My husband and I went for dinner and to listen to some live music and were not disappointed at all!!! The place was packed but we had called ahead and was able to reserve a table. The food was very good. The place has a great vibe and the band that was playing that night was amazing!! Will def be back next time we're in town! read more

I slid in here last Friday to listen to the jazz band that was playing. My experience was with the bar part. I ordered a Franziskaner Hefeweizen, which is about as close to heaven as you can get in a glass. Unfortunately they had tappus interruptus(a horrible condition only matched by the other well known interruptus), which resulted in much foaming and bad pours. So I ended up seguing into a Paulaner dopplebock called Paulaner Salvatore. Sweet sweet double bock. Then the bartender got the Franziskaner going so he gave me a .5L on the house. And of course that one was so good I had another. The decor was really nice. I did feel a little out of place since it appeared that several business people were there snorting cabernet sauvignon and such. The band was pretty good. I wish I'd stayed around for another set, but I probably wouldn't have made it home if I'd drank anymore there. Not to mention I had to fulfill my weekly visit to Long In The Tooth. All in all the bar wasn't bad. I can't speak for the food, the absinthe or the whiskey bar. Though now that I know about the whiskey bar, I may go back for that. read more

I was dragged here on a Friday night for a friend-of-a-friend's birthday party. I would have rather used the money for the $5 cover to buy a couple of specials at Dirty Frank's (where we moved to shortly after arriving). It was crowded, the DJ upstairs wasn't spinning anything I either recognized or liked, and my weak whisky/coke was served to me in a plastic cup. What I'm saying is, this a real classy joint. I want this place to be cool. It's part jazz club, part sports bar with a good selection of brown liquor, and an upstairs club for people who want to dance or sit in an ad-hoc VIP looking area. But on a busy Friday, all of its formats fall flat on their face. It's really just a college bar, and I didn't even like those places in college. I'll probably try again on a calmer night to see if the Jazz band is worth a damn. But otherwise, there are at least 2 places near that block of Sansom where I'd rather be. read more

Time... where do I start? Don't waste your time at Time, seriously. The menu needs a revamp, an adjustment on pricing wouldn't hurt either. Last night I got the burger because the restaurant week menu sucked. WTH are bars participating in restaurant week now? What's that about? Another topic for another time.... Anyway, nothing about my food or drinks were legendary enough for me to be like, "let me spend all of my measly earnings here and laugh my pain away". No, time owes me money and the two hours I spent there last night. Oh and I want my cover back. That burger was so damn dry... kinda like when you accidentally dive mouth first into some sand dry. I totally get where they were going with the burger but they still haven't arrived. Perhaps try some avocado or something. I don't know, I'm not a master burger maker, but I eat enough to know that wasn't worth $15. Also I love how the waitress is incognito the entire night, GIRL. We finally flagged her down at 10:52 for her to tell us the kitchen was closing in 2 mins. HONEY, DARLING, MISS... what kitchen closes at 10:54 ever? ALSO who closes a kitchen that early on a Friday night? So i dont know, skip Time if ever invited. lol read more

This is such a fun place. They have live jazz music and the second floor has a dance floor with a disco ball. Talk about variety. If you love liquor, this is the perfect place. They have a great selection of whisky and tequila that I would highly recommend. There's not much more you can ask for. read more

I feel that Time has to be analyzed on two levels: as a regular bar, and then as an absinthe bar. As a regular bar, it's pretty good! During Center City Sips (that's Wednesday cocktail hours during the summer, if you didn't know), Time offers a very nice German Whitbier for $2. I'm a pretty happy camper whenever I'm drinking a $2 beer that isn't PBR! The servers are efficient and friendly, and there's not too much of a crowd, but it's not deadly silent either. (Plus, if you were ever there when it was Ludwig's, you'll be amazed at the remodel.) Now, Time's schtick these days is that there's an "absinthe bar" upstairs. It's just a simple open dance space with a little bar at the end. And house music. House music and house dancing have nothing to do with my "From Hell"-inspired rococo absinthe bar fantasies. If I can't pretend I'm drinking absinthe with Jack the Ripper in seedy old London, then I'm not going to bother drinking absinthe! (which is usually pretty foul stuff, my friends) So, to conclude: Time the bar, a decent place to get a drink. Time the absinthe bar? Skippable. read more

