Top 5 Cocktail Bars in Pennsylvania

331 E Water St, Gettysburg, PA 17325, United States

“Have you ever been to a place where the employees were more interested in being your friend than just trying to sell you something? There is no doubt you will feel welcomed here! This distillery is a tucked in little gem. Very comfortable cozy vibe! The staff was very engaging and just excited you're there. There are tons of gluten free options available. I'm coming back for sure! The only thing I could complain about is that it's not closer to home😉 Well deserved 5 stars 🌟”

200 Shiloh St, Pittsburgh, PA 15211, United States

“Great cocktails and great selection of whiskey, not a bar that buys over hyped pours. 11/10 recommend you go.”

4617 Liberty Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15224, United States

“Excellent food and drinks. Staff is super friendly. Cool bar and seating areas.”

202 E Girard Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19125, United States

“Hands down EXCELLENT. It was our first visit, and we were not disappointed! What a gem of a place! Our wait to get a table was about an hour, we did arrive around 6 pm on a Saturday so the wait was expected. Bar service and table service were both outstanding. The Murph's team was so busy, but all of the staff hustled to make sure every customer was being taken care of. Our dinner was amazing. Fresh, delicious pasta!! I wanted to order everything on the menu! Prices were also very reasonable. I can't wait to get back to Murph's!!”

15 N Walnut St, West Chester, PA 19380, United States

“The atmosphere and vibe was great the night we went. The food was delicious. We actually ordered a second round of the zucchini chips and the mussels in Marinara with the bread. Although everything tasted great. We mostly opted to have appetizers and sharables with a few entrees but it was overall great! Our waitress was patient and great with our group. Especially with the pandemic causing some adjustments in the restaurant industry she was great. I'm sorry I don't remember her name!”

2013 Ranstead St, Philadelphia, PA 19103, United States

“Listen. That's one hell of a place to go on a date! Beautiful, sensual, and dark atmosphere (even from the outside and the room for the reservations), comfortable booths, open till late at night, and limited seats (yes, you'll probably need a reservation, but it will never get overcrowded!). Con: Bathroom's a bit... bad... to put it in a good way. The music was great and just on the right level to easily have a conversation. The service was on point with a good bartender and great waiters who knew the drinks. The only downside was the price for the drinks (which were great overall), the portions for them, and how short the selection was. I'm sure they'd be able to list a few more interesting drinks other than 3× of each classic one. And $17-20 for a cocktail and $19 for a glass of wine that came in a can? Hmmmmm, I don't know... You can be the judge of that.”

2201 Christian St, Philadelphia, PA 19146, United States

“I had thee absolute best time ever here especially as a new customer. My sister and I will be going here more frequently. The manager Martese (I hope I spelled that right) was GREAT. And another patron Kevin chatted with us and schooled us about all things lacrosse. The food was amazing...... although I had to send my sandwich back because it was just too salty. So I got a burger. And the caesar salad was amazing!!! I've never had it with capers before and it didn't make it overly salty. Nice vibe would be an understatement Update 8/13/2023: Still 5 stars. Wanted to add the Beef Bourgeoning Gnocchi. OMG DELICIOUS!!!!!”

1907 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19103, United States

“Was very happy to find a place that we could actually sit down and eat on a Saturday night with no reservation and the food ended up being wonderful. I highly recommend the jerk chicken tacos. They were so good that we just had them delivered to the hotel the next day. It was very loud and went in there, but that was mainly contributed by a group of three or four very loud girls sitting at one table.”

216 S 11th St, Philadelphia, PA 19107, United States

“Some of the best veggie meatballs I’ve ever had. They were so good, I have to come back for more!”

2220 Walnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19103, United States

“We tried bistec taco 🌮 which was very dry and flavorless. All the tacos come in three tiny ones. Only ordered one but came in two orders. Oh well. Shrimp taco was very bland as well. Esquites (roasted corn) was decent. Service was not great either. Very difficult to find a waiter. Good place for bar food. The happy hour is good.”

264 Canal St, Phoenixville, PA 19460, United States

“Second time here. Same nice service. You get to watch people canoeing, ride bikes, and waking trail. you can feed the turtles and fish. They even had free food to feed the fish and turtles. Canoes are for rent along with tubing. Great food. Fair prices. I recommend.”

2509 W Main St, Eagleville, PA 19403, United States

“We go frequently for Prime Rib nights. The prime rib was great. A few mess ups out of the kitchen but no worries. My only real request would be to bring back Coke products! We've been coming here for years and it's always been Coke. Tonight, it was Pepsi and when we asked the server she said they switched because Pepsi is cheaper. It's not it... Please switch back to Coke!”

6012 Centre Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15206, United States

“Loved it so much I came here twice on a trip! I needed to find a place that did Mac and Cheese well, and they delivered. Great pierogis, too! The drink selection is excellent. Each time I went there was always a space for me.”

2120 Fairmount Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19130, United States

“The atmosphere of this little place was definitely a favorite. The workers were so sweet and the drinks and appetizers were even better. All we got were the pretzels but it was good enough to make me wanna come back and try more. You will definitely see me again. Thanks Urban Saloon. 🤍”

240 Arch St building 18, Williamsport, PA 17701, United States

“This place is absolutely my favorite brewery. Made the 3 hour drive to finally go check it out in person. It did not disappoint. The selection of beers is great. Ample seating both indoor and outdoors. Friendly and knowledgeable staff that are welcoming. Food truck on site daily.”

2138 US-220 BUS, Bedford, PA 15522, United States

“Great Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl, Steak with Fries and Charcuterie Board! Best Bonfire in the winter months!”

2006 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19103, United States

“Great atmosphere. Amazing cocktails without the pretension that often comes with the cocktail scene.”

1342 Cypress St, Philadelphia, PA 19107, United States

“Very cute, eclectic little bar. The upstairs was closed, but the bar downstairs had plenty of seats for the early evening crowd on a Sunday. We enjoyed our two drinks, though a little on the sweet side for my preference. The overall experience was fine. We're down to go and try it again! Love the Lil Nas X mural on the side. It's gorgeous!”

3945 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19104, United States

“Went here for dinner and everything was very good. The food was tasty and the service was very quick and friendly. We were able to catch the last half hour of Happy Hour which got us discounted appetizers and drinks.”

124 S 13th St, Philadelphia, PA 19107, United States

“A friend told me about this bar so when my husband and I visited Philly this past weekend, we decided to drop by. We came during happy hour and were lucky we didn’t have to wait too long for seats to become available. We only got drinks but they were good and very reasonably priced. We saw people next to us order food from their happy hour menu and they looked good, smelled good, and seemed like a decent amount of food for the price! Ambiance is also very cute. Only complaint is that no server came to us and we had to keep going to the bar to order. I’d come back next time we are in Philly to try their food though.”
