Standard Tap

When Standard Tap opened its doors in December 1999, our goal was simple: to create a neighborhood tavern that featured great beer and wholesome food. With that in mind, we offer a draft-only beer selection that highlights the vast array of styles crafted by breweries located in PA, NJ and DE.

The best dishes are their softshell crab sandwich , duck salad , and the Standard Burger . All of the beers are draft only, and their Bloody Mary's are some of the best in town . [Eater 38 Member]

A pioneering beer bar in Philly's Northern Liberties neighborhood , the Tap features a large, constantly rotating draft list of local beers , plus an popular and accessible chalkboard menu.

Clay Williams

The original Northern Liberties gastropub . Steampunk decor throughout a big old house. Multiple dining rooms. Great for brunch on the upstairs patio . Beer for days. Always an interesting menu.

Jaim

Almost everything I have is amazing. Their pork chop and eggs are my favorite for brunch . Love their fried clams , BLTs . Pretty much everything. My all time favorite!

Sharon Bonewicz

Awesome French toast (I like my stuff on the side), bacon avocado sandwich , and chicken pie are all awesome! Serving local brew to the local crew. Sweet!

Double standard burger with mushrooms ... Very good. Pair it with a beer flight (4x for $10) and enjoy the airy outdoor roof deck patio space

CITY GRIT

A gastropub featuring only locally produced draft beers .

Standard Tap has the finest Micro-Brew beers I have tasted in Philly. The food is excellent and so is the atmosphere. menus are on chalkboards .

There isn't standard about this tap list - it's always sure to score some rare beers to cross of your wishlist. Brunch is great too!

Sabrina

The puff pastry on the chicken pie is great and it's very meaty. But missing the gooeyness of a pot pie .

Mitch Erb

All the beer was local, didn't have exactly what I wanted in that department but the Chicken Pie was stellar - highly recommended.

Andrew

Roast pork sandwich is very good. Incredible flavor. It would be perfect if it were a little less salty.

Brian Rost

Best burgers in philly . Grilled octopus is delicious. Stewed oxtail is shockingly good.

Philadelphia Magazine

As good for draft beers on Saturday night as it is for brunch on Sunday morning. If they put out cots, some of us would just live here on the weekends.

Upstairs all day. I have been here a few times and the vibe downstairs is cold while upstairs and warm and the bartender is much more friendly .

Emily Earl

Pork sandwich is a must try. Selection of rotating taps never disappoints.

Thirsty James

Quiet on Mondays, nice so I can enjoy the chicken pot pie !

Bre Bonner

Nice bar . Good place to chill and eat some food. Try the Chicken Pie !

Nicole Checo

Went there for brunch & everything was delicious & good portions.

Aimee Viggiani

They now take reservations for the upstairs dining room. Highly recommended on the weekends!!

Lance Lacoff

Awesome beer options and plenty of local brewers on the list.

Philadelphia Magazine

What to get: The messy, drippy, delicious pork sandwich , the better-than-any-of-our-moms’ meatloaf , or the flaky, rich chicken potpie. Read more

So FYI you can't smoke on the roof... Just thought I'd help out the servers so they can spend more time being nice/helping guests than policing the smokers... Ice cream sunday melted.. #epicfail

J McGee

They have an upstairs with outdoor seating . Wish I would've known that on a perfect day like today!

Wil Reynolds

The burger is legit, beer selection is always new, its a must stop place for beer lovers.

Philadelphia Magazine

The chalkboard omelet specials can chase any hangover away, though a pint of local microbrewed beer won't hurt, either.

Philadelphia Magazine

Go on the early side—before seven—to grab one of the mondo wooden booths that comfortably fit six.
