Tiki - Review - Midtown Village - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Tiki is a tiki bar in Midtown Village that you go to when you want to feel like you’re at a college party for the night. It’s two floors, both of which are equally rowdy, and they serve large format drinks in things like mini Yeti coolers. You’ll see a lot of drunk people singing along to Fall Out Boy and Usher and will probably get stepped on at least once by someone jumping off of an elevated surface, but that’s why you come here - to drink a lot and pretend you’re still in the age range that wakes up without hangovers." - Sydney McElwee

Lucky 13 has been around for a long time. I fortunately was asked to go for a bite to eat. There is a bar and tables. We opted to sit at a table. We had the pleasure of meeting Clark, the bartender, who was very nice. What really made us want to try this place, was of course, the food. We also had the pleasure of meeting Aaron, and he literally could cook for me, anytime. We had the fish and chips and the Buttermilk chicken sandwich with waffle fries. The food was fresh, served hot, and just delicious! Yes, I would definitely return for the food and the pleasant service.

Pub atmosphere. Good beer. Honey buffalo wings are on point.

Randomly found this bar walking back from an Eagles game and it was an amazing time. My drink was great and the wings were some of the best I've ever had. Amazing, will be back soon.

Visited whilst on holiday from Scotland, I guess it's a neighbourhood bar but we got a warm welcome and chatted to locals

Nice vibes, delicious food. Got the brisket empanadas, buttermilk chicken sandwich, and brisket dip sandwich. All delicious. Drinks did the trick!

I have been here four times over the course of about two years and I swear they must have some anti-hand soap agenda. I’ve only ever gone during the daytime/early evening, and not once has there been legitimate hand soap in their single-stall bathroom; it’s always some watered down remnants of soap. I guess I’ve always missed the off-occasions where that one watery refilled bottle of hand soap is fresh? It’s a shame because they have fantastic wings which is what kept me coming back- I especially love their fire sauce, super spicy with great flavor. But most importantly, I’d love to be able to wash my hands before and after eating said wings. Once, twice - maybe a coincidence. But four visits and no soap? I’d also like to add that the bathroom had a very pungent smell of urine during our most recent visit. I worry what the back of house is like if that’s how the front of house is presented to customers. What’s the deal?!

Server was perfectly nice, spot was clean and bar was cool, but $16+ for a martini special that was (witnessed to be) Bankers Club, Hershey's chocolate syrup and Baileys was kind of a deal breaker.

Great hole in the wall, we were walking down the street and came across this hidden gem. Great wings! Great service! If I'm in the area in the future I'll totally stop by for a cold one!

A nice dive bar with shockingly good food and reasonable prices. Bar tenders and services are always kind and attentive, whether you're at the bar with someone else or a large group. They have really tasty fried brussel sprouts and waffle fries (love waffle fries), and a really nice amount of vegetarian / vegan options for folks like their neighbor triangle tavern. I think I prefer lucky 13's food, though!

My friend and I were at a meet up near this bar on Sunday night and wanted drinks and food at 830 pm. I did a search and found Lucky 13 and I'm so glad I did. The vibe is fantastic. It's reminiscent of a simpler time in Philly when good food , a nice long bar and decent cocktails were served up on a countertop while listening to Erasure ring from the speakers. (I'm partial to Erasure. I saw them in concert. Ha!) The cocktails were strong (She knew how to mix!) and the Manhattan cherry was delicious! The waffle fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! This is definitely going to be a go-to spot for me now that I know it's there. And our meet up is every second Sunday a month. That's when you'll find us at Lucky's!

Solid enough spot in a great location. Haven't tried food but been for drinks and this is your standard watering hole which gets a good crowd

I visited for first time last night. Loved the brisket sandwich accompanied by roasted Brussels sprouts. The playlist brought me back to my youth in the 80's with its new wave flavor. A great chill dive-bar vibe with the decor. I will be back.

If you have not been here yet, what are you waiting for? On my first venture here, I had the most amazing food and amazing drinks with excellent service. The buttermilk chicken sandwich is one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in Philadelphia. In addition, the chicken empanadas and the macaroni and cheese are out of this world. Definitely get the notorious fig Manhattan as a cocktail. You can't go wrong.

