Like literally when we walked in someone was on a mic encouraging others to sing Mario "You Should Let Me Love You" and then went on to more early 00s jams. Inviting to all, but very much a safe space for Blackness. It was what I would hope from Philly's first Black brewery. The food system was pretty cool. No Liberty Kitchen that night, but we ordered through an app and were notified when our food serviced from Corio was ready. They leave it on tray for you to pickup. The cocktail I had was very good and the bartender was friendly. The comedy show was 'eh,' I'll give it a pass. Some were funnier than others, and you could tell a few were still working on their craft. Comedy is hard. Overall, I'm excited for all their offerings like their tours, nearby beer garden and themed events.

Hands down my pick for the best brewery in West Philly, and that's well deserved for Philadelphia's…read morefirst black owned brewery! The first thing that stands out to me about Two Locals is the huge space with all kinds of amenities. Whether its a seat at the bar, grabbing a seat by a barrel, or grabbing a table for a group of any size; it has the perfect seating arrangement for you. While the brewery side only serves libations the space also features the Landing Kitchen serving all kinds of damn good food. Another plus is the huge variety of games that they have to play, including an ice breakers questions game that made for a good second date activity. The service at Two Locals is great and filled with bartenders who provide good brew suggestions. And I love that Two Locals is a brewery that goes beyond pouring IPAs while also pouring some damn good ones.. Favorite beers of mine from here include the Nubian brown ale, the Gaspar dark Mexican lager, the Riots smoked rauchbier, and the Foway farmhouse saison. For events outside of beer Two Locals features events like a comedy showcase, movie screenings, gospel karaoke, and then some. And starting in Apirl 3rd they'll also be partnering with UCity Square to have a pop-up beer garden in The Lawn.

We tried to go to the brewery next door, but they were super busy and we stood by the door for…read morealmost 5 minutes without even being acknowledged by any staff members, so we left. Since all we wanted was beer, we went around the corner to The Cannery. Drafts were about $6, which was decently priced and all the beers we tried were very tasty. I went with the Jib the Blood, a blood orange Berliner which was perfect for the warm, sunny day. My cousin tried the double IPA and loved it. For our second round, I opted for the Russian Imperial, which I was really impressed by. It didn't have that typical cloying bitterness of some imperial stouts, and I found it super easy to drink (although be warned it comes in a really tiny glass since it's such a high ABV). My cousin got their normal IPA and was very happy. They have some food on the menu, and since my cousin is a vegan, she was super pumped for the pretzels with vegan cheese. We were expecting soft pretzels, but these are more like regular hard pretzel twists you get at the grocery store. They were also extremely oversalted, so we had to scrape a lot of the salt off before eating them. The vegan cheese sauce was on the cold side, and was ok, but nothing mind blowing. The bathroom was super clean and spacious, and the space inside the brewery was comfortable and trendy. They also looked like they had liquor, so they could make mixed drinks as well, but we opted to stick with beer. For food, I'd give them closer to 2 stars for what you get vs the price, but for beer and atmosphere, they're definitely 5 stars.

Things I like: -…read moreBeer - Beer cocktails - Cocktails - Hybrid open air seating - Not super effing busy - Wood paneling - Random kitsch - Ninjas - Vinyl tunes that run the gamut from 80s to 2010s homage to the 80s Dock Street Cannery has a lot of these things. I won't say which ones, but I think you know what doesn't belong. That's right. Hybrid open air seating. What does that even mean? To get back to my point, this is a low-key place you can bring a friend, a date, two friends and a date, an awkward date because of your two friends, a fun drunken time with two friends, and then move it across the street to the Barn because you're a total pro. Seriously. This is a very nice spot to chill, listen to some tunes, catch up, and drink a few beers and related cocktails. And, because Dock Street loves you, they also have four and six packs of tall boy and regular boy cans for takeout, at very competitive per oz prices. Keep on doing your ninja thing, Dock Street Cannery.

A group of us decided to stop in one day for lunch after service, and I thought it was great overall. Great ambiance inside, similar to other spots in the area.

I would go back to try something else, perhaps another brunch item.

She gave us great recs too! The Persian Garden was great. I'm not a big fan of ordering coffee/espresso/lattes but the rose flavor was something I didn't expect to like. The baba ganouj and beetroot tzatziki were both hits for the family. The baba ganouj had the smoky flavor I was looking for and the tzatziki was fresh and light. The pita was thick, soft, and warm, perfect for dipping. The kofta, tuna tartare, and crispy grape leaves weren't too bad. The kofta is quite large and the lamb didn't taste too gamey at all. The arugula and tahini really brightened the flatbread. I enjoyed the tuna tartare but I was looking for more of the tuna flavor. As for the crispy grape leaves, it was a bit like an eggroll but mushy inside. I wasn't the biggest fan of this and tzatziki dipping sauce but that's just me. Finally, the chicken mohammar and grilled kofta were both great! We enjoyed the chicken mohammar much more though. The sauce was smoky and savor while the chicken was extremely tender. The pita was perfect to encapsulate the chicken and soak up the sauce! As for the grilled kofta, we did like the wild rice and lamb. The arugula and onion went great with the lamb. It was a great introduction to mediterranean food for my parents! I'm glad we came here and I'd consider coming back!
