The Newest Restaurants In Philadelphia - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Lion Sports Bar in Chinatown has Happy Hour daily and during the late-night hours (10pm-12am) on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. There’s also free karaoke on Wednesday nights, if the Phillies game, wings, and fries aren’t enough entertainment for you. We checked out Lion Sports Bar. Read our thoughts here." - candis mclean, alison kessler

The Best Break-Up Spots In Philly This Summer - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"So they’re weeping and saying that you should try couples therapy—or at least watch the show on TV. Well, that’s what you think they said, because you’re at Lion Sports Bar in Chinatown and you can’t hear them over the Phillies game. The bar has good beef skewers and wings, but their sound system—which gets Lincoln Financial Field-loud—is the draw here. Stop by during Happy Hour when shrimp and pork wontons, a chili dog, and beer are all under $5. That’s also when it’s so packed that you won’t be able to understand the pleading happening across from you. Or won't care because you're two Jell-O shots deep and the bartender has gorgeous eyes." - candis mclean

The 21 Best Sports Bars In Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Sports bars come in all shapes and (TV) sizes. Take Lion Sports Bar in Chinatown, for example—it opens at 7am on the weekends, offers free karaoke at 9 pm, and has a large Chinese-inspired food menu to boot. There are around 35 screens, but what Bryce Harper does on them shouldn’t have all your attention. Save that for the golf ball-sized pork soup dumplings, $1.50 smoky shrimp skewers during happy hour, and groups doing Pop Rocks Jell-O shots every time the Phils score a run. Come in and cheer for your favorite team or your friend’s Chappell Roan imitation. Whichever comes first." - candis mclean

We got cheese steak egg rolls and buffalo wings and they were both amazing. The egg rolls had a Chinatown flair and we're so crispy and juicy. They had all the football games I wanted to see and the Phils of course. We chatted up our bar neighbors and Bri gave us the best service! It was exactly what we were looking for on a Sunday in Philly.

We came here on a Saturday and were pleasantly surprised that they have happy hour 4-6. We ordered a bunch of apps to share and the shark bite shots. The food was very good and fresh. The wings were also only .50 because the Phillies were playing. They were very meaty and a good amount of spice. Our bartender Victorand Bre were awesome and super friendly. We would definitely come back.

Great view of any TV in the place. Staff is very helpful in making you feel welcomed and making sure you're watching the game(s) you'd like to see. We only had appetizers, but I'm quite sure the menu is full of great selections

me and my friends went out during Eagles game today and the food. Here is delicious. Definitely recommend the wings onion rings and generals nachos. The drinks are really good too. Me and my friends ordered lychee teeny and mango Margarita. we were served by dandi who is an excellent bartender definitely recommend him to make your lychee tini.

I came in for my birthday week on Thursday and met Clarice and came in today for a quick bite and met dandy. Fantastic service both nights and I’m making friends with regulars. Will make sure to stop in again. Before I leave Sunday.

Been here twice for happy hour. Nice atmosphere. The French fries and Taiwanese popcorn chicken were so good. Perfect amount of salt. Great service brought to you by Brianna. Thanks! 🙏🏾

The Wife and I stopped by for some cocktails and were happy with our experience. Great service and great dumplings. We were only there for a few drinks and some finger food. But the wings were super popular and they looked great! We were only in town for a day so didn't have time to come back. I would recommend it if you are in the area. Oh, I enjoyed my old fashions - I had more than one.

So this place is across the street and where Ding Feng Tang used to be below Tango. They just opened last month in the spot and have brought back some of the old spots Menu items like the skewers. Happy Hour specials are banging and they have all sorts of events. They even open early for Soccer matches. Their instagram is lit so check that for the most current specials. As they are very new things will likely get tweaked and added. They even have late night happy hour for night owls like me. Food: I've been here four times so far, there's so much to munch on and it's all been delicious. Margaritas: Fresh and Sour and Yummy, The Mango With Tajin is sinful and a must have. Rum Punch: The pineapple is fresh, you can tell by the foam. To people saying the drinks are high, fresh ingredients yield quality and are more expensive. anyone can crack open a lame can of dole, serve it for 2 dollars less and give you a much worse product. This drink was so yummy I had two that night. I think only a few dashes of bitters could have improved things. Buffalo wings: Crispy, Yummy, everything you could want from a buffalo wing. These came out fast and crisp even on the Phillies Opening day. I'd have preferred Bleu cheese and carrots over ranch and celery but I am weird. Crystal Shrimp Dumplings: So Big and juicy! Beautiful too. I had to open wide and enjoyed chewing every mouthful of juicy shrimp with their dumpling dip sauce. Dan Dan Noodles: Best thing I've eaten here so far. They do ask you if you are okay with spice for this and the skewers. As a Chili-head I was all the way in. The noodles were so toothsome and yummy, and I loved the contrast the pork and peanuts gave. This is a rockstar example of a dish you need to nail in this neighborhood. Skewers: Pork Belly wrapped Mushrooms, Shrimp, Lamb, Beef, and Chicken are all on offer currently. The meats were tender and delicious, not dry like some skewers can be. This is something I'd love to see them expand and perhaps serve with a dip? In any case 7.50 for multiple skewers of juicy meat is a deal you shouldn't miss. As of Writing this I hear they are testing $1.50 Skewers on Wednesdays after 7. Shrimp and Pork Wontons: A Lovely snack and so cheap during happy hour. The dumpling skins were perfect, I loved the sauce enough I took a big sip, and the filling was plentiful and juicy. Several of my neighbors complimented the Corn Ribs and Philly Cheeseteak Eggrolls. Both looked and smelled delicious. Service: Kind friendly staff were happy to chat and answer questions. They make you really want to come back. For me moving to a new city can be lonely, coming here truly made me filled with joy. They want you to have a great experience. Atmosphere: A Long beautiful bar greets you with double doors that can open on nice weather. There are more TV's in here than I have ever seen outside of maybe a best buy. Have a Group? They have tables for dining in the back where they also host music and Karaoke. They have slots and I think I saw a Claw Machine? Or Perhaps that was wishful thinking. It's spotless and very contemporary. Summary: Do you want to go to a bar on Arch Street. Here, you go here. I do so several times a week! :)

