First impression, The Union Tap is a locals bar. We walked into a mix of Union guys, neighborhood folk and loud regulars watching sports on the TV's all around the bar. We were on a break from a nearby tournament so we stopped in on a Saturday for a quick lunch. The bar was crowded and the staff was busy. The woman who was working the tables was very friendly and prompt with our drinks. The kitchen took a little longer, but the food was good. I would say it's ok to take teenage kids, but I'd probably skip bringing younger ones. There was plenty of loud cursing going on by the regulars with no apologies, so if your thick skinned you'll be fine! The food menu is pretty extensive with a great variety of choices. I had to try out the Nashville Sliders - decent sized sliders, not bad if you're looking for a medium sized portion. Chicken was good, could have been spicier. My kid had a chicken parm that was a huge portion. We ended up taking the other half home. The chicken was fresh, (had to be breaded in-house), good roll and there was a good mix of cheese and tangy sauce. I had a fresh IPA by 2SP in Delco that went well with the sliders. The tap list had one or two craft selections. Good bar food and looks like a solid bar in the area. Thanks guys! read more

Pros: Love the Tap - great bartenders, good food, lots of drink options Cons: Why is everyone always shouting? Why is Fox News propaganda playing in the background? Lots of loud ding dongs but about what you'd expect for this area. Meh. read more

I've been enjoying union tap for many years now. However I have been very disappointed the past 3-4 times I have received my pickup order from here. I get the southwest chicken wrap and it's sooo yummy when it's made right. I get avocado and ranch on the side, my avocado was hard. There was no corn salsa on it. I have been utterly disappointed lately with their mistakes. I cannot say that union tap is a bad establishment as that is untrue. I will say that the taste and potential of this place is great. However orders should have more attention. I will be giving this establishment one last shot but if I am to be disappointed yet again I will no longer be a customer here. Side note: is there a dedicated spot to receive a pickup order I tend to have to wait for a while before getting service. No hate and all love for this place!! read more

The Union Tap - Southwest chicken wrap - Beer Bar Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Hubs has been trying to get me here for as long as I can remember and today was the day. I am not disappointed. We came for lunch to avoid the drinking crowd. The food was well prepared and tasty. House made chips, always a bonus in my opinion. Friendly service and an enjoyable lunch. read more

This place is one of the better bar food establishments that I have been to in awhile.... I was tipped off to this place about 5 years ago for its food. I have to say that this was one recommendation that did not disappoint... My first visit, I remember having an incredible tasting burger, soup, and wings.... This visit, I went back to ordering wings and blackened shrimp tacos. The wings were huge and cooked just right. There were at least 8 sauces to choose from... The shrimp tacos were made in a way that should be standard for everyplace attempting to serve this dish. There were plenty of jumbo shrimp, seasoned well, and not over cooked. I can't explain just how satisfied I was with this dish. Ordering this at other places is a gamble and usually disappointing. The menu is pretty large, creative, and with something for everybody. Nice atmosphere, great and friendly bartenders, and plenty of TVs to watch. Pretty memorable spot. read more

We ordered in tonight, thought we'd try a different place and have some quesedillas. I've heard and seen Union Tap mentioned a lot, haven't tried them before. Hate those stupid cliches, a hidden gem, etc, so ill just come right out and say these were the absolute best quesedillas we've ever had, yes, for real. Plenty of food, chicken was delicious, it had caramelized onions, roasted peppers, the chicken was $3.50 extra. At $12.50 per/quesedilla, it was well worth it. Have lunch for tomorrow too! We definitely WILL order from and eat there again! read more

I haven't tried much of the menu but what I did have was good. Drinks are cool I'm not aware of any happy hour specials or anything. My only issue is I've came on different occasions and I ordered a Jameson and Ginger and the taste was Off. Taste like instead of gingerale theu used sierra mist which isn't good read more

