Grace Tavern

So it's taken me awhile to write this review cause I don't like to write bad reviews, but this experience keeps coming up in conversation and needs to be addressed. July 8, my bf and I went in for some mid day drinks and food. We had an aperol spritz and a glass of rosè to drink, ordered onions rings, tater tots, and a veggie burger with Swiss cheese, mushrooms and tomato and asked for a side of mayo. Well, the onions rings came out and looked like half an order and didn't even look like the picture that was listed on the menu, I would have never ordered them. The tater tots weren't even fully cooked, immediately fell apart and were mushy. And the veggie burger, oh the veggie burger, no tomato came on it so we asked the bartender who was also serving us for the tomato, he comes back from the kitchen with the tomato IN HIS HAND in parchment paper and handed it to me. LOL WHAT?! The side of mayo was not Mayo, it was butter. We put it alllll over our burger before we realized. The bartender, kept telling us no it's mayo, and we kept saying politely it was not and just wanted a side of mayo. He walked away from the table and said to his coworker very loudly and sarcastically us to hear "well I guess everyone's always right all the time." IT WAS BUTTER. He never even fixed the situation and brought us Mayo. We're in the industry, and I eat mayo like ketchup. I know mayo from butter. We asked for the bill and he tried to charge us for 2 bottles of rosè and when we pointed it out he said, oh I do that all the time. Let's just say we will never be back there.

My last last review of Grace was in 2015 and it's time for an update. I've been here a few times in 2023 and this neighborhood bar has really stepped up its game. The service is now outstanding, with friendly bartenders who make you feel welcome and serve great cocktails. The fireside chat is my personal favorite cocktail. You can still get a great bacon cheeseburger here, called the Tavern burger, cooked to temperature with the bacon covered in a generous portion of melted cheese. The chicken tenders are the best in the city, and pair perfectly with a bourbon mayo. I will get them every time I come here. If you live close by, Grace Tavern should be the neighborhood bar you frequent.

Best local dive bar in Philadelphia. The inside is dark which gives the amazing divey feel. This place has a good amount of space in their outdoor area which is next to a small fountain. The bartender offered fast service. I ended up getting an old fashion which was pretty good. The place also has a decent beer selection. The tipping jar was the most interesting part. I loved how they used a bottle. What a clever way of recycling.

Grace Tavern definitely served me the best burger I have ever had. Unpretentious local bar with great friendly staff, a pretty impressive looking menu, overall really enjoyed.

The outdoor dining lured me in, but honestly it was much worse than I could even expect. The service was very slow and the food was honestly not eatble. I threw out the majority of my meal. I got the grilled chicken sandwich, which was WAY too salty. The salad that came with it was also very plain and just leaves. Very disappointed by this since their outdoor space is so cute and in a great location.

By far the coolest most unique pub in the Rittenhouse area. Ask for a drink from the cold fridge. Don't expect anything other than a chill vibe. If you have the chance to be served by Ian, you got lucky. Ask for the green tea shot. Bring your friends, your first date, your husband, and - your kids can come too.

Been here twice; once at lunch, another time at dinner during quizzo. They have a decent beer and cocktail menu, and the staff are generally OK. The food is not advisable. Never had anything good. The fish in my fish and chips was decent, but the fries were nothing I'd ever seen before. I thought they were sweet potato fries, they were so dark, but no...just regular fries. Way overcooked, and very oily. The Niçoise salad was ok, but the tuna steak was a bit overcooked. Overall, good for drinks, not for food.

good vegan options and good vibes to watch eagles games! was fun but the food was average (my friends said the sandwiches were fine but the fried pickles/fries weren't great, buffalo cauliflower wings were really good!) . they had a decent beer selection!

Always get the fries with the mayo. You'll thank me later.It's a great spot for an easy meal and just to relax

The owner called me a "bitch" in front of everyone because I didn't tip due to her poor service. The burger I got was not fully cooked as well. 0/10, wouldn't recommen.
