Layla AlotaibiJanuary 25, 2016The shrimp cocktail sauce is addictive, great cocktails too! However, stay away from a.Burger!
Lauren MoweryDecember 28, 2013Try the cremant de Jura. The bottle isn't disgorged like most sparkling, leaving the expired yeast in your glass.

"I would say this is my favorite bar in Philly, they serve well crafted drinks, in a very loungy couch-filled bar. The staff is very kind, and you must try the gin fizz."

"Great selection of classic cocktails and some in-house originals. Decent happy hour with buck a shuck oysters and $5 bar snacks. Hang out here with a date or a group of friends!"
