Chicken wings were flavorfully done well and cooked right but I could only choose one flavor because it would be too much for them to do more than one flavor. Would be good to add that to the menu. At 1.50 per wing for 10 wings, two flavors to try would've been nice. There was only one server/bartender for the entire place. The upstairs was open but no one was using it. Free pool and mini arcade machines and maybe a dartboard I didn't see sounded fun. You have to go behind a curtain and upstairs. I went with a friend and it happened to be karaoke afternoon. I sung alright and my friend, who used to sing professionally, thought I would do horrible but I held my own and improvised. A couple of females liked my singing- I'll take it. Strangelove definitely is lgbt friendly. I sense there are some regulars here . Some women wanted to take my seat when I was up to sing and my friend could've moved over one but he wanted my specific seat saved. The women he told me about apparently didn't ask and one tried to demand and another just laughed it off (in what sounded like a how dare you be so pedestrian without saying it) and didn't want to argue. My wings were packed well as there were some napkins put at the bottom of my ToGo bag since there was leaking sauce and it saved the bag from getting soaked over. These extra napkins definitely made a 4 star experience a 5 for me. I enjoyed the wings enough that there is no picture and they are all gone now. Sorry! I was at a Yelp Event earlier this day. So I only ordered out because I really wanted to try their wings and not actually ate there. read more

The food is delicious. Portion sizes are great. I love that they have over 30 wing flavors. The service is always pleasant when it comes to customer service. Sorry I don't know your name, but the Black guy with the glasses is really kind. In terms of speed, I did feel like my order was forgotten about but that's usually when I'm there for an event. I also love that they host entertaining events like comedy shows, bingo, and painting with a twist. It's a vibe on the inside. The lighting is very calm, on the dimmer side, and it's dope. I love the lightbulb fixtures. The upstairs is pretty comforting with the sofas. read more

I went here for an event. They have a very comfortable room for events upstairs (walk all the way to the back of the restaurant and head up). There's a nice full bar upstairs, along with comfortable couches and chairs. The location is very convenient if you're hanging out in the city shopping, or if you are looking for a very friendly bar with good bar food. The decor is very warm, and comfortable. I was fortunate to have a conversation with the owner. Very humble gentleman who is very focused on providing a comfortable establishment with great service. There's plenty of televisions around the bar (downstairs and upstairs). Parking: There a secure garage directly across the street and metered parking nearby also. I'm looking forward to visiting again. Give them a visit. read more

Cool vibe and good food. The place is small and seat yourself and then order at the bar. Not sure if this is always the case or just on slow times. It's a pretty extensive menu to order at at the bar all the time. On Tuesday they have an all day Taco deal for 2 tacos for $10 and Marg for $5. They also have a pretty decent Happy Hour on bogo well drinks. You can get 2 singles or 1 double. The well liquor is bottom bottom shelf but it's two for $7 so can't complain at all. The staff was friendly and food came out fast and was very good! Bartender had the music going, it was fun! read more

Cool bar/restaurant. Walked in on a Saturday night before a show at City Winery, gave ourselves an hour and a half to eat-the kitchen was so quick we didn't need that much time. Only downside is they don't have a typical server type set up, so you have to order at the bar. Place had an upstairs, as well, not sure if it is for catered events or for when they get busy. Food was good, staff was cool, would definitely consider returning when in the area. read more

Decent selection of craft beer - there was a delicious sour at the time my husband and I went, along with some nice Christmas beers. Didn't get to try the wings but seems to be something they're known for, so next time we would give those a try! read more

Cute bar. Everything is ordered at the bar. Happy hour deals are very reasonable. The Mac and cheese balls I ordered were unfortunately cold in the center. The crispy Brussel sprouts were AMAZING. The truffle fries lacked enough truffle for me. I enjoyed the sliders greatly. Their cocktails are unique and delicious. The servers are decently quick at the bar and very kind. I will definitely be back for happy hour. read more

The food was good but it took a ridiculous amount of time to get our food. The place was packed and they only had one poor guy delivering the orders. You had to place your order at the bar and then sit and wait. It took well over an hour for our whole table to receive all our food when we all ordered at once. I received mine first and there was about a half an hour between me getting my food and the next person getting theirs. I probably wouldn't go back. read more

Kind of disappointed in my recent experience at Strangelove's. Went in for lunch and ordered their honey/jerk wings. The wings were very small and very overcooked and were just... dry. I do like the ambiance there and enjoy that they have a small free arcade in back (although some of the machines were not working). I think there is a lot to work with here, but all the potential has yet to be realized. read more

