Beautiful location, spacious seating (even in the little private area we were in), and a great menu/bar selection. Was there earlier this month for a retirement party of 50+ people with lots of different tastes and dietary restrictions, but Hook & Ladder had us all covered. My table and I tried the generously sized charcuterie board, Brussels sprouts, mushroom soup (soooo good!!), and for my entree, I ordered the braised beef rib (also excellent). We had a lot of salmon orders at the table, too, and every plate was empty before the dessert menus came around -- I didn't try the crème brûlée or bread pudding, but they both looked like a nice end to a great meal. The staff had a bit of a hard time keeping up with drink orders and refills, but we're a pretty heavy drinking crowd with a lot of different tastes, so that's no surprise. They were friendly and timely in clearing plates and silverware though, and the bartenders were friendly and swift. It's not easy accommodating such a large group, so I can see us coming back here for future big events. I can also see how it would be a good place to celebrate any kind of special occasion with a smaller crowd, too. read more

Hook & Ladder Sky Bar - Fiddlehead IPA at the bar while waiting for our tables. - Bars Near Me - Conshohocken, Pennsylvania

Love this sky bar. It's chic, nice ambience located on the 2nd floor of a hotel. The food selection is fantastic and everything we ordered were delicious. Forgot to take some pictures but I did for my Chilean sea bass. It was melt in your mouth and love the ginger scallion infused flavor in it. One of the best sea bass I've had! Would definitely come back here again!! read more

My husband and I had a wonderful Valentine's Day Dinner at Hook and Ladder. The spicy tuna bite appetizer was amazing. I could have had 3 orders of these. We had the filet (cooked perfectly) and the sea bass. We really enjoyed both dishes. They had a special dessert for Valentine's Day and it was delicious. The service was fantastic. They had several hostess' on staff that sat us promptly and we sat at a high top in the bar area (we wanted to enjoy the live music) and the two bartenders were friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable about the menus and specialty drinks. They were so nice! Thank you to Casey, Lloyd and the Chef for a very enjoyable dinner. We look forward to coming back soon! read more

Escaped to the stunning rooftop at Hook & Ladder atop Hotel West & Main in Conshohocken! Pro tip: their Sweet Potato Cinnamon Old Fashioned comes with a pour so generous, it makes your aunt's holiday "splash" of bourbon look modest. Had the octopus & chorizo starter (power couple of 2025!) But the real showstopper? That sea bass was swimming in flavor heaven with its brussel sprout besties and the smoothest cauliflower puree. That ginger soy sauce though? I'm pretty sure I heard angels sing. Hotel West & Main, you've officially ruined all other dinner plans for me. My wallet might not thank you, but my taste buds are sending love letters! read more

This is a roof top restaurant located in a hotel in Conshocken. We dined on the patio which had a great view and ambiance. The hostess and waiter were both pleasant. My fiance enjoyed his drink, my margarita was ok, a little too watery but ok. Probably not their speciality but oh well: ) We had the ceasar salad and poached pear salad for our appetizer- both were excellent! My entree was amazing! The ginger soy chilean sea bass dish is a MUST! I ate every morsel! - LOL! The filet with the peppercorn sauce was also very tasty! We really enjoyed our dinner on a beautiful Sunday evening. I definitely recommend and will certainly be back again for dinner and dessert! Thumbs up!!! read more

Came in as a party of 3 on Saturday 2/15/25. We were all set on our menu selections until the waiter shared the valentines surf and turf special - 32 oz. Rib eye, 1lb. King crab leg, mash, asparagus, champs, & chocolate tasting for dessert. We went with the waiters suggestion to upgrade to the 40 oz. Tomahawk ribeye. It was all delicious and plenty of food to share between 3 women! I would like to return to try a seafood signature dish. read more

I had to do business in Wayne Pennsylvania so I found this hotel to stay in for the night. I did research so I ended up here for convenience, cleanliness and rates. Because this place is considered downtown, I had to park in a garage. It wasn't that simple so I had to move my car. The Calinami was good. Too much for one person so I didn't eat much of it. The salad was ok. It was fresh and it was a nice sized salad. I crushed it. The BLT was different. Even though it clearly described the dish, I didn't like the bread. It was like a consistency of Rye bread...which made a supposedly simple BLT harder to eat. The bacon pissed me off. I'm sure it was leftover bacon from someone's breakfast. I didn't eat the whole thing. I did eat the desert though and lastly, the Long Island I had was good. I felt underdressed as I realized that this place is connected to an official building and they regularly history meetings. The price I spent on this lunch was definitely enough to buy 2 people dinner. Would I come again? I would but I know now what to order. The experience overall was just ok. read more

