What an amazing place! I didn’t know this building was so huge. Massive place and great beer. Also the food is pretty good as well. We got a huge assortment of food, wings, fries etc. This place is littered with amazing photos and art about American history, very cool! It’s kinda weird saying this but it’s a family friendly brewery, they have a chickens and rabbits outside, and games. They also have a bunch of TVs great for watching the games. I’m definitely going back soon.

We noticed there was a new establishment at the old Yard's space on our way up Delaware Ave and made note to definitely come back. So we stopped in after after Evil Genius on a little mini brew tour to check out this new spot. Things are generally setup as before, but we were here at 4:30pm and it was extremely dim inside. We needed to utilize our cell phone flashlights (we're all the ripe age of 30) just to see the menus. Two humans of our 5 person party went up to the bar to order food and drink. We received our beverages and a number for our food order and sat back down. We tried a few different beers and our drinks were great. Once our food arrived (cheeseboard and crab dip) we immediately asked for more bread, as we were a party of 5 and there were 5 pieces for the cheeseboard and 5 for the crab dip and we knew the portion sizes required more sharing than that. Our server obliged, but after we each finished our two pieces we sat for about 10 minutes before inquiring a second time about additional bread. All the meanwhile still having to use our phones to see the cheeseboard and crab dip. When finally our requested bread arrived, it was only 3 pieces for our 5 person party. We left, completely unsatisfied to head to the new Yard's Brewery where we are currently enjoying great beer, good food, in a well lit environment. Safe yourself the trouble, just go to Yard's.

Had a wonderful experience at this new brewery! The staff was friendly, informative and attentive. We enjoyed two tasty flights of their in-house brewed beer and had a hard time picking a favorite, because there were a few. We enjoyed two delicious items from their snack section of the menu and they were both scrumptious; the crab dip was on point, as well as the sliders.

One rating, everyone knows the rules: 4.8 Overall opinion: will come back for the beers and if I have a large group, but not for the food or atmosphere if with a smaller group. Details below. The positives: large space, great for big groups especially if you have kids, tons of games and things to do, staff is really great, cheese bar with specialty cheese options, smokehouse pizza was good (tasted like a barbecue chicken pizza with a hint of sausage and the crust was pretty good), beers were really good as well (had the Continental Lager and Compound Kolsch; fiancee liked the Clear Hitch). The negatives: the burger looked good but tasted awful, I honestly can't say for sure they used ground beef it was that bad. While there's a ton of space, it isn't a very cozy place to go and have a beer because of its more industrial building feel. The kids were pretty loud making it not a great place to relax.

Not bad at all, lot of mid range beers. I'm talking like between 5-6.5%. Just about all are easy to drink. Atmosphere makes this place, place for kids to play, retro gaming stations... LOTS of seating. Staff is very welcoming. Happy hour pitchers are a must for a group.

Nice brewery , cool games your able to play plenty of seating , shares a warehouse with craft hall kitchen where you can order food if I’m not mistaken they are separate but share the space but you are able to order food to your

This place is excellent! If you are a parent and stressed out after a day of shopping with your child and you need a good beer this is your place. The food here is so much better than expected. I can't recall the name of it but I had the pizza with pork and pineapple on it and it was so oddly different but delightful. So many different flavors working together. Coulda been pastor pizza. My wife has the brisket cheesesteak egg rolls and she's a fan! Our little guy played in the ship and made so many friends. We got to relax and our little guy burned off a ton of energy so we got to relax again later. Our service was excellent. The bathrooms were clean and the whole place was well kept. We live in jerZ and definitely will be back. Free parking also a bonus.

My 2 stars is for the food experience. All else was fine. Our server was good and attentive. It's a great family friendly spot with booze. The indoor playground is great if you have kids, helpful to keep them distracted while the adults eat and chat. However, I definitely wouldn't come here unless coming with kids bc .. why . The cauliflower with pita was not good and definitely don't recommend based on my experience. The cauliflower itself was fine , but the raw dough of the pita completely ruined it. I showed the server the raw dough in multiple pitas , he apologized and did have it made again. It took quite a while, in which I was hopeful they would not undercook it again. I was wrong. It came back raw again. I did not ask for it a third time as I'd lost faith in their ability to cook pita through at this point . The server was good and took off the charge of this entree bill without us asking. I will say that all of the other food my party ordered seemed to be fine, so could be an off day, a new employee , or just bad luck

