This place is warm and cozy. It is always packed eveytime we come here. The food is amazing. The mussels are the best around. They come with bread and frites. Omg the frites were fresh and soo good. We also get the cheese board. We have never had a bad meal here. The selection of beers are nice. There is a full bar. It is such a good vibe.

I just want to say: WOW. This is a small place but if you come in early, you might snag the biggest table they have for 7 people! Our server was very knowledgeable in explaining the food choices. Based on the reviews here, I went ahead and ordered the classic Mussels. What I didn't know that it could be cooked another way: Thai coconut curry and another- I completely forgot at that point because I was so mesmerized by the amount of variety of Beers they had. All in all, I would recommend to order their appetizers: Chicken Liver(which to this day, I am still dreaming about eating it again), Smoked Trout Dip, and Mushroom cake! Definitely will come back again and try the other beers!

By far, one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Bustling place so expect a bit of a wait. Highly recommend dividing and conquering your meal. Also, duck salad is best as a duck salad. Sandwich was good, but it shines as a salad.

A Philly staple for so long for a reason. Awesome beer menu. Well crafted to have the best, most unique list. Nothing you pick will be bad. Food is a nice pairing. They are known for their muscles which are a nice big size and refreshing, not too heavy. Their vegetarian options are so well executed. The veggie mushroom cheesesteak is one of the best in town. Unexpectedly good.
