    Good food,nice ambiance,service was on point.my wife and i had the lamb platter and highly recommendread more

    Full disclosure: I first learned about Alamodak from a Yelp Elite Squad event (thank you to our CM…read moreMegan C!), and apparently I'm more recognizable than I thought. Shortly after we arrived Francisco recognized me and greeted me like an old friend, which was really lovely, but also. my cover is blown. I don't advertise that I'm a Yelp reviewer because I want to avoid getting a different experience. SO The food was fabulous. I took a couple of my friends from out of town there for dinner one night. Well, one is from Pennsauken so I don't think that's super out of town. My other friend was from western Massachusetts. We ordered: Freshly Squeezed Lemonade with mint - very refreshing, not cloyingly sweet. Labneh with zatar and pomegranates. We almost licked the plate clean. This was a huge huge hit. Harira soup, also a huge hit. One of us got the lentil soup instead, which was also good, but the Harira was the star. We got a family sampler of hummus, baba ghanoug, tabbouleh, one other thing. It was very good, we were already starting to get full. Uh oh. Then to the entrees. One of us got the Tomato Kufta, the other got the Kufta with Tahini so we could compare. Both were great, I liked the tomato kufta slightly better. I can't remember what the third entree was, my guest was already so full he basically took it home, and told me later how it was good even a day later. Lastly, mint tea, Jordanian style, with a little jar of honey, and then baklava, which was great, not too sweet, crunchy and soft, just yum. Service was great, please see disclosure above, though. I doubt anyone else's experience would be different. The restaurant was warm and inviting in its' decor. We didn't go upstairs to the hookah lounge. Don't let the exterior fool you, inside it's comfy and welcoming. Parking...it's PHILLY. Street. If you can't parallel park your car in a spot 8" longer than it, take Uber, people. If I, who despises driving to the city, particularly sections that were built before cars existed, will do this, then you know it's a good place to eat. Also, I can get my car in a parallel spot 8" longer than my car. I am, after all, still a Philly girl, living in the 'burbs.

    the night was fine until the bartender got my order wrong. She had a bad attitude so I threw it…read moreback nothing more. Guard was next to me entire time as I was just saying it was an honest mistake. He then inappropriately grabbed me twisted my arms in a way where his hands were on my breast.He then pushed me closer to him as I was face forward tried to lift me up and told me he had me heels in his car. I pushed him off of me. Asked for my money back manager came gave me my money he then tried to grab me again. I was not hostile and excessive force and unwanted touch was not necessary. That security guard is a perv. They way he grabbed me was uncalled for and to push me up against him was not to calm the situation. It felt sexual. To then have my property in his car. Screams perv. Ladies beware. Bartender needs to be fired as I was not the only one she was unprofessional with. Philly #1 rape bar.

    Pretty decent sports bar atmosphere. Good crowd for a weekday. Payout on video poker plus a newer…read moregame machine at the actual bar. Digital jukebox. They used to have a kitchen, but, may have it up and running again soon. Until then, you're more than welcome to get takeout/delivery from nearby and have it brought to the bar. Can't comment on drink prices as I didn't get my own, but, they didn't seem expensive. Jeanette, a bartender, is also great as well.

Find Brazil's at the west end of Chestnut, just before the highway. Ample street parking nearby but watch out for cobblestones which will shake loose any hardware on your car that had a doubt. Up the stairs and $7 door for Wednesday lessons. So much fun! Most importantly, don't close your thumbs on your partner. Keep it loose and light. Long garment rack with hangars for your heavy coat. It gets hot in here, so keep it layered. Nearby bar on the other side of the room keeps your spirits up. Water and paper towels station in the corner keeps you hydrated and not dripping sweat. Massive woofer boxes at the corners keep it thumping and energy high. You can't help but smile and enjoy! See you Wednesday!!

    My understanding is that this is one of Philly's Latin dance hotspots. I've only been once, so I…read morewon't judge it too harshly, but I was pretty disappointed. Problematically for a dance club, the floor (at least upstairs, where the dancing was on this night) isn't level at all, sloping somewhat toward the street. Also, the bouncer was a little aggressive. In terms of the dancing itself, the level was quite low and there was a 2:1 leader-to-follower ratio (but again, that might not be the norm). I didn't stay long.