Ok as a parent, this place is INGENIOUS!!! I wish there were more places like this. I barely ever go out with my kids to eat b/c I hate how antsy they get. We got here when they opened at 4 and got a spot in their parking lot. We got one of the tables near the playground inside. We were 3 moms with 6 kids and this was the best experience. We were able to order the food while they played. Then they came and ate. Then they played while we were able to actually eat without stress. My friends tried the cider and enjoyed it. I had the buffalo chicken salad which was good. The kids got a range of burgers, hot dogs, and chicken tenders with fries. They all enjoyed. They shared some ice cream. This is a dream for parents. Come early and actually sit and enjoy dinner. It was a weekday, not sure how packed it gets on the weekend or during later hours.

A cool atmosphere in an area that keeps expanding! Bartenders were nice and a decent food selection on the menu. Half price pizza for happy hour. We just got some apps while waiting for a tour. Cheesesteak egg rolls are worth eating again. Loaded fries were meh but helped coat the stomach for the brews

Notes: (1) The parking lot is very limited. Employees suggested parking on Lot A across from Roar (2) Bring quarters for the arcade Came here on a Saturday afternoon for a birthday party in the room in the back. It was absolutely spacious with plenty of space to fit over 100 people. The food came out promptly and it was good. We had a lot of food ranging from mac and cheese, hamburgers, wings, grilled vegetables to fruit salads. My favorite dish was the grilled veggies with the fruit salad as it was fresh and well cooked. The staff was also attentive and friendly. The main restaurant is actually big as well, there is plenty of seating and a lot of TVs to enjoy any sports that is playing. As for kids, there is a small arcade area which the kids enjoyed playing with as there were many claw machines and entertainment. I would definitely come back to enjoy drinks and food.

Such a great hidden gem!! We met a few families at Craft Hall and had an absolute blast. Our kids played all night on the playground and in the arcade. Their house brewed beers were delicious and the food was on point. Such a great evening!

So whenever I go into Philly I'm always nervous about the place,where it's located and parking situation. This was not the case for this place .they have a small parking lot right across the street and a house one around the corner they share with the casino. The area felt very comfortable and we had no issues. My wife bought us tickets for an Edgar allen poe live reading event here and let me just say, I don't know anything about poetry but man I loved this experience. I was on the edge of my seat listening to these live dramatic readings. Inbetween each reading they gave us a cocktail which was phenomenal. Never though I said this but my wife came through on her date night choice

This place was so much fun would highly recommend if you have children and want to eat plus let your kids use the indoor play set. Such a cool idea. Wish more places were like that. We enjoyed the Buffalo wings and margherita pizza. Cute areas to take photos and a retro gaming area.

Always the spot we swing by when in Philly for a show. Always a chill spot to be at linner time. Menu is diverse - the pizza is always spot on for two. Usually with some down east cider. Be back soon.

Ok here's the deal. I would have never come here because they have an indoor playground for kids. I do not have kids and honestly don't want to be around a bunch of kids, ever. Then my dear friend booked a birthday party here for her nephew, so I had to go (I mean, I had a choice, but I knew what I had to do lol). Parking is on the street (they may have a lot but if that's theirs it was full) so my boyfriend dropped me off in front and found parking behind the building. I was asked if I was there for the party by the hostess and directed to the area of where to go for the party. It's an extremely large and nice place! The children's parties are set up in front for the play area, which is sectioned off, in the back. Aside from the play area there is also an arcade room. The food that was ordered in larger quantities for the party was all very good! I tried the hamburger sliders, veggies and hummus, chicken fingers and grilled cheese. Oh and the porter was great-I had two! There was a waitress assigned to the party so we had to order our drinks from her with drink tickets that the hostess had pre-purchased. If we were paying with cash we would have had to have gone to the bar, which would have been fine too. So at the end of the day, I'm glad I got to check it out. I wouldn't go again during the day with kids there playing-it was just entirely too loud for me to be able to enjoy myself or hold a conversation. I am super glad that there are places like this one for families to go so kids can play and parents can have a beer or two and some good food! Afterwards a coworker told me they have a room downstairs which I did not know. He mentioned that it might only be open at night. So I might give that a try sometime. It also does seem like a good place to watch a game, so we might give it a go in the fall.