We ordered from this place last night and I won't be ordering again. BLT burger- the burger was very large and had a hefty portion of avocado which was good but the burger itself was dry and kind of lacked flavor it seemed like more quantity over quality in that aspect. Definitely overpriced. Crab soup- the flavor was good but I ate half of a cup of this soup and I found 5 crab shell fragments. Honestly this soup felt more like a dip than a soup it was so thick, cheesy and greasy Loaded tater tots with crab- once again the flavor was very good but I found even more crab shell fragments all over the food which is just unacceptable for the price. Not to mention the crab obviously comes out of a can which I don't discriminate against canned food but they shouldn't be up charging the amount they are for canned crab especially when it's full of shell fragments. I shared this with my toddler before I found a shell fragment in my portion and had to take them away from her out of fear of her choking or worse. Chicken tenders- honestly very plain and dry and overpriced. read more

This place is around the corner from me, so we decided to go Thanksgiving eve, with another couple. We got there around 7. They were still kind of empty considering most people got out of work early. We were able to get a nice big table in the back. They did have draft beer specials that night, but I stuck to my "captain and diet" they were some pretty strong drinks! I'm not complaining The food was average, we split fries, pizza & mac n cheese. They also have various sandwiches and burgers. By 9pm the younger kids ( just turned 21 ) crowd came in and we decided to go. Just because it was really crowded. They do quizzo on Thursday nights, but beware there is a team that brings the quizzo trophy they won. They take it very seriously. If you're like me I do just for fun not necessarily to win. read more

We ordered to go as there the lockdown. The wings were big and meaty they could have been cooked a wee bit longer. Wing sauce was good but I asked for a side of hot and they didn't include it. We also had Mac & cheese with BBQ pork and was tasty. read more

Three stars, but I'll be going back... I had wings and a burger. Wings were crispy and dressed with just enough sauce. Definitely coming back for those. The hubby and I had sweet garlic and hot. I had the big blu mushroom burger. I ordered medium and it came out well, but not murdered. Not a huge deal. It tasted good. But why three stars? Cold. Dry. Bun. If you order a burger, please be so bold and get it warmed up or toasted. Union tap has a great laid back atmosphere and daily specials. Worth checking out. read more

I stopped here last night with my bf and a group of friends. It was crowded for St. Paddy's celebrations but the atmosphere was fun. We ordered food and everything we ate was amazing. The tater tots were crispy and fresh, the pretzel bites and cheese dips were amazing. We ordered a pizza too and it's probably one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten. The crust was thin and crispy and they definitely did not skimp on the cheese! I am already craving to eat it again. Our waitress was super busy but attentive and sweet. When our bill came we were pleasantly surprised to see that it wasn't that expensive. I live down the street from Union Tap so I will definitely be back soon for that pizza! read more

A good place offering veg and non veg options. The staff is friendly and approachable

Just ordered via Uber Eats and they screwed up 2 items from my order. I ordered the Union tap shrimp and i asked for breaded shrimp; they sent me steamed shrimp. Horrible. I ordered union wings and asked for bbq sauce. They sent me spicy buffalo which i can not eat. Horrible. Does anyone here read the orders via Uber Eats or are they blind? The only thing that tasted good were the fries. Sad. I sent my incorrect items back to Uber for a refund. Never again will i order from here. Be warned. read more

