Rotten Ralph's Pub & Eatery

A dive bar with tasty drink and food specials, and excellent service. Located in historic downtown Philly. We walked from our hotel, and we really enjoyed the cheesesteak egg rolls and cucumber caprese salad.

Decent dive bar in old city that's usually very busy on the weekends. They sometimes have their second floor open when it's busy. Could use a good cleaning inside. Have a few drafts on tap and some cocktails as well. Drinks are a bit pricey for a dive. For the food menu, they have a lot to choose from - smaller plates to a few sandwiches and such. Had the cheesesteak with fries which is $16 + $4 for fries, so $20 total before tax and tip for it didn't seem worth it. The quality was fine, but that's a bit much. Everything was all around just okay. Thanks

Stopped here for a quick drink before I went to dinner. Don't really understand the negative reviews. Hole in the wall with good drinks, several televisions, and a friendly bartender that knows what she is doing. What else could you ask for

I came at a quiet time looking for simplicity and adventure before strolling over to the Liberty Bell which in easy walking distance. The Philly Cheese Steak Eggs Rolls are definitely adventurous. The house salad was a tad bit more than I need. I opted for tonic water with lime but I suspect there is plenty of booze for my non-teetotaling friends. Five Stars all the way.

Small and decent bar in Philly, very less staff on the floor, an amazing bartender Ericka. The place seemed tiny with the bar filling up most of it, I think there are dining areas further inside but there is no one eating there. Everyone was at the bar. The only bar I went to in Philly that had someone check ID at the front door. We were there for drinks, had a few beers and an old fashioned, and Adios MF (custom made). The bar tender is really professional and friendly. She could make any drink you ask for. We also tried a couple of appetizers. Fries pickles and cheesesteak egg rolls, quantity size they are plenty and delicious. This place is a must try if you would like good drinks and light conversations at the bar.

Place is pretty chill for a dive bar. If Ericka or the manager is working behind the bar, you're guaranteed a good drink. The bartender on Monday nights is horrible. Food is decent.

Portions are huge. My grilled shrimp was served on a bed of rice. Too much rice as compared to shrimps. But a big bummer was due to the flies in the restaurant, maybe due to the heat. You had to constantly keep swatting it away. Not fun.

This place is dirty. Dust on the holiday decorations from the winter (its summer) and dust hanging all over it and over your food. They try to justify that a dirty drinking glass is ok, they don't have towels.Im sure the owner has something to say, but don't take my word - you can check this place out on Philly's health inspection site.They also offer Veterans discounts - wanna honor veterans? Serve them beverages in clean glasses.

This is a good spot to watch sports as they have many TVs. Only one person was working for the entire restaurant and she was definitely working hard! Come for the drinks, not for the food. Food was priced average for a dive bar but was pretty terrible. The fries were okay but a small serving. The smash burger was supposed to come out with two patties, lettuce, and tomato but came out on focaccia with one patty cut up. The chicken on the caesar salad was rank tasting (and cost$7 to add)- ended up taking it off. The flat bread pizza was not served on flat bread and we didn't finish it but didn't bother to take the leftovers to go. The first draft beer we ordered was warm and flat. Ended up ordering bottled beer which was indeed cold.

Food was awful. Most expensive and worst sandwich I have ever had. $19 for dry, ground beef patties between dry focaccia bread, which was twice the size of the patties. Never again.
