Memphis Taproom

Came based on a recommendation for the smoked coconut club that someone gave me about 8 years ago, it just took me forever to follow up on. After trying it I'm bummed I waited so long. It's bonkers good, the smoked coconut is savory and fits perfectly on a tofu club. It's unique and done perfectly. Really enjoyed the charred green beans too, char was done well and had a lot of flavor. The beer menu has good variety and great beers. The only ding here is that my partner got the burger and it was drenched in aioli (far more than my club), it was just too much. Still will be coming back to get the club again and have a beer or two.

Always a great spot for food and drinks. They have some good Vegan options which makes it a great place for parties with different food needs. They always have Orval cold and ready to serve in the proper glass. A great draft list as well, such as Hillfarmstead Edward.

Memphis Taproom has been one of my favorite places for many years. I have been coming for years. Seen the menu change, tried it all, but two things always remain. The smoked coconut club and the fried pickles. I can’t recommend them enough.

Decent all round neighborhood spot. Update 05/22/18: has a very enjoyable visit with some delicious food in the outside beer garden. Highly recommend this space for any nice summer day/evening. The chicken sandwich was out of this world and I will be ordering it again without question. The port Richmond platter has many great elements that all worked well together.

Great dishes, not the usual bar food. Bit pricey, average dish is $11-14. Large selection of beers with a few cocktails and ciders. Outdoor seating has plenty of shade with a nice breeze and is wheelchair accessible. If you are outside it is dog friendly, more towards the night time after the food is done being served (10-11pm) Meal pictured is the McMemphis chicken sandwich, delish. Paired with their draft cider (blend of dry/sweet)

The Memphis Taproom features old school charm, great drinks and surprisingly delicious food. We tried their Cheesesteak Pierogi's and we're very impressed. Service was great too, if you're in the area, be sure to stop by.

Excellent beer program. Warm and inviting bar with great bartenders and vibe. The fried pickles are so good but you’ll need to split them. A top spot for craft in the city with food to match.

Their dippy sandwich hit the spot on a Sunday morning. Solid beer selection, especially some of the Belgian bottled beers. I watched the eagles opener here and it was very chill for an NFL sunday, so don’t expect a packed and loud crowd if you’re going for a game.

This place has such good food. I never expected this brewery to have such an interesting menu. They have a ton of sandwich options, entrees that consist of fish/meat, appetizers, and desserts. Our server was so helpful in guiding our meal decision. She was so friendly and easy to chat with (I guess her day job is teaching but honestly she should go into sales). If the owner is looking at this: Get this woman a raise! The place has a bar with some stool seating. There is a small other room that has table seating. It's definitely important to get reservations since it is such a small space. I highly recommend the baked clams and green salad. The baked clams tasted delicious especially with the garlic butter. The green salad was presented so well. It looked like a square with dressing all over it. The Dijon vinaigrette was so tasty. Our entree was a broiled fish with potato's. I really liked the potato's. I liked the white sauce it was in. The fish was of good quality but it was kind of small. The desserts were amazing. I loved the ice cream more than the desserts actually. The ice cream with crème de menthe is a must try!

Was very surprised by this spot. Super unassuming old-school pub vibes. Sat at the bar, which was cute and personally enjoyed the ability to watch the 1990s Batman movies that were playing on the TV while we were there. And the bartender was super pleasant as she checked in on us a few times. Food: - Roast beef sandwich: overall pretty simple and straightforward so done well. Didn't end up utilizing the horseradish, but imagine some would like that. The roll was good at first but by the end was pretty soggy. - Clams in garlic butter: Really enjoyed the flavoring of this. Not a huge portion but big enough for the price (wouldn't recommend this as a main dish itself given the size). - Crab dip: Good amount of crab and the seasoning was great. Would have preferred if the crab were a bit lumpier but I didn't mind the texture for a dip. The toast given for the dip itself was rather simple, may be better served by a chip instead. The bartender gifted us an order of fries which were perfectly crispy and salty without being overly salty. She also gave us slices of 2 different breads and truly this with the salted butter were the highlight of the meal. The bread was so fresh and the butter so much more than ordinary butter. And it was great to dip this into the clams sauce. The beer options were fairly limited and overall fine. Overall, definitely hit the spot for a low-key Sunday lunch.

