Four Humours

Amazing drink options with whiskey! My drink with strawberry and basil was absolutely delectable. My friends got the whiskey flights and enjoyed tasting each one. We will absolutely return!

Stopped in for a cocktail and the entire staff was so welcoming. The male bartender was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. The Normandie old fashion was out of this world, would also highly recommend the espresso martini #2. Check this place out! Cheers.

I’m not a fan of whiskey but this drink was amazing! Fresh strawberries well combined with rye and distinct flavors. Great place.

Stopped by on a Saturday and was surprised at how empty it was. We then found out from the (not so friendly) bartender that they were out of their own sprits. (sorry, unexplained reasons). We choked down some Dad's hat and ducked out. Hope to return when they make more hooch.

This cocktail bar has been a longtime favorite of mine, and anyone that I tell to visit, and for good reason. The atmosphere is consistently inviting, the drinks are expertly crafted, and the service is exceptional. Bartenders (especially Kai) are true professionals—warm, attentive, and incredibly skilled at what they do. Whether you’re seeking a classic cocktail or something more adventurous, they never miss the mark. Their hospitality and talent make this one of the best cocktail bars in Philadelphia when it comes to quality and price. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates quality and care in their cocktail experience.

We loved this spot so much that we can back twice in a weekend. Really great group running the distillery who is just so passionate about their cocktail program, but let me tell you, do NOT sleep on their devilled eggs. They are incredible, and better yet, they have happy hour all day on Sundays.

This cocktail bar is one of my go-tos! It’s pretty under the radar, every time I have been it’s not overly crowded. The drinks are consistently great and well balanced. The staff always takes the time to help pick a drink and explain the chemistry behind it, it’s so interesting to hear how much goes behind a cocktail. Will continue to come back!

We stopped by here by chance and had a great experience. We tried four different cocktails and had a cheese board and Bloody Mary deviled eggs. We also had a great conversation with the bartenders and they were very helpful.

The best distillery bar in Philadelphia. The homemade drinks with all clean and homemade ingredients (including all syrups, bitters, so on) are the best The staff is amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable and great at what they do Where there is snacks they are a bring your own food but please do not forget to try their bacon. Hands down. The best

great chill spot to get drinks with buddies. Drinks are tasty and they have fun finger foods the decor is modern and aesthetic.

Amazing drinks, terrible service. We spent over 3 hours here for only 2 rounds of drinks!! I am all for a laid back vibe, but it was a little bit ridiculous. After ordering the first round (3 drinks), one of the drinks was served and the server didn't even know what drink it was. The other two drinks then took another 20-25 minutes to be served. Second round of drinks were served to the wrong table. After realizing their mistake, it took an additional 25 minutes for all the drinks to be remade. They brought out a round of whiskey on the house, which was a nice touch but I would've rather just had a discount on the bill. Olives were delicious and all drinks were amazing, but if you come here make sure you aren't on a strict timeline. We were in the "dining room", so maybe sitting at thr bar is the way to go.

Delicious cocktails. Good vibes. Friendly staff. Bring your own food. Gets pretty busy. That is all.

Definitely one of the best, most creative cocktail bars out there. The bartender takes great care making his drinks, and does a good job explaining his craft. I love the seasonal menu changes and always get excited to see what they come up with next! The vibe is cozy and fun. I think if they added some more food to their menu, I'd be there a lot more often!

Can Yelp let me give 6 stars just one time? We LOVED visiting Four Humours. When we arrived the bartenders helped us find a seat at the bar. We happened to be right in front of the head bartenders work area. When we went to order I got a recommendation to try, Son of Man. It was a delicious drink made with care. Throughout our time there, we had conversations with the bartender and he even let us sample an Amaro we saw on the shelves (on the house), and gave us good mixology tips because of my fiancés interest. One of the most notable things about this bar is the ingredients they use, they source local and high quality ingredients to make their drinks. I wish I lived across the street to come here all the time. The vibe of the bar was classy but fun, everyone was enjoying themselves and the bar was a super nice setup--very long and held a lot of people.

