    Delicious food, friendly staff and a fun atmosphere. There is inside seating as well as an outdoor area where you order food. Mostly German menu but there is a Classic Burger that is really good. Hand cut fries are delicious and the soft pretzels are so warm. The cheese dip is really good too. Ice cream is so creamy and the chocolate pretzel milkshake is incredible. My compliments to the chef!

    Beer!

    Amazing place. Inside and outside area with games, fire pits, patio heaters and food. Lots of beer and drink options. Food menu is pretty good with a decent number of veg and vegan options.

    The atmosphere alone is what gets this it's rating. The sunny courtyard with large trees, brick architecture, and plenty of large oak tables makes this amazing on a sunny day. They even have vendors on the outskirts of the courtyard on some weekdays. Inside has nice tables with good warm lighting and a ping pong table. That being said, the beer is decent and the canned beer is pretty pricy (upwards of $15 or so). I know that must be a philly thing but I'm still not use to canned alcohol being so expensive. They can come in a stien which is good but not a big deal for the size. They also have beer cocktails which not many breweries can say and even though I didnt have the coctail I tried the beer it goes with and can tell it would be a good choice. The staff was friendly and helped with recommendations and samples. We are more hazy people and there weren't any even with their big list but I think that is just not their style. They have tones of janga games but no other boardgames which was a little disappointing but not a big deal either. Overall a great place to go with big groups esspecially in good westher.

    Still love it here. ESP on a beautiful day. It's a great place to come for a bite and beer.

    Really cool spot to drink outside on a nice day. Chill vibes, good crowd. The cheese that came with the pretzel was randomly so bad though

    We enjoyed this place has a very cute outdoor area. However too busy to enjoy during the weekend but if you have time to hit here on the week days much quieter and nice. The German food is yummy they serve.

    Food is good (especially the soft pretzels), beer is good, but it's hard to leave without smelling like a bonfire

    My first time to this venerable Starr attraction, and sorry to say, I wasn't overly impressed. While I love creative adaptive reuses of old literal brick & mortar 19th Century buildings, and Frankford Hall delivers on that score with large spaces, red brick walls, concrete floors and rusty iron beams, struts and huge glass windows and portable walls, the kitchen left a lot to be desired. Loved the German beer selection, but found the execution of basic standards to be lacking. My Pork Schnitzel Sandwich was on a decent seeded Martin's Roll, but offered little flavor beyond the drippy mustard sauce that covered my fingers with each pick up. That the server doesn't deliver napkins, condiments, nor flatware, is frustrating enough, but when the dish calls for those necessities, yet doesn't provide them, it shows a lack of concern for the customer. Sure, we can walk over to a self service station to get them ourselves, but none of that is immediately apparent to a first timer. My son asked for their standard cheese burger w bacon, served medium finish. What he got was well done. The steak knife stabbing it in the heart was an ironic twist, because it symbolized what he received - a manslaughtered sandwich with the murder weapon still sticking out of the corpse. How is that even possible when the menu is so limited that execution should have been perfected long ago? On the other hand, the tagalong fries were also overdone, but sufficiently crispy and nubby to actually be enjoyable. We were excited when we walked in and saw how well preserved the old factory floor was, and appreciated the layout of inside/outside space, the bar and the large windows and roll up garage door walls. We left knowing that we couldn't eat the atmosphere, and the kitchen didn't hold up its end of the bargain. Time for new eyes to find the right vision for this unique venue. The current view just isn't making it these days. But, then again, maybe the supersized Bavarian Pretzels tell a better story.

    Great place to hangout with friends - with both covered and outdoor garden with picnic tables. Its self-service - you order beer/drinks and food from the counter and can sit on any available tables. We went on a Saturday afternoon during Octoberfest and had a great time.

    Fantastic vibes, stellar beer list, delicious no fuss food menu, and arguably the best spot in Philly for your easy-to-plan group outing. I was hanging with some girlfriends on a rainy summer Saturday afternoon, and it wasn't overly busy. We easily found an a spot indoors and grabbed our beers from the bar, with big kudos to the knowledgeable bartenders. I told him what I usually tend to enjoy and he poured me the "kristal" on draught, which suited me perfectly. As time went on and the sun came out, it seemed like the entire neighborhood came out to play in the giant beer garden. I really enjoyed the burger here and also appreciated the reasonable prices all around. Really looking forward to my next trip and excited for a summer enjoying the neighborhood and Frankford Hall.

