Rebekah Henson: The Garlic & Herb Tots are killer! Bring plenty of quarters to kill time with arcade games, pool, and foosball in the lounge upstairs while you wait for a lane.
Kate Jacobs: Grab the little semi-enclosed nook next to the upstairs bar overlooking the lanes. It's like having your own private lounge.
Reggie Coleman: This is an awesome place! In addition to bowling there are arcade games and pool tables upstairs in the lounge area. Drinks and food are really cheap and the atmosphere is great!

Terminal A, Gate A14 (at PHL Airport), Philadelphia, PA
Airport Lounge · 27 tips and reviews
Amol K: Normal work space and bar for a Centurion Lounge. What’s unique is the food, curated by the chef from Zahav. One of the best buffers at any Centurion Lounge.
Andrew Welch: Bright modern spaces, excellent cuisine designed by Chef Michael Solomonov, thoughtful wine + cocktail lists, and always warm hospitality make it one of my fave airport lounge experiences in the US.
Yechi Engel: Very sad AMEX is changing the rules... used to be the best lounges around...now only available 3 hours before flight. I used to come and rest after long flights. #disappointing

New American Restaurant · Center City West · 200 tips and reviews
Nicole Roberts: Rooftop lounge.
Visit Philly: The rooftop lounge is Mid-town’s pièce de résistance. Partially enclosed so that it’s servicable year-round, the deck area is one of the most popular nightspots in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood.
James Russell: Rooftop lounge is a great weekend hangout. Beers are affordable ($5-6) and there is a nice wine/liquor selection. Bourbon manhattan's come in tiny martini glass.

Richie Stark: Grab seats in the cocktail lounge and sit back, grab a drink from the happy hour list, and enjoy the starters before grabbing something from the dirt list (or those beets). You can't go wrong.
Sam : Good: Brussels sprouts, crispy cauliflower, bahn mi with sriracha, and eggplant wrapped eggplant.

Italian Restaurant · Center City East · 55 tips and reviews
Brent Madison: Ask to be seated in the lounge, it's the only place you'll ever want to be until you can actually travel to the Amalfi Coast of Italy. And you better grab a drink. Cheers!
Emily Farricker: The Amalfi Coast is one of the most beautiful wonders of the world, and this restaurant is a very close imitation to it. Sit yourself down in the lounge with a cocktail and enjoy the atmosphere.
Maddie Lippincott: Super chic place to eat and drink especially in the lounge. Super accommodating for big groups and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. Will def be back when the patio is open!
Roland Knowlden: Check the lounge on Wednesdays. Love music sheik guests at the bar
Jake Smith: Though a premium, upgrading to the Club Lounge is so worth it. Five meal presentations daily, unlimited beer/wine/spirits, breathtaking views, and the kindest concierge team.
Patrick Clark: One of best Bloody Mary's I've had in Philadelphia. No Bloody-Mary's-are-only-for-morning stigma; can get at any time. Around $12 or so and worth it.