My friends and I came here as part of the East Passyunk Witch Craft Beer Crawl. I was super happy that they had a vegan appetizer option as part of the specials for the beer crawl (seitan wings). They were spicy and delicious! The beer deal for the crawl was a stout which many of us weren't feeling, so we got other drinks. I thought the prices for the drinks were a bit steep ($14 for a small Sazerac, $10 for a small pour of a seasonal pumpkin beer on tap). Service was good, especially for our large table. Overall, I would eat/drink here again, but would need to be a bit more discerning about which drinks to order to get a better deal.

Nice dive bar to go hang out with friends. Their food n drink menu isn't large, but they do have great selections. Very good chicken sandwich and their waffles fries are A+. Good prices and people here, worth stopping in.

Extremely bad vibes. The service is bad. The food is bad. This place sucks. I don't understand the loyalty. I get indigestion from the food and the staff is rude.

Comfortable, friendly neighborhood bar. It's been our go-to for the past 10 years and I'm so glad it's in our neighborhood. Menu is on the smaller side but everything is great, and there's always a solid beer selection. The music is also on point 1000% of the time.

I've been coming to this place for a couple years and Lucky 13 (named for the street it's on) has an excellent selection of beer, drinks, and food. What I especially like is that they have something for everyone-- great chicken wings AND vegan wings, great beer AND cocktails... you get the picture. Carnivore or vegetarian, beer guzzler or cocktail connoisseur, you'll be welcomed here. Lucky 13 is one of those "dive bars" that you can bring your parents to -- in all the best ways. I recommend this bar to everyone.

Just moved to the area, have been here twice now. Great and friendly service each time I've been there. First time, my sister and I ordered some drinks, wings and waffle fries. Would highly recommend the wings and waffle fries. I thought the beer selection was odd but not in a bad way. The place definitely has a more divey feel, but the beer options were not your typical choices, which was kinda cool. Second time, didnt gave any food, but still fast and friendly service.

This might be helpful to some. Although I identify as trans female and I am still in transition, this bar welcomed me with open arms. It's not a palace. It's a corner bar. But a nice friendly and cozy little spot with a decent menu for drinks and food until midnight. They play decent music while they also offer music machine for a buck and a few songs. It can be very busy on weekends. And can be slow on weekdays.. as I see. Also in the day, they have seating for regular eating. Polite staff.. I'll be back..

I came here during PBW's "Craft Beer Day" last weekend. I had previously tried their food at other events a few different times and always enjoyed it, but had never actually made it to the bar. During my visit, they had a DJ playing retro music and the vibe was mellow overall. Really nice. My friend and I were able to grab two seats at the bar. She ordered nachos (they were good). I ordered two beers during my time there and each time I did, the bartender questioned me on my choices. I assume it was because one of the beers was newly-released (Victory's Sour Monkey) and another was a stout and it's hot outside (I like stouts quite a bit and I don't drink by the seasons). She was really hesitant about the Sour Money -- even giving a sample of it first before a full glass. This was nice since I got more of it for the price and that beer is great. I'd consider returning to Lucky 13 in the future for a casual day and to try more food.

Went here with some friends for beer and grub. Beer menu was pretty great, the physical drink menu has cocktail specials and bottled beers while the giant chalkboard in the back features what is on the tap. (Was pleasantly surprised to see that had Racer 5 on tap!) I had their lucky burger which had promise but was pretty disappointed when I found that my burger was cooked well done instead of medium like I asked. It just tasted like a giant meatball with cheese on a bun. Fries we decent, crispy and mixed together (regular cut and sweet potato) which I thought was neat. Also, tried my friends mac and cheese which was surprisingly delicious, creamy and crunchy would definitely like to have more of that next time we are in the area.

