Noche Philly

I saw some pictures and was quite impressed by the elaborate cocktails and had to come here. Their ideology is to provide an immersive drink experience and I was quite intrigued and excited to try it out. I tried the "Devil went down to Jalisco" from their NoChe Signature menu and "Black Cucumber G&T" from their Classics reimagined section. The signature drink was delicious but I was confused by the claims they make on their website: "NoChe's cocktail board, which are partially completed table side, will allow guests to be a part of the process allowing an inside glimpse into the cool effects that go along with them.". None of our drinks involved a multi-step process. They were both prepared at the bar and served us at our table. Period.For food, we tried the "Tuna in Curry oil", which was pretty good - bunch of olives, pickles, garlic butter, sourdough and tuna in a can - although very mild hint of the aforementioned curry oil. The biggest shock was the bill, there is a liquor tax, sales tax and a "Employee Benefit fee". Hello!! The owners should be responsible to take care of the employee, not the patrons. As patrons, we do our part by giving an 18%-20% tip for the service which is quite generous and should be enough in my opinion. On top of that, we are not expected to pay an additional the employee benefit fee? Nope, doesn't make sense to me! This blatant exploitation of the consumer is getting too far out of hand and for this sole reason I will not be returning.

For a high quality cocktail in a classy setting in the heart of Philly, Noche is a great choice!I ordered this drink and it was show watching the server build it at my table:Campfire Old Fashioned - Bacon Washed Makers 46 Bourbon, Maple, Smoked Chilli Bitters, Torched CinnamonPhiladelphia goes hard with the fancy cocktails so if you're into that, then you must check this bar out. The price tag is worth the atmosphere and craft.

Tasty cocktails but a bit over the top. They are trying to give off high brow establishment in a footprint that doesn't work. The aesthetics and vibe are off, and the music and velvet couches seem forced. They also get creative with dry ice and smoke, which is nice, but when done at the table by the staff, it is a bit "clunky". The Padrino and Sip Happens are both very very good flavor-wise. Sip Happens was my favorite of the two as a tequila based espresso martini.Exceptionally high prices at $21-22 cocktails and $12-20 beers

WARNING!!!! I came to this establishment on Friday, January 26th, as I had made a reservation for after dinner drinks via Resy. After going up the stairs, was informed by the server as as of this date, they had become a low end sports bar and were no longer offering the craft cocktails advertised on their website. Also, it was obvious that all traces of the previous high end cocktail establishment had been removed. To give you an idea of how bad things were, the only two beers listed on the menu were Bud and Bud light. The server specifically stated that no cocktails were offered. Therefore we just walked out and I informed Resy of the situation. Obviously the previous owners have vacated this business.

Stopped in for one quick drink. It is a beautiful bar! My friend ordered the octopus and it was ok. My drink, the Equinox, was delicious. This bar is a bit expensive but if you love cocktails and true mixologists, this is a place for you!

This might be one of my favorite new spots. The vibe is just great inside from the music to the bartenders. My friend and I walked right in without a reservation and got seats at the bar for a couple of drinks. Some of the drinks come with a great presentation that I took videos but unfortunately can't upload

Perfect end to the week calls for a night of libations and liberations ! Noche Philly is the perfect addition to the ever evolving food and beverage scene in downtown Philly. Noche Philly gives you the vibe of an exclusive speakeasy and high end bar n' bites spot. In all honesty I miss some of the OGs in the city like Jamonera. But Noche is much more and then some! I would definitely recommend making reservations, we arrived on time and were seated swiftly, in an elegant, low light cocktail lounge adorned with chandeliers and velvet chairs, Carly our server was super detailed and explained the menu to us. We decided to take her recommendations and I am glad we did. For food we ordered the fried monchego cheese, crispy potatoes, Gambas A la Pancha and the lamb meatballs. The food was definitely up to the standards. It's definitely a little pricey, but the effort that's put into making each drink is worth every penny.I am bringing all my out of town bougie buddies here!

Our second time here for wedding anniversary now. We had padrino, old fashioned, and the partridge. You want to get padrino! So good! Presentation of drinks is great--worth the price. Also, our server Carly was so sweet and presented us with a champagne toast for our anniversary! We definitely were pleasantly surprised!

Very friendly waitstaff was the highlight at noche! Not sure if this in typical, but drinks were half off for our 6:30 Rez and they gave us champagne on the house to celebrate! We tried most of the menu and all the bites were pretty good, but our favorite were the pictures charcuterie board, lamb meatballs, and chorizo arancini. Would be a great place for a first date--ambiance is dark and cozy. Note: You do need to go up a flight of stairs to enter the restaurant.

Wow, this place is NOTHING like the previous version of NoChe. It's more like a trashy club than an upscale cocktail bar now. Attended the "grand re-opening" on 2/9. We arrived before the official 8pm start time and ordered drinks. Paid $15 for small, poorly-made cocktails in plastic cups. They weren't even measured into the cups correctly because one was hilariously short and the other was just pitifully short. I understand that they were doing an open bar later in the evening, but for those paying full price prior to the official start time, they should have provided proper glassware. Typical DJ was playing typical club music. Bartenders were surly and made the already strange experience even more awkward. Five stars to the bar back (blond guy) who was scrambling the whole night to collect everyone's plastic garbage. I'd rather go next door to Drinker's if I want a dive bar experience
