Craft hall surprised me. We went to take my niece to play and I thought the food and drinks would be ok. I was so pleasantly surprised. Everything came out fast and it was above the rest. Their loaded fries were A+. Only problem I would say is I could see this place being swamped during bad weather. read more

What a great concept! Loved the playground and relaxed vibe. So family friendly! My kids had a great time, food was fresh beer was good! Definitely recommend if you have kiddos or dogs! read more

It was a little confusing but the brewery and Craft Hall are the same-- Craft Hall is the restaurant portion. There is limited parking in a small lot across the street or metered parking. I got a flight to try 4 5oz beers on tap. Their limited options was a little disappointing! My favorite was their porter. I also got the warm pretzel with spicy mustard and pimento cheese because it looked so good from other yelper's reviews. They must've changed their menu item from then because the pretzel I got looked completely different. The cheese wasn't in the pretzel, it was a dip and possibly fake pimento cheese because it just tasted like spicy cream cheese. I do love their huge space and bench seating. There's also an entire table of board games to pick from! read more

I haven't been in this building since it was Yard's and ended up here for the first time after a Mad Hatter's Gin & Tea Party last week. There was a nice selection of beer and great food menu. It was a busy Friday night but the staff was friendly, our food came out quick and the fries were hot. Fun place and great location. We'll definitely be back. read more

Not accommodating to large groups unless booking a private area. Manager mixed up our reservations and she was incredibly rude about it to several people in our group. Will not return. read more

My boyfriend and I were looking for something different and came across Craft Hall and decided to give it a try. Upon entry, the restaurant/bar is quite big with plenty of space and seats available (all along the covid rules/guidelines). The menu offers a lot of handcrafted beers by Mainstay Independent and bread by Lost Bread Co. unfortunately, the restaurant was out of chicken wings so we weren't able to try it - bummer! We opted for the pork poutines and the pork shoulder bbq platter. The poutines were actually quite delicious. The gravy was creamy with loaded with flavor. The pork shoulder platter was delicious as well. The pork was juicy and tender and came with a side of coleslaw, pickled beets and onions, and two slices of Lost Bread Co. The bread was really good! It was buttery and you can actually taste the milk in it (creamy). Highly recommend if you are a beer fan! The only downside was that the bar didn't offer anything else but beer. It would have been nice to see some wines and cocktails on the drink menu as well. I'm not much of a beer fan, but my boyfriend loves IPAs. read more

Craft Hall is a huge venue great for big groups looking for a casual drink. During COVID-times they have spaced out tables appropriately and I'd make a reservation if you're planning on coming here. On the menu, they have a large selection of beers of different styles and a number of food options. I tried one of the beer flights and was impressed that I enjoyed every beer I had selected. My friends were also pleased with their beers and their moscow mules. I didn't try any of the food myself but my friends said their choices were solid bar food. Overall, this is definitely a fun place for a big group looking to drink some brews! read more

They've expanded the number of beers on tap since was last here. I lump Mainstay in with Craft Hall since they're basically the same entity, but just on the beer itself, I'd say Mainstay is a solid. I think they've improved their food a little bit recently as well. Tons of space, which is good in the pandemic world. They have changed the layout a little bit though, and where they have a wall towards where the old kids area is/was, so they can close that off for private functions. Will be back in the future. read more

Hire more servers or get other staff to help with things like bringing water and plates out. I think there was only one server, and every time we tried to get this guy's attention, he was slinging water pitchers to new tables. Was about to just go to the bar to order drinks. The bartenders (and every other person working the FOH) looked completely relaxed .. while our server looked like he was losing his mind trying to get to everyone. read more

Totally different type of Ambiance then I expected, brought me back to the days my dad used to take me to the union meetings with him and I'd get to play with the other kids who's dad brought them while our dads talks due's paid and due and next meeting getting scheduled. Thanks for bringing back those good feel memories. Also had a Blast and won big with Frontier plus had a slamming Long Island and played some Super Mario Brothers... great night all around, hope to get back soon and try some food next time. read more

Great place to hang out for a few beers and socialize your dog(s). Service was good, beer was good, food was just decent. Good atmosphere and family-friendly. read more

Cool place and nice concept, however could use some improvements. Food was ok. The brisket was a tad on the dry side, (sauce barely helped, so I just think they need to cook it with more juices?) however the wings were delicious (nice crisp on the outside, and tender on the inside). Beet salad was good too. As for the games, they do have a large selection of board games. They also have a neat area for the little ones to run around. Shuffle board - needs more sand. It was quite difficult trying to push sand into an area just to grab a tiny bit to put onto the board itself. It was definitely fun though. Overall, I probably would go back as my kids had a great time. read more