Awesome, diverse selection of cocktails as well as a good snacking menu. Wonderful and friendly staff!

Came here on Sat evening around 5:15p. Didn't have a reservation, ended up waiting like 5-10 mins for a couple bar seats. Had the time to appreciate the inside architecture which was pretty cool with the feeling like you're sitting within a whiskey barrel. When we finally sat down, we got a look at the cocktail menu and all the drinks looked great! We tried the An Apple a Day, Saffron Boulevardier, and two of their other drinks as well (one of which was a bartender's choice). They were all smooth Overall, an intimate space that serves great cocktails. Can't wait to come back another time

I am newly 21, and I went here with my family for a fun night out! honestly, I don't really enjoy the taste of alcohol. but, the drinks here are amazing. I had the velvet remedy, which was the perfect sweet drink for me. we got an order of mini pickles (delicious) and the deviled eggs. it was my first time trying those, and I loved them. the vibes were great, and the staff gave us shots on the house. i really don't like shots, but these were great. I think they had honey in them.

Love this whiskey bar with fabulous cocktails? They have lovely snacks too (candied bacon is excellent) and the bartenders are so great (I see you Kai!). Their new whiskey is also super smooth! A must visit when we come to Philly!

Four Humours is an incredible cocktail bar! My group tried about 6 different cocktails, and all were amazing. My favorite was the Clover Club, but other noteworthy ones were the Bacon Old Fashioned and the Velvet Remedy. That said, you really can't go wrong with any of these. The snacks were delicious too, and service was super friendly. The overall ambiance was fairly quiet, at least on a Sunday afternoon. Prices were super reasonable for the quality and taste. I'll definitely be planning to return the next time I'm in Philly.

Super fresh cocktails! I've been on a cocktail tour lately and this is my favorite location in fishtown/ old Kensington so far. My first time here and will certainly be back!

Great drinks, friendly staff, wonderful ambiance. What's not to love about this place? Tried the whiskey flight, clover club, and catabolic. All fantastic and cocktails were refreshing. Thanks to Jon & team for accommodating our large party of 7 and additional needs :) Too busy having fun to take more photos. Great local spot. Will be back to try happy hour.

Being a whiskey fan, I love to hit up local distilleries. Because they were short staffed during my visit, I wasn't able to tour the facility, so I toured the old fashioned menu, instead. Great variety of offerings, nothing too "mixologist" and a few more traditional offerings. And I always appreciate a nice ice cube!

A1 cocktails in the cutest little venue. Casual yet sophisticated. Local but metropolitan scale drinks. Four Humours offers the perfect ambiance. The staff is friendly and sociable. I visited on Sunday around brunch (2pm) and we didn't wait longer than 5-10 mins for a cocktail. I'd imagine at a busier time or day the wait may be a little longer, since there isn't a ton of people working. Look forward to frequenting this 4H often

Awesome ambiance. The crew working there are knowledgeable and just awesome people. Had a great time and highly recommend. Drinks are fantastic

Excellent cocktails. I had the pomegranate whip (it's the one w the egg white and black pepper). Liked the interior. Chill rustic friendly We got the cheese plate and thought it was good.

This place is actually a 10 and but I can't give that rating so a 5 will have to be enough. The entire place is a vibe, when you walk in it has a boozy wood smell and the bar looks like it is in a barrel. We came about 10 minutes after they opened on a Friday and got a table for four but I was told we got lucky. I wasn't sure what to drink so I asked for help and was asked a few questions before a drink was recommended (it was also my friend's favorite drink) so full trysting I ordered the recommendation. The drinks were expensive but I would have licked the glass dry it was so good. I got the Clover Club it was a gin based drink which made me hesitant but I am soooo glad I trusted my friend and the bartender it was so creamy dreamy and fruity. My husband got the Velvet Remedy and was very surprised by the drink he thought it would be too sweet but the strawberry enhanced the bourbon it did not take away from it at all. If you are in Philly and you are looking to grab a great drink this is the place to go! The owner was even encouraging us to take photos by giving us a light because not only did the drinks taste delicious they look incredible as well.

