    Went to grab a quick bite to eat. Our flight got in late on a Monday and options were slim and after traveling for two days straight to get out of DC really didn't feel like dressing up and wanted a chill place to go. Place had a good crowd with the FIFA games going on in Philly with many bars and restaurants hosting watch parties. Service was OK but nothing spectacular. The food was not my cup of tea and probably would have been amazing after a night of drinking. They offered many items that you would find at a diner which is what was appealing to us. Tip... Italian doesn't mean italian sliced sandwich bread but a hoagie roll. Found that out when I order my sandwich on italian bread. This was not high on my lists of places I would want to go back to. The food was OK nothing great though the menu pricing was very friendly on the wallet.

    Chicken cheesesteak
    Roger C.

    We were downtown and hotel down the road (DoubleTree security) highly recommended this place for dinner. The food and atmosphere were phenomenal. We had cheese fries with gravy, a cheesesteak and chix cheesesteak for food. Prices were average (for downtown) but portions were very large. The only downside was the server. She really didn't pay much attention to us and wasn't very friendly. Maybe it was just a bad night but everything else was perfect!

    Fries and french onion soup

    Great place for some drinks and bar food! The french onion soup was amazing! And dont skip the fries.

    Great neighborhood bar. Food is average, not great not terrible. Good prices on drinks for the area. Great tunes and chill vibe. Nice place to watch Philly sports.

    French Onion Soup

    Would come back for the french onion soup alone. So salty, cheesy, delicious. That is all.

    I always have a good experience at Locust Rendezvous. The food is priced well and the French Onion Soup a few of my other faves are the patty melt and BLT. Service is decent, but it's typically only one waitress and one bartender. There are plenty of TVs if you like to watch games. My friends and family like to frequent before our shows at the Academy of Music. Typical pub food with a laid back ambiance. Probably not great for large groups since the seating is limited. My only complaint is they have Pepsi rather than Coke, but I don't eliminate stars for that :)

    Came here for some quick bites and to try their French onion soup. Notable apps for me were the Spanish fries, fried cheese balls, and pierogis. The Spanish fries were crispy, and I liked the green salsa. The pierogis were probably my favorite app there. The French onion soup was ok. Broth was good, but my soup had some crunchy onions in it (although none of my other friends' soups did). Our waitress was a tad rude with us when taking our order, but overall we enjoyed our time there.

    I was here last weekend and had a very nice lunch. Bartender was very friendly as were the other folks dining. Total old school cheers vibes here. Food was very good too. I started with the French onion soup which was very filling. My buddy and I came back later on in the night for some wings which were excellent!! My only gripe was the service at night. It was before midnight - decent crowd but nothing overwhelming. Our waitress obviously did not want to be working as she was extremely rude and flat out lazy. Still never got the waters we asked for 3 times. I was about to ask her if she was having a bad night because it was brutal. I will return when I'm back in town because the food and atmosphere were both very good, as was the friendly service I received earlier in the day. My buddy lives locally so he's in there all of the time.

    After my first review I returned TWICE during my stay in Philadelphia. Out west, Philly has a reputation of not exactly being friendly to outsiders. This bar, by itself, destroys that unfair reputation. The bartenders, looking at you Danielle, were great ambassadors for not only the business but the city itself. The drinks are very reasonably priced and the food is LEGIT! I loved the dive bar atmosphere with the friendly neighborhood vibe. Met some of the nicest people there. Kudos "Vous Crew."

    I first went to Locust Rendezvous around 20 years ago. My memory of it was as a mediocre dive bar. My recent visits to "The Vous" have shown me that it is much more than that now. It's a great bar that you can count on for good drinks, fast service, and consistently good food. It doesn't matter how packed the place is. You can count on those three things. With TVs from wall to wall, any sporting event you want to watch will be on one of the TVs. My go-to food has become the turkey reuben. It's a delicious top-tier sandwich in a city full of great sandwiches. My go-to drink is the pomegranate mule, a great take on the moscow mule. I've tried a handful of items from the menu at this point, and everything is good. You can't beat the prices there either. "The Vous" has earned a regular spot in my bar rotation.

    Came with a few friends for dinner on a. Saturday night. I ordered a chicken cheesesteak which was good but could have had more meat. Our server was good. My wine glass had lipstick on it and I had to send it back. The Chardonnay was good, as expected and drinks after that were decent. The nachos were ok but could have made them at home. The price was right and we finished all our food so I guess the place served our needs. Definitely a chill low key vibe for a center city bar or restaurant.

They aren't lying when they say that they have an extensive beer menu! I had a Dancing Gnome Kolsch which was very good and then a Corsendork Christmas Ale which was fantastic! I normally don't like spiced beer, but this one was perfect! My wife and I shared the cheese and salumi plate which was so delicious! My only re is not getting the large! My wife had the crispy chicken sandwich which was really good. The crust was crunchy and the chicken was tender and juicy. I had the porchetta sandwich which was recommended by our waiter and was SO DELICIOUS! It is a must! At first my wife was concerned about the limited menu. They may not have an extensive menu but what they do, they do right! Our waiter was really great and very welcoming, especially as we were from out of town. The place has a rustic vibe which fits with its old town location. We loved it! If we ever find ourselves back in Philly, we will definitely visit Glory again!

    Pretty good overall!…read more Considerably big space for Philly. They had an upstairs too but I am not sure why it wasn't open during majority of the night. When the big crowd from the conference left they opened the upstairs. The Mac and cheese is SO GOOD. Very creamy and rich, the bread crumbs were an amazing surprise edition. This fatty finished it before the beer came. Lots of beer choices. I took off a start be size they were under staffed. So we were just waiting around for the check and the waitress kept forgetting what we asked for. Honestly, not her fault. There were like ~100 people and only 3 employees that I saw. So no designated waiter for tables. These poor 3 employees were the bartenders and the table waiters.

Worth stopping by if you're in the West Village! Food: 4 Drinks: 5 Service: 4 Value: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Food: Surprisingly good. We shared the chicken quesadilla. It was filled to the filled to the brim and delicious. They cooked it perfectly with the edges getting extra crispy like a tortilla chip. I didn't have high expectations for a place thats primarily a bar, but this blew me away all things considered. Drinks: Best taproom in the city. 20+ premium options. They have an awesome selection of beers, including some local options. They have wine and liquor too, but you should focus on the beer. This is the place to go for a good draught. Service: Servers are friendly and down to earth. They're great at suggesting different beers. Value: Not cheap, but not bad. Beers are $8-10 (pretty much market price in the West Village) and food is a decent bargain given how much food you get. Atmosphere: Its a cross between an old school pub and a sports bar. Its dark and 90% male (my wife always comments on how male heavy it is) but I think it has a good vibe. Good beer, good food options, and friendly servers.

It's a very small venue, so be prepared to stand around a bit. That's it, great beers, good vibes, still a great spot!!!