Between 1812 and H&L, happy hour is splendid in Conshohocken! Great outdoor space with Adirondack chairs, grassy lawns and a sheltered space that's great for families or couples with dogs. I recommend starting at the "Sky Bar", second floor, for the impeccable Spicy Tuna. Soooo good. Then grab a beverage and lounge downstairs on the plaza. read more

Edits: In response to the restaurant's comments. We were more than happy to abide by the new policy. We were inquiring whether we need to secure a table when our friends who were in the restaurant walked past the hostess stand and told us we could take their spots. We also have friends in multiple tables that have seats to accommodate us. I wasn't sure what the issues were that could not be communicated. We have had great experience before. We got the burger when they just opened and I had been impressed of what we had and recommended everyone to share this dish we had a great experience with. We have been here over the past couple of years and a great experience almost all the time. We are throughly perplexed tonight. Our friend is playing live music tonight and we were there to support them and to support the place we saw as an asset for the community. When we came in,we were informed that the 'standing room at the bar' was at capacity we have never heard of. Being respectful,we inquired that whether we needed to secure a table to sit down. The hostess asked if we were 'dining' I replied we would get appetizers. At this time one of our friends came over and told us we could take his place and he was going downstairs. We didn't think much and took his place, we had a wonderful time talking to a couple at the bar until I tried to order a drink from the bar. We were told by the manager that the hostess did not feel comfortable with her interaction with us and that she needed to stand up for her staff and declined to serve us. No one understood the reason for this treatment towards us. We would really love for the corporate to explain to us why we were treated this way. I understand regulations and treating everyone equally as I worked in communities but I would love for the rule be clear and transparent as no one understood why we were treated the way we were. Please take a review at the surveillance video if you have it and let us know what was the interaction we had that was so out of line that we deserved this treatment from your management. W really loved and welcomed the new venue and utterly stunted but this treatment towards loyal customers read more

It was our first time here. We came to celebrate our 21 and 24 yo son's birthdays as a party of 6. The food was ok and the service was not really ok. Apparently the dishwasher was not working and it sounds like maybe some people called out. All I know is we ordered drinks before dinner and it took forever to get 2 of the drinks even though it was a draft beer and a cosmo. The service was not attentive. I had to ask for my water to be refilled after my glass sat empty for a prolonged period of time. Something small but at a place with such an upscale menu it felt like a service miss. The food was ok. The A5 was excellent, the sea bass was better than expected, the filets were good, the lobster was good and the scallops were ok. It seemed like some of the plates maybe sat under a warming light. The sauces on the plates had a film as of sitting for a minute. After dinner the waiter dropped off the dessert menu and it was a long wait before we could request a check. Overall, it was ok. I don't see us returning there. read more

Bar was very nice and great views of courtyard. We sat down to dinner and the service was terrible. We ordered drinks took 10 minutes to return. There was only 1 other table at the time. Super expensive menu and much didn't appeal to us. We should have looked at menu first. Service was so disappointing we left after long awaited appetizer. I definitely think we will try bar again. The courtyard looks fun an worth trying. read more

This was my fourth visit to Hook & Ladder and let me just say this place used to be an EXPERIENCE. There were 2 guys named Eric running the place and the service and ambiance were FANTASTIC my first 2 visits. About 6 months after my second visit I came for a third, what a difference, unfortunately. The whole feel of the atmosphere has completely changed. The staff seems miserable, the portions were smaller, the food not as tasty, the music was some kind of club music, the "manager" looked like a scared 16 year old boy wearing his older brother's dinner coat, and seemed genuinely terrified when we asked why our food took over an hour. My fourth (and, needless to say, my last) visit was excruciating. This place seems to have fallen into pure chaos. Will not be returning. read more

Hook & Ladder Sky Bar - This was the poke bowl from the hotel bar downstairs . So delish ! - Bars Near Me - Conshohocken, Pennsylvania

Picked Hook & Ladder to celebrate and they crushed it. A large private party was just seated so we had a slight delay to get our table, but once we were sat it was a delight. There are helmets hanging from the roof with plants. Nice touch. The bar area is lively but we got seated in the back room in a cozy corner. Alexis is a charmer. Gave great menu recommendations and was somehow able to handle the private party plus many tables. Started with drinks, bone marrow (must order), spicy tuna bites and the hamachi crudo. Presentation of all was creative and the flavors popped. Scallops, sea bass (largest order I've ever seen) and the braised beef rib. A strong sear on all the scallops and sea bass but also so soft inside. Braised beef rib was so well cooked it fell apart with just a fork. Dessert was the bread pudding (many textures and a generous portion) plus the puff pastry with fruit. Was just hitting up Michelin starred restaurants last month, and I would say this dining experience was better. read more

