Bardot Cafe

Super chill spot in the area. Service was quick and congenial with a nice bouncer too. Our drinks were very solid, and the space was nice as well.

Friendly & fast service paired with competitive prices, but ridiculously loud. Stop by, check it out, doubt you’ll be disappointed! And if it weren’t so loud, I’d definitely go back 🙃

Friendly, and comfy, I found Bardot’s to be a great place to grab a quick bite to eat. They have a great dessert menu. I get their Brownie, and caramel with powdered sugar every time I come in. I was impressed to find a bartender who makes their own shrubs! Shrubs are flavorings used in alcohol and non-alcohol drinks! Enjoy yourself inside or outside at their outdoor sitting area overlooking the quiet, snug, charming part of Poplar Street!

We didn't make it in time for food, but the beers on tap were plentiful. Tons of local brews represented. Bartenders were warm and helpful to tourists like us. Great part of town with lots to eat and drink nearby. This had a neighborhood pub vibe. Would go back for sure

Great spot for beer and food. They have vegetarian options which is nice. I had the Campfire Stout and LOVED it. It really did taste like a smore.

The bar was dimly lit, casting a warm, amber glow over the wooden surfaces and leather stools. The air was filled with the low hum of conversation, punctuated by the occasional clink of glasses and the soft laughter of patrons. Behind the bar, rows of bottles stood like sentinels, their labels reflecting the muted light in a rainbow of colors. The bartender, a handsome bald man with a neatly trimmed beard, moved with practiced ease, mixing drinks with a deftness that spoke of years of experience. My drink arrived, and I raised it to my lips, savoring the first cool, refreshing sip. The night stretched ahead, full of promise and the comforting sense of being in a place where time seemed to slow down, allowing me to simply be, surrounded by the warm hum of human connection. A must go for folks from all walks of life.

If you're looking for a great corner bar with awesome bartenders this is your spot. They know beer and have the best circulating on tap. They have tvs for the sports games and a pool table, and if you bring your own darts, you can play darts.

Authentic small cozy local bar. Loved it

Finally secured my Hoagie Dom reservation to try one of his amazing "sandwiches." I was beyond happy to visit Bardot. We grabbed some beers after checking-in to just chill outside at one of the outdoor tables (there was only 2). I was a little sad to find out that Bardot wasn't serving their general menu items, just Hoagie Dom sandwiches, which led me to feel bad for the patrons who weren't there for the event. Anyway, the sandwich finally arrived after a 20-25 min wait. It was insane!! The eggplant was perfectly cooked. The peppers, cheese and other ingredients were paired perfectly with the seeded roll. The sandwich was so big, I couldn't finish my half. I took it home for the next day and I saw many other "takeout" containers leave the establishment too. Hoagie Dom is killing the sandwich scene. I wish him well and hope to secure another reservation in the future.

After reflecting on my experiences here the last year or so, I've adjusted my rating of Bardot from 3 to 5. Bardot is a delightful, no-frills bar that exceeds expectations with its immaculate interior and exceptionally friendly staff. It stands out as one of the most polished (dive?) bars I've visited. A dive by some standards, there's a level of sophistication here. It's clean, water is freely available, and TouchTunes is typically on point. The food is good, although I wouldn't necessarily opt for takeout. Their beers are reasonably priced. The bar consistently offers a fun vibe and a secure environment. I might not rave about the food, but I definitely recommend stopping by for some affordable beer, straightforward cocktails, and a great atmosphere.

This place is awesome. Great service, food, and music. I never had Buffalo style perogies before but they were incredible. I can't stop thinking about them. The rest of the food was great, especially the spicy chicken sandwich. The drinks were definitely good too, they're not afraid to pour heavy. I definitely recommend this place.

