Always a good time at Second District Brewing. The people are cool, the service is good, the food is good, and the beer is good, even the styles that lot of other breweries can’t handle. Please patronize this establishment, they deserve all the business they can get!

Dude, this place rocks. Love the ambiance. Love that I can get down with some vegan grub. Pretentiousness is non-existent! Bonus points for the great staff. Worth the crossing-of-the-bridge to visit from Jersey.

Frequent customer even though I live in NJ. Bancroft beer cans I miss! Big fan of Pet Pilsner, Bancroft, and most west coast ipas that they brew.
Been coming here since before Covid. During Covid there was no food allowed, and afterwards they had no staff to cook.
Currently with Chef Cali, food is a chef's kiss (so much better!) Mini Corn riblets are amazing!! The BLT special yes please. I still miss the pork cutlet sandwich with the spicy asian slaw, please bring it back along with the Turkey Jawn.
Cheers Kurt, Paul, Alex, Beth, Brent, Cameron, Cali and the Brewer!
Lastly the atmosphere with the punk and shoegaze music, and the one tv with philly sports games on it is key to loving this bar!

Solid selection of high quality craft beers made fresh with love.
Best fried chicken I've had since mama made it back in the day. Insanely crispy and tender. I say ok.

What a fun and impressive brewery. Clearly an popular place and lots of activity.
The decor is well done and welcoming. The various options for seating allows for big groups, solo seating at the bar and small tables for more intimate gatherings. The beer selection was good though our beers did not blow us away.
The service and the food did though. One of the best burger ever. The curly fries were fantastic. The staff are friendly and service is fast despite being busy. There are a few outdoor tables. We found parking on the street was easy. The area felt safe and clean. We were impressed overall. Though the beer could have better it could be we just made the wrong choices. We would return again.

Since before the pandemic, I always wanted to visit this place. I guess I had high expectations over the last 4 years. I finally visited Second District one midweek afternoon and totally surprised how each beer I consumed was better than the previous one. Started out with the Ostentatious Observer, Hazy boi IPA, followed by the Bancroft pale ale. All were 16 oz. and both were amazing beers. Next was a Dark Matter Indicator, a
smoked porter at 4.8% ABV, yet another amazing beer. Lastly, I ordered the Chadwick, 6% ABV, and the Bīru Bier, Japanese rice lager, which was very lite and really good. Ordered a Smashburger which was awesome and washed that down with the Pětite Pils, a very lite German pilsner. Overall, a very good afternoon.

The really good chicken fingers devours come from @seconddistrictbrewing . These chicken fingers are literally MADE TO ORDER! 😤🙌🏼 These chicken finger were sooo fresh and simply delicious. While here i also I had a Mutual Dream 🍺 which was very delicious and wasn’t too heavy. It had a really sweet taste and didn’t have any bad aftertaste. Have you ever find yourself wanting to have some really fresh fried foods please check out @seconddistrictbrewing and of course, let them know who sent you. #food #foodie #foodblogger #foodphotography #philadelphia #philly #chicken #water #beer #sixers #sixersnation #playoffs #hotsauce #honey

We visited Second District after getting Pho nearby and grabbing beers at another stop as well. What an awesome nightcap! There was a brief wait but we got seated quickly. The vibes inside were energetic and positive - a great atmosphere for beers and snacks.
Tried out the hot dog and chili fries, both of which were very good (although I'd recommend Second District consider a less salty hot dog/condiments.) Beers were exceptional all around, and I'd definitely come back to get something to take home too.
Highly recommend!

I was pleasantly surprised! Great beer selection and the food was delicious. Large portions and reasonably priced. A bunch of vegan options, and outdoor seating. Will definitely be returning!

Amazing atmosphere and really good vegan food and non-vegan as well. I tried two different kinds of craft beer and I was very impressed. The staff was very friendly and even though the place was crowded the service was awesome. I am definitely coming back very soon to this hiden gem in South Philly.
