Reviews for a.bar in Philadelphia, PA
Pathetic doormen who would not permit my adult daughter and myself to even enter the foyer last night while being harassed by... aggressive homeless man They informed us bar was crowded and try back in 30 minutes. We were just stopping in for a glass ofwine after attending Academy of Music. I will never ever patronize this establishment nor would my daughter and friends everagain. Poor excuse for door security and making women feel unsafe. No police presence anywhere in Rittenhouse at all. The cityis going down the gutter and nothing is being done and this establishment is heading there as well. Shame on you. Read more
This is a cozy, great place. We tried the cocktails and they were great, refined. Staff is very friendly! Great place where we... started our vacation with the birthday of our niece ???????? Read more
A relaxed place to have a few drinks and decompress from the craziness outside. I would recommend this place if you don't mind... paying a little more for regular drinks but are there for the ambiance Read more
Not thrilled. Crammed space with very little atmosphere. I ordered a dirty bluecoat martini and the glass was smudged and the... olive was wrinkly/old? Service was fine. Read more
Myself and my friend stopped in for an espresso martini since we were told they?re the best in the area. When we walked in I... walked over to the bartender to order. I was brushed off by the bartender and was told ?the server will get your order? and hewalked off. He barely made eye contact with me and his tone almost caused me to walk back out. It was pretty rude. I alsopreferred to sit at the bar. Our server seated us at a table in the back. Took our order and came back with our drinks. Themartini was absolutely amazing. But the service lacked. As our drinks were getting low, no one came over to ask if we?d likeanother. I asked another bartender about dessert and was met with the same bothersome brush off. After wrapping up with ourdrinks we waited hoping someone would over to see if we needed anything or at least the check. No one did so I asked for it. Themartini was perfect and the least expensive out of the places I?ve been to in Philadelphia but the service will keep me fromreturning. Read more
A fabulous bar with a great view on the corner facing Rittenhouse Square. Delicious food ,perfect cocktails, and a very hip... design style inside. I would describe it as industrial and sexy. Highly recommended! Read more
a.bar is doing something with cocktails that no other bar is doing in Philadelphia. The service is always great and the bar... staff could not be friendlier. This is a place for cocktail lovers. Trust their menu, even if you don?t recognize theingredients. Read more
If I could give it 10 stars I would. Drinks are great, but the food is off the charts. Best oysters I've ever had!