Food was good. Drinks were good. It just took so long to get our drinks and our food. Waiter was nice. We were in town for the Flower Show.We really want to take that long for lunch. All we did was wait. read more

Strangelove's is the perfect place to grab a drink or bite with friends on a weeknight or weekend. The cozy lighting and exposed brick make for a beautiful environment, and the menu variety offers something for all. They boast an offering of over 30 wing flavors. We opted to just do drinks here, and we were not disappointed. I grabbed a cookie butter old-fashioned (topped with a Biscoff cookie), and my guest grabbed a milk stout. The old fashioned was a fun, sweet take on a classic cocktail. Our bartender was attentive and friendly, and the bar never got overly loud. Great spot! read more

This was such a cute place! Lots of seating and you seat yourself. Scan a QR code to get the menu and go up to the bar to order drinks and food. Service was quick and everyone was super nice. We got the Cajun fried shrimp with fries and were a bit disappointed- it didn't really have any Cajun seasoning; it just tasted like regular fried shrimp. Overall, good place to stop by for a drink and some bar food! read more

This is def your neighborhood bar. I enjoy the expansive menu with vegan and veggie options. They have an amazing draft beer selection. The service is chill but attentive. Faster than you think and they open early so best time to hit them up because I can tell they get packed. They do have event nights. I hope they create a gift card option. My vegan Dad and Omnivore Mom got cash to go here to satisfy both their pallets. I would return! read more

One of my best friends hosted her 30th birthday here. They closed off the back, raised area of the dining room for our group, which was a great space for mingling with ample room to stand, sit, and chat. We were particularly impressed with the quality of the food. The Obnoxiously Loaded Nachos were exactly that--delicious! We enjoyed drinks, bites, and each other's company all evening. I'd gladly visit again to try more of the menu. read more

Not bad. I wasn't very impressed with the sandwich, but the drinks were good. The place was loud too. I tried the passion fruit and blackberry libations and ordered the crispy chicken sandwich. The service was average. I intended to order another drink, but the waitress didn't check back with me, so I decided to leave after finishing my meal. read more

Full disclosure: I'm not a big drinker. I stopped into Strangelove's to meet up with friends and ordered a cranberry juice with truffle fries. The staff was sweet and outgoing, promptly taking my order and closing out my tab right when I asked. The ambience was laid back but classy; not a dive bar or overly bougie. I discovered that on the second floor there were additional restrooms and a second bar/dining room. The truffle fries were pretty good; covered in Parmesan with what tasted like a truffle aioli. I didn't know what to expect, maybe something like poutine. This was not that; just fries and dipping sauce. A man at the bar shared some roasted Brussels Sprouts drizzled in balsamic and those were very yummy. I talk to everyone and another gentleman told me he was enjoying his wings. The thing I loved about this bar was the free arcade in the back! Mortal Kombat II and III, Pac-Man, Rampage, more. I killed some time getting my butt kicked and laughing about how bad I've become. My group had a good time here, so stop by if you're in the area. read more

We've been there a few times just for drinks. We stopped by because I wanted to have one of their June specials. I LOVE cosmos, unironically, so I needed it. I don't think it's still on the menu, but if it is, skip it. It was really not good, tasted like over sweet juice concentrate with no lime bite. On the other hand, the beer is always good and the hard seltzers are usually my thing so theres always something on the menu for me. The atmosphere is good, too! read more

This was such a random find and the best find. We were walking, got hungry, and randomly chose it from a lair of restaurants close by. Idk if we were hungry and tired or this place was just amazing, but this place was amazing. The bartender was lovely, the food was great, we came during brunch time on a Saturday and practically inhaled the food in our plates. A okay is that it's very very cute as well. My plant girlies, you'll like this. It has the warmest lights a bit of a dark vibe as well. I highly recommend! read more

Updating to add that the service has remained terrible. Very slow, the bartender has an attitude, and the bar back and new food runner are always lost. The old Tuesday night bartender was fantastic, but the new staff cannot keep up. Strangeloves needs to add additional staff and/or train their staff better. read more

Great service, drinks and wings. Went for a drink and they were comic's performing. The line up was awesome!