The venue is in 3 sections: 1st fl to the left is a jazz bar, 1st fl to the right is a dive bar ish type of place and the 2nd fl is a dark dark room with couches and a dance floor. The 2nd fl is open on weekends only, it seems. The jazz bar is a real entertainment. Both sections on the 1st floor share the same menu so you can totally enjoy their fantastic fries wherever you sit. I'm telling you, the fries are soooo good. AND it's only 5 bucks. Only if I wasn't wired to think that eating fried food after 10pm is something ridiculously bad (thanks, mother), I'd be having these fries every night after work. WITH Franziskaner! I love their draft beer choices. They even have gluten free beer on tap...can't remember the name at the moment. If you like jazz and good beer on tap, go here! read more

The scene of the crime: my first date with E. November 17, 2009. There was an absinthe promotion in the jazz lounge, with $5 gin and absinthe drinks and a gypsy jazz band with cabaret dancers. This was my idea- a bit risque for a first date, perhaps, but I'm nothing if not bold. The band was really excellent and we snagged a table right next to their staging area, so we got to chat with them a bit. The Absinthe Drinkers, they were called. Their cabaret ladies were lovely as well! Over the years I have come back here so many times, and for so many reasons. There are three different areas to suit any crowd or mood- a nice, dark and cozy bar to the right with super friendly bartenders, and extensive drink list including great beer, wine, and cocktails. Literally something to suit anyone. To the left, a swanky, romantic jazz lounge that frequently features live music, and fancy silver spouts that will pour you a traditional French-style absinthe drink you could probably only find in a handful of places in the whole country. Upstairs, that's where things get dirty. Like, bachelorette night/fistpump to the music/drink your face off on cheap beer kind of dirty. It's an awesomely fun time when that's what you're game for. So as a result I've been here with my aunt and her out-of-towner therapist friends here for a conference, with E many times (dinner included, great food!), consoling a friend after a breakup with dancing and champagne, and just meeting up with people for drinks. It basically hits all the right spots and doesn't leave anyone behind. What more could you ask for? read more

This place has total split personalities. It wants to be a pub. But wait, it also wants to be an ultra hip jazz club on the opposite side. Hold up, upstairs it's time to booty shake! It's really like 3 seperatr places in one. It's hard to properly rate this place. We only peeked into the pub part, so no rating on that. We stayed in the jazz part for a good while. Pretty cool atmosphere and really great live band. I really wasn't into the drink menu at all. Being a beer or wine girl and then mixin it up with a fruity tutti girly drink every once in a while...whiskey and bourbon just wasn't doing it for this girl. So of course I just went the complete opposite and ordered a gin and tonic. I know, don't ask! What we were really mystified by was the absynthe they sell. It's an elaborate production! It comes with a small cup of the actual absynthe and this huge carafe with spouts full of water. The process of preparing the drink with the absythne/water/sugar combo is fascinating. Too bad it's kinda gross and if I did indulge I'd end up on the floor! Still...very cool they offer it. The dance club upstairs left something to be desired. Nice open space to dance, if the DJ had something good to play. I can't dance to hardcore rap. I need some hardcore Back That Thang Up music! Maybe some nights there's a better DJ, sadly not the night we wanted to drop it. I think there's hope for a relationship together. We just need to work on some things! read more

A special place with much to offer. The building has 3 unique spaces within it. On the first floor is a low-key whiskey bar with a fantastic whiskey and scotch list. Time, the restaurant has large 20 foot ceilings, low lighting and large windows that open onto the street. Often there's great jazz playing in the corner. Upstairs is Bohemian Absinthe lounge with DJs and a fairly large dance floor. Over all the atmosphere is great. Friendly people and a mix of things happening around you. The food is tops as is the service. It's a great place to go and spend the evening. Pros: great atmosphere, eclectic mix of people and music. Cons: Almost non. The music in the dinning room is great so hold your conversation for set break. Overall, GREAT spot. These people do a great job with food, entertaining and music. read more

The jazz music is good and upstairs is a dance area. You can experience different vibes in one single bar. It's always packed though.

