    Cheesesteak nachos stole the show and that was honestly all the food we should have ordered. Also ordered the vodka pasta with the chicken cutlet. The cutlet was stellar as expected but the vodka pasta was more of a straight up red sauce. The baseline for vodka pasta in the area is L'angolo, Maria's and pinas. As for the pizza it was my first time ordering a circular pie from bar jawn. The grandma is amazing and has been my go to for years. This pie was cut like tavern style and not typical 8 slices. Pizza was okay. Have ordered the cheesesteak before but not this time where it clocks in the best in the area. All and all a solid eat in spot.

    Welcome to Bar Jawn in Manayunk small corner bar packed with color and flavor. Cheery bold primary colored sticker laden tables and chairs fill the sidewalk welcoming you into the small bar where a long communal high top table and a handful or more colorful 2 tops offer seating alternatives to the bar. Bar Jawn probably only has room for 30 or so people inside so there is a 90 minute limit. As far as friendliness goes. Bar Jawn is what you would expect from its name and decor. Super friendly. A nice family run place with the kids helping out with table service and bussing. The place is clean and food is served on mismatched China another fun detail. Sadly the food did reach the same level as the vibe and service. The chicken cutlet was overcooked, the cheese steak meat was dry and the bland cottage fries got too soggy under the meat and peppers. The wings were cooked nicely though but almost $19 for 8 wings. They weren't 2 bucks each good. Glad we got to check it out but don't think we would pop in again when in Manayunk.

    This cost money.

    Ordered pizza. Was served a burnt, overpriced flatbread jigsaw puzzle cut into tiny squares like I was being rationed carbs. The crust is carbonized, the cheese is offended, and each piece costs approximately one mortgage payment. Yes, I got a refund -- which was issued with minimal eye contact, fewer words, and the warmth of a DMV line. No apology, no explanation, just vibes that said "please take this refund and leave quietly." Please see photo for the crime scene. Would recommend only if you enjoy artisanal disappointment with a side of silence.

    amazing bar & hangout spot in Manayunk fits right into the neighborhood still serving pizza (barstools 8.1 review) with the addition of tavern pies served dine-in you have to find the bar menu (on the bar) even to realize they have them (not listed on the actual menu) non pizza food options are insanely good either way burgers, wings, cutlets everything was stellar bartender was super nice and churning out espresso martinis ambiance is stellar enjoy #bourdain

    I'm sorry to see all the rough reviews for Bar Jawn. Yes, it's small, it's Manayunk... Great meatball eggs rolls, variety of spritz', rotating taps and the best chicken Caesar salad in Roxborough/Manayunk. Friendly staff, great weekly specials and all around legit Philly spot. We love it here.

    I had a lovely experience at Bar Jawn. Came on a weeknight and we were sat immediately. The restaurant is a small space, but it's very hip. Feels like a cool neighborhood joint with fun decor. Service was attentive and checked in as needed. The food was a step up!! Elevated bar food with some Italian flair. We tried the smash burger with fries, and a jawn cutlet sandwich with caesar salad. Portions were on point and the cost was consistent with the quality and portions. You won't leave hungry. Everything was absolutely delicious and I love the seeded rolls they use. Crispy exterior with a chewy interior. Looking forward to returning and trying some additional offerings.

    Good BIG BACK activities going on here. I started with the Triangle Mozzarella Sticks, and they were definitely a hit--the cheese pull was a solid 10/10. Initially craving a sandwich, I found they only had seeded buns. However, our waiter was fantastic and suggested having any sandwich served over fries instead. I opted for the Jawn 2.0 over fries, and it was perfection. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was nice. I'll definitely be returning.

    Cheesesteak with onions.

    I love this place. Down home, servers are so friendly, food is excellent (make sure you get some kind of peppers to cut through the amazing richness of the cheesesteaks), and don't miss the spritzers. Blood orange with gin and champagne. Love it!!

    The food was exceptional. Fast and friendly service. Overall amazing experience. The gallery wall of photos of guests gave it a homey vibe.

    Jumbo wings and cottage fries
    Kelly S.

    Wings were listed as jumbo and smaller than most places,even smaller than the sauce cup fr. They were 18 dollars and didn't come with anything else. Major let down. Mango habanero flavor was really good. The fries we had to ask for salt and heard the table next to us ask for salt too. Our server was super nice and the lychee spritz was delicious and a great size for 15 bucks. The side street was a great place for eating outside.

    Fried Ravioli & Mango Habanero Wings

    Grabbed some apps here before the Phillies game on Saturday night. There was one table left for walk in's. Reservations are recommended. Me and my husband split and order of fried raviolis and wings. Both the apps were very good. Overall the service was quick, friendly, & accurate. Plus the food came out quickly & was very good! I like what the new owners did to the place. They gave it a nice facelift, way better menu, and great service.

    20% gratuity for what...OUTTA POCKET!!!!!!!!!!
    malikah a.

    The bill was ridiculous! $172.00 for what? The 20% gratuity charged for bills over $85 is insane. Why are people being penalized for spending more money? It makes no sense. I would think it would be tacked on for checks under $85, not the other way around. The menu said a 20% gratuity would be added to parties of 6 or more, so why was it added to ours? The drinks weren't good, and while the food was hot and tasty, we will never, ever return. What a rip-off. Philly natives beware,Bar Jawn was definitely,outta pocket!

    As far as a bar experience goes - this is a must visit. I think to be successful down on main street manayunk, you have to have a clear differentiator. While the bar itself may feel like any other down this strip (TV's for sports, nice draft list, indoor/outdoor seating), they really take it to another notch with their menu. My friend and I literally had to mentally plan in advance, what we wanted to order, because there was so much we were interested in. They certainly have a lean towards "Italian" style dishes (pasta, meatballs, chicken parm, etc.) but they somehow have also kept it rooted in a casual bar finishing. I don't know where to best guide you - my advice would be to close your eyes, point to a couple places on the menu, and you'll probably be happy. We tried their meatball egg rolls, which I think are a clear stand out here. Not only is it a creative take on meatballs, but they are cooked perfectly - crispy on the outside, tender on the inside - and positioned standing up on a bed of red sauce. Their sauce is delicious and it's a genius play for that first bite being smothered and every nook and cranny being packed with flavor. Their south philly chopped cheese and jawn cutlet sandwich are what we chose to split, and both were bomb. Flavors hit, but they also didn't skimp on any of the ingredients. While some of the other dishes we had were good, we didn't feel as impressed by them. The mac & cheese was kind of basic - and with how creative they are with their sandwiches and additional app's, this is one that can kind of get lost in the mix of "memorable dishes." Different strokes for different folks - they serve is more of a "soupy" cheesy dish - I think a panko crusted top would make a big difference. Also, the cheesecake egg rolls. Served similar to the meatballs, where they are cut in half and sit in a base (whipped cream base for the dessert.) I don't know if it's just the idea of having fried-cheesecake where it can feel a little over indulgent or too decadent. I think actually having fresh fruit added to it could help. It's good to have on the menu nonetheless, but not likely what we would go back for. One big compliment we usually have for restaurants we visit is can the answer be yes to "do we want to come back to try more things?" This is a definite yes for us, however, it did feel slightly limited for vegetarians. Definitely worth checking out!

    See all

    For a place called Bar Jawn, I think there could be more beer and wine options. The atmosphere was cute though and staff was nice.
