    An exceptional member of the team at Nick's Roast Beef

    This young man provides phenomenal service. He cooked my food perfectly and treated my family with incredible respect.

    Always a nice atmosphere. Good music and they also have sports on the TV. Roast beef combo is my choice with gravy fries. For an alternative I do the pork combo with broccoli rabe.

    The bartenders John & Jeff are the best always keeping our beer cold and are just great people. The sandwiches are still the best around.

    Delicious sandwiches! Only thing that holds it back from a 5-star rating is its limited selection of beer on tap.

    Best roast beef sandwich I have ever had! It was a bit messy but worth it. I hope to eat here every time I am in the area.

    Great food with cheap beer. Sometimes the atmosphere is of a local dive bar but the food overcomes that.

    Coldest beers in Delco. Roast beef and gravy fries are always solid.

    Dirty Franks is my favorite neighborhood/dive bar in the city. It's a true Philadelphia…read moreinstitution. A recent Philadelphia Inquirer article has definitely upped the popularity of this lowkey spot, so be prepared for a full house on the weekends. The space is small but mighty, adorned with local art and lots of fun quirky decorations. The bartenders are friendly and efficient, but remember to bring cash as this spot is cash only. A true no-frills spot. There's lot of seating, on a week night you'll have no problem grabbing a seat at the bar or a booth, but on the weekends they are packed open to close.

    A true cash only dive bar that was really freaky with an age of 25 to enter. The name Dirty Franks…read moreis absolutely perfect for this abortion. It was more of a playful nostalgic environment rather than a place where I would eat, but for a quick strong cocktail or beer it was a fantastic hang out. There were several of us and the bar was slammed. Loved the Ms Pac-Man arcade game and the Godzilla pinball machine next to the dart board. The gender neutral bathroom was a disaster and loved it. The door had a posted sign as a warning, "One Urinal, One Toilet, One Lock". The walls and ceiling (yes ceiling) was plagued with colorful marker ink and stickers, basically graffiti. Was not sure if I was permitted to add to the decor, but I wanted too so badly. Surprisingly, the sink, urinal, and toilet was so clean that the white porcelain shined against the graffiti. The retro-inspired geometric pattern of white and black hexagons created an inviting tile floor. If you are visiting Philly, you gotta take a peek. Guaranteed this is a stop you wont soon forget.

    A quality neighborhood bar. Saturday at 2 PM and the place is packed with some people not having…read moreseats. Seemed like an early rush for a bar. I don't know of a game going on today. The bartender at the time was particularly very friendly and I could tell he gave off the same vibe to everyone. As I left this bar with a friend, one of the (assumedly) local patrons was telling us we should've purposely nudged a guy seated so that we could more easily leave the bar instead of slowly crossing over. That particular patron looked back at the first guy very annoyed. The first guy was probably already at least semi-drunk and just kept trying to go on with his "joke". Another thing that surprises me is that this bar is closed all day Sunday and that they open at 8 AM according to the Yelp page and stay open until 2 AM. Those are mad hours This coming Sunday, there was a big game with Eagles versus the 49ers. I've never heard of a bar open so early in the morning and not open on Sundays. Not open on Sunday because a lot of regular church-goers in the area, or the staff need a break and maybe they would want to go to church? Reminds me of Chik-Fil-A without the super late hours and instead of family friendly style food and drink and chicken icon, booze instead. There were no smokers when me and my friend were there. I was thankful for that. It looks like PA started to ban smoking in all bars in 2021. Personally, don't miss it! I already have a hard enough time breathing and sleeping without being around that stuff! No food at this establishment. Quality drinks on tap and reasonable prices. Nice staff. From a neighborhood bar, can you ask for anything more?

    This first time I came to West Chester I was hitting the wrong bars. Not saying the other bars are…read morebad, don't get me wrong my love for Ryan's, Saloon and Sprout (which is closed..) will always be in my heart. But the best bar in town is Jakes Bar! open 8am to 2am. great bar for the folks that work the night shift! My favorite part about Jakes Bar is that Dwayne and Derek remembered my choice of drink and shot. I walk in they greet me and before I can pull a $5 out there's a beer and shot on the table in front of me. BOOM! Thank you to all the staff at Jake's Bar!
