We only had the 4oz Pumpkin Chai Latte Milkshake and it was delicious - could really taste all the spices. We were already full because of brunch elsewhere but I will be back to try other draft pours (especially their extra vanilla milkshake) and their food menu - which looks so tempting. The bartender was very friendly and approachable. read more

Great salad, beers were delicious, and good people watching. Just be careful to watch the signs for parking because they can be confusing.

Large area for gatherings and great beer invites you in to stop in this area right before you explore the rest of the town. With local events nearby and plenty of parking, you'd wonder why you didn't come here earlier. They serve food and individual glasses of beer for your "flight," so you can have one, three, or the whole menu. read more

Tired Hands - Fermentaria - Breweries Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

This was my first time back at the Fermentaria in several years, partially due to COVID and partially due to the fact that I was not a big fan of their beer selections. There are a few that I think are good, but not strongly enough to go there. I have friends though who love the place, so when they suggested I thought, sure, why not, the food was good though. Since the COVID shutdowns they moved their retail space into the Fermentaria, which is nice and also takes some space away from dining tables. It's a big space though and somehow it makes the space feel less like a cafeteria. They're known for funky art designs - something the NMA really likes. There are no servers - you order by scanning a QR code, selecting items, paying and sending. Someone comes by later and brings your food. I've seen this in other places and I don't mind too much. The menu has changed quite a bit though, and is limited in choices. I ordered the salad with a lemon -vinegar type dressing and a basket of fries. The fries were the highlight, they were really good. The salad was so bland I was not sure there was dressing on it. No S& P on the table meant I could not improve it on my own (salt covers a lot of sins in a salad). My friends enjoyed their food - the pork panini was declared 'really good'. The beer was fine, again, there's a few I don't mind. No surprises, I would not choose to go there again unless it was a group gather. read more

Been wanting to visit Tired Hands for some time and finally got a chance while visiting around Philly. This place is worth the effort to locate. The beer is top quality and the location is large with lots of seating. Nice that they offer loads of can options to go including their side brewing company Little Log Cabin. They have a good food menu as well. Definitely want to come back read more

We came to Tired Hands on a Saturday night, post Ripplewood, because we always passed by Tired Hands and have been wanting to try it out. The tables were mostly full, and there was good vibes flowing all around. I like the interior. While it was chilly inside, it was spacious and airy. We ordered Brain Matter Splatter can and 2 other 4 ounce beers (but I forget what they are). We're not really fans of ales, so none of the beers really spoke to us, but this was an overall nice experience. Service was nice and laidback. I enjoyed this place! It's certainly a nice spot in Ardmore to kick back and relax. read more

Nice tap room. Great environment and relaxed setting. Great for most occasions. Great beer selection at very reasonable prices. Also a variety of food options...seemingly something for everyone. Seating at bar, counter-height tables and standard tabled seating throughout the space. The brewery vats can be seen toward the back of the space along with some cool decor throughout. There is a store where you can buy merch and their canned beer to go toward the back as well. All staff were friendly and efficient. Lots of metered parking spacing along the main road and in nearby lots. After 6pm is free. read more

One of my favorite places on the mainline. The staff is always friendly and the beer is incredible. What makes it even better is the food is seriously good as well. One of the best burgers I've had in the area, especially with the candied bacon. Also recommend the cheesesteak and the chicken sandwich. A good place for families with kids on a weekend afternoon. read more

Chill place & staff. Cool Anthony behind the bar makes some bomb muddled cocktails. Best big pretzel ever.

Food is generally good, along with service but the menu is becoming more and more uninspiring. Confirmed from discussions with other patrons who have frequented here over the years. Menu items like the pork, meatball sandwich's have been removed. The "new" happy hour menu is hardly a value. I've been a regular over the years; finding it hard to get the motivation to frequent as often read more

What a shame, I was here 6 months ago and the food was good. Today the burger came with cold dark oily fries, the labneh beet salad had no flavor and half a beet. If you get the fish tacos you will need to order two orders. They were tasty but I received a kids portion. The extra star is for a fresh and tasty beer. read more

Perhaps I was too harsh on Tired Hands as a brand all those years ago when I first reviewed them. They do make some great beers, especially their milkshake IPAs. Somehow I like this place better than the smaller Tired Hands brewery down the road, despite the fact that on the surface the brewpub feels like it's more my kind of place. While it's reminiscent of a warehouse, I appreciated that it's less claustrophobic than its sister location. The ambiance doesn't take a hit and this still feels like its own distinct brand. The beers are also still good, despite being told that the beers brewed in the smaller location tend to be better. read more

