Many beer choices! Very reasonable prices for draught beer. Food was tasty. Pub menu choices. The service was great. Not busy in a Thursday night. The food took a long time to come out even though it was not busy. It was loud inside. Hard to have a conversation with out using a loud voice. The music playlist was good.

First off it was definitely a cool bar, good music and seemed like fun. But the short brunette bar tender made the experience horrible. She was so rude. We had just flown in town and decided to stop by here first because we were hungry. We didn't expect it to be a full on party but it was cool! My husband ordered from the blonde bar tender and I had ordered from the short brunette. When I told my bar tender we were on the same tab she looked at the other girl rolled her eyes and then looked at me rolling her eyes and shaking her head as if it was a huge problem. She made it seem like we were drunk and not paying attention; even though we had not had a drink at all yet. She had a full on attitude after that. After she had gave me my drink she had stormed off pist and the other girl closed us out. I'm not really sure what the attitude was about but it made us feel uncomfortable so we left & didn't end up ordering food. I've been in this industry in the past for years, I'd never treat a customer the way she did or handle a "situation" she did. If this is how treats customers, she's in the wrong field.

Came for lunch from the Philly Flower Show nearby. Good beer selection on taps, plus an extensive bottle list. We ended up with a Pilsner and Kolsch, and paired that with a Pretzel and beer cheese as appetizer. My partner got a salad with Chicken, while I opted for the Chicken Sandwich - both entrees were excellent.

They card u only if u come later on in the night. Was seated at a table, waiting for my date. The server was prompt and very attentive. Started off with a couple drinks (a dark beer and in a pear tree cocktail), chicken donner and buffalo cauliflower. The drinks and food was average but the price (guessing due to center City) was extra high.

Food was overpriced and okay. Service was great and ambience was good as well. Went here for the Phillies game and had a good time. Great place to watch a game and drink $5 beers but not to eat

Prior to leaving PA, me and my brother found our way into this bar. It was near closing so there weren't many people. I was able to check out all of the different drinks they offered along with the setting.It was really clean and they easily had over 50+ drinks and the theme was barrels. Everything seemed to be sitting on a barrel. The bar had several tvs each with a different station and the food menu was straight forward. I had a sprite and a pretzel it was pretty good.

Yes please! I'm a sucker for good German food/beer. Was actually walking to another restaurant and saw the sign, German food and tons of craft beers on tap.... Yes please! Bartenders were super attentive, my Wurst plate was the best I've had! Yep better than that other large German restaurant that starts with an "H". Only thing that was missing was a good creme puff... but loved the Plank Dunkler Weizenbock too!

So I was in town with some coworkers for the Army vs Navy football game and we decided to grab dinner and some drinks. We stopped into Brü since most of downtown was full and they had some space. Our seating was reminiscent of a picnic table, which was rustic to say the least but we had good views of the TVs. We placed our order of the food while the game was taking place. Fries were good, chicken sandwich lacked spice but had decent crunch. We got charged extra for ranch and hot sauce...after we ordered wings. And a extra $2 for ordering something neat. Which wasn't even a larger pour... Service was relatively quick but when it came time to get the check, the bill came out as one check.We were all separate so we asked her to split the checks into four. I thought it would've been a simple task, but apparently our waitress had no idea what items belong to whom. I thought no problem, we can tell you who had what but then she handed us a pen, asked us to split up and mark down, which belong to who. Never in my life have I been to an establishment where they asked me to split the check myself. So after we had marked off on the receipt which items belong to whom, and gave her our credit cards, she came back for a fourth time asking if we can just write it and total it on the back of the receipt since it was too confusing for her.Once we finished detailing which items belong to whom we decided to finish watching the game. The manager at the time then asks us to get up since they needed to seat more people after only sitting there for 10min but then told us that he would compensate us with a drink. Never coming back.

Made the mistake of having dinner here on Saturday. Awful on all levels. One menu was provided for 5 people. There was a huge emphasis on WAIT from the waitress who was inattentive at best. Food came out slow and staggered and was cold. Didn't matter much because only one person in our party had received silverware. The waitress never returned to see if everything was ok with our food, if we needed any drink refills, or anything else. I had to chase her down for utensils and napkins. She brought us plasticware because they had no clean utensils. Declined drink refills because we just wanted to get the hell out of there. Check came and there was a $5 fee (can't remember what it was called) I believe it was for using a credit card. If this was posted anywhere it was not clearly visible. Perhaps if the owner or manager who seemed to be flitting in and out chatting frequently with our WAITress, (walking by our table many times) had spent time checking on his customers and cracking the whip with staff it would have made a difference. We will not be returning, save yourself the agony. So many wonderful restaurants in Philly but this isn't one of them.

I live and work in center city Philly, and I've passed Bru a hundred times, but it was always so busy. I stopped in tonight for hh and I know why it's always busy. My bartender, Faith, was outstanding, she knew so much about every beer on tap, as well as the menu. ()I ordered a gin & tonic, and Faith asked if she could spice it up. I'm not sure what I got, but it had something called St. Germain. It was amazing. In short, this is my NEW SPOT.
