    Wings and curly fries
    Yandhira F.

    I think it was really good. The wings were a great size. The fries were delicious. It came out really quick. The bar itself was a really nice vibe. I really enjoyed the whole thing. I think it would be a great time. Will definitely come back and pro tip. Get the wings with the sauce on the wings. Do not get the sauce on the side. They could get a little bit dry if you do. Overall delicious!

    Spicy BBQ wings (20)

    It's actually a bar located in Philadelphia at 10th & Locust. Wide screen TVs mounted on the wall, Music box in the back, and friendly bartenders who know the locals. We all know bars are known for having some of the best food. Well they do not disappoint on the wings. I ordered the Spicy BBQ. You get 12 wings for $16 or 20 wings for $19. Which ones do you think I got? They are fried hard like I like them, crunchy, and the spicy BBQ is magnificent. They also come in mild, but I wanted all the smoke. There is also beer on tap, and all of the sandwiches are served with a side of steak fries. If you are in Center City and want some good wings. This is the place. Till we eat again....

    Andrew is the bomb diggity; come see him! He's been here a year so far. Stop in and add your songs to the queue on the jukebox/touch tunes, and enjoy the night! But seriously, Andrew was great and had awesome recommendations and very attentive despite it being a little busy. Definitely was worth coming here after after seeing "Dreamgirls" at Walnut Street Theatre.

    My favorite kind of dive bar - no gimmicks, dim lighting, strong pours, and full of regulars.

    Don't go for the food. Overpriced for what you get. Service is fine. Ambiance is what you'd expect for a corner bar in Philly. Maybe the drinks are good.

    locust bar is a cute lil dive bar with touch tunes that used to have cheap prices. it's usually quiet when i visit, except for quizzo nights when it gets packed! the staff is friendly and they have a wide variety of food and drinks! they have vizzy's and mike's hards which i personally love. unfortunately after visiting the other night they have raised their prices (at least on the food) :( i am very sad to say i will have to find a new bar with decent, cheap food. it was good while it lasted, locust bar! you were my favorite spot to visit after hanging out in washington square! i am legitimately sad about this lol

    Great Center City bar with great food and drinks. Friendly service and Kareoke on Sunday nights and quizzo on Tuesday nights.

    One of the last smoking bars left (you've been warned!) which personally I love with a spotify jukebox in the back.

    Finally got here! Ye Olde Ale House My good buddy Erik…read moreMalmberg has been telling me about these beef sandwiches since the day I first met him. Recently, The Godfather of Meat did a keen review and video, in which everything looked awesome. It took us about 45 minutes from Emmaus, and it was worth the trip. House made roasted beef with the house gravy on a sensational Kaiser roll -- was what we came for and they delivered! Piled high and fresh with provolone cheese. This is the best beef sandwich I have had in decades. Simple quality at its finest! This has quickly become my gold standard classic beef sandwich. The "Matt Fries", were interesting and completely unique: fresh crispy fries topped with generous black pepper, old bay seasoning, Parmesan cheese and Turkey gravy. It worked! We enjoyed them and the large portion was more than enough for 2-3 people. Steph Rush very much enjoyed the mussels in red sauce -- another generous portion, served with was bread. I had an order of the cold shrimp , which is weekends only. Fresh, cooked perfectly and extra horseradish in the cocktail sauce by request. We were overjoyed with what we ordered and I love they have birch beer on tap, my favorite! The joint was packed and busy, our waitress had her hands full in her section. We are looking forward to a return trip ! #rushieeats

    I like the vibe of this place. You can tell it is a neighborhood staple. No frills, been here…read moreforever. A solid roast beef sandwich. Where the stars are lacking for me is on cleanliness amd attention to detail. Mozzarella sticks were cold in the middle. Tables and chairs need to be wiped down better. The table condiment holders were not very clean.