Meetinghouse has quickly become one of my favorite local spots. Initially, I was a bit skeptical due to its limited menu and relatively low prices, assuming it would offer typical bar food at a standard neighborhood drinking establishment. However, I was entirely mistaken. The atmosphere strikes a great balance between classy and casual. While one-half of the venue serves as a bar, the other side features an elegant dining area complete with reservations, tablecloths, and candlelight. I ordered a Roast Beef Sandwich for just $10, and it turned out to be incredible. On the night we visited, they generously offered us a few complimentary appetizers that had been mistakenly prepared. For just $10, I enjoyed one of the finest meals I've ever experienced. I can't quite figure out how this place works, but I'm definitely a fan.

For those of you who were born too late and could not experience the food from a 1970's dinner party, this place has got you covered! I'm saying this with the upmost respect for the food and beverage offerings at Meetinghouse. I absolutely love everything here from its cozy and intimate ambiance, amazing service, and rock solid food options. Some of my favorites are the Crab Dip, Turkey Cutlet, Roast Beef Sandwich, and the Thursday Burger. Top that off with a classic gin martini, or their beloved mystery wine, and a delicious homemade dessert, and you my friends will have a wonderful evening!

Went for lunch on a slow day and had the outdoor area to ourselves. It's nice and somewhat secluded. Was able to get some shade and enjoy the warm weather. Both beers were nice and smooth, the dark one especially. The Mushroom Oysters are a must, the broth had a nice tangy flavor and the mushrooms were a good texture, not too chewy. The roast beef came with a nice amount of very good horseradish. Putting that on the sandwich just elevated it slightly above your basic roast beef. They surprised us with a salad to try and explained it's meant to be eaten with your hands and they leave stems on to do that. It was a different approach but it worked and while the vinaigrette was a bit strong it still worked. The lemon sorbetto is tart and sweet. The presentation is nice with it coming in a hallowed out lemon. We'll be back.

New Beer Bar in Kensington! Cozy, neighborhood bar serving beer, wine, cocktails, spirits and small bites. The food is no frills, but does the job and there is something for everyone! My husband and I got the bread & butter, cheese (manchego) and dry sausage (chorizo). The dessert is the real show stopper! We had the chocolate pot de creme, the crème brûlée and the pavlova. The pavlova was a nice surprise, with a dried meringue topper that visually looks like whipped cream, and melts in your mouth like cotton candy but has a shell like crisp. None of the desserts were overly sweet, which we preferred! The beers were good, and so was the cider! The staff was attentive and friendly, made great conversation! Will definitely visit again when in the area.

This is one of my favorite spots. The food is so good, vibes are exceptional, and the service is amazing. Great spot for drinks and dinner!!

It's a wonderful place for beer and ambiance. The food is too hip though. The menu doesn't work. But the art work is beautiful

Fun new place in the area! Food was excellent - must get the turkey cutlet and the broiled fish. Both of which were unexpectedly fabulous. Follow them on social to see the specials. Service was excellent and excited to be working there (love to see that). The whole vibe is a super club meets corner bar, in the best way. Can't wait to go back!

First time here, it's been on my "hit list" for quite a while and definitely lived up to my expectations! Walked into a packed bar, standing room only. Bartender was super friendly. Greeted us immediately, offered menus and then brought our drinks to us. Then we checked in for our reservation, we were offered inside or outside. Inside was so charming, candles on every table. So, we decided to sit inside. Our server was just as friendly as the others we had encountered. I will say the menu is a little odd, that being said, everything we ordered was delicious and served with a genuine smile! For the four of us, we shared the green salad with a very tasty dressing, roasted mushrooms, although good, probably my least favorite. The baked clams are out of this world, broth to die for. Two of us ordered the turkey club, the other two had the hot roast beef and an order of fries for the table. To full for dessert. All I can is WOW! Cannot wait to return!!

