Michael ArenasAugust 5, 2017Went on a Saturday afternoon between 3-4pm and had their Pulled Pork sandwich on a pretzel bun and it was amazing! So Good! Definitely a must try. Server was also very friendly and nice.
Philly.comJanuary 7, 2014The bar is a great destination for craft brews with many rotating taps and huge bottle selections ranging from local brews to unusual American micros on draft, and greatest hits from Germany. Read more
every single time I've been here (which is a lot) everyone's berms awesome. Super nice fun happy staff knowledgable about the beers and food. great place all around especially for happy hour!
1/2 off drafts happy hour with a great draft list, plus a cheap large plate of hummus with hot pita, makes this one of the best happy hours in Philly
Rachel RossFebruary 7, 2017Duck wontons used to be my favorite but they took them off the menu unfortunately but roast beef sandwich is on point and roasted beets with goat cheese was pretty delish
Kimberly BosshardtAugust 3, 2013Great service with a friendly atmosphere. Fun spot for a date or with friends! 👌
Try the Breakfast Quesadilla - Perfect brunch item! Scrambled eggs, ham, and cheddar with pico de gallo! Served warm-perfect temp!
Happy hour = 1/2 off all drinks and some discounted bar eats. Great beer selection, not too fancy.
Friendly, knowledgeable bartenders and a great happy hour (1/2 price drafts 5 - 7 pm!), along with great beer prices even when not on special, make this one of my favorite bars- Try the Hill Farmstead George - Amazing Brown Ale from Vermont! Rich malty and grainy notes with great roasted chocolate, nuts, and coffee!! Fantastic!
- Try the Duck Cassoulet - Enjoyed a Few says ago Incredible flavors! Rustic and yummy!! Great with dark/strong beers!
It pains me to say this, as I really enjoy the place immensely. But, unless you are in the market for an overload of attitude, don't sit in the bar tables. The bartenders are awesome, hang with them- Try the Twisted Pine Big Shot Espresso - Wow! Coffee, chocolate, fall in a glass!
- Try the Duck Tacos With Raspberry Salsa, Queso Fresco, And Ginger Mayo - !quack ole!
- Lee PlummerJanuary 5, 2015Nice craft beer selection. It seemed like the one bartenders first day behind a bar.
- Try the Bear Republic Racer 5 - Cowabunga dudes! Totally awesome IPA from Cali! Lots of Piney and citrusy hop love!!
Great music and atmosphere for cold winter nights. Always go for the mussels.- Try the Grouper Tacos - Awesome! Grilled corn salsa and Old Bay mayo.
Best fries and love the cheese sauce. It's not a typical cheese sauce. It's awesome!
I love it here. Sit at the bar if you can, the bartenders are great. Table service is not good. Can't beat happy hour.
Bernard VerhoevenJanuary 25, 2014Try the "Sweet Baby Jesus", an amazing Peanut-butter Chocolate Beer
- Try the Bear Republic Racer 5 - Cowabunga dudes! Citrusy piney hoppy love from the Golden State!! Awesome and righteous!
sit at the bar for the best service and beer recommendations from the great seletion. Read more
Obviously one of the best happy hours in the city, but do yourself a favor and sign up for a Devil's Den card. Every $300 spent gives you a free $20 worth of food.- Philadelphia MagazineJanuary 3, 2012The South Philadelphia pub has a double-sided fireplace and inspired beer list.
Steve is the best bartender. Lauren is the best server... ask for a back scratch. Katie is sweet, too.
- Philadelphia MagazineAugust 15, 2012During the week from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. get half-off drafts and a $2-3 tapas menu. Read more
- Try the Great Lakes Blackout Stout - Thick, creamy, coffee, dark fruits, toasted nuts, and cocoa!!!
- One of the few places that serves Russian River Consecration. And my favorite place to sit by the fire.
The N CrowdNovember 24, 2011Want great atmosphere and sample a delicious brew? Then this is your place.
Great beer selection. Try the pot pie, you won't be disappointed.
Dominique I.June 10, 2013Ordered several app's, enjoyed NONE of them. So disappointed bc this place is very close to home. The extensive beer list isn't even enough of a draw since the food was so underwhelming.- Ask the staff if you're not sure about a beer. Also, check the dinner specials.

can't beat the happy hour at Devil's Den...all drafts are half off Mon-Fri from 5pm-7pm
DrinkPhilly.comFebruary 17, 2011Enjoy happy hour 5-7pm M-F & 1/2 price drafts! Also check out our review! Read more
It astonishes me how many people frequent this bar. Every rare visit here reminds me why I do not. The food is terrible and the staff is incredibly impersonal and rude.