When Bardot first opened it hailed itself as a Gastropub and it certainly met expectations. It HAD both elegant well prepared food and a great selection of handcrafted cocktails. Post pandemic Bardot has changed and like many places needed to change to meet economic needs. Most of the pictures on Yelp primarily shows Bardot pre-pandemic. Now Bardot is more of a dive like neighborhood pub complete with pool table. The handcrafted cocktails are replaced by standard corner bar offerings and the food selection is appropriately suited to its current model with burgers, cheesesteaks, and wings. If you want a decent local dive like bar that can at times be a bro-fest, then this is the place. Down to earth staff and great pub food set in an eclectic atmosphere due to what it used to be. If you are expecting a gastropub that has offerings based on pictures from post-pandemic times, you will be disappointed.

These Yelp pics make it look classier than it is, not that it's a bad thing. It's not really my vibe but it's pleasant enough. I've only had the wings, tots, and cheese steak egg rolls and it's solid bar food. Bartenders are nice. Plenty of seats whenever I've gone, including on Saturday night.

What a great neighborhood gem! Not sure what we expected since even though we live in the neighborhood, we never really walk directly by Bardot. One night, friends who live a wee bit north of here (and we live a wee bit south) and us met here for drinks and a snack. It didn't disappoint! Drinks were good, they had an ample beer selection, and the staff was nice. The ambiance was just what we had been looking for in a neighborhood bar if I'm being honest. Something chill. We are big fans and we will certainly be back!

The vibes are chill, drinks are good and food is great. I always get the pierogies and cheesesteak egg rolls. I'd give this place 5 stars if the service was slightly better. I find that they serve you and then just disappear so you tend to be there longer than you'd like.

Great local bar in Northern Liberties. Good happy hour specials. Thursday night is cheesesteak night and they have beyond cheesesteaks in the menu.

Tucked away in an unassuming alley way of Northern Liberties, Bardot Cafe is a quaint joint with some pretty great happy hour specials and many friendly faces. I'm new to Philly, and this was my first adventure into Northern Libs at the suggestion of my new friend, Rob (Follow his blog, facebook, insta - @robs10kfriends). I'm always super excited to find a happy hour that extends beyond 6 pm, and Bardot's is 5-7 with a handful of $5 appetizers and all drafts 50%. The draft list is a mix of local and craft beers. I chose a watermelon wheat beer, and it was delicious and refreshing (and also only $3.50 during happy hour!) I'm not exaggerating when I say that you would miss Bardot if you blinked, because I almost did (and what a SHAME that would have been!) In fact, I had to take a few seconds before walking in because it was so quaint, I almost felt like I was walking into someone's home. The bartenders were super kind and accommodating which I really appreciated. The vibe is dim-lit and cozy, maybe even *dare I say*...sexy. Granted it was a Monday when I sauntered into Bardot, but there were maybe only 6 other patrons in the place. This made it super easy to have a conversation. Perfect for a date, and post work happy hour, or a solo adventure. I could see me coming here and setting up my laptop and chilling for a few hours. It's just a super comforting environment. When I left Bardot, I immediately texted my friend to tell her about it. Safe to say I'll definitely be back.

Local chill vibe with a friendly bar tender and a nice surprisingly spacious interior. While I only stopped in for drinks (pretty cheap for a makeshift citywide), the menu looks pretty intriguing and I'd love to come back for the sliders and ambience. There looks like there is enough room for medium sized groups to stand and sit at the taller tables and the bathrooms were clean. Wondering if they still have the pool table in the back. I'll check next time I go!

Watched the two young male bartenders tonight call out the only black man in the bar due to being unhappy with the tip he left them. They literally screamed out loud & pointed towards him, to humiliate the only black man there, in front of the entire bar. This place is a disgrace.

This is a great chill place to grab a drink with a friend or to catch a game. Rare for a chill sports bar, they have a long and interesting list of cocktails available, ranging from fancier concoctions to $4 mind erasers, which I believe is kahlua and tonic. Solid beer list, too. The space is dark, dank, and covered in string lights. It has a perfect neighborhood bar feel. They have a long bar to sit at as well as tables and booths off to the side room for dining and a pool table in back. The burger and tatet poutine (!!) hit the spot. On the night we went, above the pool table they had a large projection screen showing the Sixers game, and when they took down Lebron and the Cavs, they blared the sweet disco funk sounds of "Here Come the Sixers." Awesome.