I visited this place about two or three times so far. It definitely has an energetic vibe. You can choose bar seats or table and bench. There is a medium size kids' play area at one of the corner with a big equipment that has a few slides. If there are a handful of kids, this area can get crowded! I would highly suggest watching your young kids, especially when there are numerous of older kids running around. There are some kids friendly video games in that area too. Across to the other side of the room is where the arcade room is. Plenty of games for kids and family to play, but make sure you have change. As far as their food, I have only tried a few selections on the menu. Their pizza taste not bad. Made to order and it is crispy and thin. A good chill out place if you want to grab food and drink while the kids are off to burn off their energy. But make sure you prepared that it can get crowded there with kids running around the area. read more

Fallon is a great bartender. I really appreciated her knowledge and expertise on the beer list. The brunch menu is pretty great, albeit a bit on the expensive side. $17 for chix and waffles is a bit extra. However, I will say it is probably the best chix and waffles I've ever had. Also, the the poutine with eggs was also bomb.com. The space is fantastic! The games are fun! read more

I love this place! They have a large variety of beers and ciders to choose from. They are very dog friendly. There is a "dog porch" where you can sit outside with your dog, eat and drink. They also have a dog park where you can order drinks and they bring them to you. The dog park isn't large but it does the trick! I bring my dog pretty much every evening because she loves being able to run around and have space. read more

A pub where you can bring children, drink alcohol, and watch sports? Count me in! Went for my friend's son's first birthday and we had a blast. The kids had a good time too - and we got to stick around to watch the sixers game. Pretty good food too and a fun atmosphere. The play area for children is also well made- wooden construction. read more

Brisket was like boiled shoe leather. Cole slaw was unseasoned shredded cabbage. horrible plate of food. Too bad because it could be a cool place. read more

A relatively new addition to the neighborhood located near the casino. It's a spacious brewery with a small parking lot in front and additional parking in lot A of the casino. Walking in, there's a ton of seating on cozy couches or regular high top tables. What's unique about this place is that it has an indoor playground, so it is kid and adult friendly! They don't do table service so you have to order everything at the bar, but there is a large food menu with the usual bar fare (pizza, sandwiches, fries) with about 10 beers, 5 wines, 5 cocktails and a cider choice. The beers and ciders were pretty good, and the food was fairly average. Our group ordered fries, pizzas and some pulled pork sandwiches - nothing stood out too much. I did enjoy my unfiltered cider, which was a tad too sweet but still good. It's a great place to go for a casual hangout for multiple people, and a unique spot where you can bring your kids and still have a beer. read more

Stopped by Craft Hall today and boy was I surprised....This place has had a total overhaul and just opened today! Soft open, but all was in place, great service from the bar tenders, really good beer! And had some fantastic bites from the kitchen...go for the BBQ pork it's awesome. What i really liked was that place is that it has a great hang out space to hang with friends but that it also a great area set up so that "friends with kids" can also come and hangout. You have gotta check this place out....seriously! Yea and great music too. read more

Hidden gem that's beyond 5 stars! Wish I took pictures but will definitely be going back. One of the greatest bbqs I've had! All the meet was so juicy, tender, and flavorful. We got the bbq tower which came with thick Texas toast that tasted like a thicker cornbread, with pickled vegetables, pickled onions, pickles that tasted like bread and butter pickled mixed with horseradish, and coleslaw. We got the jerk rubbed chicken, ribs, and brisket and the ribs were my favorite with the chicken a close 2nd. They also had specials on a Saturday night! $5 wings and pork poutine fries, both of which were delicious. The wings were better than expected, very juicy and flavorful. On top of that, very friendly staff, extensive beer selection, and really spacious with a cool interior. Highly recommend! read more

Used to come here for the burger but they changed it. People used to rave about the burger and now i won't order it. The "brisket" in the potato skins was deli roast beef in bbq sauce. Also sandwich prices went up and now do not include fries. I hope its a new chef to blame. Shame. read more

Craft Hall - Potato Skins. Not brisket - Brewpubs Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

It seemed like a great place to relax after a day of sightseeing with an 8 year old. However, the playground is better for younger kids and games in the game room accept payment but don't work. The manager was not able to help us actually play the games we paid for or refund the money. The manager referenced having to bring it up with their "vendor." Most vendors will reimburse establishments for having to cover losses of customers due to their machine's malfunctioning. We moved on to Frankford Hall in Fishtown and had a great time. read more

Craft Hall is really interesting. It's a gigantic, family-friendly brewery with a pretty complex restaurant concept. All of the bread and desserts are baked onsite via Lost Bread Co. The menu features a lot of great snacks and sandwiches, though not many healthy options. I've tried the cheese curds, wings, fries and italian market panini. All were absolutely delicious! The beverages menu offers a lot to drinkers but not much for non-drinkers. I've personally tried their ginger beer, which is on tap (it's great!) and virgin bloody marys (their mix is made in-house and it's delicious!). I'd really love to see some creative NA cocktails, though! For the drinkers, there's a ton of beer, plus some wines, hard seltzers and cocktails. Only a few of the cocktails are made with local spirits (shout out to Philadelphia Distilling and Manatawny Still Works) and it would be cool to see more Philly representation on that list. For someone like me, aka, not a kid person, Craft Hall is kind of a hard sell. This place was without a doubt made for families. It's truly a genius concept! On my two visits (so far), there were multiple children's birthday parties. That said, the space is so large that even adults-only groups can likely find some kid-free space near the front bar. This is my spot for hanging with friends who have kids and my go-to recommendation to parents who want to get out with the little people for a while. read more

