The bar tenders were all awesome. This was my first time back to Philly since college and we ended up staying at an AirBnB right above this place. It was an awesome spot to end the night, have a drink, and chat with the staff. Not sure when I’ll be back in the city, but will be stopping here when I am.

Great neighborhood joint with awesome people running the place. I’m insanely lucky to have a place open late that makes such incredible food. They always take care of us, always have something entertaining going on whether in conversation or on the tv. The drinks are excellent and strong. They also are top notch at what they do all around. I’m proud to have them so close to home.

Was visiting the city and found a cute little restaurant that had games for the table to play. Was not expecting the food to taste so good but OMG. Both myself and my friend finishes our meals. Service was great. The two bartenders were taking care of the whole restaurant and it was just an overall great experience 😊 100/10 would go again

The street corn nachos were hands down yummy. The chips were light. The cheese was not traditional but very tasty. The street corn was grilled to perfection, and the sauce used was on point, just wish there was a little more of it. All this combined, resulted in creating a well-balanced, in taste, plate of nachos. The dish was not messy either. Lastly, the staff is very polite!

Been here a few times so far and the brunch menu is really good! I've had the huevos San Lucas and rancheros and each are fantastic. Sides are good particularly the potato wedges, tho the pancakes could use a little more flavor. Good drink selection and great service, and the bar itself has a neat setting to it as well. Highly recommend if you're in the Poplar neighborhood to check it out

A perfect place to try innovative cocktails and delicious food! Kudos to the bartenders and chef. The relaxed atmosphere and attentive staff with great senses of humor made us feel right at home. During our four night stay in Philadelphia, we dined here twice and would come back again in a heartbeat!