Let me preface this by saying that if you like Jaegermeister and black licorice....this review may not be helpful to you. I'll only be attesting to the absinthe part of Time as I didn't eat the food or even sit in the restaurant side. I kind of expected the absinthe to taste like ass. I mean, seriously, the drinks claim to fame is hallucinations, there's no way that stuff is supposed to taste good. But! I'm getting ahead of myself. The service was great as we all knew we wanted to try the absinthe, but really had no idea what we were doing. So, the bartender helped us out by preparing our glass, spoon, sugar cube, water mixture. The Kubler Absinthe tastes just like black licorice (thanks to anise) and Jaeger (even with a sugar cube melted in.) In lieu of wimping out over the bad taste, and really wanting to see if there was any hallucination-y effects, I drank mine rather quickly (much to the surprise of everyone else - I ended up finishing my dates, too, as it just proved to be too much). So let's recap. Hallucinations? No. Tingly lips? Yes. Drunk? Oh, heck yes. Expensive? At $11 dollars a glass, good luck. read more

This is a review of the downstairs bar, not the absinthe bar upstairs. I'm not one for giving one stars, but on the night I was there, Time deserved no more than that. My friends and I were restaurant crawling for Foie Week. My friend made the point of calling time to see what time Time would stop serving foie. The answer was clear: 1am. We got their at about 11, having made a special stop at Time for some foie. Oh, but that 1am cutoff? No, it was really 10:30. Whomever my friend spoke with apparently doesn't know jack. Then, I was debating between different kinds of absinthe. In passing I mentioned to the bartender that I'd have taken a Lagavulin if they had it. Lo, they did, it just wasn't on the menu. Silly me, I didn't check the price. As it turned out, the Lagavulin was viciously overpriced. So, on this trip, I got overpriced scotch and no foie. This isn't a way to make a great first impression. read more

Went to Time last night, a THURSDAY, to hear a friend of a friend spinning upstairs. Funk, soul type music. Time is three different bars in one you see.The crowd upstairs was small but let me tell you these people were having fun. They were actually dancing. It was mostly women though, which is not code for "it was a gay bar". 'Cause it wasn't, it was just a bunch of straight women dancing in circles. Yes, and they have absinthe. I didn't have any but I felt very cool to merely be in the presence of such swagger. Downstairs, I liked alot. There was a live band playing some covers and some of their own songs. There was no cover charge and a pretty good beer selection. There were alot of people there and the crowd was pretty diverse (age, race etc). The third bar was more quiet and not too many people were sitting in it. I will definitely go back to this place soon. They had drink specials so I so spent a record breaking 2 bucks on each beer between 10 and 11. These are recessionista times. Yay. Oh and the bartender upstairs was cool. FYI. read more

I think perhaps there was live music on the lower levels, but when I came here I was trapped on the top floor with the DJ (or maybe it was just a DJ type of night). The music was akin to the stuff I listened to in middle school -- not necessarily a bad thing though. The dance floor was slow to be populated, but once it was it was barely tolerable -- packed and overheated. Again, not necessarily a bad thing if that's what you're looking for. Not a place I would prioritize going to, but it'll do for a night when no other plans have come to fruition. read more

The restaurant side offers a trendy but peaceful atmosphere with a tasteful wine & beer list. The menu is delicate and tasty although I'm not getting the "Vegetarian Bouillabaisse" (total incoherence for the French person I am). I, actually don't think Time should be listed as a Lounge only, there are 3 concepts in one and the West side got its stars as a restaurant. read more

I love the upscale pub/bistro atmosphere. I was a HUGE fan of Ludvigs (even with the dust/web-covered animal heads on the wall) but am reluctantly just as in love with Time. The bartenders are friendly, chatty (but not overly) and informative. The food has been spot-on for me every time, and I really like the fact that they have live music. The absinthe bar (upstairs) opens at 9 or 10 on weekends (I can't remember) and we recently took advantage of that by having a big 30-40 person birthday dinner up there before the lounge opened. They didn't even charge us for the room. Great selection of scotch and they even let me taste some. Definitely one of my go-to's when I'm feeling "pubby." read more

A friend made the recommendation.... and Time lived up to the recommendation! We arrived as they were opening.... and we were all beyond happy... excellent cocktail selection of scotch and bourbon... read more

Ah Time, the place that is part whiskey bar, part jazz club/wine bar, part dance club? It sounds weird, but it's pretty damn fantastic. As in, I've pretty much enjoyed myself every single visit. While the other sections serve their purpose well, my go to area is the whiskey bar. The best atmosphere in the house, in my opinion. it's got that darker, dingy bar feel with a pretty awesome whiskey selection. How did you guess that I love whiskey? Happy hour specials are decent, with both food and drink specials. I think the prices in general are pretty standard for that area of the city. You can certainly get spendy with the absinthe selections, but uh.... it's worth it. I'll put it that way. The small amount of food I've gotten here has been pretty good. The burger was spot on, the pulled pork mac and cheese made me excited, and the desserts that I tried were all really delicious with a side of Macallan 12 on the rocks. Amongst the huge array of 13th and Sansom awesomeness, this place stands up well. read more

