The rustic ­ horseshoe bar was long on brown liquor , with more than 50 whiskeys . The quasi-Southern menu was ­ambitious, embracing everything from agave-­sweetened glazes to house-cured bacon . Read more

Always good music booked there. If you are going to have dinner , ask to be seated where Anthony would be your server! He has the perfect personality and knowledge to make your night a memorable one!

Jennifer Turin-Bennett

This place is amazing. Sitting outside and being able to see all the sights of the city while drinking a local brew is awesome. Food was to die for.

Michael Carrabine

Go with at least 4 people so you don't have to decide on just 1 dish. I recommend the pork duo and ribs . Even the grilled Caesar salad is delicious.

Ray Lauff

Bourbon selection is awesome, and they have Abita Lite on tap for beer drinkers.

Bre Bonner

Went here for Paint Nite and had a wonderful time. Charlie the bartender was extremely kind and welcoming.

Zac Anderson

Live music most nights. Check out Mikey Jr . and the Stone Cold Blues on Wednesday nights (which is also free parking after 5 or 6).Jess behind the bar will take great care of you!

Jim M

Sunday afternoon live blues on the 2nd floor. Go upstairs! Enjoy a bourbon with the blues . And you can keep an eye on the phillies game too.

Elaine Berry

Blues music upstairs is the best. Saw Moondog Medicine Show there and they totally rocked it! Worth the 3-hour drive!

Amanda Hernandez

Good food. Better than I expected from looking at the decor. The Beet Salad was very tasty and the filet was actually quite good.

Concierge

You can enjoy live music here 5 nights a week. If that's not your flavor, they have a separate room with shuffleboard !

Bikash Chatterjee

Sat upstairs on a Saturday night. Great blues band but way too loud . You have to scream to have a conversation . Food is very good but as far as being designed to be shared it was hit and miss.

Jessica Pugliese

The food was SO GOOD, but the overall experience was... weird. At the tables, one of the offered chairs is a really stupid rickety stool. Service was absurdly slow. Go for the food. Sit at the bar .

Jennifer Turin-Bennett

The bartender was awesome. Food was amazing. The old bay fries were to die for

Bernice Stevens

Make sure you visit Harold at the 2nd floor bar . Great convo and service. Try the brunch and biscuits & honey butter .

Elena Pappas

Mushroom truffle salad , crabcakes , ribs , truffked popcorn -- BOOM!! SO very delish

Visit Philly

You can probably already hear the music from where you're checking in, but did you know they have shuffleboard . Yes, shuffleboard .

Stephanie M

Definitely have to try the "Thyme after Thyme " cocktail .

Chromatic Dracula

Summer feelings; mason jars abound. Happy vibes and "Shazam" is a true bartender !

Jason Krupski

Good joint, comfy chairs in the front of the stage. Don't order the duck flatbread if you don't dig bleu cheese

Joel A.

Nice ambience. But as a soulfood themed restaurant their fried chicken lacked a lot of soul - too much breading , not enough flavor and not crispy enough

Jennifer Tran

Love the live jazz ! If that's not your style, play darts next room over. BYOD - they only have 2 darts .

Rob Munsch

Who needs a bread plate when they serve bacon & rosemary popcorn while you wait? Yeah you read that right.

Dan Monbourquette

A taste of the South! Blues & Bourbon !

Kelly Anne McIntyre

Great food and awesome music !!!!

Kelly Horgan

This place is trying to be upscale , but the food is not that good - the portions are small and the price is insane for what is served. Overall amateur operation. Go for drinks. Eat elsewhere