Mocktail was delicious as enough Blood orange flavor. I was charged $7 instead of $6 on the menu. Update your menu or specify is $1 surcharge for credit cards or maybe I missed. Hard working staff. Good amount of TVs and people here were having a good time. I didn't want to overwhelm myself with food but I like they offer it and many others were having typical bar type food here. I believe there are some games in the back but I was enjoying the Phillies game and the costume competition here.

Not accommodating to large groups unless booking a private area. Manager mixed up our reservations and she was incredibly rude about it to several people in our group. Will not return.

Family and Dog friendly. I love the concept of this place! They have a playground in the middle of the restaurant for the kids to play. Although the playground isn't in the best shape, the kids still have fun. There's also old arcade games and board games that everyone can partake. If you want to play the skee ball, make sure to bring some cash with you. There is also a dog park right outside for dog owners to drink while the dogs can hangout which is also cool. The food is also decent for the price and this place also has a small parking lot right next door which makes this place more appealing for families. If you are looking for a night out with family, this place is a must try!

We had a blast here!! We were there for 5 hours drinking steins while the kids played in the indoor playground and arcade (I didn't even give them money). My kids are 9, 7, 5, 2 and it was great for all of them! We had lunch as well and kids had hotdogs. I also got them Mac n cheese which was really good! Loaded fries, spare ribs, wings, corn bread all good! I wish I lived closer to here would go all the time!

Brisket was delicious and came with a big portion. The cocktails were good as well, I had one of the Iced Chai Lattes and an off menu elderflower spritz. Beers were just okay, not really our taste

Way better than I expected. I'd avoided this place because I was afraid it might be too much for me. Beer hall, food, dog park, and indoor kids' playground? That's a lot going on. But it's so close to home that one quiet evening we took a chance and walked over for a beer. The indoor playground look packed, and it was pretty busy inside, but staff kept up with the crowd and had food and drinks ready quickly. I'm still not ready to dine indoors, so we opted to order at the bar and enjoy our drinks outside on the empty puppy porch. I had some good beer, and the fries were hot and crispy and exactly what I wanted. I think there are enough separate spaces here to satisfy families, dog owners, and those without kids or dogs all at the same time. Staff were friendly and efficient. When the weather warms up I'm sure this place will be packed again. I will be back.

I like what they're doing here. Came right at opening on a Saturday and it was already popping. It turns out there was a kids birthday party going on. Parking lot was full (cool that there is even parking!) and there is street parking and probably parking at the casino... It's big and open inside with a play structure and slides for the kids, lots of games, video games, and a piano. There's outdoor seating and there's an outdoor pet park, too! I tried the beet salad, the chili, and the fried chicken sandwich. All were good and I recommend the fried chicken and beet salad!

We usually come here on a thursday late afternoon when the crowd volume is just right. We came this past sunday and it was PACKED. Firstly, I had no idea they offered an AYCE buffet brunch for $40 including wine, beer, and some specialty drinks. That's not a bad deal. I didn't opt for the buffet brunch because I wasn't that hungry, I wound up getting the burger and fries combo which is always pretty good here. Mind you I just said I wasn't that hungry and barely finished my food. My wife ordered the sauteed mushroom melt and hers was so big, we could have split that instead. Overall, I will definitely just stick to Thursday mostly because as much as I love the kids play area, I could see my daughter was overwhelmed by the amount of kids and didn't have as much fun which is half the reason we come, but that's nothing the business can control. Thursdays seem to be a sweet spot, but that brunch will definitely be explored one day soon!

We came after my nephews graduation with a big group of people. When I first walked in I was convinced it was going to be blah.... Nope the food was so delicious!

I love this place! They have a large variety of beers and ciders to choose from. They are very dog friendly. There is a "dog porch" where you can sit outside with your dog, eat and drink. They also have a dog park where you can order drinks and they bring them to you. The dog park isn't large but it does the trick! I bring my dog pretty much every evening because she loves being able to run around and have space.

Brisket was like boiled shoe leather. Cole slaw was unseasoned shredded cabbage. horrible plate of food. Too bad because it could be a cool place.

Self seating. There are so many tables that surround the playground where you can watch your kids play while getting work done!

