They also have HH on Saturdays! Nice perk. What we snagged: -Brussels (Very good. Crispy and well cooked bacon) -Mussels in a white wine sauce. VERY flavorful. We were about 1/3 of the way done and found and long black hair. Not great, but manger came right over and apologized. Took it off the bill and offered for another. We were good with just taking it off the bill. -Black Cod. Best dish of the night. Had a noddle crispy dish on the side. Fish was cooked perfectly. -Lobster Ravioli. Good, but nothing crazy. Snagged a few drinks: Baklava Old Fashion and Espresso Martini. Both amazing. Very well done. Overall, we'd come back for a HH or a quick dinner. Raven was a great server and focused on us all evening. Even before the hair LOL.

The cigar room where you pick out your cigar before you go in is really nice. It's small but full of many options. The man working there was very knowledgeable and helpful in picking out a suitable cigar. As I said I'm not a cigar smoker so I was quite nervous about how strong the smoke smell would be. It's not terrible. The space does seem to have a decent filtration system so it is manageable. In lieu of cigars, I had drinks. The drinks were good. FYI, there is a $25 minimum per person at the bar. The server was very nice and recommended some drinks to me but service is incredibly slow. I mean you place a drink order and it may not come for 10-15 minutes. The space is nice and comfy. Large, lounge chairs and loveseats throughout.

We had a reservation and when we arrived, we were told to head up and the only table was our reserved table. The bartender with blue hair came over, didn't greet us, didn't ask what we wanted to drink, just immediately told us we would have to sit outside because the table we were at was for 6. (We were a party of 2). I explained we had a reservation and she scoffed. So unwelcoming. We got up and left and will not be back.

Basically the top floor of the Iron Abbey with a small bar and seating. I found this part of the…read morebuilding quiet and a nice area to have a drink at the end of the night. The bartenders were really nice. The bottle "cellar" area is full of different styles. I perused the area and if your looking for international beers this is a good place to look. The shelves were stocked with a very wide selection of mostly Belgian, Italian brews with American Micro and German coming in just behind. I've had Spanish brews before, but they actually had in stock six to 10 different Spanish Brews and some Brazilian beer. (Makes sense since a Brazilian Steakhouse is connected to the building) The prices were fair and they even had some exclusive Iron Abbey collab beers with local breweries. It's out of the way for me bottle shop wise, but if I do stop by the area I'll of course check out their stock. I found a couple of nice hard to find Imperial Stout's that now have a nice home. A nice addition to the building.

This place has a cute little speakeasy feel and the cocktails are truly legit.

The food is decent too, though in my opinion this is definitely more of a drinks only type spot if I'm going out. Worth checking out for sure.

And it's a little hard to see because of the dim lighting. It can get pretty loud and there's not much sound dampening, making it hard to hear each other sometimes. However, if you're just vibing and chilling, it's perfect. Though the brewery doesn't sell food, you can pick up something to eat right next door at the market. It's also where the bathrooms are located. Solid draught beers -- I'd recommend them over the cocktails. Enjoy!

Great local brewery tucked inside the new Ridge Hall Market…read more Twisted Ginger Brewery is a hidden gem right off Butler Pike in Ambler, sharing a building with the new Ridge Hall Farmers Market. Parking can be tight on the street, but there are municipal lots nearby that make things easy. They usually have around ten beers on tap, a solid mix of styles that changes often enough to keep things interesting. There are a few TVs, and during slower weekday hours they keep things cozy by only opening the bar area. On weekends, when the place fills up, they expand seating into the section by their brewing area. If you're just grabbing beer to go, they sell four-packs of their own brews. For food, you can either take your beer into the market's food court or bring your meal back into the brewery. Both setups work fine depending on what kind of night you're after. If you are not a beer person, fortunately there are Stateside seltzers, and Surfside hard iced teas available. A relaxed local spot with good beer, friendly people, and a nice addition to Ambler's growing brewery scene.

Finding your way upstairs adds to the speakeasy-style charm. The reception area alone sets the vibe: playful, stylish, and full of photo-worthy moments before you even sit down. It feels like you've discovered something not everyone knows about. We went with the small plate prix fixe menu (three courses), and each dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and -- most importantly -- delicious. Every course left us wanting just a little more, which is exactly how a tasting-style experience should feel. Nothing felt rushed, and the pacing of the food was on point. Cocktails were also excellent, creative, well-balanced, and fitting for the ambiance. The only hiccup of the night was drink service being a bit slow. Not a dealbreaker by any means, but noticeable. Overall, a great Restaurant Week experience in a space that feels both intimate and fun. I'll absolutely be back to explore the full menu soon.

Mixed review about this place…read more The good: the decor is beautiful. Very classy with excellent design, and kudos to good branding. The mediocre: we split a Caesar salad as a starter. The dressing had too much of a mayonnaise base for me. Usually anchovies are mashed into the dressing, and not left whole on top of the salad. This one came with way too many whole anchovies on top. It's not something I would order again. The excellent: my dining partner had the Miso Striped Bass entrée. He loved it. The glaze on the fish was delicious and the striped bass was cooked perfectly. His side of charred broccolini, or broccoli rabe, not sure which, had a wonderful wasabi sauce on it. He absolutely adored the dish and would get it again. The poor: I had the Hot Honey Salmon. It came with charred brussels sprouts that were undercooked, and the inside was not cooked enough. Same with the salmon. It was raw in the middle. I told the waiter and asked that both be cooked a little more. They chose to bring me another piece of salmon. While the edges were cooked more, again the middle of the salmon was raw. Not underdone. Raw. Twice. Brussels sprouts came back and were better. There were a lot of good menu choices, and I would go back again to try something else. Apparently salmon is not their forte, so I would never get that again. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was relaxing, especially sitting in the outer area with the retractable awning. It was a gorgeous night, so nice to be able to sit outside.