Nice outdoor area but they don't cook burgers to temp request wtf . Service good. Their own beers (3 selection) are avg at best. Food above average otherwise but nothing stellar.

Came here from south jersey and went with the roast beef sandwich and fries with the in house beer 9/14 after 3 not too busy. The beer is ok not my fave and I did regret buying 3 6 packs to go back home since I didn't have anything at home lol. The sandwich is good but is it go out of the way amazing to get it. No lol. I came here since bonapetit had this on best new restaurant menu. Menu does have some good sounding choices but I won't be making the $80 round trip Uber ride here tho maybe that's better than the cheaper but more time consuming bus ride? lol nice staff

I went to meetinghouse on a Sunday for lunch with my sister. We were seated quickly and the staff was friendly and attentive. We got the Bikini and Turkey Club sandwiches, which were both pretty good. Ordering drinks felt like a bit of a gamble. I liked my beer (got the morning swim), but wasn't exactly sure what I would be getting since there's only one word in the description for drinks (3 choices of "pale" "dark" or "hoppy" beers, and "red" "white" "sparkling" or "mystery" for wines). I liked my beer though and ended up getting a 6 pack to bring home from the take out counter.

We've been excited to try this new spot in the old Memphis Taproom location and went for the New Years Eve special. The food was excellent, perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The table next to us kept ordering from the regular menu and everything smelled and looked amazing, we'll definitely be back to try more. My one gripe was that the prime rib special was for two but they only brought the one plate and one steak knife so it was a little awkward passing that back and forth, but they were busy and probably didn't notice. Service was friendly and the ambience was a little noisy but cozy. I'm also not sure I understand the "mystery wine" idea, they wouldn't even tell us if it was red or white before ordering and didn't share any more details even after drinking it. I've been to a place where they did something similar and if you could guess the wine you got it for free, but this was just odd. Is it Yellowtail? It's probably Yellowtail. Anyway we enjoyed everything we had and will be back, happy to have this place in the neighborhood!

I'm really on the fence with this review. The service and ambience were great. It's a trendy little neighborhood bar with good music and good people. Three draft beers with common names and off we were to our table. The beer is brewed offsite but it's Meeting's beer: love that. However, the food left much to be desired. The bread and butter were good, fries were done right but the clams and Turkey BLT...meh. The clams were so chewy...I mean like, super chewy and I could not cut into it with my teeth. I had one: full stop. Now ordering a Turkey BLT, one should not expect the moon but since there's about 7 - 8 things on the menu I would hope that each dish is done to near-perfection. It was not. It was essentially basic. Did I eat everything save for the clams? Yes. Would I go back? For sure. The service, people and beer are worth another pass. And I'll definitely try another dish but I won't go hungry. Live music would definitely draw me back in!

Highly recommended!! The food, service, and ambiance were all on point! My wife and I went for dinner on a Saturday night and ordered the turkey cutlet, pork steak, French fries, and green salad, plus some bread and butter. The combination worked perfectly, with the acidity of the green salad cutting into the richness of the cutlet and the French fries getting dipped into the sauce of the pork. So good! We tried a house beer, Negroni, and a few different wines, including the mystery wine, which is a cool idea! We enjoyed our time so much, that after dinner in the dining room we grabbed a few seats at the bar and had a nightcap, before grabbing a six pack of the Morning Swim Pale Ale to take home. Love this place and can't wait to return!

super super cute & very clean, minimal remodel. i love the simplistic back bar and fresh flowers. had an espresso martini & fernet with birch beer. both were solid. i have to come back to try the food. it always smells good when i walk by!

