Tamara VSeptember 17, 2013A bar with a large selection of rare Belgian beers is my kinda place! (Can't help it. Am Belgian, so a beer snob. Avoid the German & the American stuff. Trust me :-)
Crowd is either 20 years older or 20 years younger than me! Great European beer selection. And across from the greatest bar in town!! The Midtown German Festival shoud be a barn burner!- Philly.comOctober 10, 2013Clad in a Black Forest's worth of reclaimed wood, an indoor beer garden in Midtown complete with self-service beer taps.

Casey BarnettJanuary 16, 2014Good pub but a few beers leave you wanting more. Ask you bartender before deciding you know better that them. A little trust will save you some cash and skunk a bad beer.
Sergio DiggsFebruary 15, 2014The Bauernwurst was amazing and the several brews I had were too! Thanks to this place, I'm only going to be able to look at 3 cars in a row before bathroom visits at the carshow!
Angelica DongalloOctober 29, 2014A handful of the draught beers are from PA. Cool feature is that you can purchase a bar key for $25 and have access to a selection of beers by the oz.
John KhuuJanuary 5, 2015Surprisingly good beer list. Girls are all dressed with laced stockings and high shorts. Also, they're all NICE people too! Enjoy the brew and view.
Bre BonnerAugust 4, 2016The food was delicious. Some of the staff wasn't as great. It seems like a place where if you sit at the bar you'll have a really great time.
Joe PerryAugust 6, 2014Great place for craft beers, domestic and foreign. Catch a soccer game, or just enjoy any wurst platter. To go anywhere else is the wurst.
John LopezJanuary 30, 2015Get the platter! The beer list here is extensive. It's friendly and tends to get a little crowded but it's well-worth the trip!
Dean HaynieMay 6, 2016Great beer list. Lots of weird beards, but that's not surprising. Guy dressed in full on civil war general's outfit, that was a first. Must of been the Craft Brewer's Conference that was in town.
Brian MasefieldMay 26, 2015If you can't find a beer here, it probably doesn't exist. Great space - they even have "self serve" options.
Marie PirainoApril 29, 2013Great selection of rotating, interesting craft beers. Knowledgable bartenders. Cozy and warm, like a log cabin in the middle of center city!
EverydayJanuary 21, 2014German sausages and to wash it down, a nice German beer. Ambiance ranges from quiet to rowdy depending on sporting events.- Ben OstranderApril 30, 2013Great beer list and great wurst. Sit in the back on a nice for a big open window and nice breeze.
Gary NoeSeptember 17, 2014A very good selection of beers, the food is totally awesome, nice seating and very good service.- Gary NoeJanuary 7, 2016This is one of my favorite bars. Great service, awesome beer selection, and good food.
Mooney MjAugust 7, 2014Where else can you sample different beers from a self-serve wall and keep the beer tap key?!
Adrienne ChenApril 7, 2013How the beer wall works: buy a key for $5, load it up then skip the line at the bar and head straight to the wall to pour your own beer.
Ben LohmannSeptember 21, 2014Awesome food, lots of beer (including a self-serve station!) and environment.
the currywurst is phenomenal! I'm a Berliner so I know good currywurst - trust me ;)
Betty MakAugust 19, 2013Great beer! They also have a checkered table that you can play checkers on with their bottle caps.
Dave RichardApril 27, 2015Really expensive, but amazing for what you pay for. I would welcome more drinks in the $5-12 range, though....
ReeseJune 11, 2016Ask for your veggie burger to be cooked well done or else it will be mushy like mine was ☹️
Chris SiaplayMay 22, 2014Cool spot was surprised how good their apple cider beer was ( I barely drink)
They respond quickly to customer feedback..give them a shot for good beer and German fare!
Leonard HansonAugust 18, 2014Beer very good, but food deeply disappointing to those who know the real thing.
Jessica WAugust 18, 2013Great beer, but as for the food it is nothing like German! Don't waste your money unless your drunk and don't care... Don't get me wrong it taste good... But it is NOT German!!
Michael Dylan FerraraJanuary 28, 2016Great for broing out...wouldn't go on a first date there tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ann MMay 4, 2013Great beer selection. Eat before you get here, though, menu leaves much to be desired.
This place is pretty inconsistent. They also told me they had a $20 minimum on cards during sips, which is insane.
Yoel RothApril 28, 2013Pretty good beer selection, but the crowd unfortunately tends to be a little frat-tastic.
J DonmoyerJune 14, 2013Not my scene... Too many unnaturally hairless men drinking blue moon and women afraid to eat sausage for a German biergarten.
Jessica DennisonJuly 10, 2015The music was awful and the crowd was even worse. Horrible atmosphere. Is it a club, a bar, or a nice restaurant?

"Philly's oldest pub! Great atmosphere and friendly Irish atmosphere."
Lissa Poirot - 8.2
"Great food, live music, kitchen opened late and Chimay red is the way to go if you like Belgian beer.:)"
Roxanne Thompson - 7.4
"Great atmosphere. Even with colder weather, overhead heaters make it so cozy. Cucumber margarita scorpion bowl is soooo tasty (although the alcohol potency is questionably low)"
