Fergie's Pub

Authentic neighborhood Irish Pub. Dropped during a quiet time for a beer. Bartender was friendly and drew me a proper Old Speckled Hen (Nitro). Might pop back in when live music is presented.

Service is absolutely horrible. Ordered beers with a couple of my friends only to be met with a very surly server. A few of my friends were only drinking water, so maybe she was just mad that she wasn't making money off the table. Either way, it felt unwelcoming and cold. The real problem is the upstairs. Never caught her named but the "robust" woman that works Wednesday night looks like she needed her cigarette a little too much. Comedy starts at 9, I went up there at 9:10 to see if it was ready and was told angrily, "the bar is not ready yet, leave." So I apologized for the intrusion and went back down. Hey, I understand that a bar space might need some time for turn around.I go back to finish my beer with my friends when the rotund bartender stomps over to and demands I walk with her. We walk outside and she says I am not welcome in the bar.... For asking if the section was open when it was meant to be open? Even the bouncer apologized for her rude and inhospitable behavior but had to tow the company line and refuse my reentry. If Fergie's was smart, they would rid themselves of this employee with high blood pressure and a short fuse. It's clear she can't contain her stress on the job and sets an unhealthy atmosphere of power tripping I can only assume infects the rest of the team. I loved this bar before last night, but wow Fergies, fire her.

Love the atmosphere here! Feels like a traditional Irish pub. Live band music on a Sunday night (come in before 7:30pm, it can get busy). Service is great! Attentive and friendly. Would give it 5 stars if the food was a little better. Wings are okay. Pub fries aren't exciting but the beer cheese on the side is fun. Biggest gripe is the bangers and mash. The sausages were like a Vienna sausage version. Very, very soft meat. The gravy is watery. Wish I ordered something else. Other than the soft bangers, love this pub!

I am very pleased to report that Fergie's, based on my first visit in many years, remains the same old reliable Irish pub institution that it's always been. Yes, they have no TV. Hurrah!The fish & chips, for example - probably the most perfect serving size that I've ever seen, not something that every place gets right. They're generous, as they should be, with the tartar sauce, and the malt vinegar as well. They seem to have expanded their wine list, and they have a good selection of beers on tap (including cask beer and nitro, and plenty of cans as well), but do you really need anything other than a pint of Guinness?

The food here was good. The french onion soup is exactly what I needed on this particular rainy day. The fish and chips was a shared plate and it went well with my soup. The fergie fries also hit the spot.I forget which drinks we got but the left was a lager and the right was an IPA. enjoyed both of these.Waiter was also kind and patient with us. I initially ordered a sandwich but grabbed him last minute to swap for the onion soup. The inside creates a cozy vibe with dark interior and candles.

Went for Trivia Tuesday and had a blast. The staff were super quick and friendly despite having to handle a large amount of tables, really appreciated them!! Large beer selection with some nonalcoholic options as well. Highlight for me was the Giant Pretzel - it was indeed giant and incredibly tasty.

Fergie's Pub is exactly what you need it to be. We went on Sunday afternoon craving some bar food and were not disappointed - we ordered a burger, wrap, tater tots, fried pickles, and cheesesteak egg rolls, and everything was fantastic. Nice enough interior. I see some nights it gets really crowded which seems fun. Will need to come back for drinks after enjoying the food!

We stopped in here after seeing a show. What a Surprise! Server was great! Creamy bacon Mac and cheese, HUGE pretzel to die for, tater tots, salad and more! Everything was delicious! So glad we found this little nugget in Philly!!

I rarely write bad reviews but I need to do so here. My review solely focuses on the food. I had no issue with the ambience or the service.I recently purchased the seitan chicken wings and Fish and Chips. After the experience I question whether this pub has a deep fryer.The fish was not at all crispy and appear microwaved. Likewise the fries were soggy.I've had seitan wings at many establishments in Philly and these were easily the worst I had. They appeared to be square rehydrated nuggets that were not remotely crispy and were covered with buffalo sauce. Bottom line is this might be a fun place to get a beer but the effort they put into the food is shameful.

I never write reviews but felt like I had to today because this place so greatly disappointed me last night.I went on a Friday night because I wanted to go to the live band karaoke. It didn't start until 9pm, but I got there at 7pm just to get some food, have a few drinks, and chill for a little bit downstairs before going upstairs where the karaoke was happening. I was one of the first people upstairs for live band karaoke in a room that gets packed. I wanted to sing, so I signed up on a piece of paper and put it in the pile with the rest of the requests.After about an hour and a half around 10:30, I still hadn't heard my name get called which was weird because I was one of the first people to sign up. I went up to the karaoke host stand and asked to see if the paper with my request was still in the queue because something seemed off. It wasn't there. I don't know what happened, but it wasn't there. Whatever. I don't know what happened, but it wasn't a big deal. I told the host, Aly, my paper wasn't there anymore and that I needed to sign up again, so I did. I even tipped the band to move up my spot in the queue because Aly was letting people who tipped the band sing before people who hadn't. There were only 8 people in front of me, too, so even if she didn't move me up in the queue, I figured I'd go on in about 30 minutes.After the second set from the band, I still hadn't been called. In between the second and final set, Aly asked the people who were still there and had filled out a song request slip to come see her and make sure you put your paper slip on her computer so she would call on you. I did that.Live band karaoke ended at 1am. After being in the bar since 7pm and at karaoke since it started at 9pm, my name never got called. To recap, I filled out 2 song requests because it seemed like something happened to the 1st one, I tipped the band, I didn't bother anyone, and I never got called. Shame on Aly and the folks at Fergie's. I can't believe I was there for 6 hours and was just blatantly ignored. I honestly think it was intentional that they didn't let me sing. I've never said this before, but it could have been discrimination. I left there furious.If you want to sing karaoke, save your money and go somewhere else. Don't go to Fergie's. Don't let Aly the karaoke host ruin your night. I will never go back and spend another cent at this place that decided to ignore me and not let me sing.