Very excited to finally drop a review for Tired Hands Brewing, Fermentaria location! I first became aware of the existence of the brewery at the height of the covid lock down and although I could not get their beer at the time I did develop a mild obsession with their online merchandise store in which I have placed several orders for their shirts and hoodies. But the opportunity at last arrived and I finally got to try some Tired Hands beer! Alien Church was the name of the beer that Steve and I enjoyed and is a New England IPA! This was one of the better beers I have had for this IPA type in a few months. Tropical, sweetness and hoppiness are the flavor features you will pick up with this beer and in texture it is smooth and light. As I said this New England IPA was one of the better ones I've had in recent months and is a far cry from a typical run of the mill New England IPA that a lot of breweries seem to be generating. read more

The Tired Hands Fermentaria is a spacious brewery with really fun hipster vibes going. They have a great selection of beers. While I don't drink much anymore, my friends all really enjoyed the IPAs, especially the flagship IPA. One of my friends lamented that there were no sours on the menu. Ordering was super easy. You scan a code and order online on your phone and they bring you the food or drinks super fast. Our group loved the shishito peppers and sweet potato fries. The peppers were expertly cooked but I did wish there was a little more salt stuck to them rather than sitting on the bottom. Best of all, the bill was super reasonable in the end. They have fair prices for their IPAs, not the $12 beers you find downtown. We brought a board game and hung out for several hours and had a great time. Definitely planning to be back. read more

Every time we are remotely close to Ardmore, we almost always make a pit stop to Tired Hands to stock up on their awesome and unique beers! We particularly love their milkshake IPAs, and their Aperol spritz-turned beer last summer was a hit in our house! Despite us often picking up their brews, we never actually stopped inside the Fermentaria for grub and drinks until this winter. We were super excited to meet some friends there and get the full ambience! We came on a Saturday evening and waited a few mins for a table for 4, but nothing crazy at all. We were able to order some drinks on their contactless online portal and hang by their shop / waiting area, which was nice. By the time our first round came, our table was already ready! I started off the night with one of their milkshake IPAs (I think it was a fruity one?? It's been a while - I apologize for the late review!!), which of course, was delightful and refreshing. The rest of our party enjoyed their first round as well! We hit our table and were able to notice the space more - the fermentaria is nothing too incredibly special in terms of decor, but it definitely has a homey and true brewery / bar feel. Of course, the focus should be the beer, not the ambience so we thought it was perfect! For eats, they have a small menu, with mostly sandwiches and some shareable plates, all good beer-pairing food. I went for the mushroom grinder, which was quite delicious! It was full of a variety of mushrooms all mixed in a pretty spicy sauce and encased in a robust sesame bun. That, paired with the fresh french fries, was pretty filling! I appreciated them having a vegetarian option in addition to their more meat-forward offerings, so Tired Hands can appeal to multiple dietary needs. Once I finished my first round paired with my sandwich, I went for their "Neapolitan" beer, which had a milkshake IPA on the bottom and and a porter layered on top. This was featured on their in-house menu and was pretty cheap (I think like $5??), so I was intrigued. It was a great way to try both beer varietals, and the presentation was key. I enjoyed this option and was the perfect second beverage. Everyone else really enjoyed their few beers and eats, and we were glad we picked such a conducive place for good drinks, food, and conversation! Overall, we enjoyed our long overdue trip to the Fermentaria! The vibe was fun, and the food was tasty and nicely paired with their excellent beers. We definitely hope to make it back to try of course more beers, especially their summer IPAs and other unique offerings, and more of their food options! Highly recommend to anyone making their way through Ardmore or anyone interested in one of Philly's best local brews! read more

Went before a concert at The Mann. Actually had a little trouble finding place because the GPS took me down 1 way so just be aware. Nitro Stout at 4.3% was awesome! Love having low percentage beer available. We had cheesesteak and burger, both were really good. Nice vibes even on Sunday. Would highly recommend. read more