We were here on Wednesday foe happy hours. They had half off beers and $5 apps of the day. For apps we had option of chicken fingers and buffalo shrimp. We took buffalo shrimp amd for beers I tried Allagash tripple and my wife ordered Pumpkin Ale. Half of the beer menu was not on happy hour, indicated by 2 * next to the beer. My beer wss very strong with very mild flavors. Pumpkin ale on the other hand was very flavored and had nutmeg aftertaste. Loved it. Shrimp was a bit salty too my liking but well cooked.we ordered bardot burger. The fries were thin and crispy. Burger was very juicy but a bit small in size. For the price I expected more from the burger. They were very generous on the fries, I hope next yime they are a bit generous on the burger too. The ambience was nice. They had TVs begind the bar playing all games. There is a small seating area on the other side with dim lighting TV, perfect for a date. Overall a decent place for date, not the best place for happy hours.

Great bar, very nice staff and generally speaking a good crowd. This place is slightly off the beaten path but I've always enjoyed my visits there. If you ever find yourself in the neighborhood I definitely recommend. Don't expect anything too crazy but it's a good time

I've wanted to come to Bardot since the time we signed for a house couple of blocks away. Now more than a year later, we finally made it here for our pre thanksgiving dinner. We went during happy hours and got a place at the bar. It's your typical neighborhood bar with friendly customers and great bar tenders. I ordered the pumpkin beer and then the IPA which were both at a half off. Keep in mind, their happy hour is only for a few beers and 3 apps. I liked both the beers I ordered. They had a nice distinct flavor. We ordered the buffalo shrimp and Bardot burger which were both just about average. Nothing to write home about. Service was good and the entire place was very welcoming. I would like to give the brunch here a try but would definitely return for their happy hours because why wouldn't you want to walk 200 steps for half off beer!!

Our favorite bar in Northern Liberties! The staff is always friendly and attentive. The food is always great! The best part is their drink selection and happy hour deal. They have half off drafts from 5-7 from Sunday to Friday. They always have great beers on draft from Tired Hands to Maine Brewing Company. This is the place we always recommend to our friends visiting the area. If you are in the area, please stop by by!

Terrible food, dark atmosphere. Cool place to get drunk but don't expect anything more.

We came in a large party for our 2 birthday girls. Food was overall good, and although service was attentive throughout, it was a bit awkward at the end. We ordered cheesecake and creme bulee for our two birthday girls and out came 2 bread puddings. When we told them the items were incorrect, our server replied, "Well, we ran out of cheesecake and creme brûlée." Um...what? Then shouldn't you have given us a heads up before bringing out something completely irrelevant? Who allowed you to make that decision on your own when we are the ones paying for it? We ended up leaving half of the desserts behind because it wasn't even something we wanted. They didn't even comp it at the end, even though we didn't order them!! How absurd. Overall I think I would come again for a regular meal but wouldn't depend on these folks for a special occasion.

One visit, two orders: I got the honey sriracha wings and mushroom risotto with truffle oil and spinach and Parmesan. The wings were not very tasty... Totally unpalatable to me that I almost sent it back but was too embarrassed to because I was there with my boss and her friends. Hands down one ofthe worser wings experiences I have had. The texture was crispy which was a plus, but the sauce and flavor was very lackluster. It feels like they took a brush and just ungivingly coated the wings. I've licked more sauce off my fingers at other places than they put on those 7 wings combined. I don't know if it's bad day or style, but I'm never getting those again. It's literally not finger lickin good to me. Risotto on the other hand, amazing. Texture is great - al dente and not porridge consistency. I highly recommend!

Cute little spot hidden in Northern Librities/Fishtown area ... it had a cool vibe to the place, the service was ok, the people who work here are very chill, & the food was average. I got the mushroom taco which was good and the shrimp taco which was ok... then the Bardot salad which was delicious! My friend ended up getting the wings and said they were a little too over cooked. It's a quick place to grab a good drink and bite to eat.

