They filled me and my friends in on the specials, the nights (and mornings-hangover breakfast...LOL). The neighbor patrons are friendly and it is an older crowd, so not too BS - everybody is doing their own thing, but if you are chill and strike up a conversation - you will make friends. I went over to the kitchen window, asked about the food and who does the cooking, so now I know about how a Mom and her daughter handle that area & they seem to have a fan base that gave good recommendations. The best thing was the freakin jukebox!! Great music choices that you can jam to and if you make some good choices as we did - you get on the good side of the bar maids and fellow patrons fast. On Saturdays & Sundays we were told they have a DJ - may have to come back to check that out. I was digging the scene & I will be back to check it out on a DJ Night!!

When I lived in the neighborhood, Locust Bar, was a frequent stop for me, but since I moved across…read moreBroad I hadn't been in awhile. I'm happy to report things haven't changed. When you approach, they always look closed. Dim lights and closed blinds. In the evening there's usually someone checking IDs. You can sit at the large bar or the 10 or so booths they have. Music is controlled by TouchTunes and the TV's always have whatever game is playing on. Many dive bars in Philly are very neighborhood focused and sometimes you feel a bit out of place if you're not a "regular", this is not the case at Locust Bar. Their bartenders and friendly and efficient, and the crowd is usually friendly and talkative. Standard selection of drinks and a pretty wide menu. The food is good, but not everything is great. Stick to the fried selections.

PHILADELPHIA, PA: we love ourselves a good dive bar and McCusker's Tavern perfectly fits the bill!…read more The building has been an Irish bar since 1907 and McCusker's took it over in 1968. You can feel the Philly pride in here - the walls are full of Philadelphia sports memorabilia, band posters, beer signs, and has the feel of a hometown bar. Jessie, the bartender, let us know that leashed and friendly dogs are allowed inside and that you can bring your own food (they formerly served food, but have since stopped). We had a great time watching college basketball on their big screen TV, checking out original game-used stadium seating from the now demolished Veterans Stadium, and played some old-school games in the back. They will have game nights weekly.

I went into the Graffiti Bar for Happy hour, which runs from 4-7PM. It was very busy and tough to…read moreget a seat, but we managed. It is located behind the restaurant, you can walk down the alley or walk though Sampan (to the left behind the kitchen). Beef Satay...very good! Definitely would get this again.

Kim Chee Fried Rice...really good, this was definitely our favorite. Riced cooked perfectly and the flavors were so memorable with the egg in the middle. After Happy Hour we didn't need dinner for the night and it was great to take a walk in the city to digest!

This time I had plans for another nearby restaurant but walking by and seeing the outside and semi outside seating after a very long winter and a delicious looking salad just beckoning me in was all I needed to change my plans and head right in the door. The place has a very trendy vibe and open air establishment during the warmer months. The Chicken is tender and flavorful and they have a variety of Sandwiches and Salads. Fries were good too but there is a up charge for fries. Pricing was a bit on the high side for what it was but the place was a great place to sit a spell and enjoy the beautiful evening. Server was attentive and friendly.

The people are friendly and it's a good spot to go to grab a drink or hang with some friends!

Unfortunately, this was by far the worst experience I've had. We had a 7 PM reservation and arrived at 7:15 PM. I acknowledge that we were late and apologized to the host. However, we arrived within the stated grace period. When we checked in, the hostess explained that because we arrived later within the grace period, our 90-minute seating window would still end based on the original reservation time. We acknowledged that and had absolutely no issue with it. What made the experience uncomfortable was how aggressively we were reminded about the time throughout the entire meal. We were reminded at least 5-6 separate times how much time we had left. Comments like "just so you know you have 25 minutes left" and "our next party is coming in 5-10 minutes" made it feel like staff was actively trying to rush us out before our reservation time had even ended. Mind you, we already understood the policy. One reminder would have been enough. Instead, it completely changed the energy of the evening and made us feel unwelcome and pressured to leave. We had originally planned to stay through our reservation and then move to the bar for the live music afterward, but after being repeatedly rushed, we decided to leave entirely and spend the rest of the night elsewhere. The most disappointing part was the interaction with the manager, Eric. Rather than listening or showing any understanding, he immediately became defensive and aggressive. He repeatedly insisted we were "15-20 minutes late," which was simply not true -- we arrived during the stated grace period. The issue was never the policy itself. It was the way we were treated throughout the night. It's unfortunate because this has genuinely been one of my favorite spots in Philly, and I've recommended it to multiple people. But this experience left a really bad impression, especially when bringing guests from out of town.

Everyone we interacted with was absolutely wonderful and pleasant, ranging from the team members to our fellow patrons. I had a gin and Sprite to drink and I ordered the burger for some grub. The drink was standard but on the strong side. I enjoyed the burger very much and found the fries to be hot and crispy, just as a good shoestring fry should be. Of course, we enjoyed the live music that swirled around the bar that evening. The band was great and upbeat. I would definitely return!