I'll say it. I don't like craft beer. I like a simple lager. Give me yuengling or tecate, a wheet beer with some fruity flavor. But I can't stand IPAs or pale ales, and most breweries are wasted on me. But I do love Fermentaria! First of all, they have really good lemonade and their iced coffee is incredible, so I can find something good to drink. They also have a nice menu with one of the best smash burgers in the are. It's a double smash with Cooper Sharp, pickles, LTO, special sauce,and comes with a side of really good fries. Last time I was there for lunch I looked around and almost half the people eating were having the burger. Another surprise...the dessert offerings! They make some great whipped cream and it's served with a lot of their desserts. I've had the coconut rice pudding and the berries on a biscuit. Next on my agenda is the coffee pot. The servers are great, water was brought out immediately and they've been very friendly anytime I need something. They have moved to a QR Code ordering system where each table has a custom QR Code you scan on your phone. Takes you to a page where you enter your name/number or email then proceeds to the menu where you can order drinks and food. It has a nice option to keep your tab open if you are drinking. I know some people won't like it, but this is the way of the future and we will be seeing more of it. I'll also note I haven't gotten any spam as a result of using it. I didn't ask but assume they have an actual menu if you don't have a smartphone. My dad wouldn't know what to do with a QR code on his flip phone. They have a nice bar, lots of seating, with high and low tops, and a general store, in an industrial setting with really high ceilings and a view of the beer vats. Not a TV in site which was nice, which makes you look at the interesting artwork. They also have a small outdoor section you access from inside. No dogs, I asked! They currently have a pop up beer garden on west chester pike in edgmont just up the road from the movie theater. Dogs are welcome there! read more

LOVE! Well worth the 1.5 hour drive. We didn't make a reservation before hand, but there were high tops available during our wait (and the beer selection was enough to hold us over :)). Some might complain about the noise, but as to be expected due to the space of the building. We were lucky enough to snag a table outside, a shame there isn't a larger outdoor space, but not complaining because it's small and intimate away from the noise. The fish tacos were tasty and filling. Fresh slaw added texture and the tortillas seemed fresh. Requested the wing sauce on the side incase it was too hot for my 11 year old. For parents bringing their kiddos, not a lot of options if you have a picky eater, but do able (maybe bring a snack along). Make sure to take some beer home with you! read more

Hummus comes with tabouleh, pickled carrots, beets, and cauliflower, also grilled flat bread. The pickled veggies is great and so was the tabouleh. Not heavy on seasoning. Hummus is smooth but the taste of the chick peas wasn't present. The flat bread was warm but doughy. Curry cauliflower has pea pure and is perfectly cooked and seasoned. The taco shell I believe is not freshly made aka it's store bought. Each taco has two tortilla which I think is too much because each tortilla is pretty thick. Very filling. My husband had fish tacos and he said it's really delicious. Nachos with carnitas: I think it's more like tortilla chips with cheese dips because the chips and the sauce are separate. So don't expect a pile of tortilla chips with all of the goodness on top. The tortilla is so stale. The carnitas is salty, the cheese sauce lacks flavor. It's a disappointment. Salad: fresh but not big. However service was great. Our waitress knows the menu well and gave a nice recommendations. Food came out super fast. Overall the food is pretty decent for a brewery. read more

This place could be a really great place. But the staff are hit or miss. My friends end of choosing here to meet as it seems to always have enough room. The food is decent. This time I ordered an ice tea, then beers. And asked for a refill on my iced tea. And was told by the waitress I'd have to order another $4 plus $1 mandatory tip online. The iced tea is all ice and the glass is about 12 oz. So you're getting maybe 5 oz of iced tea. I think the margin on iced tea is 1,000% higher than the beer. No free refills unless it's water. That's either a staff training problem or not so great business model. I'll just order the free water next time to go with my beer. read more

My first Fermentaria review came when it was still fairly new and going through some menu pains. After two years of living a block and a half away, 45 check ins at present date, and hosting a successful UYE within (Next one coming TBD Spring(ish) 2018!), its fair to say that I've been there enough to warrant a review update. But it took a weekend gathering with a group of other Yelpers, and taking a bite out of one of the best chicken sandwiches ever (!!!), to realize just how long overdue it was! While the original menu I covered featured a number of the brilliant tacos that they still have today, it also had oysters and shared plates that just didn't fit the bill no matter how good they were. But since then they changed them up with delectable snacks like pork belly buns and braised beef empanadas, sabdwiches like a banh mi style veggie wrap and the best burger on the Main Line (with whisky dill pickles and candied bacon!), a killed brunch menu, and damn good fried chicken with pickled apple butter and chili honey! With incredible tacos like brussel sprouts with bacon jam and sriracha ranch dressing, and salmon with fried rice and orange ginger; they still very much manage to stay a main event! Add in the forward thinking beer that they've always been known for, and the mad cap special beer releases that they throw, and Fermenteria is as good as always! read more