I have been wondering when people would realize that we all want our kids to play while we eat/drink! Other than a McDonald's... Craft hall is a MUST for families with young kids! If you ever wished you could go out like you used to, if you ever yearned for feeling cool again... finally! You can have it all! They were SO accommodating to the large group we had. I love that it is just bar service- you want water? Go get it! Ketchup? It's over there! YES! This is what people with kids want. Let us do it ourself so we don't have to wait for anyone! My kids loved every single detail about this place (1,3). They played for 3.5 hours, which is exactly 2.5 hours than we have ever managed to be anywhere else!!! Thank you craft hall -we will be back!!!! read more

If you are the parent of a toddler, like brunch and drinking while you brunch, and want to hang out with your friends who are also toddler parents, this place is a must in your Philly rotation. The giant indoor play area is ingenious, and the brunch food is better than it needs to be- the chicken and waffles are my personal fave. You do need to supervise your kids while they are playing, but I think that's the case whenever you're out and about? Appreciate the close proximity of the bathrooms to the kid area, and the chicken coops near the parking area- there's also an old/out of service fire engine near the parking area as well. read more

The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Had several dishes and they were all excellent especially the chicken.

Such a great place! High ceilings with exposed pipes, wood finishing, large open spaces. You know the vibe! Great bar area with high top tables, another area in back with elongated picnic tables, and a large play area for kids with a wooden pirate ship. Sprinkled around is a bookshelf filled with games to enjoy at your table? A few mounted screens for video games with your smaller kids. Full bar with craft beers as well. And the food? So good. We had the huge pretzel served with mustard and cheese dipping sauces, the cheesesteak egg rolls, the spinach artichoke dip and a grilled cheese with brisket. Great "bar food" and quite tasty. (The spinach artichoke dip is spicy though, despite having nothing in the description to warn of that.) staff were great. Help yourself to the bar to order and food is then delivered to the table. Casual, tasty, great atmosphere and not terribly expensive at all. Two thumbs up!! read more

We visited this place on Mother's Day and I definitely have mixed feelings about this place. The website makes it seem like there's fun and games for everyone. It's not...unless you have small children and you want to drink while not being bothered. We have adult children, lol. It's like a daycare for kids who's parents need a moment to throw a few back! The breakfast buffet wasn't really worth the price because the food wasn't good. If you're a drinker that doesn't care about labels, it's perfect for you. I probably ate about $30 worth of bacon and waffles. That was the only thing that was really good. The bottomless mimosas were just OK and the bottom shelf/house liquor Long Island iced teas kept me there being as though we'd already paid $100+ for two people. They tell you it's $39.95 per person but they don't tell you that they added 20% gratuity automatically along with sales tax. Maybe we'll go back to check the regular menu out another time and that's a huge maybe! It's best to go on a Friday night or long as it's night time. Go late. There shouldn't be as many children. Hopefully. read more

This place is seriously a genius idea and I'm not sure why there aren't more establishments capitalizing on parents with kids! Life doesn't end when you start a family and become parents. Most people would rather not pay a someone just so they can go out and grab a beer and a bite to eat! This place has a huge indoor pirate ship structure that our 6 and 4 year old loved- they happily kept themselves occupied for a hour or two while we sat and relaxed and had some cocktails! We noticed a ton of play dates happening with other groups and will do this in the future with our friends! The menu was select albeit a bit pricey for bar bites, but the food was good- they did a nice brunch selection though!! There are TVs over the bars that you can catch the sporting events- I got to check the score of the US Open while I waited for our drinks this summer! There is a section with a foosball table and corn hole and another area for old Skool Nintendo games- a couple of the controllers were faulty but neat concept nonetheless- behind the pirate ship there are mini rock climbing walls that are perfectly kid sized- the irony is that we spent money at the Real Rock Wall next door only to have them go as high as the wall here! Rookie move! There is a big outdoor patio area and even a pettIng zoo of bunnies and chicks! Our littles loved climbing the fire truck out front too! All in all, a great place to gather families where there is something for everyone read more

Was so much better before Covid. It was a great place to bring your kids without feeling like you were sitting at a bar. The kids area had a huge wooden ship with a bunch of other areas were kids could play, parents could sit and watch while enjoying a beer. Now this place is like a mall play zone, packed, nowhere to sit and dirty. A shame. Will not go again. read more
