    This is my first time coming here for dinner. There were a lot of people there. The waiter who usually attends our table for brunch was there and he found 2 seats by the window. The dining area was really dark, the back area has more light. It's very hard to get a nice Instagrammable pictures unless you have additional lighting. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Buffalo wings: there were 8 pieces. The buffalo sauce was super mild, I didn't taste the heat at all. The best part is the homemade blue cheese dip. It's thick with chunks of blue cheese. Definitely a step up from the bottled dip. My husband had short rib fried rice. Unfortunately , the short rib meat was a bit dry. It's not a small portion so you can share it with another person. Buffalo trace old fashioned is highly recommended. Very smooth and enjoyable, my favorite so far.

    Always really yummy food and great drinks. The service here is always great, even when they're busy. The bar feels slightly upscale but still very friendly. It's also kid friendly which is nice! We go here a ton.

    Really cute and quaint neighborhood gem. Very creative and tasty cocktails. We had nachos with diced buffalo chicken would have preferred shredded chicken, too many picked onions but otherwise a very flavorful dish. We also had loaded fries that were smothered in brisket and cheese, the fries were fresh cut and delicious. I am looking forward to trying more cocktails and food in the future.

    Fried Chicken Sandwich

    Pretty good brunch! Bloody Mary and blackberry ginger mimosas were delicious! Fried chicken sandwich was good as were the potatoes although they could have been slightly more crispy! Environment was fun and would be an awesome place to grab a happy hour cocktail at the bar or at the outside seating area. Probably wouldn't come back for brunch but definitely for a cocktail!

    Beet happening drink

    First off, whatever they put into their Birria empanadas is PURE CRACK. Wonderful wonderful wonderful. I recently moved to Philly and this has been one of my go-to spots. Delicious food, dedicated bartenders. The drinks are excellent. I usually get the Beet happening, And it has become one of my drink cravings. Deep rich flavors and very well made drinks (boozey too !). It gets pretty packed on the weekends, but happy hour time is usually my deal. They have outside seating and a nice atmosphere. Definitely one of the better spots I have tried since coming here.

    Yum.   Lloyd Burger with Bacon

    This place is spectacular!!!!!!!!!! The burgers and fries are so good. They are consistently cooked to perfection. If you ask for medium or medium-rare, your burger gets cooked that way. I'm addition, the drinks are excellent and they have a good beer menu. Friendly staff. I go often and have NEVER been disappointed. I highly recommend. They also have good dessert and fish sandwiches.

    $15 bottomless brunch....count me in

    We came here on Saturday evening after Kraftworks said that their kitchen was closed at 8:00pm. We hot seated immediately. The ambiance was interesting with music in the background and dim lighting. Good place for date night. We ordered a beer and a cocktail. Both were nice but I felt that cocktail quantity was less making the alcohol strong. Nonetheless it was delicious. We ordered lamb croquettes and duck confit spring rolls. Lamb was bland and the hummus that came along with it was bland too. The server replaced it with Fried deviled eggs which were delicious. Duck confit was ok. We ordered Lloyd's burger and asked for medium well but it came out as medium rare. But this was not a problem. The chef had made the burger perfectly delicious. It really satisfied our burger cravings. We did order another round of drinks. Cocktail portions were small but strong. Whiskey special was nice. Overall, a good place for date night, whiskey night (their selection was good) or simply a good place to satisfy burger cravings.

    Fried chicken bites are so good here!! Get them with the buffalo sauce, it is amazing! I also tried the nachos with buffalo chicken and it was delicious. Drinks are not bad but not out of this world either. I would highly highly recommend the food though!

    What is the typical ambiance on Saturday night and is it good for parties of up to 15 people?

    This place is not super big , it's kinda small. I don't recall them having a large table for 15 people. Max party of 6 I've seen the table size for. But you should definitely call and ask to make sure with them if they can accommodate that many… Read more

You'd be unlikely to find this unless you knew to look for it. The main feature of this bar is the cocktail menu; it's creative and ambitious and yet very approachable, with helpful adjectives for each cocktail. The Mango Sticky Rice made my jaw drop; not only did the juicy mango come through, but also somehow a sense of starchiness, while being entirely balanced with the liquor. Definitely some of the best cocktails in Philly. And the music and vibe is so cozy but lively; the live records spinning create a warm atmosphere that is not sleepy nor dancey, instead you'll find yourself tapping your feet and swaying in your seat while in deep conversation or just enjoyable contemplation. I have to shout out Carl and Brianna, who made our evening especially unforgettable. They guided us seamlessly through the menu, were so knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. They really made 48 Record Bar feel like a second home we can't wait to return to. Last thing- the bathroom setup was such a fun surprise, you have to check it out!!

Huge bar, giant wall of liquor bottles, dim lighting, and a cool old-school vibe. I told the bartender that ordering a beer in a place like this felt like I was insulting him. He laughed and told me not to worry about it. The drink special was called "Naked and Famous," which honestly sounded like the perfect cocktail to order in honor of Jen. But then I spotted a dark beer on the menu that sounded too good to pass up. If you follow me, you know I'm slowly becoming a dark beer guy. I liked it a lot. The sandwich special was a cheesesteak. Sorry, I should've taken a picture of the menu. But I really enjoyed it, and for $18 it came with a mountain of seasoned fries, which feels like a bargain these days. Bomb Shell: the two people working absolutely crushed it. I don't know if they were understaffed or if Monday night got busier than expected, but they were working their tails off the entire time. Even with that, they stayed polite, friendly, helpful, and incredibly accommodating to the guy carrying around a mannequin. Great visit to Sassafras!

Finally someone came out to greet me and seated me in the middle are. He had to put some paper at the bottom of the table because it was a bit wobbly. A lot of choices in the menu. I ordered guacamole and chips for appetizers and it came out right away. The chips are fresh and not stale. Good amount of guacamole. Street corn aka elote. The corn is juicy. Unfortunately, it was not enrobed with mayo and cotija cheese as a typical elote should be. Fried plantain: not many slices. They are dry and not sweet . I was hoping for more ripe plantain Birria tacos: small tacos, the consommé lacks of depth of flavor. I could only taste saltines. The waiter asked if I wanted rice and beans. I said only beans. It's basically mashed refried beans. I wasn't aware that it costs extra $4. My husband ordered this dish served in half pineapple. It has chorizo and shrimp. Again , lacking depth of flavor, very salty. Service was great. The staff is friendly. Credit card is accepted but with a fee. There's an ATM if you prefer to pay with cash.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, since they are located right about Ogawa (also amazing)! We tried the omakase cocktail, which was really fun and creative.

The toro was also a standout, although how can you go wrong with toro, uni, and caviar? The wagyu dog itself was great, but the roll it was on was dry. In my opinion, the bread makes or breaks a sandwich, so points off for that one. The ambiance was cozy, if a little dark at times.

I also thought it would be great if they asked about your taste, favorite cocktail, etc to truly customize the drink. Instead they don't ask about your preference, just if you want shaken vs stirred and to pick a season. So I'd recommend sticking to the actual menu . Other than that the food menu was fun. I enjoyed the wagyu hotdog, and all the appetizers I tried were delicious.
