Locust Rendezvous For The Win (FTW)!! Wow...I have walked by this place numerous times and never even noticed it was there! Of course, the scaffolding outside the door and small entranceway add to this bar's allure. LR is truly a powerful and mysteriously attractive establishment. Some folks may categorize it as a dive bar, but I had a wonderful experience after dropping in for a few drinks to get my evening started. If you're looking for a low key, relaxed, and fascinating neighborhood spot - look no further! The service was great, drinks were strong, and most importantly - the atmosphere and vibe was very inviting. Definitely worth checking out! read more

This dive has all the things you would want in a dive bar, and it doesn't even small bad. Drink specials vary weekly with different $3 beers and $2 shots, its like its always happy hour. Erotic photo hunt, solid wings, and a smart set up of their tables round out the other elements that ensure a good time. read more

I only have ever gotten the Egg salad sandwich and the cheesesteak here. Both tasted good but diarrhea the next day is too likely. $2 Beer specials are always the best in area. Good beer, like Miller High Life or Rolling Rock, goes on sale all the time, not cheap PBR. Atmosphere is fun for groups. I would not risk their food again. $10 minimum charge is a pain in the ass, too. read more

What's the deal guys???? It's a bar, an OK center city bar. It doesn't try to be anything more or less than that. A great place to come to after work and slam some drinks back. The last time I was in it was full of service industry people trying to get over their own shitty evenings. I got bought 2 shots by complete strangers and got properly drunk. Meanwhile, the daytime bartender Michelle is a legend in this city! She knows just about everyone and is a sweetheart! read more

I liked the "Vous." I was headed there for a late happy hour with some friends and we were pleased to find out that they had feature drinks of the week. The week we were there is was $2 Lionshead bottles and $2 Shots of three olives grape. We decided to indulge in both and the waitress was even nice enough to bring over the caps for all the Lionshead's so we could solve the riddles. We decided to get crazy and try some food and we were all pleasantly surprised at the deliciousness of our order. The veggie grinder was very tasty as well as the grilled chicken breast. While the chicken fingers looked a little ill in color they made up for it in taste. Overall a good place to chill, drink and eat for cheap. read more

Came from Phoenix for the Army/Navy game. Stopped in to try the Hershey's porter. The staff was super friendly and found us a table. Tried the French onion crock and it was delicious! Definitely a dive bar, absolutely worth checking out. read more

This is the kind of place that can either by depressing or awesome - I think it would mostly depend on your mood/state of mind. I found myself totally digging the chill, dark and bare-bones bar feel of it. Plus, our hot server was really attentive, funny and totally engaging, which really helps when you're surrounded by sad, frown-faced old dudes with scotch on the rocks. read more

The vous is almost everything I want in a session bar. It's clean, but not sterile. The staff are surly but not hostile. You'd be better off sticking with beer, but no one is going to kill you or make fun of you for ordering a girl drink. I was in this past Saturday for my birthday and was really impressed with the new (ish) manager that was on the floor and noticed a few subtle differences since I started going there years ago (I was one of the "industry" people mentioned in another review). First, I actually felt like the staff were happy to serve me for the first time ever, the manager and waitress were super friendly and the bathrooms were much cleaner than they used to be. I see no reason to complain about the place. read more

Friendly little "dive" bar. Great drink specials, good comfort food, always have games on, jukebox music is excellent.

can i give 3 and a half stars? a good bar with really good bar food. They're really accommodating to big groups and they're always playing the big soccer games that are on during the season. that's a plus. read more

One of the best bars in the city!!! Everyday there's a specials on shots, beers, and drinks. YOU CAN'T BEAT IT. The people that work their are great. Steph our waitress is always on top of things. Even the food is cheap and tasty. Can't wait to go back. read more

This is my favorite bar in the city. They always have good beers on draft and the food is always solid. I've been coming here for about 3 years and I've never had a bad experience. This place is good for groups, and also for a date. If you like beer and bar food then check this spot out. read more

