Jen MartinDecember 22, 2015Can't go wrong if you stop here. Feels like a friends basement with a an excellent meal from Mom. Our server paid for our drinks! Super nice. Tip this staff well. They deserve it.
- Leemor YuravlivkerMay 8, 2019Vegan Philly cheesesteak was tasty. Super fresh bread. Servers were nice and it’s a fun vibe.
Erin GreenawaldApril 28, 2015Beer, tots with whiz, and arts and crafts. Need I say more? Seem to have a lot of fun events and specials nights, too!
Stacy Bo BacyNovember 12, 2023I wish I lived closer so I could be a regular here. Kind, attentive service. Everyone is smiling, enjoying the space. Lots to look at. Fun art events upstairs.
- Heather BodkinJune 3, 2013Attend at least 1 or 13 Sunday Funday Arts & Crafts events. I took my 21 year old with me to drink at her first hip bar. We had ABITAs & used pompoms, glitter & pipe cleaners to adorn our beer cozies
Gary NoeJanuary 21, 2016The beer selection is very good. But you have to get the honey wings and try their burgers! The food is totally awesome! Say hello to Ms Sarah behind the bar

Vivek VenkatramJune 30, 2017Not every bar has toys and craft supplies to play with while waiting for your drink, but then there aren't many places like this quirky South Street institution, a funky retro hangout.
Brandy BonesApril 7, 2017my favorite dive bar in philly. respectable cocktails, good beer selection, excellent happy hour deals.- Men's Health MagNovember 8, 2011All you need to know is that this place stocks the best pierogies in Philly. Order them with "a lager." (It's really Yuengling, but say it that way and they'll know you're not from around here.)
Syntax CommanderJanuary 1, 2015Great place to come in for a drink. Super friendly group of people. Amazing pickletini.
Brian FalzaranoAugust 24, 2014Nice beer selection, cool mix of people, and a very solid brunch. Awesome for a dive or any type of bar!- Mark McGowanSeptember 11, 2017The parmesan fire fries had a huge amount of garlic in the parm/sauce. More garlic than I've ever had in any food before. Wow.
Melanie JonesOctober 28, 2014A favorite, definitely. Always good for late night snacks and beer. The atmosphere and music are great.
Marie AzcuetaJanuary 18, 2015Todd makes great drinks. Say hi and maybe you get a poker chip. Also, tater tots are crispy and delicious with sriracha.- Heather BodkinJune 3, 2013Be a jukebox hero - great selection of songs and who doesn't love a jukebox? This place is great!
Andrew CJuly 20, 2016Uh... There's so much graffiti all over the wall - had no idea anything about this bar, simply followed my friends and was not enthusiastic about this place!!! BUT they do have super cheap beer
Clio BMay 15, 2011Great place to hang and meet interesting people. Remember to bring your Mom's chip or ask for one to get a discount
Rachel ShifmanMarch 23, 2017Great dive bar feel with good service and good selection of veggie snacks
- Every first Thursday (upstairs) is The Attic with DJ Foxx Boogie and the GFM crew. 5 elements of hip-hop at it's finest.
Best bar on south street. One of the best in philly.
Maggie MacGOctober 9, 2022This place is so punky and fun. The food is ok. The cocktails are quirky. The service is friendly.
- CassandraSeptember 9, 2010Best jukebox in Philly & be sure to order an Ass Basket & don't forget to ask for Sriracha! Take care of your bartenders, they're the best!
Come on the 3rd Sunday of every month for the Philadelphia Beard and Mustache Club meeting!
Taco Tuesday is the best I've had in PA. No TVs help with conversation. Good spot.
Brittany CooperAugust 27, 2010go to tattooed mom's and get their tater tots with cheese whiz.. slather it in Sriracha sauce and ketchup. don't forget your mom's chip for $.50 off
Alex MurphyMay 19, 2011The PBRs are cheap, the pierogis are delicious, the atmosphere delightfully hipster.
Crash Bang BoomAugust 11, 2013Popped up on "places people like to go after they leave Crash Bang Boom" Tattooed Mom ...smart move!
Free pool every Tuesday 8-10pm upstairs then half off drafts 10-11pm
ChristinaMay 28, 2010don't act like an asshole and get a mom's poker chip - 50 cents off of everything adds up to a free beer or two by the end of the night.