It was the best of Time(s), it was the worst of times. It was the age of sobriety, it was the age of too many, it was the epoch of bourbon, it was the epoch of seltzer water, it was the season of asparagus, it was not the season of tomatoes, it was the Spring of the Phillies, it was the Winter of the Phillies, we had Yelp before us, we had Zagat behind us, we were all going direct to the Yelpy awards, we were all going direct the other way (until Vinny pulled out his google maps)--in short, the period was so far like the present period, except that we were dressed in '20's garb, and that some of the coolest Yelpers insisted on being at the pre-party at Time, for good or evil, in the superlative degree of awesomeness. Oh, and Time is a really nifty whiskey bar. read more

So I have been here a fair number of times, and having visited again recently I have decided to write my review. This place gives off great vibes. There are couple of different bars in this place but I tend to stick to the one where live music is being played. On saturdays, a jazz band plays and they are great. Time has an extensive beer, wine and whiskey list. The menu changes regularly, and the food is fantastic. I get an order fries every time I go to Time, even if I already ate dinner. Those thick-cut baddies are the bees knees. read more

Wonderful place. Chris, my waiter, knew everything about Absinthe. We were taken care of and everyone had a great time. Prices are reasonable but it's the people there, Chris, Tim and others- that make you keep coming back read more

Time was a great place to enjoy drinks and food! You walk in and you are given a choice to go left, where there is live music being played to the right where it's more of a bar feel with a juke box or upstairs with a dj and more for dancing. I thought that was awesome! We came across Time just looking for a late night bite to eat but I'm glad we found it. We first chose to go right which was the room with the juke box and sat at a booth. Our server was Sebastian and he was awesome. I ordered the chicken sandwich and my friend ordered the chicken Caesar salad. The food was amazing! As something as simple as those two dishes it truly was very good. We also got an order of French fries for the table and those were also delicious. The quality of the food was spectacular. Sebastian was on top of it with our drinks as well. After that we went upstairs to dance. The thing that I thought I was cool was each room had a different vibe to it but it all still worked at the same time. Next time I'm in Philly I will definitely be back. I highly recommend this place. read more

Time - an awesome destination. When you walk in there are two options - to the left to enjoy some live jazz, or to the right to enjoy more of a swanky restaurant/bar that had some flat panels and some sort of music in the background. Both sections had nice crowds for a Wednesday night, but my friends and I (we were 5 total) opted right and grabbed open seats at the bar. Great vibe, cool decor - we were immediately greeted by one of the most extroverted bartenders I've ever been served by. The dude was super friendly and was great with offering drink and food recommendations. At some point he was fully involved in the conversation we were having and it was as though he were out with us; some may not like this, but this guy was cool enough where you'd be fine with it. Great beer selection - had some stuff on tap you won't find at many other places. Big whiskey selection too, though I hate whiskey. Had what seemed to be all of your standard bar fare, but all the menu items offered their own Time flare. Between the five of us, we ordered the stuffed clams, burger, vegetables, mussels, and wings. I had the vegetables, and boy, do you get your share of vegetables. Served tempura style, they provide a generous serving of cauliflower, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, and some other tasty treats that I can't recall / identify. Ketchup, mayo-ish, and some Indian-esque sauce were served on the side. Very tasty, but it ended up being too much fried food for me. Everyone else loved their meals, and the mussels comes with a FULL PLATE of fries, and I do mean its own dedicated plate of fries piled high. Two beers and the veggies ran me 35 bucks - maybe a bit pricey but the experience was worth it. The live jazz section was really happening by the time we left, and I really wanted to check it out, but the night was over for me. I'll definitely go back, and this is a must for anyone who enjoys good live music (jazz is good music, I don't care what you think). read more

$5 cover for a bar in Philly? Come on! We were in the room on the right, where waitress service took forever. The place was also a bit too crowded to warrant cover, and we couldn't even hear the live music. Pass on this one, kids. read more

