    What an awesome place!! I actually found PBBC when I was looking for another yoga class and I saw that they had a Saturday class here. I didn't have time to get to this class but I made a mental note that I wanted to come here if I was ever in the area. This weekend we had a dinner near by so I made it a point to come here. I had the currant sour and my boyfriend had the Octoberfest (I think). We both loved our drinks and we loved the vibe here. If I lived closer I would come all the time. They have a nice size tv and they even put the Penn State fb game on when the people (including me) wanted to watch. I left w a 4 pack of the blueberry sour bc I love all the blueberry everythings in the world. Haven't tried it yet but I'm confident if it is anywhere as good as the currant I will be happy.

    My go to Brewery but this year they now have space to reserve for work holiday parties so I'm trying that out. I was complaining how hard it is to find private party space in Philly and then they told me they rent out a room at their American street location. So far the process is really good, my coworkers are excited.

    Stopped in on a Friday night in February for some end of the week beers. There was a Girl Scout cooking pairing! The vibe is fun and relaxed. - Trefoils paired with Tour De Buggy French Saison - Lemonades paired with Beetle Juice Hazy IPA - Toast-ays paired with American Street Cream Ale - Thin Mints paired with Vroom!

    Went for a quick bite and a good beer, ended up with a whole outdoor performance! So much fun and great vibes always. I especially love the cornhole games set up, when the weather is nice this is a great place to come with friends. Excellent service & incredible food from Happy Bites as well!

    Awesome little bar with plenty of beers on tap and solid food options. I will emphasis it is little - there are only a handful of seats inside. Luckily, they have a nice bit of outdoor seating, which is clutch when the weather agrees. Regarding drinks, I am a cider/sour type guy and love how they usually have at least one of each on tap. They don't kill you on prices either. If you aren't sure what you might want, the staff will help and small samples are available as well. Food wise, I have not yet eaten here. However, I've seen enough to realize I probably sure. The stuff looks amazing. Also worth noting they can do their menu with jackfruit instead of meats if you'd like to go that way. Either way, quality is certainly a focus.

    A small but mighty brewery with food by Happy Bites! Beers are great but a little limited, but the food is great! They are sliders (but really in bun size only!) everything is reasonably priced and comes out quick and with a smile. Will be back.

    It's a shame when I lived over this way I never stopped it. It's a super cool spot with a cafe next door. So they hosted a little outdoor market last night with a bunch of local art, food, and live music. Things like this is why I love nice weather. It's always great to have "free" events. I put that in quotes because I always end up spending money! That's my fault though. What stands out most here is their pickles. You're all like what?!? Ok when you check out look to your left. Their is a little fridge full of jars of pickles. We go the habanero ones and they are some of the most delicious pickles I've ever had. Now they are very spicy so I can't down more than one without some dairy but if you wrap one of these suckers in a creamy slice of American cheese!!! Maybe Boarshead..... Oh my wife and friend had their beer and really enjoyed it. He got the milkshake flavor and was like WOW. As a washed up designer I love their logo. Whatever that's worth to ya.

    Small little brewery in an ok part of town. The beer tender was friendly and searched for stickers for me and brought them over. They had someone there making pasta dishes, Pasta Boy, I think his name was. Didn't try the food but looked pretty decent. We had a beer and moved on to the next place. I would check it our again if in the area.

    Yeah absolutely love this spot. Our bartender was amazing, super cute and funny. We must have had 5 beers a piece while shooting the shit with Olivia. Food was great too. Now it's not sold by PBBC but there is a small spot behind the bar that made some dope sliders that I was drooling over. This spot is down the block from my school. I may have to frequent it more often.

    Hole in the wall spot in Fishtown. Stopped for quick beers. My husband got the peanut butter brown ale on nitro (Downtown PB) and I got the puffy milk stout with Cocoa Puffs. Mine was very smooth and I preferred it. Liked the low key vibes and outdoor seating.