This is a great bar! Daily specials are awesome. The owner is a peach, the bartenders are friendly (Mandy is our favorite, but they are all lovely) - nice atmosphere, good food, good music & a nice crowd of regulars. What more could ya ask for? Nothing. There's nothing more. That's the answer. Okay thank you goodbye

13 is one of my favorite numbers (I feel that holding bad luck so closely can lead to good luck). So that was the first incentive for me to check out this place when I saw it listed in Philly Weekly. The second incentive was seeing the Sailor Jerry style tattooed women that was it's logo, and reading that they hooked up food like mushroom risotto and mac and cheese. I also liked the idea that it was another place to explore in Passyunk, and that it was more than a little bit punk rock. Just like me. I meant to go sooner, but sometimes I'm a total slacker :( But my punk rock friend from Cleveland was visiting South Philly during the holidays and we needed a good bar to reminisce in. So I figured what could be better? And I found Lucky 13 to be a bar that more people need to know about. As soon as I walked in I was happy to hear Misfits blaring on the jukebox. But it was well rounded enough to offer Devo, Bowie, The Pixies, Weezer, Lou Reed and then some! The beer selection was perfect albeit a little more on the hoppy side of the spectrum, and they even hooked up a city wide special. If the Mushroom risotto didn't have a squash that tasted like sweet potatoes (one of my kryptonites!) it would have been one of the best I've ever had. next time I going to have to keep it simple with the comfort of mac and cheese and chicken wings. So as long as 13 leads to good music, beer, and food than it might just be lucky for all of us. Now I'm going to have to go and rain on Jason's parade.

I am pretty certain this place has the best Fish and Chips in Philly! (Yes, even better than the Dandelion, and at half the cost!) The Fish and Chips comes with two large, house breaded fish pieces!! This is real, fluffy fish with a soft yet crunchy battered outside. The house fries here are waffle fries and super fresh! Sprinkled with seasoning. They also serve a banging fried chicken patty sandwich! Average entree prices were $14. Bathrooms have chalkboards and you can write fun messages! Definitely will be back.

Stopped in here for a Friday happy hour drink. Seems to be a " locals spot." Where else but South Philly are you going to find two guys at the end of the bar debating what order you should fry things in? (Turns out it's veggies first, then fish, then meat.) Anyway, the bar was pretty empty; I'm told that's an odd occurrence. For us, it was great. Just a laid back week-ending cocktail and the Phils game on the tv screen. My friend asked for something interesting and received a can of Old Chub Scotch Ale. My regular vodka sprite was at least what it should be (and honestly, I can't say that of everywhere). We split an order of crab spring rolls, which were plenty tasty, but set on a giant bed of wasted lettuce. Overall, Lucky 13 seems like it could be a good semi-regular alternative to the POPE once fall/winter weather hits (it's a bit warm otherwise). Lucky 13's a bit on the small-side, but to its credit, the hipster-to-normal person ratio is better. And points for the bartender for not minding that 3 of us sat for an extra hour and nerded out over cameras without really ordering anything else. Guess that's okay when you have toys on the top shelf of the bar instead of liquor.

I've been here a couple times, and it's a pretty nice, hipster, neighborhood-appropriate spot. There's usually some PBC draft for about $3 and then a lot of other hoppy or spicy choices on up. I haven't tried the food here yet, but the menu looks pretty good. Whether you're looking for traditional wings, nachos and quesadillas, or "something more" like a veggie loaf, steak sandwich, or fishNchips, it's on their menu. I should really stop by here sometime and try a dinner entree! Not that I really visited it, but the men's restroom is rumored to be lined in pictures of naked women! The women's restroom isn't quite as exciting. If you're in the 'hood and need a beer, try this local little jawn.

I stopped here on a birthday crawl, and it didn't disappoint. The beer selection was much better than I expected, and I was quite surprised with the men's restroom. If you're not in to naked women, then I'd suggest you hold it and use the restroom at another bar. The women's restroom was much more classy- not that I used it. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to try any food, but my friends who did said it was pretty good. The only downside was that the bar was small, and it can become quite challenging to make it from one end to the other. It's still a great bar though, and I plan to go back soon.

*sigh* I really want to like this place. It's a cool punk rock bar that gravitates more towards metal and the classics. It's cramped, and parts of the kitchen are actually located IN the dining area which can be annoying. The food is just kinda meh. It's not as bad as fast food, but not as good as nearly any bar in the surrounding area. The main problem with the food is that it reads well on the menu, but when you see the plate you can tell that the person preparing has stopped giving a shit. The service, however, SUCKS. It's slow, pissy, grouchy, snarky, rude, inaccurate, etc. Just generally shitty. If you go for a drink and sit at a table, you'll be lucky to get two drinks before happy hour is over. Bar service is probably the better choice if you're just getting drinks. Music is great though. Lots of Danzig, Iron Maiden, and stuff like that.