I went to Time on a wet summery night this past weekend. Everyone ordered absinthe and I - being the great pragmatist - also ordered some appetizers. Absinthe: not a fan, but that's probably just personal - not a huge anise lover. They certainly had a selection and the waitstaff seemed quite knowledgeable. Food: definitely a gastro-pub selection of gourmet bar food. Even though we ordered at close to midnight, they were still prompt and the food was quite good but again it was close to midnight or one and after a few drinks, cardboard pizza becomes review-worthy. Ambiance: Okay, I'm a sucker for live music - especially when that live music is a band that samples a little jazz, a little funk, and a little reggae. The music wasn't just foot-tapping worthy, it was downright hot - but then again, I'm pretty easy to please. Overall - not bad, the music certainly helped leave a favorable impression. The people were forgettable, the absinthe and music was not. read more

Best burger I have had in Philadelphia. Destroys Village Whiskey in my opinion. Just absolutely fantastic. Though I was drunk. Take this with a grain of salt, but not a huge vat that they put the burgers at ShakeShack in. The fries accompanying it were very good as well, with good dipping sauce. I enjoyed this experience very much. Conscientious staff: asked me how the burger was (before I had even taken a bite), and then followed up and actually asked the question later. Great service, and it was busy too. The beer selection is very strong too, but pricey for what some of them are. read more

They have a pretty decent happy hour menu. I was extremely lucky to find metered parking right in front. I love the set up with the large circle bar area. Major plus they have live music which added a nice touch to the place. read more

So many ways that one could interpret the name of this restaurant (/whiskey bar/music venue/taproom). I could spend a lot of TIME there around happy hour, when the drinks are slightly cheaper and the mini mac and cheese flows like water (it is... so good.) I've spent far too much TIME waiting in the enormous lines on the weekend, trying to get inside so that I can climb around my fellow patrons and spend some serious TIME waiting for drinks. TIME is money. Namely, $5 cover. And that.... well that generally sucks. I must admit, the first TIME I visited Time, it was early evening and the drafts were $1 off for happy hour. The draft list was impressive, the bartenders knowledgeable and friendly, and the patrons all respectable, either enjoying some quiet conversation or sharing a small plate or two. My buddy and I enjoyed the mini mac and cheese, and I probably could've physically eaten at least two more (though, in my mind, I just went ahead and assumed I could eat the whole pot.) I saw one man reading the newspaper, another woman working on her iPad, and I thought "wow, what a nice, dark, intimate spot for chit chat and drinkies." Fast forward a few weeks later, when it was a friends birthday and she chose Time as the hot-spot du soir. She wanted to bring ALL of her friends, and that was a lot of people. We gradually drifted over to Time around midnight, and I was blown away by the din of the crowd. And that was just the line outside. IDs were checked slowly but surely, and there was a steady circulation of customers, but it definitely took a while to wait it out. She wanted to dance, so I followed her upstairs and IMMEDIATELY scampered back down. The crowd was overwhelming, the heat hitting me like a wall, and not a mini-mac & cheese in sight... I imagine that, had I been several drinks deep and looking to get hot and sweaty with some strangers, Time would've been the place to be. But I was not, and (for me) it was not. read more

I stopped in here for a quick drink because I heard some music playing from outside. Before I could even step inside I was promptly pushed by the bouncer who couldn't bother to take his head out of his phone until I walked right by him. No reason to lay his hand on me at all. He wasn't even dressed like a bouncer. Ok, so despite that I go into the bar. Good beer list but fairly expensive overall. The appetizers were reasonably priced overall. I went with the fries and they were ok. The free live music was a nice touch and a good volume for the room. On the way out the same dude was laying back against the guardrail with his hand in a bag of popcorn just checking his phone. Way to guard the parking lot top gun. The whole bouncer situation left a sour taste in my mouth. Plenty of other good spots if you want good beer, good music, and no lame bouncers. read more

Incredible tap and whiskey selection. Cool location. Surly but funny bartender. Horrible band. Check it out, pretty cool if you are in the area or are staying at a downtown hotel and dont want to go to an out of towner bar. read more

Very trendy venue with live music that was really enjoyable. Cocktails were good and great beer selection. One side is a restaurant that we did not try and the other is the bar/band. The only reason I am not giving them 5 stars is we did have to pay $5 cover (on a weekend), but there was no room at the bar to order. The place was packed which is a good sign and there is a place to stand and enjoy the music, but I think they should have one section of the bar where you can order a drink and not sit. Every seat at the bar and the tables were taken so it was hard to order a beverage. Otherwise great place and I would go back (maybe on a weeknight if it's less busy) read more