This was a very unimpressive meal with underwhelming seasoning and flavors. For the menu prices, the food quality and flavor should be executed perfectly. The lobster bisque was flavorless and tasted like cream, not worth $15. It needed salt, and just flavor in general. The French onion soup was the only item I truly enjoyed. The tuna bites were okay. The fried rice component was flavorless and needed salt. The chips and caviar were an absolute joke. $19 for paper thin homemade "chips" that had zero crisp. The amount of caviar on each chip was laughable, and you couldn't even taste it. It added nothing to the dish and was basically for looks. The pecan pie was a small tarte that was half filled. It wasn't gooey, and the ratio of filling to crust was very off. The cleanliness was lacking. Menus were dirty. Sharing plates were dirty/dusty. The restaurant was very dusty and dust kept landing in our waters. I unfortunately wouldn't return given the high cost and lack of execution on the food. read more

We are locals and had no idea Hook & Ladder existed, let alone for 3 yrs!! We had family in town and they happen to stay in your hotel, we meet them for happy hour and it turned into dinner too! The property is beautiful, alot if history in that building and it shows. We had the pleasure of meeting Amanda, she took such good care of us, even talked to us about some of the history of the firehouse. We were asked if we ever dined there before and we said no, obviously, and with that Amanda walked us through every step of our evening. We had all of her recommendations, Tuna Bites, and for the 1st time ever, grilled oysters and the octopus (that was unique) Then we enjoyed ourselves with Ginger Seabass, Short Rib, Scallops and the Strip Steak...delicious does not describe it all. Dessert was such a surprise, we couldn't decide and Amanda asked if she could pick and we were presented with a variety with, I think, ALL of the desserts...My husband loosened his belt after that. We could not have had a better experience and Amanda was nothing short of patient with us spending 3 hrs with her, telling us she was there all night and not to rush and enjoy ourselves, even topping us off with a little toast for our 'family reunion'. Thank you for a wonderful evening. read more

Hook and Ladder is a hotel bar & restaurant (in the Hotel West & Main, Conshohocken, Philadelphia) with local bartenders and wait staff. The staff are casual, friendly, and pleasantly talkative. The food is first class, the draft beer options are very respectable, and the spirits inventory is downright creative. The King Salmon is grilled, crisp, and so tasty! No, they don't give it away...but you do get what you pay for in Philly! read more

What can I say? I'm hooked!!! My friend and I had the best experience here. The service was excellent. It's located on the second floor of the Hotel West and Main which is also great. Beautiful location with indoor and outdoor seating. Romantic, great ambiance but a bit noisy (not a big deal because everyone is having a great time). It's good for first dates, girls night, parents night out and whatever your need maybe. You can't go wrong. The food looked but we went for drinks. I'm nosy and saw a lot of empty plates. Must be a sign of good food...lol The server was attentive and the drinks were strong and beautifully made. P.S: go ahead and use the bathrooms.... They're nice and clean. read more

1000000/10!!! I love this place! I've been here a few times and the staff is extremely kind and friendly, the food is TO DIE FOR, and the ambiance is really cool- it was built into an old historical fire station, and they've really leveled up the decor, making it a nice place to dine with remnants from the fire station. I'd highly encourage you to check this place out. I've gotten the ribs, spicy tuna bits, charcuterie plates and chicken in the past. All dishes and drinks I've tried have been amazing. Overall, great place to go for a nice meal :) read more

So good! The best addition to Conshohocken. Came for a date night and the aesthetic is amazing. So vibey and cute. I wish we were able to sit on the outside portion of the deck but it was busy - we sat in the dining area. Food was exceptional. We got the Caesar salad and crispy tuna for appetizer and I got the salmon. My boyfriend got the $100 burger I def had a bite it was good I don't know if it is worth the hype. We also got dessert - so good. My boyfriend actually ended up coming back a couple of days later with his coworker and got the short rib and said it was unreal. Very jealous. The cocktail list is good I wish they had more selection. Very dark liquor heavy. Was hoping for an egg white cocktail or something with a sprig of rosemary lol a girl can dream. Recommend!!! When we were leaving we were gonna go to another bar, but ended up downstairs at the hotel bar. Great date night spot or for a special occasion. We will be back. Service was also exceptional! read more

My friend and I had dinner for the first time at Hook & Ladder. The place was absolutely beautiful! We were seated pretty quickly. The bar seating was nice but the chairs were a bit high which made it hard to push in. We ordered wine and appetizers. Everything came out timely and lovely. The beef carpaccio was a little under seasoned but otherwise delicious. The bread pudding was amazing. The table next to us had some extra guests so at times they were up against our table but otherwise it was a really wonderful treat. Would definitely go there again! read more

Consider alternatives for large group or private dining. After 2 online requests, 2 voicemails and a live conversation with restaurant manager i still cannot seem to get any support in arranging a 20 person biz dinner. Unprofessional and inattentive...no one ever called me. Plenty of great restaurants in KOP and center city. Food reviews here mediocre as well. read more