This is an update from my last review just over a year ago... Why change a good thing?? Lucky 13 has always been my go to place but now.. not so much. They have done away with their awesome regular/sweet potato fries and now serve waffle fries which are better at Chick-fil-a... The music chosen for the evening was far from the norm.. rap where every other word was f this and f that.. I'm far from a prude, but I honestly could not wait to leave as it was really getting on my nerves. The nachos were nothing exciting.. Needless to say I won't be back any time soon...

I'm very sorry, but I NEED to ask...what happened to the old chef? The food quality turned from great to not even mediocre. My boyfriend and I used to come to lucky 13 once a week to eat the jerk wings and amazing regular/sweet potato fries and now this bar is completely off our "go-to spot" list. The waffle fries are always burnt, the wing sauce is terrible (any flavor) and the menu has changed drastically. We want the old lucky back...and the chef.

I've only been twice, but I really like Lucky 13. My first visit was several years ago for some drinks. Not sure why it took me so long to return but it was selected as our meeting place for Saturday night's shenanigans and it was just right. The bartender was friendly and fast with slinging our drinks. Several rounds ended up costing far less than I anticipated, a welcome respite in this world of fourteen dollar cocktails in which we live. The music was on point and just loud enough. The TVs were programmed to whatever games were taking place. The bathroom was clean and I especially liked the cool throwback photos adorning the walls (Bridget Bardot - meow!). I've heard the food is surprisingly delicious and I'm looking forward to seeing for myself next time.

The food at Lucky 13 really was tasty. I wasn't sure what to expect - it's dark, they were playing Guns 'n' Roses which morphed into some speed metal eventually...I don't equate any of that necessarily with good eats. The beer choices were standard and tasty. They were better than standard but we're gettin spoiled now in this city! Had some great familiar local brews that hit the spot. I got the smoked trout sandwich and it was huge and fresh tasting. Reminded me of whitefish a lot and I was a big fan of the potato salad which wasn't that gross mayonnaisey nonsense but full of pep and flavor and ...yum. My friend got something involving catfish which looked really impressive - it even had little crafish on top. Who knew? I guess my only real complaint was the music. Luckly it changed when some kind dudes took over the jukebox. I didn't expect them to be playing the soundtrack to Les Mis or Celine Dion or anything but, loud thrashing hardcore speed metal whatever the hell it was isn't conducive to eating this lovely food and enjoying brews. It makes you want to throw your barstool at someone's head. I sensed the staff dug it but you gotta think of your clientele too, friends. Service was nice, not awesome, but friendly and fine. I'll be back but I'll make sure to take control of the jukebox immediately.

Nothing against everyone else's opinion, but REALLY? This place has an average of 4 stars? I really just don't get this place. It's just kind of there, to be perfectly honest. I've been here a handful of times thus far and never really felt a good vibe from it. The bar is on the smaller side, and I'm really not quite sure where this "stellar" beer list is. They have some gems, yes, but half the time they are out of the beer that I ask for and don't have a replacement. The staff is also lacking. Well, that's not really fair actually. I've only had one server there (the skinny, really pretty one) and she's just really not there at all, both in terms of her service and her knowledge of the product. Her manhattans were among the worst I've ever tasted and she was more focused on her male bar customers than me and my then-boyfriend. Not that I deserve all the attention, but I don't think going up to the bar to ask for the bill or a glass of water should be necessary when you are offering table service. I haven't been there since that incident so I have no idea if she's still there or not, but I'd be wary. The food is kind of alright. Everyone raves about their mac and cheese, which I haven't tried because I incorporate enough cheese in basically every meal as it is, but the food that I tasted was bland. The deconstructed meatball sandwich was basically a bowl of meatballs and sauce with a side of cheesy garlic bread. The meatballs were kind of bland so I didn't particularly enjoy it much, mostly because the cheesy garlic bread was the best part and I could've made that home for free. My ex had the tuna sandwich (I think?) and he also wasn't a fan. I really wanted to like this place when it first opened up, but I just can't. I think the only reason I would go back is because they have a Ms. Pac Man table becase really, who doesn't love a good game of Pac Man?