Hire more servers or get other staff to help with things like bringing water and plates out. I think there was only one server, and every time we tried to get this guy's attention, he was slinging water pitchers to new tables. Was about to just go to the bar to order drinks. The bartenders (and every other person working the FOH) looked completely relaxed .. while our server looked like he was losing his mind trying to get to everyone.

My Fiancé, brother, his wife, and I came here for the Founding Footsteps Christmas light trolly tour. We did not have any drinks while we waited but we did enjoy some of their cheese pizza and it was pretty good for a brewery. The space is very large with a lot of seating, board games, children's play area, and I believe they have outdoor/open area seating options in the warmer months. I only get to return home now and then due to working across the country but I would love to return and check out the brews.

Totally different type of Ambiance then I expected, brought me back to the days my dad used to take me to the union meetings with him and I'd get to play with the other kids who's dad brought them while our dads talks due's paid and due and next meeting getting scheduled. Thanks for bringing back those good feel memories. Also had a Blast and won big with Frontier plus had a slamming Long Island and played some Super Mario Brothers... great night all around, hope to get back soon and try some food next time.

The Old Yards Brewin Co., is now home to the Craft Hall. Reservations were recommended, but they had enough seating to take walk ups. Parking they have a small lot off of Poplar Street or you can find street parking when construction is not going on. We had outdoor seating, we chose outside the tent because it was a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Waiter was very attentive, as we glanced over the menu on our phones. Beer is brewed by Mainstay Independent Brewing Co. I had a double IPA and a Session IPA, both were very tasty. Also split an order of Brisket Poutine with my dining companion. I was skeptical at first, but it was a great snack to share, the meat was tender, and the fries were crispy, the cheese curds were the best i ever had. I would definitely visit again as most of the amenities inside the Hall were closed due to covid. The Food & Drink were very reasonably priced as well. An overall great experience.

Came here today to the first Bark Bowl just to see the dogs and have a little food and drink. It was chaotic but what an awesome venue. We were able to get a table in the main bar area, where FYI you have to order in line at the bar to be served for the high tops closer to the entrance. I got the downeast cider on draft and ordered a spinach artichoke dip which I got a number for. They have a self service area for condiments, water and utensils just near the bar line. Everyone was friendly and took time to explain the process or whatever else, top notch service. Unfortunately we did have to wait somewhat long for my dip while my dining companions had their food delivered pretty quickly. But I would guess there was a mixup and they were super apologetic about it and made up for it when they def didnt have to, so I would 100% visit again on another warm day just because of that. No hard feelings about the delay and hopefully on a less eventful day we'll have better timing. Plus, I was so excited to see so many dogs!

Great place to take kids. Nice playground and arcade. Gets pretty busy and the kitchen gets a little jammed up. Overall can't beat it. The bbq is really good. It's pretty loud but is a cool space being a warehouse.

I've booked a reservation for my gf birthday this weekend. This was the most wonderful experience I've ever had in Philly at a restaurant even though it's a beer hall. Staff was terrific and accommodating despite having such a large group of 20 people. I can't say thank you enough. The server ensured we had water and we didn't have to ask. When we needed lighter for the candle, they were able to find one for us. They all were so pleasant and kind! The finger food that we got was all good and not overpriced. The space is wonderful for gathering for parties. Don't forget the fun games section too. This place is such a gem and will be back again!

It seemed like a great place to relax after a day of sightseeing with an 8 year old. However, the playground is better for younger kids and games in the game room accept payment but don't work. The manager was not able to help us actually play the games we paid for or refund the money. The manager referenced having to bring it up with their "vendor." Most vendors will reimburse establishments for having to cover losses of customers due to their machine's malfunctioning. We moved on to Frankford Hall in Fishtown and had a great time.

We've been meaning to check out Craft Hall since its new Dog Park Beer Garden installation. Currently, this is the only beer garden in the city that has a dog park so we were really excited to see what it has to offer. When we arrived, the dog park looked pretty crowded so we decided to grab a couple of drinks in the outdoor dining area. There were other patrons dining outside with their dogs and it was a nice environment except for the occasional loud motorcycles on Columbus Blvd. My husband placed our drink orders and a dog biscuit through contactless ordering. Our order arrived not long after. The drinks were all right. The dog biscuit was huge, which was great, but it was so hard to break into pieces and chew that we decided against giving it to our pup. We also noticed many small shards of broken glasses on the ground in the outdoor dining area. A dog could easily have stepped on it and gotten hurt. My husband and the family from a neighboring table picked up the pieces of glass and removed them from the area but I'm very upset about this. I really want to like Craft Hall but I don't think we will be back.