I'm giving you five stars, Rendezvous, because you always make me happy and I always have fun at you. I've been lucky enough to have interesting chats with people here, but I have a bad/good habit of talking to strangers. Oh please oh please oh please bring back the Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat. Ah well, I won't complain. I'm glad there's a place which won't break the bank where I can enjoy great food and drink with a bunch of friends, still hear ourselves speaking, and - if we're lucky - get a great view of gals falling down the stairs of the sushi place across the street. Stilettos have their time and place, ladies. read more

Firstly, Mummers scare me. I hope I'm never at the Rendevous with a bunch of Mummers refilling their sprite containers. That said, the Rendevous is good for some things. A shoddy dive bar with cheap beer sold really cheaply, it's a place to go with a bunch of people when you're really low on cash. They do $2 pints of Lager, which normally is not my thing but sometimes...sometimes. The best thing about the Rendezvous and places like it is the cheap whiskey. Particularly when they do great whiskey/beer specials and I can just slide my beer over to someone else. read more

delicious cheesesteak, and it comes with pickles, an amazing bonus. Great selection of beers and really nice staff. Happy I walked upon it!

Always a good time. Really a pretty nice place for a "dive bar." You never know what kind of beer will be on special. They sell Smirnoff Ice! read more

I was pleasantly surprised...this place was empty when we walked in and thought to myself..."uh oh". But the server was super nice and efficient and was busy making the place look sparkling clean. I ordered an omelet with sausage, tomatoes, onions, and American cheese. It was excellent, especially the sausage, and was perfectly cooked. The home fries were crispy and evenly cooked with lots of onions. The coffee was great and I had a spicy bloody Mary that was very good. I'm definitely coming back for brunch and will be recommending it to people for sure! read more

I was in for an early dinner and quizzo Wednesday. Our server Christine was great and we ordered two apps that were yummy as usual. We missed Mandy our favourite server! But we will be back when I come into town. Always great food and service. read more

worst bar in philadelphia. the staff never gets to you (i've waited a half hour for ONE beer in the middle of the afternoon), and if you're coming in with people under 21 you can forget about drinking. apparently whoever makes the rules got it into their head that people under 21 couldn't be at the same table as people of age if anyone was to be drinking. their food is sub-par at best, and their beer list is like a "who's who" of mass-produced american piss-water. broke? go to Oscar's. want good beer? go to Monk's. if it's tuesday just go to Fox & Hound. the vous is for lame college kids and sports-bar douchebags. read more

I was in Philly for a baseball game and stopped by this place. It has great beer specials and mystery shots for 2 dollars. Food was so so but, the crowd was pretty chill. read more

came here with friends for a short Sat Happy Hour perfect place to sit and have cheap beers and bar snacks our waitress was VERY nice always close by to see if we needed anything good selection of beer on tap. lots of specials had the wings and nachos; wings were just ok but those nachos were excellent with the chili and all the toppings (prices were cheap too!!) we watched some NCAA football on one of their many screens; place being smallish, u can get a good view all together) liked the juke box probably not a place i would go to late nights (young crowd??) but to grab cheap beer and food... it's worth the stop read more

This place is awesome. A no thrills, casual laid back bar that is a major welcome in Center City! Sometimes you just want to order some amazing wings, watch a game on tv and drink a $3 beer in a clean (non divey joint). Food is great, wings are definitely the Top 5 I've had in the city. And the bartenders are great! I recommend this place to anyone looking for an affordable casual spot. read more

I love this place! Great beer and shot specials everyday of the week, friendly bartenders and waitstaff plus good cheap food for late night. The Vous has a big industry crowd every night and I see why. They have a no-nonsense straight up hospitality attitude towards everyone that walks through the door. Michelle is awesome during the day as well! If you are in the hood check this place out. Its a dive like no other. read more

Please for the love of all that is good and holy, put fried chicken on the menu permanently! To make room for it, you can get rid of something that nobody wants like salads! read more

I really like this place though to me it seemed more like a sports bar than a dive bar. We needed a place for some late night tipsy food and found this place, and we were not let down. There are plenty of tvs for sports which was good because it was the NBA playoffs. I have the cheese fries and it was your typical good bar food. They have drink specials all day everyday it seems. I'm not complaining about Miller Lite bottles for $2.50, hard to beat that deal anywhere else in the city. Service was quick and friendly and with the food/drink deals they have I would definitely go back if I was ever in Philly again. read more