We came here when traveling for work on the recommendation of a co-worker. We had a big party and they were very accommodating. It was a great space. Very open and not too loud. We liked that they had a kombucha option and it was quite good. We tried the nachos as an appetizer. They're served deconstructed which I really liked. We got the pastrami tacos and the big mac burger which was a special that day. I really liked both of them. I really wanted to try more of the tacos as well. For dessert we got the churros and the ice cream. I liked the churros more than the ice cream. This is a great place for a happy hour or causal hang out. read more

If you love craft beer, then tired hands is must visit if you find yourself in the Ardmore area. The Fermentaria and Brew Cafe are just a few short blocks away from each other, both offering a different experience, and in some cases, different beers on-tap. The Ferm. is the larger location and I'd say more family friendly. Both the food and beers are delicious. The only problem I've ever had with TH is the staff. While the majority of the team are friendly and welcoming, there are definitely a few employees who don't make you feel exactly like you fit in with the hipster vibe. TH has only been providing take-out only during the pandemic which is available for purchase online with very specific instructions for pickup. Hoping to visit the taproom again once covid settles down! read more

Really a 3.5 stars. Rounded up to a 4 because I'm a sucker for their beer. Many people claim their beer "all taste the same", but I disagree. They have different styles of beers. I mostly concentrate on their IPAs/DIPAs. Yes some of them are similar, they're all unfiltered with some combinations of hops, malts and fruits, but they are also all different, and that's what attract people. Plus they all have awesome names. So on average of all beers I have had and liked from there (a few hundreds?), I have to say they're worth 4 stars. But when it comes to food - oh how I wish they had better food. I with they have kept the food from the brew café, the interesting, creative, and eclectic food. Instead they just offer bar food/snacks. Their burger is at most OK, and tacos are very sub par. Compare to the café, I'd have to say their food is 2-3 stars. They are crazy crowded during the weekend, so score a table or seat is difficult. The place has a weird echo that it's hard to carry a conversation without shouting. It's great to see different beer that are brewed onsite, but there can be all kinds of loud noises as well. Overall, I'll continue to go for their beer, but that's pretty much it. read more

It is quite actually my favorite restaurant in the world; I live in NY and I travel to Admore, PA regularly just to get Fermentaria. The beer is the best I've ever had, and the food is always a deliciously creative twist on a classic dish. Despite constantly changing both the beer and food menus, Tired Hands Fermentaria hits the mark Every. Single. Time. Overall: 4.97 / Food: 4.8 / Drink: 5.0 / Service: 4.2 / Space: 5.0 / Value: 4.5 Normally I write reviews about the individual dishes I get, but you literally cannot go wrong here. Instead, I will recommend everything to you and allow you to choose what you're in the mood for. Beer: The beer menu changes weekly. So if you haven't visited in a while, it's time to go back. The Tired Hands brewery concocts the most flavorful, palatable, and creative beers I have ever come across. Anytime they have a MILKSHAKE IPA available on the menu -- make sure you order it. I do recommend getting 4oz. glasses of several different beers because you should never leave Fermentaria without trying at least 2 beers (and you can always double down with an 8oz of your favorite). Their menu gives in-depth explanations of the type of beer, the ingredients, and notes that you should be able to taste. The flavors are usually just as weird as the names (I've seen "hint of gummy bears" as a note and "We Are All Infinite Energy Vibrating at the Same Frequency" as a name), but there will be several beers you want to try at any given time. Food: While the beer is a show-stopper, you should still want to come to Fermentaria just for the food too. The BURGER and the TACOS are staples, and are delicious (friendly hint to order chipotle mayo with fries). The burger/fries, in particular, always finds a way to complement the beer perfectly. But I've had their rotating specials of FRIED CHICKEN with applebutter, pumpkin waffle, and BBQ BRISKET -- and everything is always next level phenomenal. I do miss the fried chicken with applebutter as a staple menu item though. The space is amazing, as you sit in spacious, hipster-chic brewery, surrounded by brewing tanks of beer. For all of its glory, it is relatively cheap -- though a lot of 4oz glasses of beer can add up. My biases: I'm a mid-20s male from NYC with a mean sweet tooth, a love of large portions, and an appreciation for high-quality food experiences - but only at a value.  Food taste is always the priority. read more