Located a couple of 'hoods away from my own, I get the distinct feeling each time I come to Lucky 13 that I'm a somewhat-unwanted usurper invading someone else's neighborhood bar. I understand and don't hold a grudge for that, but it's worth pointing out. Seating is tight and not particularly comfortable. The beer selection is decent and adequate. The fried chicken and meatloaf dinners are VERY good. Men will enjoy the "wallpaper" in the men's room, but the women I've gone with to Lucky 13 are a bit pissed about the fact that similar "accommodation" hasn't been grabted to them. Gotta say I agree wit that sentiment: Why not do the same for the ladies, Lucky 13? On odd mix of hipsters and old-schoolers make up the clientele, but hey: that's an accurate reflection of the area. Thesis: A decent enough place with its own particular and authentic vibe, but at the end of the day not special enough to be worth a trip for outsiders.

I was really in the mood for fries. Really just ready to eat the shit outta some delicious fries. Maybe if I wasn't having such a craving I would have liked their "shoestring style" fries. But they just tasted like potato chips and left me unsatisfied. My mac & cheese was really peppery but alright I guess. Food aside, Lucky 13 was a really sweet bar. Nice beer selection, great jukebox, good service. Small and loud and fun on a Friday night. I'd go back to drink there for sure.

I went there when it first opened on one of the coldest nights this past winter. They pride themselves on a stellar beer selection and a cool, dark vibe. Jukebox went all night long with everything from the Buzzcocks to the late great Michael Jackson. I was with a large group of people out for someone's birthday and wanted to order some snacks for the table. When I tried to order fries, I was surprised to hear that they didn't have a fryer. We ordered a shrimp dish, which was excellent, but fries would have been perfect. Hoping they have added that since. Perfect addition to Passyunk Ave

Lucky 13 Pub. It's great. But it's special to people who grew up loving punk, tattoos, sailors, whisky, dive bars, studded belts, Black Flag, the Clash, Horror Movies, and Science Fiction Its like if I kept all the bric-a-brac I always thought was cool, and then started a clubhouse. Some reviews seem to indicate that they don't "get" the bar. If you don't like these things, it's not like you're left out of some inside joke, or excluded, it's just not your thing. It's not like I "get" boom boom dance clubs or meat head bars. They're different animals, and have different merits. So if you come in to Lucky's and think its weird, it aint no thang, you're just not on the same page. But anyway, onto the bar. The food is good. It's filling, and comes out on time. The beer is up my alley and reasonably priced. The clientele is mixed, in a good way. The service is friendly, and if you like pop culture, you're in the right place for a great discussion. And the jukebox is stuffed with awesome punk, alternative, weird stuff to keep it interesting. A good way to describe this place: It would be great for a date. Especially if he or she was wearing a Misfits shirt on her match.com profile picture.

Spotluck pointed us in the direction of this place. I couldn't be happier. The food was amazing. The broccoli cheese bites were excellent, I can never look at the crappy freezer ones the same again. So much flavor the food was great and the servers and the atmosphere were great, not super packed on a Friday night and not jam packed with crappy food. Small menu that they do amazingly. Can't wait to go back.

I'd give this place 3.5 stars rather than 4, but it gets a little extra credit for being so close to my house. This is where my boyfriend and I end up if we're too tired to cook on a weeknight and don't feel like walking three blocks to POPE, or where we spend an hour or two on a Saturday afternoon. I appreciate the vegetarian and vegan stuff on the menu. My favorite sandwich is called the Dick Allen, which consists of chunks of firm tofu (baked, I think?) in goat cheese with cranberry sauce on a long roll. The mac and cheese is pretty good too, but it's so filling and the portion is huge, and so I usually don't get it because I can't bear to imagine how many calories it contains. The beer selection isn't great. There are usually just a handful on tap, and maybe two or three that are a decent ABV, but they have lots more in bottles. I have found the cocktails to be weak. I've fallen for their cocktail specials and I'm usually let down. The music can be awful -- loud hardcore/metal at times. Other times it's not too bad. But when it's super annoying, we have actually gone to sit outside. Oh yeah, there are about four tables on the sidewalk, which can be nice in the warm weather. Despite its reputation as having a hipster crowd, I've found the clientele to be mixed, from neighborhood homeowners like me and my boyfriend, to older folks, to the young and tattooed. It's a pretty chill place, so you'll fit in no matter what.