I stopped in here on a Wednesday at 5pm with my kiddo and wife. We thought there was table service, but immediately saw about a dozen signs saying otherwise. The next thing we noticed was the size of this place. It is HUGE! You could easily have a wedding here. After looking around for a minute, we noticed the kids play area, which is mostly why we decided to come here. Upon further investigation, we realized it was more suited for older kids, but it was still a good mix of things. Climbing structures, slides, a pirate ship, games and swings. We walked over to the bar and ordered some food. I got the BBQ wings and a cheeseburger, the wife got a tuna melt and we got the kiddo a burger. We walked around the play area a bit while we waited, and in probably 15 min or so, the food was already at our table. I'm jumping right into the food here because we all know that's the most important part. The wings were good. Really good. Super crispy, hot and with just a little sauce, the way I love them. The French fries that came with the kid's burger were also hot and crispy with just enough salt. If we had just gotten those 2 things, this place would have been an easy 5 stars, but that was not the case. The burgers were very well done, thin, unseasoned and were most definitely frozen prior to our arrival. Sorry, but throwing on a bunch of lettuce, a LOT of mayo and 5 pickles, PLUS a pickle on the side, does not mask the taste of a hockey puck. Also, the pickles are bread and butter pickles I believe. No one likes those. My wife, who loves pickles, actually spit hers out. Later after we had finished eating, I also saw a man at another table spit a chunk of his pickle out as well. It was a sad day for pickles. The tuna melt, which my wife barely touched was not great either. The tuna, even though it was flavorful, was cold, the bread was soggy and someone just threw on a piece of cheese, put the whole thing under the broiler for a second and by the time it reached the table, the cheese was already room temperature. There was also a lot of relish on top of the whole thing, which made it prettier, but didn't help overall. This place is good for a quick bite with kids in tow. I would not recommend coming here if you're looking for a nice dinner. Have a beer, have some fried food, let the kids run around and you'll be more than satisfied.

Great place to hangout. There is also a dog park. We like watching sports games here. There are many fun cocktails. Also, currently they have $15 steins and you get $7.99 I believe, refills (and you can keep the stein)! I did the weiss in a stein. Food has not disappointed yet. I've had the bbq tower, margarita pizza, mac n cheese, and friend chicken sandwich (awesome milk bread). They have board games you can play, as well as a jungle gym for kids. The whole place smells like an awesome bakery. Lots of room inside.

We came in on a Wednesday night and the staff could not have been friendlier. We ordered two delicious mixed drinks as well as a pizza, salad and their Red BBQ wings. All were so good and had a unique spin to them (brisket on the pizza, pretzel croutons on the salad and their own unique sauce on the wings)! I love this spot as it is huge and so spacious. Great vibes all around and an excellent menu all around for quick bites or a full meal. We cannot wait to come back again to try more on the menu!

A huge bar seating area , food, and children playing, what an interesting combination. I went with a group of friends on a Sunday. It was a light crowd in the bar area but had about 3 birthday parties in the center seated area and towards the children's play area. They have reserved seating and the parties were for children and adults. The bar area was pretty quiet until about 20 min before the Eagles game. It became packed with folks ready to celebrate the eagles! The tv monitors were strategically placed in perfect location and the game was on full audio blast. So if you're into watching the football game at a bar this is the place. This place serves brunch so we all had the opportunity to order brunch at the bar as well. For a large party it's perfect because you don't have to split a bill. You order at the bar get a number and sit anywhere, they will bring the food to you. Well, that's great but the food wasn't the best. Not horrible but nothing to write home about. The woman's bathroom is pretty smelly due to the dirty poopy diapers being tossed in the trash after they use the changing table. Not sure if the men's bathroom has this odor.

I haven't been in this building since it was Yard's and ended up here for the first time after a Mad Hatter's Gin & Tea Party last week. There was a nice selection of beer and great food menu. It was a busy Friday night but the staff was friendly, our food came out quick and the fries were hot. Fun place and great location. We'll definitely be back.