This review is for the food only. Came here on a Thursday night with a few friends! We arrived around 6pm with no reservations and there were plenty of tables open. However, it got pretty packed by 7:30pm so I highly suggest reservations if you plan on coming past 7pm. I decided on the fish tacos for dinner. The fish itself had a delicious batter and was cooked well. The slaw also complimented the fish well. However, I felt that the amount of sauce was greatly lacking making the tacos pretty dry. They also used two tortillas for each taco which was interesting. I would definitely like to try some of their other entrees. We all shared the pretzel bread pudding and oh my gosh I would give this a 10/5 if I could. It was so delicious, especially if you like caramel. I would come back just for this bread pudding haha. Overall, I wasn't a big fan of the fish tacos but the bread pudding was incredible and I would come back to try some other food options. The service was great and there was a decent sized parking lot in front of the restaurant! read more

Not to be confused with Tired Hands Brewery (right around the corner) the Fermentaria has a great selection of beers for all levels of beer lovers to enjoy along with a pretty diverse list of snacks and larger portioned food options. Most beers can be served in either a 4oz, 8oz or 10oz (?) pours and 4oz can be ordered two at a time. We tried a bunch of appetizers which were good to share but also good for lunch: Hummus: served with grilled flatbread, pickled veggies and tabbouleh--hummus was creamy and you could tell it was homage, but not the best hummus I've had in my life. Okay but nothing to write home about. Pretzel Balls: served with beer queso and grainy mustard-- the balls were warm and we found ourselves breaking them apart into little pieces to soak up every ounce of the mustard and queso that we could. Hush Puppies: made with poblano, cheddar and sweet corn and served with a spicy roasted tomato mustard to dip-- we actually ordered two orders of these babies and probably could've eaten a third between the four of us. They were so good! I'm not necessarily sure what makes a hush puppy a hush puppy, but these bad boys were a sure upgrade from the hard balls I've had in my life from Arthur Treatures. They were warm and easy to pull apart the batter was mixed with corn, and the sauce just made the already tasty base just that much better. 12/10 would go again and just get 4 ordered of these things for myself. Fish Tacos: beer battered with citrus slaw and chipotle mayo--the beer batter was a cool take on the classic, but they could've used a little chopping up prior to serving. One large piece was kind of cumbersome. Tacos Al Pastor: served with grilled pork, pineapple, chilis onion, salsa verde and topped with cilantro--the flavor profile of the pork was out of this world, but the heat caught up to you when you moved onto your second taco. We had to take a break and drink some water in between, even though they were so good that we didn't want to wait. The dining space featured wall art and exposed brewery equipment and had me saying "YAS" before we even sat down to eat. If you're ever on the main line this place is worth a visit for both beer and food! read more

I will start with saying that the beer and food are very good, at times excellent over the many years that I have patronized the Fermentaria. That said, Friday will be my last visit unless they desire to make changes. I will defend their right to make whatever policy choices they wish, and to treat customers how they see fit, especially the management. And we as customers can only vote with our business, and so it will be for me. Their manager on Friday night (she offered her name, and did not wish to know it after how she treated me) was beyond rude, and frankly insulting, to me. Some of the staff over the years has at times been what my wife and call "snippy" and "officious", however others have been delightful and the beer and food has been delicious. And now that's done for us, due to the Friday night manager. read more

Not much to say that hasn't been said already about the beer. This is one of the sole reasons I trek out to Ardmore, and back when I was on a particularly huge beer kick I'd come out here once a week for their weekly releases. Was always impressed by the service and above average line management. As for the Fermentaria, I love that there's ample space and good food to pair well with the numerous beers on tap. It's a nice way to try beers before you go for the cans too. There's a decent-sized parking lot and I haven't had trouble finding a spot so far, but it can get hairy on the weekends. A no-brainer and community fixture to visit if you love beer, especially if you're in the area. read more

Overall a solid craft brewery in the Philly burbs. We arrived shortly before the rest of our party, so bellied up to the bar. I ordered two of the 4 oz. pours, because I like to change it up on the palate, when comparing beers. My only complaint here is No Flights Here- no more than one 4 oz. pour at a time. That's a little bit ridiculous, compared to say- every other tasting room in the country. Others have stated this, so perhaps they'll change their practice to meet a collective desire for flights. The beer was good, and changes often. Hophands was good. Saison Hands was my favorite. I rated everything around 4 stars on Untappd. The space is popular, but our group of five had no problem getting a table 6:30pm on a Sunday night. The space is industrial, but I found it more inviting than other tap rooms, and expected it to be much noisier than it actually was. The burger, made with Hophands mustard and whiskey dills was great. And the taco options looked awesome. I bought some stickers which I'll make into magnets, and staff were very helpful and pleasant! I'll be back for sure. read more

