"Named for the Dostoevsky novel, this relaxed brewery serves up Russian-esque fare like dumplings and a beet Reuben with Russian dressing. The beers include fascinating rarities (at least in the U.S.) like Polish Grodziskie, made with smoked wheat. There are also more mainstream options, like their citrus-tinged pale ale." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
Unique and delicious beers, super friendly and attentive bartender/ server and delicious food! The food isn’t your typical bar food and was also great quality. If you like Polish style dishes, this is definitely the place to go! Amazing pirogies and kielbasa! We loved our meals and 🍻

Decided to walk up to Crime and Punishment on a humid end of Summer Saturday. The interior was relaxed and inviting, and service great overall. We grabbed a seat and were treated to several delicious beers and surprisingly good pierogis. Would definitely come back next time we're in the area!

I loved this place - it was amazing. Note the use of past tense lol
Unfortunately they did close permanently a few months ago 😔 just wanted to put that on here so nobody gets disappointed since Google has yet to update.
There is supposed to be a Human Robot going in there though 🤖🤙🏻

We loved it and even got some to go. My birthday was the Prison and then the Brewery. My husband made it a theme. I work a lot so he arrested me and took me to prison. Ha ha it was amazing !
My Crime My punishment.

Probably the best brewery in Philly. (We tried 2nd story, yards, fishtown brewery and 2nd district. Nothing exciting.) Crime and Punishment Brew has some really good stuff at the very reasonable price.
The food is fantastic, even the napkin is fancy. You should try this place if you are a craft beer head.

Cozy brewery with a great theme (if you haven't read Dostoyevsky, you need to start yesterday). Very quick and friendly service with a great tap list. Bar seating and table seating are available. A couple tables open up outdoors in good weather, too. They have a good menu which includes a lot of pickled items, which is properly eastern European. Stop on for a drink and/or food, it will be worth your while.

Very small outfit as brewers go but they certainly have very interesting beers. Pretty eclectic food menu items too. Give it a try.

The brewery is really coming along!
I'm the same space that Crime & Punishment used to have, Human Robot on Girard is a great place for a beer and a bite from Poe's Side Piece.
The space was well recovered and the back room is now seating, and they also now have sports events showings, like F1 last weekend.
The staff is super nice and helpful and keeps us coming back!
