Pier Bar

Great cocktails for happy hour!Went here on a nice summer day for their happy hour! Cocktails are $8.25 and I got the bite back which is a spicy mango margarita. It was the perfect blend of spicy and sweet with a good amount of tequila in it! My fiance got a beer and we were super excited they had one of our favorite German beers on tap (Konig Ludwig Hefe) for $6.50. The service was excellent and the waiter (Kevin) even checked in with us right before happy hour ended. They have a nice patio with lots of tables which is great for sitting out for happy hour on a nice day!

Situated on the finest corner Fairmount has to offer, Pier Bar clearly makes the neighborhood more lively and elegant with its outdoor strung lights, abundant seating, and classy facade. Inside, the space is intimate, with dim lighting, and a modern touch. The service and the food are both pretty good. It isn't exactly a "value" restaurant where you get a ton of delicious food for a low price (always the ideal), but it is a nice space for a date night or just a random outing with friends. I would certainly take family here, particularly given the nice outside experience. Brussel Sprouts - Tender brussel sprouts with a sauce similar to balsamic vinaigrette and fried onions -- very tasty. Would recommend these, but we were really going for the shishito peppers which were unfortunately out of stock -- not a bad substitution. Cheese Burger - A pretty good burger with amazing fries. The burger was well put together, though I wish it had more cheese. It was tasty, but a little dry for a "medium" cook. I would give it another try. The fries were so crunchy and well-seasoned; they were delicious.Value: 3/5Quality: 4/5Quantity: 4/5Service: 4/5Atmosphere: 5/5

Came for happy hour! Got fries and they were crispy and hot. Drinks were cheap since it was happy hour but the cocktails were good. Would definitely come again

This is a great place to go for happy hour especially when it's warm out. It's right on Fairmount Ave (which I always love since everyone's out and about and the vibes are here great!) I enjoyed both my drinks and the food, and our waiter even gave us a free ricotta and bread since apparently they made extra! Overall i would definitely come back here to try more items on the menu.

I came for happy hour and got the Dark Stormy, friends, a burger, and cheesesteak egg rolls.The Dark Stormy was really tasting and refreshing. The fries were cooked perfectly and were crispy. The burger was juicy but bland even with salt and pepper. The egg rolls had too much spice in it, maybe too much black pepper. The egg rolls didn't have enough filling for me, too much excess wrapper. The cheese sauce had too much spice in it too. This place is dim and intimate. The service was excellent.

I've been a few times, and the food is so fresh and delicious! A super fun vibe with outdoor seating, and when the weather is nice they open the windows so it feels like you're outside even if you're in the restaurant. I had some incredible brussel sprouts with a soy vinaigrette in the winter, but then couldn't get it again in the summer because the brussel sprouts weren't in season, so it's really nice to know the menu rotates and is kept fresh. In summer, I really recommend the watermelon feta salad. I also love the mussels in white wine sauce. I would definitely recommend for a fun casual vibe, with good fresh food!

Already came back for dinner and I can confirm that the food, service and vibes are consistent. Prices are very reasonable as well! This time we ordered the white mussels, shrimp tacos and soft shell crab sandwich. We preferred the red over white mussels, but this was still super flavorful and fresh.Shrimp tacos were outstanding and the soft shell crab sandwich was filling and had a nice kick to it. Fries that were paired with it was so addicting. This restaurant is lively at night with a great selection of music. Highly recommend this place!

Had a chance to visit after the recently reopened. We came during happy hour, and I was happy to see that they had a good variety of happy hour drink and food options. We ordered a combination of items off the happy hour and regular food menu including the clam strips, clam chowder, tuna poke, and mussels. Everything was affordable and tasty. We had gotten the happy hour portion of the clam strips (good portion of food) but could easily have eaten more. Not because they don't give you enough, but because they are so good!I liked everything we ordered and service was great and attentive.

Only heard bad reviews on this place from people who live in the area but still decided to give it a try. Had the whole happy hour menu and it was just okay. I didn't really enjoy their oysters

One of our favorite neighborhood spots. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The clam strips are one of my favorite dishes. We always get them, tuna poke, the halloumi, and mahi mahi tacos are also on our regular rotation. The entire vibe of the place is great.