    This was our 4th Brewery that we came too and I wasn't too big of a fan of the beer that we ordered. My mom ordered a glass of the Stone & Key Pinot Grigio. Street parking available nearby. It was a cute decor and I enjoyed the ambiance. I would have liked to try the hot dogs or the grilled cheese as both sounded good. We ordered the Coffee Porter Nitro ES Cafe Coffee Blend. He opened the wine [did not cut the seal and just opened through the seal] bit it was not cold at all even though 2 ice cubes were added. It was not very enjoyable. The Porter had a strong coffee aftertaste but was quite heavy. I didn't enjoy it too much as it was a little on the bitter side, similar to a dark roast coffee. I did try a little bit of the Strawberry cider which I liked and it had a good sweetness.

    My fiancé and I went to Punch Buggy one afternoon and we did not care for it at all. First, I would definitely consider it smaller than a microbrewery and we understand that it is a smaller facility but they barely had any of the options available, everything had ran out... and it was like 1 PM on a Saturday so we were a little disappointed in that. We would have loved to try the flavors that everyone mentioned like the Pumpkin Pie and French Toast Stout, they didn't seem to have any cool flavors other than some sour beer when we went. We loved the small outdoors atmosphere, which was set up more for like 2 people rather than larger groups and they had a couple of games on the side you could play. During our time here we had some weird customer service so we almost rushed finishing up our beers because of the guy helping us, and I didn't even get the chance to get his name because it was horrible. Overall, I would definitely like to see some different flavors and better customer service.

    My husband and I randomly stopped in here for lunch on our walk from center city to the art museum…read more What a great stop!! From the outside you can't tell that it has a fun tropical/tiki vibe going on. Maybe it was just for summer, but it was really fun! The servers and bartenders were all in tropical shirts, and there were other tiki touches without going full-blown Tiki Bar. The bathrooms were interesting. All the stalls are unisex, single stall, and then the sink is a big trough outside all the stalls. Unconventional, but it works. We both ordered beers - we had the Summer Love and the Philly First. Both were really good! We shared them so we could both enjoy some of each. To eat, my husband ordered a chicken Caesar wrap with fries, and I had the spicy Buddha bowl. Chicken Caesar wrap was good (hard to screw that up), and we both thought the fries were pretty good. Not the best I've ever had or anything, but good, enjoyable fries. The Buddha bowl, however, was outstanding! Cilantro rice, edamame, carrots, red cabbage, broccolini, and I added chicken for protein. It was the perfect level of spice, and a really nice balance of veggies to rice to protein. 10/10, would order again! I'm probably going to end up trying to recreate it at home. The only note I have for it (and it's super minor) is that it could maybe have a sweet or tart note added. Mandarin oranges, mango, pineapple... something like that. I would absolutely recommend stopping here! Next time we're in town I will go out of my way to go again.

It's enormous with a lot of different seating options, including booths, couches, bar seats, and a nice outdoor stool area. The music was LIT, a most random choice of 2000s emo.

A friend of mine lives in Fishtown and says this is his go-to spot it the HR closer to him so we walked in with high expectations. We knew their beer selection from looking online, but they were happy to break it down and answer any questions. My coworker and I both enjoyed a Rangi New Zealand Pilsner (but we saw our other colleagues enjoying a variety of other drinks). It's located in a sort of office building that makes it a little tricky to find, but there is a nice outside patio where you can see the Schuykill River (we saw lightening too haha). We'll definitely be back and recommend folks to check this spot out as well!

And coated fries aren't even my favorite type of fry! The space is beautiful and great for groups too. I feel like it kind of honors the feel of the warehouse neighborhood it sits in. There's lots of preserved details and, aside from the steel stools and chairs you see in every farmhouse style bar, the structure itself makes it feel like the brewery could have been there for 50 years. Nothing else to say, really, except for that when it's 100 degrees outside the inside can get warm. Nothing a few cold beers can't fix.

The location is excellent; you're right across from Brooklyn Bowl, around the corner from the Barcade, and just a few steps from the Fillmore. Other Half has a large beer selection--but I think it's important to note that most of these are of the hazy variety, and very few with an alcohol percentage below six. For most beer enthusiasts this is probably fine, but I had difficulty locating a beer that was a little lighter and more my speed (on my first and only other visit, they did have a can of something closer to my normal choice, but that wasn't on the menu this time around).