Pretty cool brewery! Came here on the Friday before Christmas around 8pm and it was busy but not too crazy. We had a reservation but we didn't really need one. My brother and I are both vegan so it was nice to see some options for us! We shared the veggie burger, sweet potato tacos, and the salad. Everything was good! Nothing really blew me away though. The veggie burger didn't hold its shape very well, the taco wasn't super flavorful, and the salad was pretty standard. I don't think I'll be running back to have a meal here. read more

My Yelp and IRL buddy Kelley B lives down the street from Tired Hands Fermentaria. I was in Ardmore for an event and a few of us headed over afterwards for some food and a beer. Tired Hands Fermentaria is a really big space. It was a good deal larger then what I imagined. It has a pretty cool industrial chic design also. Our party of 9 was seated quickly enough and our server was attentive. Kelley B. was not in attendance, she was with her plus one in Colorado. Imagine that. Their beer selection is awesome and varied. I ordered the Forced Harmony: "Oak Fermented Berliner Weisse 4.6%. first offering from the Dispensary, our all oak fermentation facility! Composed of barley, wheat, oats, and a touch of rye. Fermented quite warm using an expressive mixed culture with a focus on a bright and citrusy lactobacillus presence." I really enjoyed this beer and it sure tasted great on a hot day. I also tried the Fish Tacos and as other reviews on Yelp have mentioned, they were very good and also light without being greasy. The rest of the menu looked really interesting also. I'll have to try to visit my friend Kelley more often so I can go to Fermentaria again. 4 Yelp Stars, more if they were closer to Cherry Hill. read more

Delicious beers! Crazy beers! Tired Hands is the place to get them. They brew some solid traditional styles that I really enjoy like the saisons, English mild, maibock, and IPAs. But then they have the super modern trending styles such as milkshake IPAs and super tropical fruity hopped double IPAs. The ones with crazy names. Space Food Cotton Candy Pina Colada Space Cookie Double Milkshake IPA. It said that on the side of my can. They really do have some awesome tasting beers. And their can art is psychedelic and otherworldly. They regularly have can releases which they announce on Instagram and if you want to grab some fantastic beers and take them home, follow them there for current release dates. This is actually what brought me here for the first time. I was new to Philly and looking up local breweries, checking their Instagram pages, and following them. After a couple months of seeing announcements for can releases of tasty sounding beers, I decided I had to make the trek. I drove up after work and picked up a few 4 packs of tall cans from the line outside at the garage door on the side of the brewery. Then I headed inside to grab some food for dinner. They have a nice selection of tacos and I chose carnitas. I eat this taco everywhere that I ever eat tacos at. The cost is $12 for two tacos which does seem high but they put a lot of meat into those two tacos. And the carnitas was really good. My only lament is that the tortillas did not appear to be toasted at all and that is definitely a letdown. I did of course drink a few beers. I'm always happy when a brewery serves half pours, ranging from 6 - 8 oz, and the Fermentaria does just that. I'm not a big fan of the small size that comes in a flight because I find it's usually not big enough to really enjoy the beer. The half pour is big enough to allow that while still being small enough to allow me to drink a few without getting drunk. I will definitely return. I will absolutely drink more beer. And eat more tacos. read more

Beer was awesome and the DDH burger was out of this world. My wife had the roast pork sandwich which looked amazing also.

TLDR: The food is hipster new American. The drinks are exceptional--if you are a fan of beer. The service is fast. The servers are considerate. I recommend their deconstructed nachos and their burger special--its basically a Big Mac but better. Big Mac plus plus. read more

Tired Hands is my favorite brewery in the Philadelphia area (followed by Crime and Punishment). The beer list at Tired Hands always has multiple tempting choices, including saisons, my personal favorite. Prices are reasonable, especially during happy hour. I also appreciate the option to get a 4 oz tasting size of any beer, so I can try more than one! The food is good but not fantastic. Tacos are a good deal on "Taco Monday." Note that the Fermenteria is separate from "Tired Hands Brewing," which is a smaller establishment with a different, slightly more upscale, food menu. I prefer the atmosphere at the Fermenteria. Parking is in a paid lot or in metered spots on the street, and it is sometimes difficult to find a spot. read more
