This was kind of a cool place to stop in for a beer to end the night. Situated on a corner, it is most definitely a local dive. Seems like everyone knew everyone. I can't speak for their famous roast beef as I was already full from dinner, it would definitely return just for that.

My boyfriend and I were visiting Philly for the weekend and stopped in for a quick lunch before going to the museums nearby. We were pretty early for lunch so the place was pretty empty, but the service was great and super attentive. We had a couple local beers on draft (so refreshing) and we each had a cup of the soup (there was a chili and a potato soup). Everything was hearty and we loved the vibe of this neighborhood bar. If we had more time, we definitely would've stayed longer!!

Visited this place with colleagues. One colleague loves it because it is near him. The decent roast beef sandwich is good to order if you are here but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here for it either. I know the prices of things have went up but I did feel $13 was a lot. Lots of bottles but typical drink menu offerings. Offer a food special. Small menu. The laurels of this place are its longevity being in a near cc location but yet still residential and typical of a more rural bar with few food options and you knowing drink combinations or just having "plain jane" alcohol choices. Was going for the vanilla ice cream and Guiness maybe but most bars don't have ice cream.

Outstanding little pub with down home service and care. Definitely was a highlight of the trip so far with their exceptional customer service!

Found the pricing to be expensive. Also, the menu is very limited and our server at bar was not very helpful.

Great food and service. Excellent beer and drink selection. The space is just the right size for a afterwork team get together.

I've been a huge fan since 1992! Philly's best roast beef and roast pork sandwiches, as well as really entertaining people watching.

Cool old corner bar. Kind to outsiders. The roast beef is something special. Definitely worth a stop if in the area visiting.

Glory Beer Bar & Kitchen is a must if you're in the Independence Park area of Philly! My wife and I…read morevisited while we were there and loved it! They aren't lying when they say that they have an extensive beer menu! I had a Dancing Gnome Kolsch which was very good and then a Corsendork Christmas Ale which was fantastic! I normally don't like spiced beer, but this one was perfect! My wife and I shared the cheese and salumi plate which was so delicious! My only re is not getting the large! My wife had the crispy chicken sandwich which was really good. The crust was crunchy and the chicken was tender and juicy. I had the porchetta sandwich which was recommended by our waiter and was SO DELICIOUS! It is a must! At first my wife was concerned about the limited menu. They may not have an extensive menu but what they do, they do right! Our waiter was really great and very welcoming, especially as we were from out of town. The place has a rustic vibe which fits with its old town location. We loved it! If we ever find ourselves back in Philly, we will definitely visit Glory again!

Pretty good overall!…read more Considerably big space for Philly. They had an upstairs too but I am not sure why it wasn't open during majority of the night. When the big crowd from the conference left they opened the upstairs. The Mac and cheese is SO GOOD. Very creamy and rich, the bread crumbs were an amazing surprise edition. This fatty finished it before the beer came. Lots of beer choices. I took off a start be size they were under staffed. So we were just waiting around for the check and the waitress kept forgetting what we asked for. Honestly, not her fault. There were like ~100 people and only 3 employees that I saw. So no designated waiter for tables. These poor 3 employees were the bartenders and the table waiters.

Overall: This is my favorite tap room in the city! There's always room, staff and patrons are…read morealways friendly, and the beer is always good. Worth stopping by if you're in the West Village! Food: 4 Drinks: 5 Service: 4 Value: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Food: Surprisingly good. We shared the chicken quesadilla. It was filled to the filled to the brim and delicious. They cooked it perfectly with the edges getting extra crispy like a tortilla chip. I didn't have high expectations for a place thats primarily a bar, but this blew me away all things considered. Drinks: Best taproom in the city. 20+ premium options. They have an awesome selection of beers, including some local options. They have wine and liquor too, but you should focus on the beer. This is the place to go for a good draught. Service: Servers are friendly and down to earth. They're great at suggesting different beers. Value: Not cheap, but not bad. Beers are $8-10 (pretty much market price in the West Village) and food is a decent bargain given how much food you get. Atmosphere: Its a cross between an old school pub and a sports bar. Its dark and 90% male (my wife always comments on how male heavy it is) but I think it has a good vibe. Good beer, good food options, and friendly servers.

This place is a historical gem! I have been going here for over 20 years and every time I go in, no…read morematter what the crowd is or who the new bartenders are, I feel like I never left! The crowd is pretty young, but as a mid-40s, I don't feel out of place. The bartenders are knowledgable and always helpful in making decisions. Why they didn't get 5-stars: This is actually a 4.5-star place and only gets dinged 1/2 star is that is can be hard to get a table or a spot to be. It's a very small venue, so be prepared to stand around a bit. That's it, great beers, good vibes, still a great spot!!!
