"This buzz-worthy hotspot has been impressing diners with their generous seafood portions, tasty charbroiled oysters, and well-seasoned fish. Add a tower to upgrade your raw bar experience — and take advantage of the fact that this spot stays open until 2 am." - Ernest Owens
"This new addition to Center City has been impressing diners with their generous seafood towers, tasty charbroiled oysters, and well-seasoned fish. The raw bar experience is ideal for a fun happy hour or a late night bite — that you can take advantage of until 2 am." - Ernest Owens
"Center City’s latest seafood addition has a lively brunch that’s filled with familiar dishes and inventive options. For those wanting comfort food, try their banana foster brioche French toast, lemon ricotta buttermilk pancakes, and shrimp and grits. For the experimental diners, try their croque monsieur, chicken and sausage gumbo, and live lobster." - Ernest Owens
"Loch Bar brings this Maryland favorite to the city of brotherly love and sisterly affection with a splash. Here, there’s three fruity renditions (orange, cosmo, and grapefruit) that are all made with their respective Eddy Vodka flavors, fresh fruit, triple sec, and Sprite. And then they have a special green tea crush that’s made with Paddy’s Irish Whiskey, peach, lemon, and Sprite. In other words, this is the official bar for crushes in Philly all summer long." - Ernest Owens
"One of the newest additions to the Philly food scene, Loch Bar has made quite a splash since its opening in late 2023. Its brunch menu is full of fantastical seafood dishes like its buttermilk-fried jumbo shrimp and stone-ground grits, complete with scallions and nduja butter (made from prosciutto and peppers, giving it a little kick)." - George Banks-Weston