    Honestly there were soooo many people here on a friday afternoon and rightfully so! The staff was so kind i asked if someone could clean our table we wanted to sit at and immediately with no hesitation they did! The pretzel and cheese was honestly soooo yummy the cheese had a little curry taste with onions. It was top 5 favorite pretzels i have eaten and you have to get the cheese!!! It honestly is just a indoor outdoor feel place to have a beer super casual and great for games. We came and played jenga had a few beers and a pretzel. It was just a good activity for a friday afternoin. Next time i go up to Philly i will be back!!

    The atmosphere is great, and it's a fun place to hang out! We ordered the giant Warm Bavarian Pretzel with the cheese dip. The pretzel was good, but we were not a fan of the cheese dip. For my meal I ordered The Classic Burger (single). The patty didn't have a ton of flavor, but the potato bun and fries were good. Overall, this is a great place to hang out and get some food and drinks!

    Are you still asking for Proof of Vaccination status even though the city doesn't require it?

    Hello Samantha. Per the City of Philadelphia guidelines, we do not require proof of vaccination at this time. Masks are still required to enter the building and when not actively eating or drinking.

    Are the s'mores and fire pits back yet?

    Hi Chandni, they certainly are. Hope to see you soon!

    Would a picture of our vaccination cards suffice or do you need the physical card?

    I showed a picture and that was sufficient

    What is the covid entrance policy--do you need to wear a mask--do you need to be vacinated?

    Hello Michael. Thank you for your inquiry. All guests 12 & older must be vaccinated to enter Frankford Hall. Let me know if I can answer any further questions for you.

    How long are your outside dining wait times on Friday evenings?

    Hi Abi! If we begin a wait on Friday evenings it can range anywhere between 15 minutes to an hour, sometimes a little longer. Please feel free to call ahead and we can let you know the wait time prior to your arrival. Prost!

    Do you still have s'mores kits to roast s'mores?

    Good evening Chandni, Due to current city and state guidelines we are not offering S'mores . Hopefully we will be back to gathering around the fire pits and roasting S'mores soon!

    Is there room to host a fundraiser here? Are there happy hour deals for large groups?

    The space is big enough to host an event for a large group of people, it would just be getting permission from the management.… 

    Is it 21+ only?

    No! I've seen children there!

    Is it dog friendly? I see they have a ton of outdoor tables!

    Within the same week I was allowed to bring my dog in and then denied at the door on another evening. There is a total lack of consistency and the lady at the door basically said it was her decision.

    Do they watch game of thrones here? If not are any phila bars having got watch parties?

    Yes! We are hosting watch parties every Sunday for season 7. We had a great turnout tonight. We hope to see you next week!

There's a cool outdoor area that wasn't open on my visit this past week, due to some rain. They have plenty of tables inside, though, with QR codes so you can order from your seat if you want. The location is excellent; you're right across from Brooklyn Bowl, around the corner from the Barcade, and just a few steps from the Fillmore. Other Half has a large beer selection--but I think it's important to note that most of these are of the hazy variety, and very few with an alcohol percentage below six. For most beer enthusiasts this is probably fine, but I had difficulty locating a beer that was a little lighter and more my speed (on my first and only other visit, they did have a can of something closer to my normal choice, but that wasn't on the menu this time around).

As a Northern Liberties resident, I've visited Fringe Bar several times and have generally enjoyed the experience before my recent experience with the manager. Unfortunately, my visit on June 13 around 4:30 PM completely changed my opinion of this establishment. My friend and I were seated and waited nearly 20 minutes before our food order was taken. Our server explained that their ordering system had gone down.... We were understanding and patient but to be honest it felt like she forgot. About 10 minutes later, we finally received our drinks, and our server shared that management had continued assigning her additional tables despite the issues, making it difficult for her to keep up. We sympathized with her and gave the staff plenty of grace. After waiting another 30 minutes, nearly an hour total since arriving, we still had not received our food. What made the situation even more frustrating was watching another table that arrived roughly 30 minutes after us receive their meals before we did. At that point, I approached Henry to ask about our order. I explained that we had been waiting for nearly an hour and that guests who arrived significantly later had already been served and they needed to hurry up with our food because we were hungry. Before I could even finish speaking, Henry interrupted me, stated that he would comp the food, and told us to leave. All I wanted was an explanation and asked that our order be prioritized after such a long wait. Instead of attempting to resolve the issue, Henry immediately escalated the situation and effectively removed us from the restaurant. The interaction felt dismissive, unprofessional, and completely lacking in customer service. Even another manager appeared surprised by how quickly our order was canceled and how the situation was handled. The entire experience left me feeling unwelcome and disrespected. Mistakes happen. Delays happen. What determines whether customers return is how management responds. Unfortunately, Henry's arrogance, poor communication, and inability to handle a reasonable customer concern ensured that I will never return. The attached photos include timestamps documenting our visit and the lengthy wait and a photo of Henry so you can avoid him. DO NOT COME.
