Start the night with a cocktail and live music -- they typically have someone playing the piano, which sets the mood perfectly. Later in the evening, the Vault transforms into a nightclub, so you really get two experiences in one spot. The space itself is stunning. The velvet chairs are incredibly photo-worthy, and even the bathrooms are beautiful!! A great mix of atmosphere, music, and energy -- definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to.

Have had Fountain Porter on my radar for years now, specifically for their burger, and we finally…read morehad the opportunity to drop in and try it! Wasn't super crowded on a Sunday afternoon.. the bar seats were busy but tables towards the back were open. The burger... omg. It was so good. Perfectly cooked and juicy, and very reasonably priced. Fries were crisp and paired perfectly. They had about 15-20 beer options on draft, and a wide variety as well. Absolutely would come back, FP is officiallu among my favorite burgers in town!!

We managed to snag two stools along a counter next to the kitchen door and ordered two burgers and fries at the bar. Conversation needs to be had at the shouting level, so wouldn't recommend for a first date. Food came out pretty quickly. The kitchen could've taken another minute or so...the burgers were very rare in the center, the buns were cold (possibly right out of a refrigerator), and the fries a bit limp. The pickles were fantastic! That said, these days it's tough to beat a $10.00 burger/fries combo and it's nice to see neighbors filling a local spot. Nod to City Cast Philly for the shoutout!

Our favorite spot in Philly!…read more My husband claims that Claude AI recommended this place. We absolutely loved it! The entrance is so charming. With potted flowers all over the restaurant. Smattering of patio tables on both Eighth Street and Carpenter. When I saw it, I said yes before even looking at the menu. We ordered drinks at the bar and took them outside. It's very chic but also casual. There were mostly pairs or trios - no families. Not th. We saw people ordering a little bit of everything. Honestly, the menu looked great! The kale Caesar salad, the piri piri buffalo chicken dip, bacon wrapped plums, etc. The drinks were the best we had on our Philly trip! The Spanish Monk which had gin, lemon juice, frothed egg white and smoked paprika. I had the GGG which they carried over from their old menu. Can't remember what was in it but she said it was similar to Bee's Knees which is one of my favorite! There's self service still water and sparkling water in the back of the restaurant. Perfectly chilled. Perfectly bubbled! Such a lovely spot!

PHILADELPHIA, PA: we love ourselves a good dive bar and McCusker's Tavern perfectly fits the bill!…read more The building has been an Irish bar since 1907 and McCusker's took it over in 1968. You can feel the Philly pride in here - the walls are full of Philadelphia sports memorabilia, band posters, beer signs, and has the feel of a hometown bar. Jessie, the bartender, let us know that leashed and friendly dogs are allowed inside and that you can bring your own food (they formerly served food, but have since stopped). We had a great time watching college basketball on their big screen TV, checking out original game-used stadium seating from the now demolished Veterans Stadium, and played some old-school games in the back. They will have game nights weekly.

The bar is split with the restaurant half (though I think technically combined?) and I can absolutely see this place being PACKED for an Eagles game. Very reasonable pricing for beer. The service was superb. We happened to be there when AirBNB was there to take pictures and we requested not to be part of the photos. Not only were they super nice about it, they actually gave us free drinks for the "inconvenience" of having to move bars. And the vibe overall is great, very laid back but with tons of TVs bound to have whatever game you want to watch on. If you live in the neighborhood, this could easily be a go-to spot.

I especially like it here on a Monday's when they have a 1/2 off growlers. There's indoor out and outdoor seating you can also get specialty beers to go from the case and there's so much to choose from. I generally sit at the bar inside to get myself a couple samples of the new beers on tap just to help make a decision on what I'd like to take home. The staff is helpful, very efficient and friendly. The place is very clean well lit. Parking may be at a premium on certain days. What kept me from giving this business five stars is how food is ordered. I knew that they sold hotdogs because they're right on the counter next to the draft beer but I mentioned I needed a little more sustenance. ' we have a food menu you can order food' it was with other items next to the register. I had no idea it was food from across the street and it caused two different tabs. I should've been told is an advance in the end it was fine the pizza was good as was the beer but I would have preferred a heads up. If you use a credit card there is a $10 minimum if you get eight dollars worth of beer like I did it may have been a problem because I couldn't use my card for lack of cash! The items together were $24. When closing out trying to get to my movie the restaurant took an extended period of time bringing me my card back.
