Saint Lazarus

Such a cute little dive bar! I came for a nightcap after a night out in Fishtown and was so stoked on this gem. The interior is dark with cool nicknacks. At night the DJ plays R&B, dance, and rap - and there's a dance floor in the back to get your groove on. Don't expect a fancy cocktail menu here, but they have well cocktails, beer, and seltzers. I don't believe they serve food. This is a great place to come for an intimate, fun date, a get together with a small group of friends, or to wind down your night with somebody special. I'll definitely come back here on my next trip to Philly.

Looking for a night of fun, good music, decent drinks, and crowd, this is the spot. I've been to Saint plenty of times with a group of my friends to celebrate their birthdays.Each time I arrived at ~9pm or 10pm and the place is packed. The DJs playing the best hip hop & R&B. The crowd is very mixed and drinks are flying out of the bar. The bartenders are fast and it's a purely cash experience. An ATM is available for those that need cash. There is also the second level that opens with another DJ and bar later in the night, which also gets packed.I give this place 5 stars because they give you exactly what you come for but no frills which makes it an experience!

A friend finally got me outside to party cause I love being on the couch with a good movie and takeout if I'm not going out to eat. Lol I was slightly deceived by photos as I assumed this space was larger, but it was cool. Felt like a spot I would have thoroughly enjoyed during undergrad, but was still enjoyable for the evening we wanted as the DJ played a lot of 90s R&B, 90s/00s hip hop and reggae... Be strategic about your spot at the bar cause I waited a while for drinks even when some people walked up after me just because of proximity/location. But I got to dance a little, and enjoy a night with friends, so wasn't too bad.

Perfect whole in the wall. The drinks are strong and the music is always good. I love it here. I come here all the time and I bring all my friends. The bar tender Ben is cool and the security outside always checks bags and ID! It is very tight in here, very small dance floor. This is a whole in the wall. The vibe is very casual. Thursday-Saturday are all great days to go.

This quirky bar with its fun decor, colors and lights is the best of both worlds. Come here during the earlier hours it's a Quiet, and laidback dive bar. You can always get a seat at the bar and service is quick. Drinks are prices pretty much the same as other bars in the area. Perfect for starting the night off in Fishtown. Later, after you've circled through the other bars in the area, come back here to find the the music gets louder and the place gets filled up. Despite the small siz Everyone Come here to dance for hours and listen to great music. Plus there's no cover for ladies! And don't forget to stop by around the corner outside. They have a take out window! Pick up some great tasting tacos to get you though the night.Parking here is also pretty easy.

I'm giving this bar a 2 star rating because I got immensely sick after one ONE DRINK here. I came here hoping to love it. It seemed a bit mysterious and quirky. Not a ton of info about it online. Upon entering I was digging it. Interestingly decorated. They have fish bowl drinks. Bartenders were friendly enough. But then I had one drink and though I felt fine at the time, about 20 minutes later was sick as a dog. Like maybe the sickest I've ever been from drinking...except I only had the one drink. I ended up having to ditch my plans for the rest of the night and go home. Not sure if my drink was drugged, or this drink was just INSANELY strong or what, but I am hesitant to ever go back.

Kinda divey, kinda funky, kinda small. The walls are adorned with the most eclectic works of art. It's the kind of place where you notice something new every time you do a visual sweep of the bar. No shortage of seating when my friend and I wandered in here on a rainy Friday night. We were searching for some cheap dinner and discovered the Yelp reviews for Saint Lazarus - and I'm so glad we did!This dim lit hangout was the perfect combination of cheap drinks, good food, and local vibes. I ordered the steak tacos - 3 massive, packed tacos for $7. I come from Austin, the home of America's best tacos, and Saint Lazarus didn't let me down. The steak was tender and well seasoned. I was stuffed after two tacos, but I managed to scarf all three. There were at least three people who came and picked up to-go orders, and that's always a good sign that the food is good. Don't be fooled by the dive bar vibe, the food is slamming. There are also vegetarian options available. My friend ordered a cheese and veggie quesadilla, and was super happy with her order. Food was made fresh and delivered quickly. This is definitely a great place to grab a drink and a taco or three. I'd come back, for sure.

It's a 50/50 shot: you either come to the Saint and get the most deliciously ratchet, wild, outrageously fun tiny dance floor in the whole city, or you get nothing at all. Head there later in the night for best results - because if you hit, you hit. The Saint can be a freaking blast. Bartenders are friendly, decor is quirky. Neon everywhere! DJs are hit or miss: I've seen some amazing local talent spinning here, but also bland hip hop from MacBook jockeys. Fair warning: definitely witnessed two major bar fights here in the handful of times I've gone. The crowds do get a little out-of-pocket. Always makes for a wild show though.....All that said, the Saint is *definitely* interesting. Take your chances and check it out yourself.

Sucks. Wouldn't recommend. Super rude bouncer. $10 for guys which is weird because everywhere else is free. I walked through and it's very small. Not very packed at all. I could never. Don't do it.

I've been here on multiple Tuesdays, probably the most popping place you could find. Nice upstairs, good music and drinks. The playlists don't change up much for each party though, but there are always lots of people to dance with and plenty of interesting conversations. Pretty small, hard to squeeze in on some nights.
