Graffiti Bar

Graffiti Bar in Philly is one of my favorites, especially if you're a fan of Michael Schulson's culinary magic. Tucked away behind a graffiti walkway, the journey to the bar is half the fun. The bar itself is intimate, with a laid-back vibe. You also get access to Sampan's menu. The edamame dumplings might be the best thing on earth. These little pockets of heaven are packed with yummy creamy edamame goodness.

Such a fun bar! Get there early to get a seat and enjoy a great happy hour! Favorites: Beef Satay and Chicken wings! And the mini ice cream cones are perfect. Great prices, great food, great vibes!

One of my favorite bars I've been to recently! I split a scorpion bowl with a friend and it was delicious and such a bargain during happy hour! I got another drink after that was equally as delicious. The food was also incredible as we got bao buns, sliders, fried rice, and the brussel sprouts. It's a beautiful little space with great light, AC, and a very well decorated and functional layout. We will be back!

The entrance of Graffiti Bar is tucked away in a little alleyway, but don't let the unassuming entrance fool you. This is one of my favorite bar spots in Philly! Upon entering, you're transported into a small, speakeasy style bar with an excellent drink selection and great company. It's connected to Sampan, but seems entirely separate from that experience. Josh, one of the bartenders was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about drinks and when I wasn't sure what drink to order, he suggested one that I thoroughly enjoyed and would definitely order again! The company at graffiti is also awesome and we had a great end to our night out. Will definitely be returning!

Almost 4 stars just because this was a little hard to find (went into Sampan first )Came for happy hour on a Saturday. Very busy but managed to find a great corner spot at the bar for the four of us. Loud music Crab Rangoon was a small portion, but the best I've ever had.Scorpion Bowl was well worth the $25, but sadly was not in a bowl (more like a Vase).

Good drinks, good food (from sampan), and good ambiance. The food comes relatively quick but the drinks take a bit if there's a lot of people at the bar. The Kantoi road drink is my favorite, it's basically just a spicy margarita. Their drink special of the day however....yeah i'd pass on that. It was an iced tea type of drink but lowkey tasted like sewer water and wasn't worth the $5 that it was. I'd just stick with the house wine if I was drinking on a budget there The place gets crowded pretty early so if you want a seat I suggest getting there ahead of the happy hour crowd. Everything else is really good though and I'll definitely be coming back!

Best happy hour in the city? 100% hands down. The drink specials are great but the food specials are better! The banh mi is my favorite, and so is the kimchi fried rice (ate too quick to snap a pic). It's my favorite go to for food and drinks without a doubt.

This is a semi hidden popular backyard bar. The service started scary cause I was an outsider who didn't know the proper etiquette of Philly bars. Once I had a drink though, Amanda the bartender was amazing. Ran into two girls who also were running solo and learned some new connections and Amanda made all of our nights. Went through some of the happy hour food menu, the potstickers, albeit overpriced iny eye, we're still very delicious. The satay and brussel sprout were great. The sliders, I can def say it's a standard slider, no specials. The drinks and Amanda's attitude were amazing. I appreciated the service for an outsider and hope all the locals and visitors come support.

We had a great time in the outdoor bar area behind graffiti bar, after we braved the alleyway. The space is well decorated and the bar provides a lot of space for an average night. On Friday it was a little too crowded so you'll want to play that by ear, but we still found places to stand and enjoy our drinks. The beers are as described - crisp, sunshine-y, etc. and the cocktails are beautifully presented, and my friends said they were quite tasty. We did not try any of the food, but inside, the restaurant has a great vibe and seems chic. When I'm back in the city, I'll definitely head back.

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.