10% off for medical workers all day every day. $3 breakfast Guiness with Real Madrid finals on tv, after my early shift ended? Yes please lol. "Breakfast" menu includes all from the appetizers list and chicken wings. "Lightly" seasoned sweet potato fries was really heavily coated with the sugar seasoning. Lots of fried foods for the morning rush if that's your thing. Cucumbers and Edamame for the not fried stuffs Guinness tasted lighter than usual which is weird . Group agreed.

I got the chicken and beef skewers and some beer. Honestly, the beef skewers were so tender and yummy. Chicken was good too. It wasn't very crowded on a Friday evening but I know the place can get wild when sports are on with their specials and the fans.

Seemingly great new spot opened in Chinatown - sports bar with tons of TVs to watch your fav team games. There is a long bar in the front half of the place and then a big back room with many tables. Sports memorabilia everywhere and the vibe is great, can't wait to see it during game day. Had some cocktails and they were good. Didn't get food this trip but the nachos and sandwiches were huge! Heard good things. They have special 7am opening on weekends to show soccer (football) games so will be great place to watch sports. Thanks

So the place was cool but drinks seemed a little on the high side. One Espolon shot was $15, I think that's a bit much for a bar like this. Food took a little long to come out in my opinion. Although The nachos were tasty, but I'm not running back for them anytime soon. The staff were nice. We plan to give it another try during happy hour. There is a touchtunes present. But basically if I want to go watch a game or something for more than an hour I would not come here because paying $15 per shot is a bit much for Espolon that costs 35ish a bottle.

Bartender very rude. Had to leave. Sat for 10 minutes at an empty bar waiting for a drink. Then I made the mistake to ask for Sunday night baseball game to be on theTV. It was like pulling teeth. Found a way nicer bar right around the corner

I had an amazing experience at Lion! The environment is clean and for food their skewers are amazing, their general tsos nachos are to die for. They truly are a unique experience. On top of that the bartenders are very nice and friendly. Ashley had great customer service and made very tasty cocktails AND mocktails on the fly. I will be here regularly.

I'm waiting to see if after the third time will they get it right meanwhile 7-11 in the close with the in and out hotdog with all the fixing for $3 without a hour wait go figure!!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Jase isn't just a bartender--he's an artist, a therapist, and a life coach all poured into one shaker. From the moment I sat down, Jase greeted me with a warmth that felt like reconnecting with an old friend. He asked what kind of flavors I liked, and instead of handing me a menu, he crafted a specialty cocktail on the spot that was nothing short of magic--balanced, bold, and totally unique, just like the moment. But what truly set Jase apart was the conversation. Between mixing drinks and effortlessly managing the bar, he somehow found the time to really listen. When I mentioned a dream I'd been too scared to chase, Jase shared his own journey--how he took risks, trusted his gut, and refused to settle. It wasn't preachy. It was real. Honest. And exactly what I needed to hear. By the time I left, I had more than just the taste of the best cocktail I've ever had--I had the fire in my chest to go after what I want. If you're lucky enough to find yourself in a bar where Jase is behind the counter, stay awhile. Order something off-menu. And prepare to leave not just satisfied, but inspired. Thanks, Jase--you're the real deal.

The deals are amazing, lovely tap selection. Our Bartender Ashley was so friendly and on the ball with orders, we never had an empty drink

Great happy hour deals and such a vibrant spot. We got the house wine, fries, mozzarella stick, and wontons and it was all very yummy. We went on a Wednesday and service was great but wish we went on a day with an actual game. I can tell it could be very lively there. Ready to give it a 5 once I see this bar in action.

Jean V.

Yelp
Out of towners visiting and picked the closest place. On a Thursday, the crowd was lively with well played live music. The service was appropriate with the size of crowd. The drinks were typical for location, the food was fairly priced for the quality. Overall, very much enjoyed date night in a safe place!

Ray R.

Yelp
I don't trust easily. But the moment Jase slid that Old Fashioned across the bar with a wink and a dad-joke? Trust built. He's part bartender, part therapist, part magician. He made a drink for my friend that wasn't even on the menu--it tasted like vacation, forgiveness, and a tax refund. We don't deserve Jase. 10/10 would let Jase ruin my liver again.