I was visiting Philly for Wrestlemania. I saw reviews and looked like a dive bar atmosphere so I went. We had to order at the bar and the server brought the food to your table. The bourbon drink to start was very good. Good balance and def one of the better bourbon drinks I had. The cheesesteak steak with fries was good. Wasn't a jump at my amazing meal, but good. Overall, it was a strange location. It's def tight and you may not get a table all the time. read more

FOOD I came for an event and had their sliders and buffalo wings. The sliders were pretty standard, but their wings were the star of the show. They were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and the sauce coated each wing flavorfully. Definitely on the messier side to eat, but one of the highlights on their menu for sure. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly. AMBIANCE It's pretty lively inside. The place is filled with people casually meeting with friends or formally getting together either on the base floor or upstairs in the reserved area. The spot is popular among Jefferson students to host their events. read more

Cool little hipster dive bar. Was walking around, was super hot outside, went in to get a cold beer. I saw jai alai was on the menu and I inquired how this particular beer from Tampa is on the menu at a bar in Philly. Well the proprietor who was serving me said she is from Orlando and she likes this beer. Instant friend. The atmosphere is cozy nice, some lady walked in inquiring about a job and she thats when I heard it was a very lesbian forward bar which is fine with me, I'm not lesbian, nor am I female, but I do like beer and chicken wings and both were tasty. I like this place and would recommend. Nice neighborhood bar. read more

Went for a late dinner with my coworkers and we were glad to hear they still serve food till 11pm. We ordered separately at the bar then they brought the food out--the bartender had some of us pay once we ordered but others he said we could pay at the end so we were a bit confused. I got the vegan chickpea tacos and the chickpeas were puréed like hummus with pico de gallo and pickled onions on a cold corn tortilla with a side of tortilla chips and a spicy salsa. Just very mediocre, but I was starving and ate it all. Others said for the price the portions were small, and the fries were very salty. Good place for cocktails, maybe not food. read more

Went here for drinks, honestly don't recall if I even got food...part of that might be that it's been a while since I went, but part of that also may have been because I spent the better part of 1.5 hours just sitting there, either waiting for a menu, waiting for my order to arrive, waiting for someone to clear the table, and waiting for them to bring a check over. Even after getting up and getting the bartenders' attention, they still proceeded to leave us ignored for significantly longer than necessary. Sure, it started to get crowded when we were trying to leave, but if a place is that understaffed, then it's clearly not an issue exclusive to us. Other diners who left before us also seemed to have to get up and hail a bartender over like they would a cab. The place is a nice, dimly lit bar with lots of wooden accents all across the floor, walls, tables and ceiling, and it definitely had that old bar sensation to it, walking in. The drinks themselves were acceptable, but their appearance was a little disappointing. read more

Had the worst dining experience I've ever had here. The food was terrible. cold, and gave my partner food poisoning. Our waiter was a kind young man, but when we had an issue who I'm assuming the manager is came over and basically scolded us. Raised the prices of our items on the recipt, and when we noticed she yelled at us some more about how she can raise the prices when she wants to. After some back and fourth, us being calm and her yelling, she finally lowered the prices. We payed and left. Absolute worst ever experience I've ever had and will always tell people to stay away. I don't understand how this is the same place that gets good reviews. read more

Our first visit, based on yelp reviews, and not disappointed! Great atmosphere, although as a non eagles fan it was a bit tough on SB weekend, but I survived! Bartenders were very friendly and ordering at the bar was simple. Greet happy hour deals and food was delicious! Had the sliders and truffle fries as well as the Mella's Mozzarella Chicken sandwich. Met the owner who was very friendly and enjoyed the free wings! Will definitely be back! read more

This is one of my favorite bars to play quizzo! 8 pm on Monday nights and the host picks really great questions that you can almost figure out / use context clues like jeopardy if you don't immediately know. Also keeps it really fun. The bartenders do get a bit overwhelmed at this time as it's very busy, but definitely worth it! This is a cozy local bar. The wings are outstanding. They have 30 flavors and they're all good. I also ordered a burrito last time that hit the spot. read more

The vibe is very dive bar meets hipster bar, which is kind of fun and unique. They had an old black and white movie playing as well as another TV playing Bob Ross. - Music is good. The vibe really kicks up after happy hour. Pros: - They have happy hour Mon-Fri 4-7pm, which is a great timeframe, and you can sit anywhere, not at the bar like at most places. - The mac and cheese balls are very good- they taste kind of like mozz sticks, as they're served with marinara. - The pulled pork sliders are good-- like a 3.9/5. Cons: - There are no happy hour cocktails; you can get well drinks (we got a margarita each) but they're not good-- I'd rather waste the calories on a full price cocktail each. The avocado fries are actually fried avocado. It's unique but I wouldn't order again. read more

There's something for everyone! I loved the vegan meatball parm special and my boyfriend got the honey garlic parmesian wings which were one of 30 flavors. The tvs create an ambiance that sucks you in (I never knew how interesting barwatch and Bob Ross were) and there's a space in the back where you can sot at a large table and have your own tv right next to their free play arcade. Is this real? Love it and will be back. read more
