's about time to re-review. Four Humours is the place I'd take a date (in fact, I did bring my husband last night), a girlfriend, a group getting ready to hit the town, OR for a night cap. it's so versatile - it can be whatever you need it to be. Like the Room of Requirement, only boozier. The crew gets SO creative with their cocktails - we've sipped on ones featuring pho-infused agave, chicken schmaltz-washed bourbon, carrot and pineapple foam, pandan - and they're always switching it up seasonally and I can not WAIT to find out what's coming this fall. Cocktails range from $15-20, pretty similar to most of the neighborhood, but they are STRONG. I started buzzing after 2 the last time I went. I love this for the jump-off to a night out or, as a mother of 3 who's hustling home for the babysitter, a one-stop shop. Added bonus: you can order food delivered to the bar! Pro-tip, if you get pizza share with the bartenders. If you order South Sichuan you just might melt from the SPICE level. No matter what you're doing with the night, you're gonna have a great time AND a few great bevs!

    Conflicted experience for our pre-game here before taking in a concert…read more First off, there are not many options in this part of the city for bars which is located across the street from Union Transfer (small concert venue). As we were attending a show at 8pm at Union Transfer we met up for a drink and some food at Poison Heart. The vibe is a very darkly lit bar, heavy grunge music (think screaming, all screaming and rage), and a movie on a large screen in black and white from what looked like the 1950's. I started with the Yamanote Line (Midori, Japanese vodka, Tequila, Honeydew & citrus, bubbles). This drink packs a punch and I enjoyed it; it is a bit too sweet to have multiples of the drink, so I moved on to the Trouble Boy. Trouble boy consists of a Thai tea infused mezcal, aged rum, coconut, orange & lime, and nutmeg. Again, the drink was a bit sweet and now I am in for $32 for two drinks. They have interesting drinks for sure, but my gut told me they may be trying too hard to find a killer drink as neither of these really spoke to me except on raising my blood sugar pretty severely (I can watch in real time as I have a dexcom blood glucose monitor that shows my sugar). On to the food. Again, very interesting items. I went with the Keeg Veeg (fried eggplant, long hots, pickled carrot, cukes, cilantro, black bean paste & vega sriracha mayo). Now this item definitely cleaned out my sinuses. I only ate half as I didn't love the seeded bread. The sandwich reminded me of a Vietnamese hoagie. I enjoyed it but didn't love it. My friend got the Gary Cooper, which is a hand cut ribeye burger. The burger appeared to be very small but looked good. Couple tips based on my experience, do not get the Oyster River dry cider, my friend said it tasted like oysters and he had to send it back as it was undrinkable. All in all, the place wasn't bad but after the concert we had a choice to go back to this place or walk about half a mile to the nearest bar and that's what we did. The four of us each getting two or so drinks per person and some bar food came out to $267. This one is a one and done for me, but I appreciate they have some unique items on the menu.
