    Sports bar, member of the union and Eagles clubs, and they have a lot of beers on tap. Sometimes getting staff attention was a little hard, the oval bar in the center on the first floor was packed, difficult to move around for the staff and visitors. Upstairs I think they had a darts or some other league coming in to meet. Food looked good, but unfortunately didn't get a chance to sample as we came in for a quick beer and out again to dinner elsehwere.

    Cavanaugh's was a delightful place to visit while in Philly! A busy sports bar right downtown with the traditional sports bar feel (nice, large bar, louder environment and TVs with sports games on all over) and food options, but tasted much better than most normal sports bars! My wife and I had split a couple of appetizers, including their brussel sprouts and Philly cheese steak egg rolls, both of which were incredibly delicious! My only minor complaint was the slightly slow service but, it was a busy Halloween weekend, coupled with the World Series on TV, so I definitely understand the situation. Overall, well worth a try if you're in town for an event or want a great place to eat and watch sports!

    Cav's Award Winning Wings - Lg 12 - "Cavs Sauce"
    El K.

    The bartender was great--friendly but gave you space. I think I'll enjoy the pierogies more when I'm a bit tipsy, but since I was able to think clearly at that time, they tasted just "meh" to me. As for the wings, the phrase "award-winning" is a bold statement; I appreciate the confidence, but I've tasted better. I do like the size of those thiccc wings, though. I just wish they were crispier and had more flavor in the sauce. Overall, it wasn't bad. I'd give it a 7.2.

    Cavanaugh's is a solid sports bar in Rittenhouse, Philadelphia. It skews towards a younger crowd and although we're not that, we fit in wonderfully. The staff were very sweet and efficient. We watched the Eagles game eating potato tots, chicken wings and sandwiches. Good times!

    My first time at Cavanaugh's since the move and I had a good time. Upstairs was kind of crowded for the Palmetto Bowl so I stayed up there briefly then found a spot at the downstairs bar where I was able to meet some folks who lived within walking distance. We chatted a bit, I offered some beer options that I thought they'd enjoy as I indulged in a Goose Island Boubon County Stout which is absolutely delicious! Available only on the main floor and is greatly recommend. The Saturday night college football atmosphere did not disappoint at all. Maybe, a little too accommodating trying to satisfy everyone with games on the tvs which is never a thing cause someone will find a reason to complain, but overall I appreciated the effort to show as many games as possible. It was great seeing everyone in their college gear and hearing the Ooohhhs and ahhhs, laughter, fight songs, and screams across the bar, upstairs and downstairs. If you're game, I'd say grab a mystery beer and let your tastebuds be surprised. I was not disappointed at all. :) My only issue was after a while the bartender was MIA and never came back to check on us or to see if we needed anything else. It was pretty busy but with a couple people behind the bar, just a quick, "Hey, are you guys good?" Acknowledgment would have been nice. Overall, it was a good time, and the nachos were amazing even though they still came out wrong with the clarification. LOL

    The chili speaks for itself!

    Great option if you want a less crowded happy hour/game watching experience, but skip the food.

    Is this a fun place for a 12 and 14 year old? Or is it more adult appropriate?

    Cavanaugh's does allow minors to enter until 8pm. After 8pm it is 21+. It is more adult appropriate.

    I'd this location handicapped accessible?

    I heard this might be a Seattle Seahawks bar and that they fly a 12 flag out front. Can anyone confirm?

    We do have many Seahawks fans come in and our chef is a huge fan as well. We would have no problem flying a #12 flag. We don’t fly a flag out front but have banners inside of our alumni teams. Let’s beat those Cowboys!

Thank you to the really nice bartender in the orange hat (also a millennial) who grasps the concept of 'it's so loud in here' like it's not a nightclub. anyway the prices of the drinks were great. NO cover charges (that night) the floors were covered in confetti, and it was awesome watching jake paul get his jaw broken on someone's phone! #netflix ps. if you have a video of me acting up in a sombrero--no you don't.

A quick note for first-time visitors: the restaurant has multiple entrances, and I initially arrived at the back door. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful in directing me to the correct entrance. The space has a unique atmosphere. The indoor dining area felt quite dark, but the restaurant appears to have multiple levels, including an upstairs dining area and a bar, which adds to its charm. I started with a cocktail and really enjoyed it. It was fruity, well-balanced, and had just the right amount of alcohol without being overpowering. Based on recommendations, I ordered the burger. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me. It could have been cooked better, and overall I wasn't particularly impressed with it. What stood out most was the service. My server was attentive, friendly, and checked in regularly without being intrusive. Overall, The Dandelion offers a pleasant atmosphere, excellent service, and great cocktails. While the burger wasn't a standout for me, I'd be willing to return and try other menu items.