Hidden French European gem..I love this spot!! It's pretty open, spacious, laid back and plenty of friendly people to talk to. This is another one of those places that was recommended to me by a close friend a few months back.. but never stepped foot in until recently. The size is perfect-big enough, yet not crowded. An overall pleasant place to pop in for a drink and/or comfort food to unwind after a long work day!

It's a blessing and a curse living near this place. It's a great cocktail bar/restaurant that blends into it's residential surroundings on Poplar St. I've been here for nightcaps before and finally got a chance to get dinner here the other day. As another Yelper mentioned, this place is a hidden gem. The interior bar is dark and intimate, with a few lounge areas, as well. Definitely a great spot for a date or a close catch-up with someone. All of the people who work here are friendly and courteous, and they make some really delicious drinks. Their beer list is fairly small, so don't come here expecting to find a large selection on tap. However, the beer is pretty unique and you won't find your standard beers here - so try something new! Their menu is relatively small, but it's constantly changing and everything looks/sounds amazing. I've had a couple of items on the menu and the food truly is fantastic. For starters, they had a special of sunchokes that were grilled and topped with some salt and some other seasonings (blanking on what else was on there) and they were extremely tasty. If you've never had sunchokes before, it's a very hearty/meaty vegetable that is surprisingly versatile. Picture an artichoke infused potato. For dinner, I ordered the risotto and it was fantastic. The risotto was cooked to perfection and was slightly creamy. I added a little crushed red pepper to give it some spice. My friend ordered the veggie cutlet sandwich and that was great. It was surprisingly huge, so you have to push down on the sandwich, but thankfully the ingredients don't fall out of the bread. Their kaiser bun is flaky and not too chewy, and the chipotle BBQ is a perfect complement to the sandwich. I'll definitely have to get that the next time I come here. Overall, an awesome place to come to for drinks or dinner - you won't be disappointed!

My first time here was for brunch one random winter morning last year and the place was totally empty, which made my brunch nice and intimate. The mimosas were more OJ than champagne (boo!) but still pretty good. I ordered eggs benedict with arctic char - which I wasn't really a fan of, but I think its because I found out later that I am not a fan of hollandaise sauce. The side salad was TOO good - I would have had that for an entire meal. Also, the fries. THE FRIES - get them. They are so good. The second time I went, I got an omelet, which was pretty delicious as well. Take home message: This place is great for a once in a while meal. For brunch, I definitely recommend café la moude, which is a 5 min walk away.

I've been to Bardot twice and both experiences have been great. Normally, I don't like going back to the same place again so I can venture out and try new places but this place is worth going back to. Food is always pretty good. Food we got: -Bardot Burger -Fried Chicken Sandwich -Fried Zucchini -Mac and cheese -Shrimp and grits -Pork chop -Cheese plate Service: Good Deor: Red and Victorian/bar Recommend!

Such a fantastic bar! I've been wanting to go here for 5 years and finally made it. It did not disappoint. Affordable happy hour and bar food. I had really tasty wings. The atmosphere was decent. The staff was friendly. Loved all the lights. Great place to watch a game or play pool. Really good neighborhood bar.

I'm picking up what you're putting down, Bardot. The dark and sexy bar is perfect for a date or small group. And the tiny, tucked-away parlor with curtain would be perfect for a scandalous liaison. The staff was sweet but not entirely up to speed on menu items. The buttery shrimp were served head-on, though when I asked before ordering I was told that they were served only with the tails still attached. Minor, but enough of a turnoff for me that I probably would have opted for a different plate. The octopus dish was a win amongst our table of three, and I simply could not get enough of the spaetzle with purple cauliflower. It was perfect. Our server recommended cocktails for my friends while I tried the Côtes du Rhône Blanc, which I deeply enjoyed. I can't wait to go back for another glass, some more French pop, and that delicious-looking burger that accidentally almost made its way to our table.

Food was really good. We had a burger and the octopus. Drinks were just OK. My husband's martini was tiny, and was swiped by the waitress before he could finish it. My cocktail was pretty good, but still kinda small. I ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio next but they were out of it so I chose another white wine. That glass was really skimpy as well. I will definitely go back and give them another chance but for a bar that just opened I think they should've been overfilling rather than under filling. Atmosphere was nice and the service was good.

