Review 2nd Story Brewing Co. - Philadelphia

Pretty good service and food. I ordered the pretzels and dipping fondue, the fondue was amazing!!! I was even able to substitute it for the mustard with no charge. Our waitress was very understanding and did her best to make sure we were comfortable especially when I weirdly got my food before my other two friends did. Hot toddy is so good and smooth!

What a find. Excellent brews. We liked the Persuader IPA, the Declaration, The Daisy Point Pilsner. Fundido appetizer was yummy. Burgers were on point. Fish and chips is fantastic. I found the prices to be reasonable, especially compared to other local establishments. 32oz and 74oz growlers available Highly recommend, worth a visit.

Only went to the first floor but think it is also pretty good. Ridiculous portion sizes and menu has no bad choices. Chicken burger is excellent as is the selection of beers. Also have afternoon happy hour

Very cool place! We popped in here for a drink after dinner. The atmosphere was awesome, lively but relaxed. The bar tenders were attentive and friendly. Highly recommend the cider they had on tap!

This was my first time going out to 2nd story brewing and I really enjoyed it here. They brew some really good, and different types of beer here. I had a dark beer called the city is burning, with really nice smokey notes. They also had pretty good food. I wasn't very hungry and just had the chips with spicy chicken queso, which was really good, I think they make their own chips. My cousins had the 3 hotdogs, and the ratatouille, and their plates speak for themselves! Will definitely go back to try more of their beers.

Great location! Excellent beer!! Nice ambiance! Cannot go wrong hanging out in this spot!! Tried one appetizer and it was mind blowing!!
Denise Montgomery
Dinner was good. The waitstaff worked hard. Beer was good. The pretzels were good. The salad on the grilled cheese side was delicious. I could eat that all day. Shannon had the fish and chips. It was good. I would order that again.
David Tran
The beer is pretty good and the wings were great and really spicy. We had attentive service despite it being busy. Love the big space and decor

Second story has a rotating selection of delicious brews. In addition they have a great food menu that pairs well with the beer. The laid back atmosphere and unisex restrooms make this a great spot downtown to catch lunch or happy hour with coworkers or some friends.

2nd Story has a large space, and a really nice variety of beer. Two of those beers had edible glitter! I got the brewer's flight and especially liked Mi Amor. The pretzels and tacos were good.
Tyler Devan
Really cool place with great beer. Interesting to see a brewery with all of the equipment upstairs. Did not have the food, but the menu looked delicious. Recommend the kolsch beer!
Larry Williams

Bill Gurden
Excellent brewery and very cool setting. Glad I stopped in today and already looking forward to going back.

2nd Story is a great place to grab a few drinks and some food. Staff is always pleasant, location is in the heart of Old City and the style and decor of the location is cool. Great craft beers on tap or grab a growler to go!
David Harper
One of my favorite breweries in all of Philly! Amazing food options, and wide selection of beer styles that rotate depending on what has been brewed. Always clean, and very friendly bar staff.
Michael Richardson
Friendly staff. I loved the poutine and would have done a few more flights. Great location in the heart of the historic district.

Very good brewery tried some of there beer when I was last in Philadelphia. Adsultim IIPA and Old City is Burning were my two favorite on tap at the time both were great. I grabbed the arancini for a snack while I was here it it was so delicious.
Ryan Wilson
Great beer and great food. A brew for every palate. Fantastic presentation and friendly staff.

The highlight of our visit was the friendly bouncer. After we were sat, we bad to wait over 10 minutes for our server to even acknowledge us. When she came over, she had such a bad attitude and treated us like we were inconveniencing her. Took over an hour for our food to come. Food was good but nothing exemplary. We had to wait a long time for the check. Overall, very disappointing experience and won't be back. It's a shame, this place has the potential to be great (awesome location, good food), but the staff will be their undoing.
Darin Williams
Visited here based on word of mouth...great service and great beer. We only had beer, no food. The growlers were very reasonably priced. A must do if you're in Philly and like beer!

We were ignored for the first 15 minutes. The place had a good crowd, but nothing I would consider as "busy". When the server came over, we placed orders for drinks, app, and entrees. Beer took 10 minutes to be brought to us. After 20 more minutes, we asked politely when our food was coming out. We were told there was "a slam of orders put in at the same time" and ordered a second beer. Manager came over and said our food order wasn't put in, but they just started cooking it now and asked if we still wanted it. We said yes. Server came over about 10 minutes after asking for second beer and still hadn't received it, we asked where the second beer was. He said it would be out soon. Finally got the beer and when we got our food, it was room temperature. I would have expected it to be hot or at least warm if it was just made. Manager took the price of all food off the bill - which we greatly appreciated. HOWEVER, when we paid cash for our bill, the change should have been $1.25. The server threw our change down on the table and said "here's your dollar" (25 cents short of correct change). Didn't thank us for coming in or even make eye contact. We were polite and patient the whole time despite being ignored and forgotten about. Can't say I would return.

Tried 2nd story brewery for first time today for lunch. Sex on Delaware and Declaration IPA were my 2 choices and both excellent. Menu also made my choice for a burger very easy. Highly recommend this brewing company/ restaurant a great choice for a tasty burger along with a brew for lunch. 2nd story imo don't change a thing!!!
Jack Thomas
Absolutely loved our server, wish I could remember his name but I can't. We were a party of 13 and he took very good care of us and kept all our food and drink orders straight. The food was very good, the beers were excellent. The only negative was that the background music was some kind of hip-hop gangsta wannabe music, it sucked. I can only assume there was no management present.
Courtney Peoples
My fiance and I decided to our engagement photos and this amazing venue. Kristen and Anthony were more than welcoming and accommodating. Our photos came out awesome and would recommend this place to anyone whether it be for a photo shoot, great food or amazing beer!!!
Mariette Corcoran
Great beer selection, one of the best meals I've had in awhile! Pretzel bites, then shrimp blt... Great server! Cool atmosphere!
Kevin Reeves
Good food and beer. Bartender was very nice. Would recommend stopping in, if you are in the area.
Aaron C Cook
Great food, great beer selection, excellent service, highly recommend. We will definitely be going back, next time in town.
Susan Davis Albert
We were in the area for a few days. It's worth the short walk from independence hall. We liked it so much, went back the second night. Pretzel balls were great and we loved the asparagus bacon flatbread. Must have.. independence IPA.

Good place, decent music and good food. Loved the pretzels and the cheese fritatas.
Michelle Ranck Koons
We happened on this place (based on good reviews) when our first choice for dinner was closed. We were very pleased. We ordered 2 appetizers which came very fast, were generous portions for the three of us to share and were tasty. The sandwiches-chicken and grilled cheese were awesome and the scallops on scallops was as delicious as it sounded! The beers we had were wonderful! Staff was professional, attentive and friendly. We were glad for the recommendations!

Ran into this by chance, while visiting Philadelphia with my wife. Beautifully decorated and spacious, great beer on tap and very tasty food. We'll certainly pay another visit next time we're in Philadelphia :)
Scott Ranck
I loved the whole atmosphere of the place! They have the best craft brewer in town!