Great location bar near Passyunk ave. Their wings are great (try the dry rub). The music sometimes a bit loud for the size of this bar but whatev... The service is ok, nothing special. Just the server doing their job. The addition of their 2nd floor is great but it seems like its affecting the service quality. The server have to get all the food and drinks from the first floor and bring them up to the 2nd floor. Great for leg workout but I don't think the server would like this additional workout session added to their job. I hope they have a separate bar area at the 2nd floor and better food delivery system from the kitchen on the 1st floor to the 2nd floor. I'd give them 3/5 but because of their great wings, I give this place 4/5.

Look h8rs. I live what is essentially right over Lucky 13. And I love it. Yes, it's dark. Yes, the bartenders can be cold to strangers. Yes, there's not much room. Yes, there are only five beers on tap, of which only one is usually good. But, yes, they'll get to know you, and, yes, lo and behold Clark is an amazing guy. Yes, the menu is honest and the food just damn good. Yeah, they sell and fill growlers. Oh and, yes, it's the kind of place where sometimes when it's 2 am and you're just not ready to go home, the door locks but nothing else changes. Lucky 13 is my corner bar. And I want to keep it that way.

What else do you need in a bar other than good drinks, good eats, and good people? I love going here. It's the Food Gal and my go-to spot. Watching a Phils game and want to loaf around, imbibe a little while watching the best team of our lifetime? Luck's is the spot. Looking to swill in a bottomless glass on your own without being disturbed? Pull up a chair and talk to Faith or Clark. Or just be anti-social and drink yourself under the table. Late nite with a group of friends? Skip the POPE- go to Lucky's. The back is a great spot for just holing up with a few besties, drinking your fill and being a loud dumbass. Want a bite after work? Lucky's has some damn good food. Love the mac n cheese and deconstructed meatball. The cheese is mild, the penne is delic, and the breadcrumbs crunchy. Also, a fucking AWESOME punkrock jukebox. Definitely in the Top 5. One of my favorite spots in the wonderful City of Brotherly Love.

Nice addition to the South Philly pub scene. Good luck finding it if you're not used to the area... The atmosphere is cool although a bit cramped at the bar. Head for the tables in the back if you have a group. The food is amazing. At first, I doubted the many cuisine influences on the menu (Mexican, French, Italian, American, etc.); but I was sold after my first plate of merguez sausage & peppers style. Merguez is one of my favorite foods: moroccan lamb sausage (I suspect they may make it themselves). But italian style with onions, peppers and gravy? Well it's delicious !!! I had it again since ;) I hope to hang at Lucky 13 more and try more of the international dishes soon.

One of my go-to spots in the hood. It has great service and great food. I consider myself a lover of wings and they have some of the best in the city.

They have vegan wings now! Go now! Also just overall an awesome, fun, late night spot with good bartenders and a mellow crowd.

Very decent place for Sunday afternoon lounging... Friendly bartender, $3 bloodys and mimosas...I didn't eat but some of our friends did and their brunch looks goooooooood. Not as an extensive beer selection as you can find elsewhere in the city, but if you serve Bell's, I'm instantly a fan.

We went here for drinks, to kill an hour before reservations for another restaurant. We walked in and nobody tried to seat us. We asked the bunch of people near the bar (who appeared to work there) where we could sit and one of them reluctantly answered "yeah" when we asked if we could sit in the back. One woman was blocking the entryway to the back room and didn't move to let us pass. And she worked there! We ordered 4 drinks. One was made well - actually tasted like a cocktail. Red wine, tequila, peach nectar and St. Germaine. Two people got the Lucky Lemonade and Kentucky Tea. The drinks were mainly ice and water. I'm not kidding. We couldn't taste the alcohol, we couldn't taste anything. We were so put out by now I asked for the check, paid and left. For $40! I should've fought for a refund or complained but we all wanted to get out of there.

Your basic neighborhood dive bar, but the food really is excellent, and not even "for a bar". Wings specifically are awesome, the best i've had in Philadelphia. Props