Beautifully appointed bar and cafe in a quirky building (see pic) tucked into an odd intersection in Northern Liberties. French-inspired brunch was outstanding. Excellent Counter Culture coffee. Very reasonable pricing, too. I had the mushroom omelette, which also featured asparagus and goat cheese. Delicious flavors and perfectly cooked eggs (no browning or burning, as so often in restaurants). Have to go back for drinks from the impressive beer, wine, and cocktail lists sometime.

Below is a snippet from our Brunch review. Check out HungoverInPhilly.com for the full review! The Good - Wonderful Decor/Very relaxed environment - Great service & really good bartender - Food was very tasty The Bad - Limited menu for Breakfast - Meals were a little on the pricey side - Parking can be tough due to its location (be sure to plan an extra few minutes for when you go) The Review - Food: 3/5 - Bloody Marys: 3/5 - Atmosphere: 4/5 - Price: 3/5 Overall Rating 3/5 - I'm going to end this review the same way I started it, by saying that when it comes to brunch Bardot Cafe is the one of the new kids on the block. They definitely have a lot of potential with their already good menu and location, but I think still have some growing left to do in the brunch category. I almost want to add an appointment in to my calendar to come back here in a little over a year because I know when we go back their brunch will be phenomenal!

I need to update this review for one reason. The Pork Chop. That might have been the best pork chop I've ever had in my life. That f---er was almost two inches thick and cooked perfectly. The caramelized onion gravy was out of this world. The mashed potatoes were creamy without being fully whipped and worked with the long, thin green beans. I am still surprised about how good of a meal that this was. We started with the mussels which were cooked in beer with shallots, mustard, and thyme. The broth-y sauce was delicious and paired very well with the mussels. The only gripe was that they did not give you enough bread to soak up that sauce. We even asked for more bread, but we needed at least a half of a baguette. The pork chop was awesome. Get the pork chop. My foxy lady ordered the salmon. And really she only ordered that because I wanted the pork chop. The salmon was good, served with dill. If I hadn't had the pork chop I might talk about the salmon more. Pork chop.

this is a cute neighborhood bar! came by with some friends and had a great time. the service was attentive and fast. i got a cocktail and some shrimp quesadillas. both were great! can't wait to come back and try the other dishes

Bardot is a super solid brunch option. It is located right off 5th tucked away from the crowds and long waits of the 2nd street brunch train. I've gone several times at around 11:30AM with a party of 6-8 and we were able to be seated right away every time. The menu consists of a few petit plates and a handful each of breakfast and lunch options. They usually have a special or two to choose from as well. Everything I've tried so far has been delicious. The food is well cooked, well seasoned, and portioned properly. Coffee is great, I believe it is La Calombe. Lot of cool artwork and decor and kind wait staff. A few solid go-to's are: Pork Belly Biscuit (Pork Belly, grits, pickled vidalia onions, hot sauce, fried egg) and my personal favorite the Salmon Benedict (citrus cured salmon, hollandaise, homemade english muffin and potatoes). Happy hour is 11AM-1PM, half off brunch cocktails. While it is not the best brunch I've ever eaten, it is an easy choice if you have a larger party and would like to be seated some time this century.

Bardot Cafe is a sultry little restaurant in Northern Liberties. Dark and moody, it's a great setting for an intimate evening, whether you're on a date or a small group of friends. On my most recent visit my partner and I shared the mussels appetizer which was very, very good. While I was happy to share, I could have eaten the whole thing myself. The mussels came with a few small pieces of bread. We ordered an additional portion of bread because the broth that the mussels were cooked in was so good. I lamented when the waiter took it away that I didn't just have an entire baguette to sop up the rest. For my entree I had the salmon and my partner ordered the pork chop. My dish was good, but his was superior. On a previous visit I had a special, eggs en cocotte, which I also greatly enjoyed. The service is nice and relaxed, just like the atmosphere. The place wasn't busy when we first arrived around 8 pm but did pick up a bit as we were leaving. I suggest checking Bardot out. If I know you, which I don't, I think you'll like it.