We've been meaning to check out Four Humours for a while now and were going to go last Thursday when we found out last minute they only open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Thankfully we hadn't left the house yet. So we went the next day with our puppy. The bar looked soooo nice inside but since we had our puppy, we could only sit outside, which was fine. Our server was great. Even though we sat outside and thought we might get neglected, this was not the case. Our server checked up on us many times but was not intrusive. He brought us all waters (yes, even a dog bowl for our puppy) soon after we were seated and a lil dog treat later for our puppy. This place is super dog friendly. Our server also recommended fantastic cocktails for our preferences, even though, I'm sure all the cocktails are delicious. And there are so many options, there is something for everyone. I would love to try all of them eventually. We had the Bacon Old Fashioned, Brown Derby, The Concussion, and Bramble, with a side of $1 cheese puffs. The cheese puffs were good but just a tad too salty. We sat outside and enjoyed our drinks till it started to get dark and windy. When I went inside to close the tab, our server asked if our puppy would like another treat, which was very thoughtful of him. Can't wait to come back to try more cocktails and sit inside next time! :P

Super cool spot with a seated back area where you can make reservations and then a vibrant bar. This is a destination cocktail joint and well worth a wait or trip!

Honestly this is the best or one of the best cocktail bars! The cocktails here are tasty, refreshing like fresh juice and boozy at the same time - if that is even possible. They have limited options for food which is mostly snacks which is good because then you can focus on their super high quality drinks. My favorites are: "Black and Blue" and "Violet! You're Turning Violet".

omg what an amazing gem! if you haven't checked out this cocktail bar yet, def put it on your list! i had such a lovely time here and drinks were spot on! they also use local spirits which is pretty awsome! we tried 3 different drinks and they were all smooth and delicious! idk if i would get the bacon old fashioned again but it was pretty interesting! i can't wait to return and try more stuff!

We come here about once a month usually on a Friday or Saturday for a late night drink and snack. The service is top-notch and everyone is super friendly and welcoming. The drinks are fantastic. They have a decent whiskey list and make an amazing cocktail. I love the interior and how to makes you feel like you're inside a whiskey barrel. I would recommend getting a reservation if you want a table though. There is some standing room but it's not a big space so it can be a little awkward if you don't have seat.

Located on a small one way street and such a gem! The drinks were amazing and the little bites were absolutely delicious. The bartender/owner was fantastic. He came by to chat, explain some of the drinks we had and why he ordered those particular brands and ingredients. I lives two blocks away and will absolutely go back. Highly recommend!

I've been really looking forward to trying this place and finally got a chance to venture in for an after dinner drink. First of all, the place is super cool inside. The design and low lighting are perfect for just hanging out and enjoying a drink and conversation. The staff was incredibly friendly and provided solid service. Now, for the important part, the drinks.I tried the Boulevardier and the Brown Derby. Both of these drinks were excellent, but the Boulevardier was amazing. I'm looking forward to getting back to try more of the cocktails.

An unexpected gem! The drinks are all great flavor combos here and it's fun to see their distillery right next door. Only docked one star because the drinks do take a very long time to come out if they're busy, we were with friends so we didn't mind waiting but wanted to note it.

Shoutout to our local artist family, ickyvicky_arts for recommending us to this awesome venue! She made us a reservation and we had a wonderful visit! The staff greeted us promptly and were so friendly! This place is popping' and I heard last night was even more busy because of this venue has a meet and greet event with some of the local artists that they support by allowing them to display their art and will even let patrons buy pieces off the walls. The signature cocktails, whiskey flights that let you sample some local talent, and even a few wines. The snacks are on point, especially the savory Housemade pimento cheese spread! I love how interactive the staff is and even enjoyed the amazing photobombing of a certain energetic young man who helped orchestrate a successful evening and warmed our hearts with all the Love and warmth needed for such a chilly winter evening with our family! Bravo!

