This place rocks. The owners Brad & Mike are great. Stephanie the bar mgr never forgets a name. If they don't have what u want on tap try the bottle selection. The bottle selection is wicked.
THIS IS A BAR don't be fooled by it looking like a beer take out with the best selection on this side of the city.Everyone who works here is awesome,so come in grab a beer from the fridge and hangout!
If you like craft beer, this should be your first stop. If you don't know that you like craft beer and want to see what the fuss is about, this should be your first stop.
Bree TrooshieJuly 5, 2015Hands down favorite bar in Philadelphia. The atmosphere is always comfortable, the food is always fantastic, great beer choices, and the bartenders are awesome
RCMay 10, 2016Very awesome and chill place. If you can't find a beer to drink here, you don't like beer. The food is fairly good too and they have TouchTunes!- Christian MassiFebruary 24, 2013Every beer you never had before that you can fall in love with. A beer lover's paradise. Truly unique in a section of the city that gets redundant with "obscure"
- Brandon ChristopherNovember 18, 2012Excellent staff who are pretty knowledgable about their selection. Amazing beer list with a wide variety of stock from the mundane to the obscure. A beer lovers paradise.
- NinaDecember 2, 2012Bill is freakin awesome!!! My boyfriend and I were just bar hopping and bill recommended the mussels and was just super nice and cool. We will be returning due to the beer selection & friendly staff!

Alex SpencerSeptember 1, 2014KARAOKE on the 2nd & 4th Thursday of every month 9p-1a, with Dr Thunder, costumes, group songs, huge song selection, fantastic food and your choice of 700 beers!
Philadelphia MagazineNovember 18, 2013Grab a beer from the almost 700 available, watch some sports on the humongous TV before heading upstairs for foosball. What more do you need?” Read more
One of the most comprehensive beer selections in the city. Look out for the Ballast Point Habanero Sculpin. Spicy deliciousness.
Great beer selection, good food and kitchen is open later than some other spots in the area.
Have a few bottles at the bar. The prices are pretty amazing compared to the rest of the neighborhood, plus the Sunday/Monday bartender is pretty awesome!
Rich JohnsonDecember 15, 2013How do neither of these bartenders working at a "bottle bar" know how to pour most bottles!! I drink a lot beers with sediment, obliviously they require a swirl. Which should be known if working here!
DK DavisNovember 10, 2012Very nice. Great selection of bottled and canned beer. Also bar and upstairs area (gallery, lounge).
Great staff!! Great beer selection!! Quizzo's got some kinks to work out but it was excellent fun! AND the events so far are awesome!
Great staff, great food, definitely great beer selection... amazing spot to Jus chill at or a first date.
Rebecca KeytMay 10, 2018Bar is owned by a friend of mine. Super chill place. Best beer in fish town!
Jake SteinermanMarch 22, 2015Don't stop at the huge beer fridge right when you walk in. The menu here is excellent.
- Luke DNovember 16, 2012Awesome bottle selection! Atmosphere leaves a little to be desired (a lot of bare walls), but there's no better place to come for beer in fishtown.
Jake SmithAugust 26, 2015There are discarded beer packs next to the register to assist you in carrying home your alcoholic purchases.
Brain DwyerDecember 23, 2012Russian river supplication for $14.50? Best price I've ever seen in philly.
TernerApril 12, 2013Tim is the best! Tell him what you like, and he'll make some kickass recommendations.
Huge selection of beer and 10% off make your own six packs
Only place I know that sells Sly Fox Ichor, one of the best beers ever. Try it.- Best beer garden in the city. Best selection around
Great beer selection, knowledgable staff! Great bar and lounge areas as well.
- Luke has small balls! But he still loved by all patrons!