My latest love affair. Cheap drinks, fair tap selection (they had Lagunitas IPA last time I was there) and a lovely dive bar atmosphere. I got to chat with Rick, the harmonica playing (literally at the bar, I mean) hair dresser who has cut Justin Timberlake and Ozzy Osbourne's hair. (So he says.) He was fun to talk to for 20 minutes until I realized that I could barely get a word in edge-wise. But his grandiosity was well worth it when he bought me a $3 Victory Pils and all was well again. read more

"The Vous" -- as it is commonly called -- is one of the best and under-rated bars in all of Philadelphia. The location could not be any better -- right smack-dab in the middle of Center City. And the prices are phenomenal. (As I have heard many a patron say -- "I cannot afford not to drink here!"). The atmosphere is cool and relaxed and really represents the epitome of the cross-representation of Philadelphia. Young, old, men, women, rich, working class -- the Rendezvous is kind of a "melting pot" for the city. Their secret? There is no pretentious atmosphere that plagues so many other Center City bars. I fell in love with this bar the day I arrived to the city. It really is one of the best! read more

Fantastic wings and great service during a busy football game.

This is a great place to go with a few friends for some drinks and good food. They always have great drink specials. Their grilled buffalo chicken tenders are so good, and their Spanish fries are terrific. I went here once tor quizzo too ( I think Wednesday nights?) if that strikes your fancy. Will keep coming back to this place. read more

Do not get the seafood platter unless you like frozen fish sticks. I specifically asked my server about this when ordering it-- She said a lot of people order it. When she brought me my check I told her it was awful. she then admitted she had never seen it before, she is a moron. read more

Great "dive" bar feel. Good food, cheap drinks and really cool staff. Perfect for an old dude like me but still hip enough for the hipster doofus crowd. read more

Visiting from out of town and checked on yelp to confirm hours. Website said they were open u til 2:00am. Walked in at 12:35am and was told their grill was just cleaned and only serving fried appetizers. If that's the case owner need to state only serving food until 12:30am. Terrible! read more

Extremely good fresh and yummy for pub food. Great service and fun atmosphere definitely worth a visit . The waffle fries with gravy a must have l! read more

Kathy was the Best! Friendly, funny and a fantastic server. Wish I could say the same for the food

It's all about the food here. They have a large menu with lots of comfort food. The rotating specials are a good deal. You can always get a good hot meal of comfort food like meatloaf, hot roast beef, mashed potatoes and veggies. affordable prices too. read more

I find myself keep coming back here! Can't beat the $3 beer & $2 shot deals daily. Also, the $7 pitchers are great! Last night I tried the nachos supremo (which they indicate on the menu as "awesome baby") and they were pretty good. Great place if looking for a dive bar. read more

This bar is awesome for happy hour. It is a hidden little bar with really affordable prices for beer and wine. They have quizzo too!

Sorry folks, even under dive bar status this place is just not that good. Maybe a beer and the game. Cocktails overpriced and food not good. Grilled Reuben is listed as the best in the city. Not. So sorry, had higher hopes for a quick bite and a beer. Servers were friendly. read more

The Rendezvous was our third stop looking for a place that we could could get a table and watch the Eagles game at. First clue this place may have issues is that they had tables available when the other two places were standing room only. The service wasn't terrible it was non- existent. The bartender was also the only waitress in the entire place. Apparently this is a common occurrence, a man sitting at the bar came to our table and told us the bartender asked him to take our drink orders. We eventually were able to get some food and it was ok. The prices are so reasonable that I will probably go back to give them another try. Who knows maybe they'll hire a waitress by then. read more

Their corned beef was so juicy and tender and their mustard just made everything taste better. My friend and I went for lunch and drinks and we weren't disappointed with anything. The bar wasn't packed but there were a few groups and the service was still excellent. The drinks came quickly and we were introduced to a nice new whiskey--Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey. They also let you taste test the beers on tap, which is always good. A place with $2 and $3 drink specials all day is the prefect place for alcohol lovers. read more