This place is such a gem! We had such a welcoming experience here an had a great time watching the different drinks being made. All of their drinks seemed so unique and fun! They make most of their syrups and bitters in house! Kai was able to make me the most delicious mocktails!!

Absolutley delectable cocktails! Great service with a smile... a must visit place indeed!

Best cocktails in Fishtown/Kensington. Expect a wait, quality takes time. Highly recommend the Velvet Remedy and the Saffron Boulevardier.

My friend took me to this bar that I never heard of before but I loved it. It's pretty laid back and chill. They have a lot of drink choices from flights of beer, wine and bourbons, rums and scotches. I got a flight called The Kinsey. If u like strong liquors straight you'll love it. They also serve little snacks like slices of bacon and cheese boards along with a couple of other things that I'll have to return and try.

These people get it! Perfect spot for snacks and exceptionally well made cocktails. You can taste the care and passion from the first, to the last sip. Laid back and friendly! Ps. Loves dogs.

Balanced cocktails & Friendly Bartenders/Servers! We had a memorable time enjoying well balanced cocktails amidst fun conversation with the bartenders! They were so friendly and accommodating, even making us custom drinks based on our spirit preferences. We appreciated the craftsmanship in using unique house-made syrups and bitters to create one of a kind craft cocktails! Each cocktail was delicious and balanced, and we enjoyed chatting with the bartenders to fully appreciate the thought and intention behind the libations. The deviled eggs and pimento cheese n pretzel crisps were all yummy and served as the perfect accompaniment to the beverages! The ambiance had a cool and chill vibe - cozy n intimate feel! We will definitely be returning soon - it was a great night!

(to the tune of "just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars) Oh, this bar, this bar, It's so gorgeous inside, GD COVID... But this bar, this bar, Made the most of things, even our fur kid It's so beautiful.... wish I could go there every day. Yeah, I know I know When I really order just one bacon Inside inside, It's fantastic drinks that they are making.... But every time bae asks me "Where should be get a drink" I say...... When you see this place, There's not a thing that I would change. Four Humours amazing..... Just the way you are. Can't wait to go inside.... The architecture blows me away Yes, it's amazing.... Quite the special bar. I HATE that we moved from around the block 3 months before this spot open, AND that it opened in the middle of a pandemic, but TBH - they've really handled it all with grace. One of the best Manhattan's I've ever had. We also got a boozy lemonade drink over the summer that just knocked my socks off in the best possible way. Love their silly, fun menu of snacks , and the staff was incredibly kind and friendly, even bringing out a bowl of water and a treat for our doggo! Can't wait to go inside and enjoy the space.

Bacon old fashioned and Normandie Club. Wow great drinks! Cool vibe. Must try if in the area!

Four humors has a great atmosphere, amicable staff and an eclectic series of spirits But you know this. You've read this is all the other reviews. What I'm here to call out is their Limoncelllo. Without a doubt it's the best in the city and is unbelievably underrated in their menu. It's tart, mildly acidic and has just the right amount consistency that makes it the perfect way to cap off a lovely evening. Do yourself a favor and get this on your way in or out.

The cocktails here are amazing! You can tell they really take the time to perfect your cocktail. The sour is just favorite! The only downside - because they work so hard to make your drink perfect, it takes them a really long time to make them. We came when it was only us and another table and it took over 40 minutes for our cocktails to be ready. But - the service is excellent and when they realized how long it took, they even offered us a free round of shots! Highly recommend this place! Will be coming here often!