Fantastic decor. The ambiance is phenomenal. There is a warmth to the traditional ornate decor. The servers are all very polished Anthony was attentive and a gracious host. The 3 star dedication goes towards the food. We attended for Brunch. I ordered the Tuna Bite and the Arugula Salad. The Arugula Salad was light, deliciously flavored and balanced with cranberries with a freshly fried green tomato. The tuna bite was disastrous. The rice was gummy in texture as if it was made a day prior and then fried. The tuna wasn't flavorful even when eaten with the additional drizzle of mayo. My friend ordered the Eggs Benedict and the egg was over cooked (the yolk was cooked fully) and the potatoes were dry. I heard dinner may provide a more comprehensive experience. read more

I dined here this past weekend. I think the hostess name was Mariam. She was curt and gave a 10 minute wait. After giving her my name and number. She change the wait to a 25 minute. When I mentioned as to why it changed? Seeing they were several tables open. She laughed and did not respond. But that did not deter us. We went downstairs to wait on her text or call. And was waited on by a lady working in 1874. She was very sweet and accommodating. After hanging out down there for 45 minutes. We went back upstairs. And the same hostess sat us right away. No apology or even acknowledgment. But the waitress was amazingly attentive and personable! And the food was great! The Spicy Shrimp & Steak soup was yummy! The Crab cake was 90 percent lump crabmeat and the Bread Pudding was terrific! read more

Dined for New Year's Eve. Ordered the tomahawk, $210 for 2, it barely fed 1 and I ordered medium rare and came out medium well. I told her as soon as it was cut in front of me it's over cooked and pretty much just got a head nod and nothing else. Apps took over an hour and it was not that crowded. Drinks were good and The server was nice. I've been here a couple times and I won't be going back. Always underwhelming and over priced for the quality you get. read more

I want to begin by saying this review is in no way a reflection of the hardworking staff or shift managers at Fall Fest, but rather a critique of the planning and direction from upper management. My boyfriend and I attended Fall Fest at Hotel West and Main on 10/25, and we were surprised by the lack of coordination from the event organizers. The only promotion we saw for the event was on social media stories and a brief mention on More Than the Curve. Considering that, it's impressive that attendees showed up at all, but given the lack of support from upper management, I'm glad the event wasn't any bigger. While sitting it's the bar, it became clear that the employees received limited information from the directors, with some even learning of the event and its details just before it began. However, while being woefully under supported, their attitudes never wavered. We've attended many local events where it feels like everyone, from directors to bussers, shares a unified vision and direction. Here, unfortunately, the lack of communication showed. Although someone had thoughtfully decorated the space for a festive "fall vibe," the staff was so overwhelmed it made it difficult for them to manage details, like children destroying the hay bales and pumpkins. I hope this serves as a learning opportunity for upper management to support their team more effectively in the future, but given other failed events we've attended here I doubt they will. With clearer communication and a bit more structure, this could become a well-loved community event. read more

An exceptional experience start to finish. Came with a party of 13 for an 89th Birthday. Service was off the charts, appetizers were perfect. Had the steak board to share across the table as well as the American waygu and lobster and crab cakes. Everyone at the table raved about it all. Paul the hotel GM welcomed us, Jeff the manager was great and our server Creed could not have been more attentive and explanatory. Will be back for sure. What an excellent addition to the area. The decor and architecture is fantastic read more

The food was absolutely delicious, along with their alcoholic bevs. The spicy tuna bites were the best and alongside that, the crab was good as well. The only downfall I had with not giving a 5 star is how long we waited to receive our food. We made a reservation in advance, so seating was very quick. But we waited almost 1 hour to receive our dinner. The restaurant wasn't too busy at the time either. Other than that, the service was great! Would definitely come back for food/drinks. read more

The atmosphere, service and food were top notch. I had their take on a French 75. It had vodka instead of gin and candied ginger. The burger is definitely an experience...wrapped in gold foil, onion rings, and lobster tail with a side of fries. Their only misstep was over cooking the burger. I ordered it medium well and it came out well. The bartender was knowledgeable and willing to adjust the cocktails to my liking. Our server Semaj was attentive and provided great recommendations when asked. read more

Dined at hook and ladder for a friend's birthday. The restaurant was able to accommodate for last min reservations for 5 on a Saturday night and was beautifully decorated. I'm writing this review because the server we had was hands down the best server my party and I have encountered! He described each dish, gave stellar recommendations, and even brought out champagne and after dinner drinks to help us celebrate.

Drinks were awesome, but the burger was overcooked for a $99. The mash potatoes were not brought to the table. The waiter told us he comped them but we never got them. Not sure he understood the correct term verbiage to use. For the price I don't think I'd come back. read more
