Recently moved to this city from L.A & being Mexican American myself, I have had a hard time finding good Mexican food . The carnitas tacos & nachos are delicious! The best Iv had in Philly so far!

This stylish corner bar has transformed an old-style taproom into an aspiring gastro-pub with microbrews , Quizzo nights, grilled "toastie " sandwiches , and arugula salads with blood orange vinaigrette . Read more

Egg biscuit sandwich with pork garlic sausage . Very good and hit the spot for Sunday brunch . Good beer selection and it seems to change often. We didn't have any cocktails but they looked interesting

Laurie Satran

One of my two favorite neighborhood bars . Good, comforting food , cool and attentive staff , a little noisy , but the beer selection makes up for it. Try the carnitas . They will make you happy.

Joe Ulrich

Try the Founders Breakfast Stout - Perfect companion to the fig tart . Brewed with oatmeal , Kona and Sumatra coffee , and dark chocolate , this Michigan masterpiece is amazing!

Merida S

Loud at night. If you order their crab fries (now known as the "appetizer formerly known as" thanks to Chickie's and Pete's patent lawyer ), they are great but spicy . Goat cheese salad pairs well .

Joe Ulrich

Try the Cornmeal Crusted Oysters - Great small plate ! Served with caramelized Brussels sprouts , beer mustard , and an awesome bacon/red onion marmalade !

Burt Benson

Food is some of best pubfood in the area. The execution of service is well done, but beware, the customer service is hipster style (ie competent, but they could care less about interacting with you.)

Joe Ulrich

Try the carnitas tacos - ¡Delicioso! Braised pork , pickled red onions , jalapeño , queso fresco , cilantro , and lime on grilled corn tortillas . Excellent preparation and flavors!

Joe Ulrich

Try the Southern Tier Oak-Aged Pumking - Awesome seasonal Imperial Pumpkin Ale from Western NY! Pumpkin pie filling and spices with that amazing toastiness of OAK!!!

Vidas

If you are into fried cheeses (and who isn't), the Mac and Cheese Fritters are possibly one of the best things I've ever eaten. The Fried Goat Cheese salad is also ridiculously delicious. Try 'em!

Joe Ulrich

Try the Crispy Chicken Wings - Amazing! Dripping with "Dixie BBQ" sauce. Sweet, crunchy, and a bit of spice. I ordered the honey-buttered cornbread on the side!

Joe Ulrich

Try the Spinach And Walnut Pesto Flatbread With Roasted Mushrooms And Sharp Provolone - Wow!! Fantastic flavors! Earthy, creamy, nutty--stop me now!!

Joe Ulrich

Try the Yards Thomas Jefferson Ale - Another great selection from our Philly brewery ! TJ is a strong English style ale with nice hops and malts . #colonialseries

Larisa Grollemond

Food can be inconsistent, but the black bean burger is great, and the draft list is always changing!

Thrillist

You can load their 1/2lb Angus patty with bacon / mushroom / cheddar , Maytag blue/ caramelized onions , or truffle mayo and a poached egg . Read more

David Howland

Cheap beer at happy hour and the food is A+. Particularly the nachos and the Mac and Cheese Carbonara .

Philadelphia Magazine

That charming little neighborhood bar brings neighbors of all different hoods together. The food is amazing, but the drink selection is what made it one of Philly's best bars . Read more

Joe Ulrich

Try the Steamed PEI Mussels - Bacon lardons, melted leeks , lager broth, and a grilled baguette with roasted garlic aioli ! Amazing!

Philadelphia Magazine

So tiny, but such a nice selection of drinks. And despite being packed with non-neighborhood people, it somehow maintains the vibe of the neighborhood bar it wants to be.

Joe Ulrich

Try the St. Somewhere Caroline - A coffee saison-yes, I said that! Awesome farmhouse saison with notes of roastiness. Funky and flavorful!

Joe Ulrich

Try the Seasonal Arugula Pesto Flatbread - Delicious--with sun-dried tomatoes , oil-cured olives , and fresh ricotta !

Joe Ulrich

Try the Carolina Bbq Pulled Pork - Y'all gonna love this! Sweet and smokey sitting atop jalapeño cornbread with buttermilk slaw ! Hmmm hmmm hmm!

Joe Ulrich

Try the Steamed PEI Mussels - Incredible!! Bacon lardons, melted leeks , lager broth, and a grilled baguette with roasted garlic aioli !

Joe Ulrich

Try the Chorizo Biscuits And Gravy - Few days ago. Great brunch item with beers ! Comes with two eggs any style-I had poached!

John Boysen

Our favorite place to go for Sunday brunch . Best bloody marys ever

Joe Ulrich

Try the Spanish Chickpea Soup - ¡Ole! Puréed chickpeas and cumin with olive oil and topped with parsley . Simple and delicious!!

Barrett Lane

Famous for "Pork Me Sundays" and other fun weekly specials . Recently doubled in size to serve their loyal patrons.

Philadelphia Magazine

A neighborhood bar that appeals behind its borders. And they always have cool events . Read more

Brittany Hulse

Upstairs is the best. Monday nights is quizzos and a blast! Also the crab fries are pretty amazing.

Joe Ulrich

Try the Angus Burger With Gruyere , Caramelized Onions , And Sauteed Mushrooms - Oui, Si, Yes!!! Nothing else to say!

Rose

Liz and Jay are ridiculously rad. If you have the opportunity to drunk upstairs, feel honored if you're getting drinks from them.

Oyinkansola Ayobiojo

Yummy. The burritos were large and really good. The service could be way better.

Philadelphia Magazine

"The melting pot of bars , where everyone's friendly and the food, drinks and service are consistent."

Joe Ulrich

Try the Crispy Pork Rillette Sandwich - Toasted sourdough , beer mustard , pickled radishes and shallots . Amazing!!!

Sophia H

Pretty limited selection of food and beer . Mostly burgers and pale ales - I'm not a fan of them, but if you like them, then this place is for you

Lamont Jackson

Came here for brunch , very tasty!! The biscuits are on point

Joe Ulrich

Try the New Holland Four Witches - Tasty black saison from great MI brewery ! Find it, and drink it!

Joe Ulrich

Try the Founders Breakfast Stout - Oatmeal , dark chocolate , Kona, and Sumatra coffee ! Any questions?

Sidecar Bar and Grille’s kitchen gives its eats a homey spin with house-made corned beef brisket and Cajun sausage while the bar hosts weekend DJs .

Kate Jacobs

I know they have a lot of good beer , but they also make (fittingly) an EXCELLENT Sidecar. With a sugar rim.

Tristan Rhodeside

Seems like they have a really great happy hour , but I can't recommend the brunch

D Renee

Love this place!!! Can't go wrong with anything!! The mussels are my favorite though!

Joe Ulrich

Try the Spicy Black Bean Soup - Amazing! Topped with sour cream and cilantro . Perfect in a chilly nite!!

E C

Good for drinks. Scaled down their menu and no longer have many of the salads and dinner options

Kate Heinen

Was really looking forward to eating here but apparently they only serve brunch on the weekends from 9-3, however the menu suggests that the full menu is still offered. Service was pretty terrible too

KDiva

Great selection for Brunch and friendly service

Rich

The huevos ranchero are fantastic for brunch !

Joe Ulrich