They've expanded the number of beers on tap since was last here. I lump Mainstay in with Craft Hall since they're basically the same entity, but just on the beer itself, I'd say Mainstay is a solid. I think they've improved their food a little bit recently as well. Tons of space, which is good in the pandemic world. They have changed the layout a little bit though, and where they have a wall towards where the old kids area is/was, so they can close that off for private functions. Will be back in the future.

For the last 9 years I have been dreaming of a comfortable space where you can take your kids to play, have a drink and some food while you relax with friends. So loaded up the family in the minivan and made the pilgrimage to the city and met up with two other of my girlfriends' families. This large industrial building is spacious and has a convenient location in Delaware Avenue and had lots of free parking around. Outside they had some outdoor seating and a chicken coop, rabbit hutch and a little garden area with tables. Inside was ginormous and there were many large tables for big groups available to choose from. We easily found a table for 8 kids and 6 adults. The lower level had a play area for the kids and another bar. There was a play structure to climb on, basketball game, tetherball, some video games (Mario, Kirby, etc), mini skew ball, a telephone booth, picture booth and a broken pinball and broken shuffleboard table. The kids area was definitely fun but if you look closely it didn't seem very safe or thought out. Like the basketball game near the slide opening. My daughter got nailed in the head. The metal tether ball on a stage surrounded by concrete seemed a bit sketch. I was a little anxious letting my kids play there. I did not have any beer on this visit but the group's consensus was that the beer was just OK. We did order fries, pretzel with pimento cheese, the mussels, some pizzas and some collard greens. Food was good for brewery fare. They do have a kids menu. The service was not that great on our visit either.

It was a little confusing but the brewery and Craft Hall are the same-- Craft Hall is the restaurant portion. There is limited parking in a small lot across the street or metered parking. I got a flight to try 4 5oz beers on tap. Their limited options was a little disappointing! My favorite was their porter. I also got the warm pretzel with spicy mustard and pimento cheese because it looked so good from other yelper's reviews. They must've changed their menu item from then because the pretzel I got looked completely different. The cheese wasn't in the pretzel, it was a dip and possibly fake pimento cheese because it just tasted like spicy cream cheese. I do love their huge space and bench seating. There's also an entire table of board games to pick from!

A pub where you can bring children, drink alcohol, and watch sports? Count me in! Went for my friend's son's first birthday and we had a blast. The kids had a good time too - and we got to stick around to watch the sixers game. Pretty good food too and a fun atmosphere. The play area for children is also well made- wooden construction.

I visited this place about two or three times so far. It definitely has an energetic vibe. You can choose bar seats or table and bench. There is a medium size kids' play area at one of the corner with a big equipment that has a few slides. If there are a handful of kids, this area can get crowded! I would highly suggest watching your young kids, especially when there are numerous of older kids running around. There are some kids friendly video games in that area too. Across to the other side of the room is where the arcade room is. Plenty of games for kids and family to play, but make sure you have change. As far as their food, I have only tried a few selections on the menu. Their pizza taste not bad. Made to order and it is crispy and thin. A good chill out place if you want to grab food and drink while the kids are off to burn off their energy. But make sure you prepared that it can get crowded there with kids running around the area.

Weird crowd. Hard to find parking. Service is impatient and rushed. Just wasn't feeling the environment or the vibe. You're better off going to a Dave & Buster's.

Cool place and nice concept, however could use some improvements. Food was ok. The brisket was a tad on the dry side, (sauce barely helped, so I just think they need to cook it with more juices?) however the wings were delicious (nice crisp on the outside, and tender on the inside). Beet salad was good too. As for the games, they do have a large selection of board games. They also have a neat area for the little ones to run around. Shuffle board - needs more sand. It was quite difficult trying to push sand into an area just to grab a tiny bit to put onto the board itself. It was definitely fun though. Overall, I probably would go back as my kids had a great time.

Craft Hall is a huge venue great for big groups looking for a casual drink. During COVID-times they have spaced out tables appropriately and I'd make a reservation if you're planning on coming here. On the menu, they have a large selection of beers of different styles and a number of food options. I tried one of the beer flights and was impressed that I enjoyed every beer I had selected. My friends were also pleased with their beers and their moscow mules. I didn't try any of the food myself but my friends said their choices were solid bar food. Overall, this is definitely a fun place for a big group looking to drink some brews!