I have nothing but nice things to say about this place: great cocktails (the weekend is what you want), great food (the pork Milanese sandwich was delicious and the gnocchi smelled delicious), and the staff are friendly and skilled at what they do (Matt is behind the bar most nights - good dude) It's also a great spot for an OK Cupid date: the mood lighting is great, the decor is very nice, it's quiet, and the prices are reasonable. I'm really lucky this is my neighborhood bar.

Just wow! Me and my boys stumbled into this place during Joeys bachelor party, and the rad bartender told us there is a secret shot on the menu called "isn't that fancy". I don't know what the fuck was in it but was on fire! Next time you're there ask for the secret "isn't that fancy" shot!

I went there for lunch today and my waitress Alex was super nice and the bar staff was very welcoming. Great vibe on a nice day and I love the decorum inside. I would certainly go back for dinner with friends for drinks and food. The food today was very tasty and packed with flavor! My only concern is I don't want to share with too many people of fear of not having it all to myself. haha So happy I went to Bardot. Will def be going back AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

My husband and I came here 2/24 for happy hour and were ignored by the bartender. It wasn't busy but she didn't acknowledging us until we asked if we could order drinks. This was the same for food. We ordered a couple apps and they sat in front of us till we left. She seemed more interested in talking to her friends next to us. Never asked how anything was or if we wanted more drinks...the guy who was bar backing got most of the things we needed and even brought us our check?!? Really?!? We were giving this place a second chance since they stopped serving the steak we use to love (Coulotte). Its official: we won't be back. This really screwed up our night as this is where we planned on getting dinner...but left because the service was so bad. She was right in front of us when we left too ( talking to her friends ) and didn't bother saying bye. Never again.

Came here for the first time with friends on a Saturday night for dinner. I had passed by the outside a bunch and always thought it looked cute. It has a cool atmosphere inside (decorated a bit for Halloween!), but had poor lighting I will say. The food however was delicious!! I had White Fish over a Spinach Risotto and an "autumn spiced" beer that I wish I remembered the name of!! Everyone else loved their meals as well and I would definitely come back to chill at the bar and try more of their cocktails

Small, intimate hidden treasure in Northern Liberties that we found on Yelp on our way to The Painted Bride. So many great food choices in this area, and this one is definitely right up there with the best! First off, the service was quick and attentive. It was hard to choose, but we settled on the Bardot Burger, the fried Brussels sprouts (with bacon) and the Thai Chili wings. Everything was delicious! You need to make it your business to visit this place, you'll be happy you did!

Bardot Cafe is so super sexy! Definitely put it very high on your list for a date-night! I kept looking around at the velvet paisley wallpaper, ornate lighting fixtures, beveled mirrors, and all of the twinkling candles! There were so very many! Oh, and of course you will get your fill of photos of that blonde bombshell the place is named after too! This place has all the cozy, intimate vibes. Ambiance on point 1,000%. We came here with a group of 6 women on a Friday at 7pm. We made reservations but the place was fairly empty when we arrived. After tasting what Bardot had to offer I couldn't imagine why. Our oh so adorable and handsome waiter (can't remember his name) was very attentive and extremely helpful while I looked over the menu. I had so many questions regarding ingredients and what he didn't know off the top of his head, he found out immediately for me from the kitchen. They actually made a few dishes especially for me and my veg ways! I mean, they really went above and beyond to cater to my dietary needs as their menu normally isn't very vegan friendly. Vegetarian yes, vegan, no, but don't let that stop you. Simple ask! I indulged in the sprouts, Bardot salad as well as the beets, and some frites which were all made dairy free, just for me!! All were tasty, but I remember the golden beets being exceptionally good. All of the ladies in our party enjoyed every dish they had. I'm pretty sure our table ordered and split one of each item on the menu....Charcuterie, lamb burger, wild mushroom risotto, sea bass and coulette steak were a few I remembered. Lost of "oohing & ahhhing" from our party. I do notice some changes to the menu. Perhaps they change out a few items seasonally? Cocktails were very creative, strong and extremely reasonably priced! I first tasted the 'Lola' which was vodka, cherry, lime, ginger beer and rhubarb bitters. Very good! I then had a 'Little Solider' which was napoleon armagnac, apricot shrub, prosecco, citrus. I would recommend either for a lover of sweeter cocktails, but 'Lola' was a favorite. Man, do I love a cocktail with shrubs and bitters! It's really a sweet little spot on a quaint side street in Northern Liberties. Parking was as you would expect it to be in the area so leave a little time beforehand if you have reservation or just Uber it. I kept thinking how much I wanted to bring my husband back as this spot is pretty darn romantic. Perhaps we will try the happy hour one of these days. It's Sun-Fri 5-7pm with $5 bar snacks, $1 off house wine, $1 off well drinks and 1/2 off all beer! Highly recommend especially for couples! Fab Philly Mom says: you're not going to want the kiddos here with you. Maybe for brunch, definitely not at night.

