Mike MeisnerJanuary 31, 2014Looking to kill some time waiting for your next train or bus? This place has top notch beers to make your wait that much more enjoyable!
Excellent beer list, both bottled and tap. Bartenders play music off their iPods, and have pretty good taste in music. Come for the happy hour, you can get some delicious micros for dirt cheap.
RabiahMay 4, 2014They have gluten-free items denoted on the menu and a decent selection at that. Nice surprise for this traveler. Also, very nice Bloody Mary!
Michael KauffmanOctober 7, 2016Tasty cheesesteak option with pub mornay, onions, peppers, Gouda. Solid sandwich pick in 30th Street station.
Surprise! An awesome little English style pub in 30th Street Station. Don't worry, that clock is always 10 minutes fast.
Lynx BlackstoneApril 9, 2012You Have to try the Pork Milanese. Panko breaded fried pork loin is the base of an amazing mixed spring greens salad honey citrus vinagrett
Beau HemianJuly 19, 2012In for layover beer but want a snack? Hummus is delicious. It comes with pita, a salad (with capers) and dolmas. Win-win-win
Surprising little spot in the train station. Good food, good beer. Stop in! You won't be disappointed.
Josh WardellApril 27, 2013Some really great beers on tap, surprising for a train station bar. The best spot to wait for your train.
I enjoy the people and their service. You can try many different brews here. My tip is drink, eat, be merry and tip the staff.
Amy CummingsApril 1, 2017Get the cheese fries. Oh and apparently this is one of the top ranked travel bars?
They will renember your drink. Get here before 7:30 for the happy hour snack menu. If you are running a little late the friendly staff will ask the kitchen to make an exception
Charles JohnsonOctober 4, 2011Awesome that you can pay with your phone here using LevelUp! If you use the promo code 12935 you get 5 bucks credit to start.
Swen GrahamDecember 12, 2013The Bloody Mary's are surprisingly delicious and refreshingly spicy. So I've been told.
Quite the Heavy beer selection here folks. Good place to people watch or wait for your train.
Alyce KNovember 14, 2011Wide variety of beers -- I can't appreciate them all but leave time for service before your train because it's not always "fast food" but they try hard to meet your time needs.
Kate K.September 17, 2012Ten uncommon beers on draft. Impressive for being the only place in the station that serves alcohol!
Grab a beer! They have a surprisingly good beer selection for a bar in a train station.
Erin L.March 7, 2012Great beers but food blows. Dry, sorry excuse for a cheesesteak, dry buffalo chicken sandwich, and the chickpea-edamame salad is surprisingly served hot & had a weird sweetness.
The beer. What else are you going to do when you miss your train?
Constance HowesApril 5, 2011Duck potstickers are SPICY and delicious. Best to have water and a Lancaster Milk Stout to wash them down...
Miss your train on purpose - great selection of excellent Oktoberfest-style German beers.
Bridgewater's PubOctober 22, 2013Fall is definitely in full swing! Southern Tier Pumking and Timmerman's Pumpking Lambic are on tap.
Mark paul HaaksmanDecember 20, 2011Sly fox Christmas, a very nice 'waiting for the train beer'accompagnied wit Potstickers, what else does a man want! ;-)
Check out the weekly lunch specials. And they also have good lunch menus.
jon accarrinoDecember 3, 2010There's an unmarked locked restroom to the left of the bar. Look for a key attached to an old bar tap on a table by the door.
A glass of Torrontes & the shrimp salad: the perfect prelude to the megabus...
Quan WalkerApril 17, 2012Good selection of beer with quick service. Not bad when you've arrived too early for your train.
Andy KAugust 11, 2012Don't order the "cheese steak". Also, I think they season the fries with cinnamon instead of bay seasoning..
JeanieOctober 23, 2010Come here after your hour and a half late Megabus arrives; have a drink to soothe your rage while you wait an hour for the next Regional Rail train.
Love this place. If I didn't just get foursquare, I would already be the mayor. I will reclaim my throne soon.
Rebecca GMay 11, 2017Obnoxious bartender & interior server. I've never felt so unaccomodated for wanting a glass of wine in my life. Worst bar ever.
