Harp & Crown

"This venue from acclaimed restaurateur and chef Michael Schulson has become a brunch institution. The $38-per-person brunch buffet (or $25 for children under 10) is legendary — taste the filling omelets, line up at the create-your-own donut station (complete with a toppings bar), and relish an array of fruits and freshly squeezed juices, meat and cheese boards, sandwiches, bagels with lox and more. This is not a drill — make a reservation now." - Eater Staff, Ernest Owens

"For some, Harp and Crown is a casual-yet-pricey dinner spot where you can get small plates like toast topped with crab and avocado or hamachi rice cracker, and generous mains, like the pork chop milanese and a juicy dry-aged burger. For others, the downstairs is ideal for bowling and wood-fired pizza. Whichever way you go, the Center City spot is a certified scene (and one of the more popular Happy Hour spots in town). Plus, with antique fixtures like old framed black-and-white photos and throwback leather booths, it feels like it got dressed up for a prohibition-era theme party and decided to stick with the costume. " - candis mclean

"For a group dining experience that’s easy to book, you can’t miss Harp & Crown in Center City. They offer everything from lamb meatballs to grilled octopus to top-tier cocktails (such as their sandia spritz that’s made with gin, watermelon, lemon, and prosecco) ensuring everyone has something to explore and try. For a bit of added fun, the lower level features a two-lane bowling alley with drinks and food. Reservations can be made for up to ten people, but this spacious restaurant can easily accommodate larger groups." - Ernest Owens, George Banks-Weston

"You might not guess from the outside, but Harp & Crown is enormous, so feel free to come with your friends, intramural kickball team, or the entire office. The cocktails are strong, and we always love a place where you can bowl, eat some pizza, and finish things off with a whoopie pie." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"This vast, lovely bi-level space is perfect for a lively wedding reception or bachelor’s party given its pair of bars and a basement bowling alley. You can book your private event here." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff
