    Chicken pesto gnocchi
    Janet C.

    Casual spot, good for groups. Staff was attentive and stopped by multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed. I tried the white sangria and chicken pesto gnocchi. The gnocchi was pretty good and flavorful - though a bit on the salty side. They have outdoor seating and there was a live musician which was fun.

    Great little bar! Walk in your greeted with the bar and this night there was live music playing. Continue past the bar into a small dining room which leads to another dining room. Awesome service, super friendly and fun. This night we just hit the place for drinks and apps. Large beer list, and a lot of moonshine infused cocktails. The moonshine orangesickle was amazing. They also had some moonshine barbecue wings which were delicious as well as the brussel sprouts and the calamari. Other food we saw going out looked really good as well.

    Good food. Recommend off the specials we got fish tacos and tortilla chicken soup. Fish tacos were great. Also got some fries and they were HOT. and delicious. Tortilla soup was not hit though. Barely warm don't know what happened. But it was really good so I ate it super fast. I also got the manhattan jack Daniel's special. I was warned they don't make good manhattans and that was quite true. To me it tasted like a dirty sock and watered down. lol but once I drank half of it the liquor kicked in and I stopped caring so much. But I normally make it at home with an American rye whiskey like bulleit and sweet red vermouth and bitters, which I was not getting notes of vermouth at all in this manhattan and whiskey wasn't strong. Anywho I still really like coming here and catching some live music too

    Outdoor dog friendly

    One of my to go place for drinks and brunch previously but recently has been one of my favorite place to go for spring, summer and early fall because they are dog friendly outside. Might be too cold for late fall and winter for outdoor. Drinks are always delicious and strong -- I've had just classic amaretto sour, margaritas and mimosa to their menu drinks item the blackberry lemonade, watermelon margarita and state of mine. The food hasn't disappointed me yet. I've had the chicken & waffle, burgers, the omelette and probably more things that I can't remember but everything has been good and reasonably priced. I've always mostly good service as well. When I have my dog, we are offered water which is never necessary but awesome. Will be back soon.

    Crispy Chicken Sandwich and Fries

    Staying at a friend's place and this was in the area. Glad we stopped by! Mozzarella sticks were pretty good and the sandwich was delicious. Fries were good too! Cute little space and nice staff. I'd definitely go again!

    Moonshine has the best food in South Philly hands down. The staff are super kind, and the drinks are themed to perfection. Highly recommend!

    I was just passing by and hungry so I get an order to go, tried thier crab cake sliders and it was delicious! Definitely would be back again for it. Looks like a chill neighborhood bar! And they have outdoor seating as well if that's what you prefer!

    Mozzarella sticks
    Shanel S.

    You must go. In SoPhilly and they have parking!! Totally unassuming corner place, bigger inside than you think. Def neighborhood bar but an amazing menu so so many things to choose from to please all palates. Ask about specials they are a winner, solid drinks too. Oh I'm telling everyone about them. Knowledgeable servers who have pretty much eaten everything there because they been with them for some time. And they have a few tvs with sports on for ya too. Go go now. You won't be disappointed. And the wings crispy, fries perfect and the chicken picatta ravioli.... Oooohhh weeee. They keep it crispy under the sauce, ravioli perfectly cooked. Fresh mozzarella sticks and the creamy balsamic on the salad--- yum!!

    Bloody Mary & a Orange Mooncicle
    Holly G.

    Checking out what could possibly be our new neighborhood and wanted to try Moonshine for quite a while. Luckily it was a nice breezy summer day. Not scorching hot & humid. Not a fan of outside seating but it was such a nice day we opted to soak up the atmosphere. So nice to see all types of families with children, pups and each enjoying the their day. Started with a couple of Cocktails - they had me at $5 Bloody Mary's- and an Orange Mooncicle (highly recommended!) Brunch was Chicken & waffles and a chicken Sammie. Both cooked to perfection. Ample portions & a nice honey glaze on the chicken. The star of the day was the staff. All were kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. It really will be what brings us back including a turn at the jukebox & the expansive dinner menu. Fat chik review: 4 double chins )))) - good armless seating, table to thigh ratio & didn't have to ask. (In case you are new to my feed 4 double chins is a 5* equivalent) We'll be back and perhaps dragging some folks with us.

    First time in Pennsport area and brought our two kids and sat outside for lunch. Nice little corner spot with friendly and fast service. Good food and good drink selection too.

    Calamari, loaded fries.

    I had their burger with a side salad. It was fine and the waitress was friendly. The meal did not inspire me to become a repeat customer.

    I must have driven past this venue 100's of times and never really took notice. It wasn't until I…read morewas out with the family that someone suggested going to The Pub. I learned later that this restaurant has been around since the early to mid 1900's. Plenty of parking in a large open lot. The place is very large and has one of the longest bars I've seen. The wood is very dark and you can see the chefs cooking over the hearth. They don't take reservations and won't see you until your entire party is there. One of the things I liked for our party of 10 was they had no problems with seating as they also have many large round tables. For mixed drinks, they make them pretty big and potent. For my martini, they sent back an extra glass. They also had great bleu cheese stuffed olives. We ordered onion rings (8 large to an order) and fried zucchini. The onion ring I had was pretty good. I didn't have the fried zucchini but heard it was also pretty good. Other than the light fare items, all dinners come with their salad bar which has both iceberg lettuce and Caesar Salad along with many fixings as well as cheeses and bread. I had the Baked Seafood Platter which came with scallops, shrimp, Clam Casino (without the shell), Maryland crab cake and a small lobster tail for $49.99. My wife had the baked chicken breast which she said was quite dry. The dining area is quite large and reminds me of the restaurants at a casino. Some in our group said it reminds them of Medieval Times due to the dark wood vibe. While I thought it was a bit pricey, I would still come back and try their signature steaks or prime rib.

The salad bar is classic: Caesar salad, iceberg, blue cheese, bacon bits, etc. Meet family here for a fancy night out, and it was a blast. Service was good. Portions are generous, so be prepared for leftovers. We had steak and eggs for breakfast the next day. Big steaks, big baked potatoes, unlimited salad. Come hungry. Good to know: It is a splurge. Also, they won't stay you until the entire party is there. We waited at the bar for everyone to arrive, where one cocktail was more than enough for me. You definitely get your money's worth, and you should not drive afterward. (I did not.)

    This is hands-down my favorite bar in Philly! Every time I'm in town, I make it a point to stop by…read more If you're a fan of Belgian beer or rare brews that are almost impossible to find elsewhere, this place is heaven on earth. The first thing I did was head straight for my favorite, Cantillon from Belgium. This visit, I tried their Kriek LG, a fruited lambic made by adding sour cherries to a two-year-old aged lambic. All I can say is... WOW! Tart, complex, refreshing, and dangerously drinkable. If beer could win an Academy Award, this one would be giving an acceptance speech. Now, let's talk food. I ordered the Thai Curry Mussels, and they were absolutely outstanding. The broth was packed with flavor, and the mussels were cooked perfectly. They easily rank in the top five mussel dishes I've ever had, and I've done my research! Pro tip: Don't make the rookie mistake of eating all the bread first. Save some for the end so you can soak up every last drop of that incredible curry broth at the bottom of the bowl. Trust me, you'll thank me later. The service is always excellent. John usually takes care of us in the back, and he consistently makes the experience even better with great recommendations and friendly service. In side is cozy and friendly! If you live in Philly and haven't been here yet, what are you waiting for? Great beer, amazing food, and outstanding service--this place checks every box. Just be warned: one visit and you'll be planning your next trip back before you even leave.

And it was walking distance from my hotel. Indeed their beer selection was impressive and carried Belgian Tripels, ales and IPAs and the elusive Pliney the Elder on tap at $8.50 a pint. I also learned their food menu boasts some well known choices. However, on this lunch visit the grill was out of service; no burgers, steaks, etc. I pivoted to their popular steamed mussels. A sizable pot of plump mussels in their black shells swimming in their liquor and considerable diced garlic and chopped fresh parsley. Delicious. The meal was accompanied by pommes frites and small slices of baguette for sopping. A chilled pint of Elder finished the monk's testament to excellence. Take a break from the cheesesteak and commit to the Monk. Well worth it.

A quick note for first-time visitors: the restaurant has multiple entrances, and I initially arrived at the back door. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful in directing me to the correct entrance. The space has a unique atmosphere. The indoor dining area felt quite dark, but the restaurant appears to have multiple levels, including an upstairs dining area and a bar, which adds to its charm. I started with a cocktail and really enjoyed it. It was fruity, well-balanced, and had just the right amount of alcohol without being overpowering. Based on recommendations, I ordered the burger. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me. It could have been cooked better, and overall I wasn't particularly impressed with it. What stood out most was the service. My server was attentive, friendly, and checked in regularly without being intrusive. Overall, The Dandelion offers a pleasant atmosphere, excellent service, and great cocktails. While the burger wasn't a standout for me, I'd be willing to return and try other menu items.