Was stoked to learn about a new pub opening in the old Memphis Taproom space. Unfortunately, it's not going to fill that void. Allow me to explain. It's a beer bar, and 3 of their 5 beer offerings are unlabelled "in-house" beer (the other two being overpriced Guinness and an extremely overpriced Trappist ale), but with a catch - there are no descriptions of what type of beer you're getting, other than the single word "pale", "dark" or "hoppy". I'm not sure who came up with the idea of a microbrew beer project with zero details about the beers, but it's a huge miss. I tried the hoppy, as I love hoppy NE IPAs, - but it was a fairly generic tasting, bitter west coast IPA (would have been nice to know - I asked the server and they could only say "it's like an IPA"). Also had the dark, which I fully expected to be a porter or stout, but ended up being a dark lager. Was fine, nothing special. Again, would have been cool to know what you're getting and to get some background on the brewing method, etc. They also sell a "mystery wine", which they will give you absolutely zero details about, not even red or white. Good luck with that. We can overlook the misses in the drinks department as long as the food is good, right? Oh boy. Here's what I had: Bread & butter - $5.25. 4 slices of baguette with a tiny, tiny cup of regular ol' butter. Not cultured, or fancy European or Amish butter, just the cheap stuff. Cheese - $4.50. A chunk of plain cheddar from Acme. That's it. Again, no descriptions, so no idea what you're getting until you bite into it. Hot roast beef sandwich - $10.00. Literally just thin sliced roast beef on a plain bun. Comes with a tiny cup of jarred horseradish. No giardiniera, no sauce, no cheese, no caramelized onion - just a stale-ish roll and beef. Very bland, tough to swallow due to how dry it was. Super miss. Turkey club - $12.50. The worst of all. First, this was not a club sandwich, as there was only 2 slices of bread. It's just a turkey sandwich on white bread. Second, despite leaving out a whole slice of bread, they still managed to make this sandwich drier than sand. There was maybe one slice of hard bacon and a one slice of iceberg lettuce. I think there was a tiny smear of mayo on one side of bread, but the turkey was so dry you really couldn't tell. Every bite had to be swallowed with a large gulp of water, lest it get stuck in your throat. This is essentially a beer bar for people who don't like beer and a gastropub for people who don't like good food. I truly have no idea how someone came up with this embarrassment of a concept. Once the initial rush of hipsters and the owner's friends & family 5-star reviews die down, I expect this place to tank. I hate rooting against local businesses, but man this place is a real stinker.

Had dinner and drinks here with friends. Nice lighting, relaxed ambiance. Staff were friendly and attentive, made sure we always had drinks and had enough to eat. The morning swim house beer is really good and worth getting some to takeaway. The food menu leaves a bit to be desired, our group had a hard time deciding wha to order from the limited options. We shared mussels, salad, sandwich, fries, and the baked pineapple. Baked pineapple was really good, as were the fries. The other stuff I would not order again, hope this menu gets revisited over time.

Best new restaurant in Philly. Can't wait to go back. Food is simple and delicious. Service was excellent. Quiet and cozy, perfect date spot.

Great food here, loved the baked clams. Great beer selection!! Perfect for a nice date night if you get a table or grabbing some beers at the bar

I liked the beers. The roast beef sandwich was really good. Fries were done and salted to perfection. The vibe here is very cool and they play good music.

Fantastic spot! Totally unique, the service is super friendly. Love the Turkey club and Morning Swim.

Really great food and beer in a cool atmosphere. Bartenders were really attentive despite being packed, but not in your face trying to grow your tab. The spot has a really great design aesthetic and definitely seems like it would be cool for a date night where you want a great meal but don't want to deal with a stuffy environment. I've gone in workout gear and didn't feel judged at all.

Love Meetinghouse! They are thoughtful about every part of the dining/drink experience. The staff is very friendly. Morning swim is my personal favorite, but all their brewed beers are delicious. Mystery wine is also fun! The design of the space is beautiful. I love their food (roast beef sandwich and baked clams are my current favorites). The dishes are easily shared between a group of people. Dessert is delicious, too. Can't wait to enjoy the outdoor space more often this fall. The simplicity speaks volumes. Looking forward to seeing this bar grow!

great beer! awesome atmosphere, friendly and welcoming! good Place for a beer and bite yo eat.