Tried The Union Tap on a Monday night. They have a 50¢ wings special from 8-11pm. Got there around 6:30 with a couple buddies. Ordered some craft beers & the Pig Mac. I heard the pig mac won the people's choice so I had to try it. Beers were average price for crafts. $5-$8. They had bud light on special for $2.50. Bartenders were attentive, friendly and very talkative. Knew menu well & gave good recommendations. Pig Mac was delicious. It was a bigger burger but I had no trouble finishing it. The bacon was good and BBQ sauce was really tasty. The fried Mac n cheese topping was different. A little crispy. Burger was cooked how I wanted it, medium well. Fries were good not great. My buddy's got fries with the dry rub and they seemed better than the plain ones. Tried 4 different wing sauces. Grant's Hot. Garlic Parm. Sweet & Spicy. Habanero Hell. Grant's hot was the best. Typical buffalo sauce but had nice twang to it. Not real hot though. Wasn't a big fan of the garlic. Sweet & spicy was good. Habanero didn't seem that hot at first but it creeps up on you. My friend said his lips were burning. They were hot but not overly painful. Only issue the ice ledge was melted due to the heat wave. I didn't use the bathroom but my buddy said it was clean & he loved the smell of the soap. I will definitely return soon as I'm local to the neighborhood. read more

The Union Tap is one of the better Northeast Philly bar and restaurants. It's off the BLVD in the former location of Paddywhacks for all you NE people. The beer selection alone is worth visiting The Union Tap, they have dozens of beers on tap and they constantly rotating them for new releases. But the food menu is why I return time after time after time. The Tap fries come in several flavors my favorite is the garlic park fries. They have a great selection of wings and they offer a new wing each month. I often eat the smoked gouda cheesesteak which is one of my favorite cheesesteaks of all time. My dessert of choice is the fried uncrustables with ice cream which brings out my inner elementary school kid when I used to eat uncrustables all the time. read more

Went with a group of 6 before seeing a comedian at the nearby Parx casino on a Friday night. We had a great time - good bar food, great beer selection and mixed drinks. The server was terrific, hustling and working hard. The only (slightly) negative is that it's loud - but that's due to the fun, salt-of-the-earth type crowd. Will definitely be back. read more

The union Tap is the old patty wacks, As the owners of General grants had to close its doors for reasons they relocation was hear. Glad to see they reopen but with a different name. As I've been there a few times I notice not much has changed from when it was patty wacks. Only notice that they have added take out beer section that I never notice was there before. And one of my favorites also, Not you're father's Root beer. On Tap!! Have not Tryed the food but hearing by others the food is just as good as in the past and they still have the same sauce for there wings. So definitely in future I look forward to trying the food one night. They also have happy hour from 4-6pm...huge selection of 80+ beers... Monday - Friday!! Can't wait to head back for another fun night of beers!! read more

Hidden gem... burgers are AMAZING!!! Food is cooked exactly as you order it and it comes out hot!!! Messy, gooey, delicious!!! The Delphia burger was amazing!!! read more

I feel like some of the menu ideas are interesting for bar food and the food sounds better on paper than it actually is. The smoked chili rubbed burger lacked the golden color in which caramelized onions are supposed to have and the burger was not cooked to the temperature asked. The bacon did have a good flavor though. The fried mozzarella was a bit over cooked and lacked cheese in the inside. The breading was not very flavorful as well. Crab soup was okay, nothing to rave about or to return for. I was interested in a few other items on the menu but I feel like they will fail to execute the flavors expected. read more

I live in center city and make it up to NE Philly on occasion. Found this place a year ago and stopped in for a couple hours on a Saturday to kill some time. Great place. Fun, lively atmosphere, good food, good crowd, friendly bartenders. Just stopped back a couple days ago under similar circumstances, and it's every bit as good as I remembered. Wish I had a place like this in my neighborhood! read more

Pretty wide beer/seltzer/cider selection and you can always get some to go. Really good food as well. The south west chicken wrap is something I get like every other week. It's delicious and comes with the homemade chips. Also really good wings in different flavors. Quizzo on Thursday nights at 7:30 read more

Picked this place for wing deal. Nice bartender. Good service. Good prices. One disappointment was the ice bar wasn't working so i couldn't keep my beer cold. Wings are great. Tried habanero. Not too spicy but good flavor. Bartender recommended BBQ rub fries with beer cheddar sauce. It was good and is recommended. Grants hot wings had great flavor but an odd smell. Saw boneless which looked good but had an even stronger odd smell. Wanted to try burger but was too full on wings and beer and fries. read more