Stopped in a few times while housesitting around the block and became an instant favorite. The atmosphere is real chill (at least, it was the few times I was in), dim lit, nice selection of beer on tap, and friendly staff. Def pop in for happy hour if you're in the area.

Nothing bad or super great about this place. Had some drinks and they were just okay - nothing out of this world. There werent many people considering it was a Friday night.

I came here for a quick drink with my pookie. The place is really dark, but charming in its own way. Our drinks were just okay and their selection of local beers left a lot to be desired. Furthermore, the bartenders were ehhhhh. They didn't seem too interested in chatting. The prices are generally good, happy hour didn't seem like much of a deal, though. Overall, this place is just a mediocre bar where a lot of local go, but nothing too interesting.

Great Bartenders who make Great Drinks; Great Happy Hour, Good Food, Good Location... can you tell Im a local? Depending on what you are looking for there is no reason not to stop in have a drink, some cheese curds and play your favorite song on the juke box. Have a glass of wine on tap and the salmon for dinner or a "waltz into the darkness" before you head out of the neighborhood to try a new place! Bardot has everything covered!

Local pub that we love dearly. Good food, great drinks. Matt's the best - hands down.

Definitely my favorite bar in town. Their happy hour can't be beat- 50% off beers, including growler fill ups, and food specials between 5:00 and 7:00 and week nights. Their food is delicious, bar tenders are friendly and outdoor seating is a plus.

I'm in fear and loathing of having to write a positive review for this place. I simply do not want other people to find out how wonderful it is. Unfortunately, I have to. I've visited on several occasions late at night for Drinks. The cocktails are creative, well crafted, and most importantly delicious. The staff is friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The Decour is fresh and new but not overtly modern, giving it a great old world feel. I have yet to make it in for a meal here but I look forward to the experience. Also of note, there are two numbered pieces of art on the wall here. They are by Ralph Steadman who is also one of my personal favorite illustrators. His style is a bit different but it fits well in this bar.

Was visiting Philly for the weekend and this place was a few blocks from our AirBnB. Surprisingly, brunch on a Sunday was pretty empty, but who am I to complain! The dishes were pretty standard New American fare, but delicious overall and definitely good sized portions. There were some classic and also unique cocktails on the menu and a solid draft list that had me trying a bit from both sides of the drinks menu. The decor was really unique, sort of a vintage-punk-eclectic vibe with some really neat chandeliers (a giant octopus!) that made it one of those places you can be happy to just sit and look around the entire time you're there. Our waitress was extremely friendly and a pleasure to have - if I lived anywhere nearby I'd be here all the time.

Best cocktails in NoLibs/Fishtown/Kensington. I would go far as to say they are on par with what you would get at Franklin Mortgage or any of the other high-end Center City cocktail bars, and they are literally about $5 less per drink (most of their drinks are $9-12). They also have a dark little nook with two victorian couches that is a great place to get cozy with a date. Highly recommended. But if you see me come in, GTFO I want my corner!