Just not that impressive...with so many places in the city literally a block away or in the area...why even stop here... $5 cover ruins it...and drinks are NOT cheap.... Upstairs was mobbed and downstairs looked like everybody was on acid and were just bobbing their heads to the pretty bad jazz band....again i'm not trying to be mean but this place makes it hard to be nice. read more

I've been to Time on a couple occasions and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite spots to go! I've only eaten here once but the food is pretty good and there are some great food options on their happy hour menu in addition to drink specials. I've also enjoyed the live music they've had when I was there. The rest of this is more of a venting session about some people here: My last trip was some what ruined by the annoying group of hipsters next to our table, though. Really it was just one specific girl with her big glasses, weird hat, and strange sweater who raved and raved about different food choices she was looking forward to then realizing it wasn't even the right place she was thinking of (only after complaining to the waiter who insisted none of that was ever here and he's been working there for 5 years). There was also a group of guys who joined them and one talked about how he was in med school and this and that and completely failed at getting it in with hipster girl's friend while hipster girl was totally lookin' for a boning. Thank you for reading if you made it this far! read more

So, I had to visit this joint twice before giving it a review. While the first visit was great, a couple of missteps lead me to hold back the review until a second chance was given to this understated restaurant in the heart of Philadelphia. I got to Philadelphia and was craving a new place to eat since my previously favorite place went through a bit of a crisis and the fare didn't quite stand up to its past reputation. Yelp provided me with several locations in the area but, the promise of ambience and the good reviews made me select Time. I made a reservation using the app and went in for dinner around 6pm on a Friday night. I was greeted by a very inviting smile on the face of the beautiful and gracious red-headed/brunette hostess. The reason for the description instead of a name is because the hostess never gave me one. I never obtained her name on either of my visits which to me was slightly disappointing because I would have loved to recommend her to all who visit Time. As I was seated by a bus girl (who also will remain nameless for the aforementioned reason) I was handed the dinner menu along with an extensive beverage menu featuring a large selection of domestic and imported ales as well as some great specialty cocktails. The drink menu also featured a bar menu which, while limited, was still acceptable for bar-fare. A server arrived shortly after I was seated. Very polite and knowledgeable of the menu and specials and yet, as the other two people I had thus far interacted with, shall remain nameless for the same exact reason. After a bit of back an forth with the server, I decided on a 'Dark and Stormy'; a rum based drink with lime and ginger beer. As I sat there waiting for my beverage, I took note of the dimly lit room I was seated in. The ambience was perfect for an intimate night with someone special, hanging out with friends or, if you're like me, a relaxing dinner by yourself. To me it was relaxing and inviting and the welcoming atmosphere accompanied by the live music (overbearing yet, nice) was something people of all walks could enjoy. As my drink arrived, I placed my dinner order with the server. After he left the table with said order, I took my first sip of my perfectly measured, delicious beverage. The smooth, tangy and sweet concoction left me warm and happy inside. As I sat there enjoying my beverage, the server returned with a soup spoon and a plate of toasted house-made bread and caramelized garlic butter. The pairing between the perfectly toasted yet still fluffy bread and the silky smooth and rich butter was amazing to say the least. Starter: I ordered the soup special as my starter. It was a cream based bisque topped with grilled shrimp nestled on red bell peppers and drizzled with chili oil and was absolutely the perfect combination of sweet, savory and heat. The shrimp was fresh and grilled to perfection which led to it popping into juicy goodness each time i bit down on it. The dull and cold weather Philly was experiencing seemed to fade away as this bowl full of warm summer acted as the perfect pick me up. The first bite put a large smile on my face and enthusiastically dove into the rest. However, as all good things must come to an end, the feeling of euphoria I was experiencing came to a halt as I found a hair at the bottom of the bowl. I had to say goodbye to almost half of my delicious soup at that point which, nearly broke my heart. Main Course: When my Duck arrived, I was happy to see a sexy presentation. Duck being my favorite protein already had me excited when I saw it on the menu and the plate placed in front of me made me as giddy as a school girl. I dug in and that first sweet and tender bite of duck really hit the spot. It was a bit under medium but nothing unforgivable. The unexpected yet pleasant surprise on the dish was the fried pickles. They added just the right amount of crunch and tart to the dish and really added that perfect ending note to each bite. Dessert: As I polished clean my plate, the owner of the place came up and apologized to me for the hair in my soup bowl. While, I had only pointed it out to waiter just as a cautionary gesture, I was grateful to see the owner's proactive involvement in the dining experience his team was trying to provide. Of course, I would thank him by name but, the trend of name withholding continued even at the top of the food chain in this establishment. However, propriety aside, let's talk about dessert. The dessert he brought me was a flour-less chocolate cake, topped with house-made mint ice cream and sprinkled with touted cocoa nibs. Now I am a big fan of flour-less chocolate cake. I am still trying to get the recipe out of one of my co-worker's for her ex-husband's flour-less chocolate cake. This cake however, was nothing to write home about. The cake was dry, dense and chewy. The texture was too much like a frozen brownie, semi thawed. The cocoa nibs, an unnecessary garnish that added an unplea read more

