Southern BBQ & Cajun fare w/ vegan options & vast beer
"Few places in Philly make great jambalaya and gumbo. Even fewer make stacked po’boys on French bread straight from NOLA. Luckily there’s Old City’s Khyber Pass. You could opt for the New Orleans-style sandwich topped with fried chicken (the real deal or vegan) or roast beef. But we get our po’boy as the seafood gods intended: topped with lettuce, tomato, a slather of mayo, and crispy fried shrimp. Praise be." - alison kessler, candis mclean
"There aren’t many places in this city serving good burgers and cajun food, and more specifically, cajun food that’s available until 1am. But Khyber Pass Pub is here to answer your prayers on a night when you need a second dinner at 11pm (or maybe when you've just seen a show at Khyber's events venue upstairs). Other than the Khyber gumbo, which is meaty and just a little spicy, they also have good po’boys and vegetarian food." - candis mclean, alison kessler

But Khyber Pass Pub is here to answer your prayers on a night when your friend wants to complain about paper straws or you want to see a show in their upstairs music venue space. Other than the Khyber gumbo, which is meaty and just a little spicy, they also have good po’boys and vegetarian food on the menu." - candis mclean
"Perhaps one of the most unique bar burgers in Philly, this iconic dish has a Southern twang in its appreciation of pickled green tomatoes and chipotle remoulade as toppings." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
"Khyber Pass Pub has been around since the 1800s and has all the dark wood and dim lighting you’d expect from a neighborhood bar you could spend all day inside. That is until you feel a cold brush of wind on your neck and remember the Old City bar is a ghost hotspot. At least, that’s what an owner claimed (she even vowed to add to the spirit tally herself when she passed). But don’t let the paranormal atmosphere keep you from biting into one of the best burgers in town, listening to some good live music, or having a full-on dance party with someone who may be 300 years old." - candis mclean
