Cavanaugh's Rittenhouse

Cavs Rittenhouse is a center city staple. The whole menu is good but the wings (go Cavs sauce) are probably the highlight. Cheesesteak egg rolls and pierogis are great appetizers. The servers are all knowledgeable and chill. The vibe is Philly sports bar, it's perfect.

Honestly....I'm shocked I'm rating this 5 stars. Came here with a friend to watch the Phillies, and as a cocktail bar kind of person whose not big into sports, I had such low expectations.Right away I liked that they were managing the crowd size. It was full but not overly crowded inside. We were the last ones in before they started managing the crowd, and a line quickly formed outside.There was tons of seating inside, but we got there late so stood at the bar. If we get there earlier next time we could definitely get a seat.Service was great and we were easily able to order. We both just got seltzers. The food all around us looked great too, nachos and such...and next time were back we plan on getting some!

The food had massive portions and was very delicious. We sat at the bar and had a really cool bartender named Brian, who made us feel right at home. It's a great sports bar, TVs everywhere and all positioned to be viewed from where you're sitting. A great vibe all around.

My first time at Cavanaugh's since the move and I had a good time. Upstairs was kind of crowded for the Palmetto Bowl so I stayed up there briefly then found a spot at the downstairs bar where I was able to meet some folks who lived within walking distance. We chatted a bit, I offered some beer options that I thought they'd enjoy as I indulged in a Goose Island Boubon County Stout which is absolutely delicious! Available only on the main floor and is greatly recommend. The Saturday night college football atmosphere did not disappoint at all. Maybe, a little too accommodating trying to satisfy everyone with games on the tvs which is never a thing cause someone will find a reason to complain, but overall I appreciated the effort to show as many games as possible. It was great seeing everyone in their college gear and hearing the Ooohhhs and ahhhs, laughter, fight songs, and screams across the bar, upstairs and downstairs. If you're game, I'd say grab a mystery beer and let your tastebuds be surprised. I was not disappointed at all. :)My only issue was after a while the bartender was MIA and never came back to check on us or to see if we needed anything else. It was pretty busy but with a couple people behind the bar, just a quick, "Hey, are you guys good?" Acknowledgment would have been nice. Overall, it was a good time, and the nachos were amazing even though they still came out wrong with the clarification. LOL

Came here with a group of friends after a busy day walking around in the city. Cavanaugh's is your classic bar, with lots of tv's, noise and bustle. It's pretty much what you expect, and it was pretty average overall. We each ordered different items off the menu and agreed our dishes were average. I ordered the french tip sandwich and it was tasty but the quality wasn't great. The fries were the highlight of the meal though so I recommend trying them, especially with the chipotle mayo. The service was pretty slow even though they didn't have too many customers at the time, but our server was friendly.

I've been to this location a few times, never a dull moment! Each time I've been I've sat at the bar (pictured) or the upstairs rail. Service has been great wherever I've sat.It is quite noisy, but that is to be expected, it adds to the atmosphere. I went this past Monday for the UGA vs. TCU game and the every was phenomenal!!! They were ended trivia right before the game, so it was crowded, noisy and challenging to move around.I had the wings and the buffalo did here, GREAT! Both items are filling and good to pair with a few beers. The upstairs bartenders are great in terms of service, remembering detail and engagement!

Fun sports bar. Pretty decent food, service was a bit slow when I wasn't at the bar. Fun Philly sports atmosphere great local place to catch the big game.

We decided to take stroll in Chinatown and find something to eat. We had no luck either restaurants didn't look appetizing or they didn't let us order when we walked in. We ended up ordering Cavanaugh's Rittenhouse via Uber Eats. We ordered BBQ Wings, Mozzarella Sticks, and a Chicken Quesadilla. The wings were ok. I wish they were fried hard and then tossed in bbq sauce. The mozzarella sticks were oddly huge and there was way too much cheese. Plus the itty bitty marinara sauce they gave us was laughable . I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken quesadilla. It was awesome. The sautéed chicken, caramelized onions, and three cheese blend sent my palate to places I'd never think bar food could. The quesadilla was massive and stuffed to the brim. For bar food this place is expensive.

We excitedly went here for the St Patty's Bar Crawl since they were listed as offering the $9 Tito's special (see attached). When I asked the bartender (Mary?) about it, I legit got scolded for even showing it to her. She told me to check the Cavanaugh's website instead. Everything about her was nasty, from her tone and the look on her face. You would have thought I had just insulted her.I saw her interactions with other people at the bar and it wasn't like this, making me think that it perhaps had to do with my race. Photo attached so she's held accountable. There's no reason to behave like this. I would just stay away from her.

Rude bartender who asked if I have ever been to a bar when I asked for the drink menu. Our group had reserved space upstairs, and I couldn't see what's on draft. Seems like if you don't look or act a certain way, you'll have a poor experience, but that's not saying much because the venue is no different from your mediocre sports bar that you could find in literally any corner of the country, whether in Kansas or elsewhere.