Now been to Four Humours twice and have had two great experiences. You can make reservations via Resy but I did not either time. First trip was a Saturday evening about 8PM and got seated in 15 minutes, other trip was a Friday afternoon at 5 and got a spot at the bar right away. It's a very low key style bar, with seating for about 50 if I had to estimate. Of the four cocktails I had, my favorite was "An Apple A Day" which was Apple Brandy, rhubarb liquor, bourbon and rosemary. You can tell that there is a lot of work put into the cocktails both with fresh ingredients (they ran out of one of the drinks when I was there because they didn't like the grapefruit that they received) and how they are served. The drinks are between 15-20 dollars but are definitely alcohol forward so you get what you pay for. I have yet to try any of the snacks that are offered but they do look good. The bartenders/staff is awesome, with explanations on the drinks and solid service throughout. Finally, the atmosphere is decent with a very cool interior (last time I was there though, they had music pumping way too loud). Overall, Four Humours is a great happy hour/late night drink type of spot that seems to be relatively under the radar compared to some other cocktail bars in the area. If you're ever doing a night out or a bar crawl in Fishtown, this should be on your list.

Best whiskey cocktails in Philly. John and Kye (hope I spelled your names right) were great! So welcoming and cool. Definitely recommend this spot for good drinks and good times! Thanks guys!

I almost wish I left it at Instagram, which was how I came across this place. The arc-ceiling inside was the coolest thing about the visit, but we chose to sit outside bc the AC was so cranked inside... actually frigid. While our server was definitely very nice, he was overwhelmed and eventually so were we when we realized we were sitting next to a running generator on the taco truck that literally blocks the entire establishment. It is NOT the way to enjoy a $20 (yes, $20) bacon, maple old fashioned. Also the bacon was not good! Can't do that, can't skimp on the quality of the bacon served if that's "the thing" of the drink. It was ice cold and the fat was solid in the grooves of its body. We picked at some of the olive snack but they were overly doused in oil. We probably would not go again. But damn, it looked so good and different on Instagram!

Hands down the best cocktails I have ever had. These cocktails are so expertly crafted, it is honestly an experience when you're here. I don't typically like "spirit forward" drinks, but there is something on the menu for everyone. I particularly liked the Bramble and the Violet! You're Turning Violet cocktails. We loved this place so much we came here two days in a row!

We have been looking for a spot like this for so long in Philadelphia! Their drinks are amazing and their charcuterie board is to die for! So happy we found this place!i

I've tried almost every drink on the menu here and you really can't go wrong. The drinks can take a little while, but be patient they are made fresh and well worth the wait, its not a service issue, theres one highly skilled bartender making every drink, they will be delicious. Highly recommend to everyone going to Philly who enjoys a good whiskey drink. side note: Dont skip the bacon.

The drinks were incredible, the design and vibe of the place was perfect and service was perfect. Definitely a fave

A new gem in the heart of Fishtown, boasting a number of super impressive cocktails. Everything was super tasty and we were happy to see the business adhering to strict Covid 19 safety measures with plenty of (spaced out) outdoor seating. I highly recommend going out of your way for a few drinks if you're in the neighborhood.

This little street in Kensington is becoming a must visit. Right next to Stateside vodka, you have tons of cocktail options and some amazing snacks too. We had the Old Fashioned, Vitamin D, Manhattans, marinated olives, candied bacon, and deviled eggs. Everything was amazing. The service was great too. The owner and his wife are busting their ass on food and drinks to make your experience over the top. Come support this place. Some of the best cocktails I've ever had and I've visited a number of NYC speakeasies.

Great spot to get a cocktail and some small plates. The outside seating is comfortable and the inside is really cool.

We've been coming here since it opened, probably had everything on the menu once or twice and never been disappointed. You always get time to enjoy the drink and socialize with friends without feeling like you're getting pushed out the door. Everything is amazingly made with a lot of care. Only downside is with all this hype you can't usually get in without a reservation on the weekend. Can't recommend enough!

I'm so glad this distillery opened in our neighborhood! Great cocktails & creative snacks/dessert- key lime pie bites covered in chocolate!The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Sat outdoors last night given the circumstances but the interior has such a charm to it. Can't wait to come back & bring others with us!
