Source Urban Brewery

When it comes to ordering good food while traversing the Fishtown brewery trail, Source definitely sources some of the best options out there. And it delivers a fantastic well-rounded selection of beers in the process!I first enjoyed and saw promise for the space when it housed the short-lived Fishtown BrewPub (https://www.yelp.com/biz/fishtown-brewpub-philadelphia). But despite not making it for the long term it was a great spot for a brewery that didn't brew on-site and needed a kitchen space. And since picking it up Source made it there own right down to having an Amberella GothHeart mural as their centerpiece.Small plates include an awesome pork roll and cheddar filed pretzel, fried garlic onion pickles with spicy aioli, and party wings in an abundance of styles and spice levels. For mains, sammiches are on the menu, and my favorites are the Philly Cuban and the BBQ Mac & Beer Cheese sandwich.The beer is the main reason to go here, andthe menu is one of those that is absolutely not oversaturated with IPAs even though they have some good ones. in the past I've enjoyed a plentiful selection of pickle beers, pastry stouts, tart fruit ales, Belgian tripels, yuzu wheat beers, imperial coffee stouts, triple dry hopped ipas, maibocks, and then some! While they don't do flights, you can get those beers served in different pour sizes to really expand upon that variety.

A great brewery with a good food menu. Loved the smash burger and the fries. My party got the 3 different chicken sandwiches and all of them loved their choices. Service is quick and lovely staff. It's a lil on the pricey side for a brewery so be aware of that before going.

Fantastic brews and good food. I stop by Source every time I'm in the city and the bartenders are always knowledgeable and willing to give samples of everything on tap. Definitely make this a visit when you are in the area as their menu is always changing.

Drinks (seasonal beer and cider) were great. Seasonal beer was elf something and as a non-beer drinker (read: hates the taste of hops) it was pleasant and I would have taken another sip. The cider, although not made in house, was a Hale and True Cider that was drier and very nice. I wanted the food to be better but was no means bad. Service was great, we had some confusion on the bill but they sorted it out and were super nice about it. I would definitely come back here and would recommend.

Been here a couple more times, it's a nice spot. Going to raise up to a 5er. Good selection and kitchen a bit quicker sometimes since last few times I've been here. Love the pork roll and staff great. Thanks

We loved the vibe of this spot. The beers were so good and there was a lot of variety for higher-abv beers. We ordered the smash burger and the kimchi fries. Both were delicious. The bartenders were very sweet.

Source is the perfect place to visit as a Fishtowner or an out of towner- reasonably priced, yummy comfort food, excellent selection of beers and chill atmosphere. The service is on point- friendly and quick. Don't sleep on the brunch!

Pretty solid place to grab a beer. We were visiting friends in Philly and came here after work. There was something everyone and we really enjoyed our experience.

AMAZING place for food and drinks in Fishtown!! I've been here more than a few times already and have brought friends from out of town when we check out this area. Parking of course is street parking so can be a pain in this areaFOODFirst off their food is amazing!! Their double fried wings... MUST GET! You get 4 HUGE wings... extra crispy with great flavors. Be prepared to get messy tho. They've got a nice selection for their charcuterie boards, small plates and large plate options. I've never had enough room to try their desserts tho.. I will make that a goal next time!DrinksAlways love their rotating tap menu... I'm glad this location popped up because I have not yet gone to their New Jersey brewery location, but with this place being closer, I get to try some of their unique brews without the travel. My only negative is that depending on the time you go, service is always a bit on the slower side. Sometimes walking in, it's that awkward part where you're like "do i seat myself" or "do I keep waiting while other people stare at me". My most recent time, we sat ourselves in one of the booths, and then was moved to the bar because they didn't keep track of their online reservations and forgot to save these seats. Oh well!Worth checking out... you won't be disappointed in their food!

Someone told me "Check out Source Brewery, they have a really good turkey sandwhich!" And that made me sus, simply because it's not my preference to eat a turkey sandwhich for dinner.Source caters "Pennsylvania Chic," the atmosphere, the beers, the food, is all fine. I'm not the right customer for their business. I ordered a PB chocolate stout and Source of Wit beers. The stout was underwhelming in flavor. First, it tasted like a porter. Second, it didn't provide a rich chocolate & peanut butter flavor that other stouts of the same kind provide. The aroma was better than the beer. Maybe it was a bad batch.Source of Wit is a solid wheat beer, but it didn't taste any special compared to an Allagash White. It's just fresher in flavor. I thought it was over priced for the quality.Same with the food, over priced for the quality. I ordered the Ruben and the truffle fries. For the Ruben, it would have been better if it was served on a smaller plate Lolol. The portion is so little for what you're paying. It was a good Ruben sandwhich though! The meat was nicely salted and tasted smoked. The slaw provided crunch, but didn't add on to the flavor. I wish the sandwhich was served on a sourdough or something other than wheat bread. I think the sandwhich needed a little more acid somewhere to break the fatty meat. The truffle fries could have been topped with more toppings like cheese or truffle. The fry thickness to topping ratio is like 5:1. And the truffle looked like it was squeezed out from a tube. Source Brewing serves upscale Pennsylvania style foods and drinks. It not my cup of tea, I don't plan on coming back.
