Mad River Manayunk

Mad River is a great place to take somebody new to the area. The menu has a wide range of options and you can sit outside. Sometimes the service can be a bit slow during busy times but the food is always great, especially for the price. The chicken sandwich (Pictured) is always a great choice, as is the burger.

Awesome experience and best dance club.A Corona costs only $7 with around $6 for club entry

If your yuppie a$$ just got paid this Friday and doesn't mind blowing $50 on weak mixed drinks and light beer, then this is the place for you. If you have given up on your music taste in 2013 and you don't mind listening to Party Rock Anthem all night, then this is the place for you. If your personality is shallower than a day-old puddle and you don't mind sharing the dance floor with other people who don't have much going on besides work (or school) and drinking, this is the place for you. However, if you DO mind, then stay out of this place! Mad River is what happens when purgatory opens a bar. Mad River lures you in with what appear to be attractive people having fun, but as soon as you pay the cover charge, your excitement turns to ashes as you realize that you have sentenced yourself to $5 bud lights and the company of lame corporate zombies.

Mad River is a great time with great people for $5 entry on Fridays. Awesome crowd and the bartenders are great. The drinks are quite highly priced and not strong. That's the only thing to think about. other than this, this place is top notch

Terrible Staff. I went to this bar last night because my sister was in town and we wanted to try somewhere new. The bartender was very rude. As I waited for my drink to be prepared, I talked with my friends that came along. The bar was loud, I could not here the bartender and rather than coming over to grab my card he began throwing paper at straws at me to get my attention. He joked with the security guards and they all found it very funny (laughing at me) as he continued to do it if front of everyone. My sister called him out for being very rude and unprofessional. His response was to have security escort us out. I have never received such terrible customer service when going out. I cannot believe that we were treated so poorly and this will be my last time coming (not including my visit to speak with management). This place should really train their employees to be more courteous to those who are SPENDING THEIR MONEY to buy drinks at this bars. I expected decent service and did not even receive the bare minimum for my money spent (to get in, to buy drinks, and tip). DO BETTER!!!

Mad river is a great spot if you’re looking to have a great time!!! Their drink specials are unbeatable and their bartenders know how to make a good drink! The DJs play great music and it’s a great space for dancing too!! 100% would recommend going here!

A good college bar in the area. Covers are usually super cheap or free most night. Don’t go and expect something fancy because this ain’t it. But on weekend this is a great place to dance. Wing night is pretty bomb too

For a Thursday night, (no cover) got there 11:45 not too bad. Bartenders were good, space was clean including the bathroom. And the DJ Joe Broscoe kept the dance floor going. Wasn't overcrowded nice male to female ratio.