Went here for the first time over the weekend and would definitely come back. The ambiance downstairs (whiskey bar) was right up my alley with a small band playing and a dimly-lit room with an amazingly over-sized chandelier. A very chill vibe. We got there early enough where we didn't have to pay a cover and were able to get seats at the bar. While I didn't order food, the drinks were up to par. It has somewhat of a romantic atmosphere to it too which was useless to me at the time being there with a friend :p While I didn't venture upstairs my friend has on numerous occasions and said it's pretty fun but can get very packed very quickly. Looking forward to going back and checking out upstairs. read more

I finally got to visit the jazz bar area of this place after hearing a lot of great things about it. I went on a Monday, so there was no cover charge, but it was still quite packed! The dance floor was full by the time I left, but the staff did a good job of remaining friendly and keeping up with a rush of drink and food orders. I ordered a Regrettable Text, a seasonal citrus cocktail. It was delicious, as was my companion's whiskey flight. The deviled eggs were close to being overly salty, but I'd rather that than too bland. The salmon crostini was AMAZING. Fresh, delicious, and you don't feel like you've wasted $11 on a tiny small plate--if you're not sharing it equates to the size of a decent sandwich, which was a very pleasant surprise. The bar snacks were so impressive I'd love to go back when the full menu is available. I don't recall the name of the band that was playing, unfortunately. They were very talented, however, and dance floor space was quickly reduced to enough room to sway with your partner in a small circle. All in all, definitely worth checking out. The high class bar snacks, expert cocktails, and atypical live music does a lot to step it up from a predictable night at the bar without completely murdering your wallet. I look forward to visiting the whiskey bar area in the future. read more

I went to Time this past Friday with a few friends. I have been before during the week and enjoyed the beer selection and atmosphere of the downstairs pub area. I have been upstairs on the weekend prior so I knew what I was getting into; 5$ cover, plastic cups,packed with the 21 year old crowd. I get it. And it's fine if that's what your looking to do. The thing that upset me is a fight broke out between a few girls (upstairs in the packed dance area) and NO ONE was there to break it up. Not a bouncer in sight. The fight brought attention to the full dance floor and began backing up. I have worked in a club atmosphere before and this is not something rare, it sucks but it happens. But there absolutely should be a bouncer posted up to over view the floor to prevent these altercations. I grabbed the bartender and asked him "is there a bouncer? People are fighting ". He promptly stopped what he was doing to find/alert one (thumbs up bartender). My biggest issue with all of this was when the bouncer came HE DIDNT KICK THEM OUT. Although they stopped fighting there was clear tension between the two groups. It made me feel unsafe like a time bomb could have gone off any moment. For the future-- people fighting should always be kicked out. It's not worth it keeping the trouble inside. It endangers everyone else and is a liability on the bar. My one star review isn't necessarily for Time overall, but just to bring awareness for better security protocol. read more

Used to love this place until tonight... Will never go again. Wouldn't let my best friend in for being "too drunk" (he has never drank in his life). Asked for a manager. Was pushed and intimated into the street. Never go to this bar... There are 10 better options in 2 blocks. read more

Time - This bouncer wouldn't let my best friend in for being too drunk (never had a drink in life). Go to a bar that treats you better. - New American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Ordered 2 drinks, total was $36?? Bartender said there was a "live music surcharge" but said nothing about it prior to seating us. Not one to usually complain but $18 drinks is ridiculous, especially at this place. Not to mention the band was on a break for 30 of the 45 mins we were there. read more