I have known about this place for a while but for no particular reason, haven't checked it out. That's something I regret now! The waitress was over the top friendly (not the most important thing to us but want to note that), our service was prompt, our glasses were always full, the wings were great and done perfectly(we asked for well done) and my bunless burger was PERFECTLY rare. We wished we would have visited sooner but this is definitely not our last time there! read more

Just ordered from Uber eats. Had higher hopes for the food. They listened well and my order came to correctly for the most part. Wings were not cooked well enough. Garlic herb sauce is just clarified butter and some garlic and the mild sauce was very watery. I also ordered crab cake sandwich with fries and the fries were limp and had a weird taste. Crab cake was nice size but the sandwich itself was just ok. Maybe they are better for dine in. read more

I struggled with a 2-3 star rating but decided on a 3 to be nice even though I was not satisfied with their drinks. Came in here on a Sunday night, wanted a drink and some good bar food. I left getting neither. First the place is clean and modern. I love their little ice block on the bar that keeps drinks cold, I thought that was pretty cool. Tons of beers on tap and extensive selection. I am no beer girl. So I ordered my mixed drink and it came back kind of nasty - just an imbalance of liquors in the cocktail I ordered. I still drank it. My girlfriend and I ordered French onion soup, fried pickles, boneless wings and garlic parm fries. The French onion soup was barely hot (and that is weird because it usually goes right under the broiler - maybe it waited a while to be picked up who knows). The soup was mushy, croutons in it were mushy. It is rare I will meet a French onion soup I do not like and this was the day. Worst French onion ever. My girlfriend loves fried pickles I could do without them. She made me try one. So I give it some cool points for the fact that I could bite into it and it didn't pull the rest of the pickle out. That is good but the seasoning on the breading is disgusting and too overpowering. Garlic parm fries were really good but for the price you got such a small portion. The boneless sweet thai wings were not good. The boneless wings were kind of hard. This could be from over frying or maybe they had freezer burn in the freezer. The thai sauce sucked it was almost un thai like. Drinks were semi expensive for the quality and service received. I do not think I would go back. But I am sure someone could get a semi good meal here. Maybe it was an off night. read more

Absolutely love this place! Service is great; someone always checks on us to see how we're doing or if we need anything. Although their menu is pretty small, there are many choices. The chicken quesadilla is delicious! I work right around the corner; my coworkers and I always swing by for lunch at least once a week. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Ate here today for lunch. With all the hype from neighbors we wanted to give it a shot. Walked in and it was dead, the service was great! The food not so much. Wife ordered a spinach salad with oil and vinegar. 10 minutes later they come out and they are out of vinegar. No proved she went with the Thai chili, she liked it but spicy. The salad was kind of boring only consisted of cranberries, spinach and cheese. I started with French onion soup, meh, it was luke warm. I had the BBQ pork quesadilla, big mistake. Good idea but poor execution. There was so much oil on the plate it was inedible. The salsa that came with also wasn't very fresh. I ate the top 2 pieces that weren't swimming in grease. Not sure I would go back for food but maybe a beer.. 2 stars read more

This bar is absolute trash. I order shots and was told it would take awhile. I understood and said that it would be ok and that I could wait. After waiting for more than 20 minutes I was told to leave by the bouncer. I responded by saying, "ok that's fine, I'm just waiting on some shots and need to finish the last sips of my drink. To which he put his hands around my throat and threatened me. I will and have started the process to file a police report. I would never recommend coming here. Also I wish I could put 0 stars instead of one. read more

Rude manager! My entire order was wrong and when I called the manager talked sh*t before he got on the phone (guess he thought I couldn't hear him) then basically said if I want the correct order I'd have to pay ANOTHER $50... I order from this place all the time the exact same way.. I didnt make the mistake but who cares.. got my money right?
