Graffiti Bar is more of a bar, more there for the food than the ambiance, the other restaurants have more of an ambiance. Service: I always go for happy hour and the service is always quick! Never wait more than 5 minutes for my food literally! Food: I would argue that you guys have the best happy hour menu in Philadelphia! Everything is always amazing. But my go-tos that I order every time are the beef satay, kimchee fried rice and the kung pao chicken wings! I would love to come back and try the whole happy hour menu to add to that list!

I went into the Graffiti Bar for Happy hour, which runs from 4-7PM. It was very busy and tough to…read moreget a seat, but we managed. It is located behind the restaurant, you can walk down the alley or walk though Sampan (to the left behind the kitchen). Beef Satay...very good! Definitely would get this again. Kobe Sliders...good Chili Crisp Chicken Bao...very good, balanced with all the right flavors and the Bao Bun is like biting into a cloud of dough. Kim Chee Fried Rice...really good, this was definitely our favorite. Riced cooked perfectly and the flavors were so memorable with the egg in the middle. After Happy Hour we didn't need dinner for the night and it was great to take a walk in the city to digest!

Find Brazil's at the west end of Chestnut, just before the highway. Ample street parking nearby but watch out for cobblestones which will shake loose any hardware on your car that had a doubt.

It gets hot in here, so keep it layered. Nearby bar on the other side of the room keeps your spirits up. Water and paper towels station in the corner keeps you hydrated and not dripping sweat.

There was enough room for all of us to sit and dance, without tripping on the furniture or each other. The song catalogue is maybe 4 years old, but has some real bangers and is very international! The birthday girl sang Diljit Dosanjh. It is synced to YouTube which took a minute for us to figure out, but further expanded the catalogue. For the bottle service, they gave us 2 bottles of Espolòn and some juices which carried us through the night. For our appetizers, we had fries and buffalo chicken bites. They were very, very basic and came in a checkered basket. Also, we brought a birthday cake and the staff kindly helped us to present the cake with sparklers. We had a lovely time and would highly recommend for a birthday party if you have the means! Given the price though, I took 1 star for the food and for only having 2 employees working. They were both lovely, but clearly stretched too thin.

Everyone we interacted with was absolutely wonderful and pleasant, ranging from the team members to our fellow patrons. I had a gin and Sprite to drink and I ordered the burger for some grub. The drink was standard but on the strong side. I enjoyed the burger very much and found the fries to be hot and crispy, just as a good shoestring fry should be. Of course, we enjoyed the live music that swirled around the bar that evening. The band was great and upbeat. I would definitely return!

Unfortunately, this was by far the worst experience I've had. We had a 7 PM reservation and arrived at 7:15 PM. I acknowledge that we were late and apologized to the host. However, we arrived within the stated grace period. When we checked in, the hostess explained that because we arrived later within the grace period, our 90-minute seating window would still end based on the original reservation time. We acknowledged that and had absolutely no issue with it. What made the experience uncomfortable was how aggressively we were reminded about the time throughout the entire meal. We were reminded at least 5-6 separate times how much time we had left. Comments like "just so you know you have 25 minutes left" and "our next party is coming in 5-10 minutes" made it feel like staff was actively trying to rush us out before our reservation time had even ended. Mind you, we already understood the policy. One reminder would have been enough. Instead, it completely changed the energy of the evening and made us feel unwelcome and pressured to leave. We had originally planned to stay through our reservation and then move to the bar for the live music afterward, but after being repeatedly rushed, we decided to leave entirely and spend the rest of the night elsewhere. The most disappointing part was the interaction with the manager, Eric. Rather than listening or showing any understanding, he immediately became defensive and aggressive. He repeatedly insisted we were "15-20 minutes late," which was simply not true -- we arrived during the stated grace period. The issue was never the policy itself. It was the way we were treated throughout the night. It's unfortunate because this has genuinely been one of my favorite spots in Philly, and I've recommended it to multiple people. But this experience left a really bad impression, especially when bringing guests from out of town.
