1518 Grill - Philadelphia

We came here last night and had the BEST crab cake ever and the mussels were divine! The crab cake had hardly any filling, no shells and was awesome. The waitress was so friendly and informative. We loved it so much we came back in at 6:15pm tonight, Wednesday June 28th, for Sips bc we had such a great experience the night before. WOAH.....immediately the blonde, blue eyed female bartender snapped at my husband who was trying to find a seat. She literally screamed at him when he was trying to sit at the bar in the corner and he did not realize someone was sitting there and was in the bathroom. The gentleman who was waiting for his friend to come out of the bathroom said that we may sit down bc they were almost ready to leave. So we sat at the bar in the corner... The bartender again looked at me like she was about to murder me! She was furious that we sat down and was extremely rude, so I said this gentleman told us we can sit here and she huffed and puffed and stomped away. Ok, then I said hey!!!! (had to wave my hand bc she already stomped away), I need to speak to the manager please. FOUR TIMES I told her and she pretended not to hear me, sent the bar back over and I said to the manager who was really the Barback that she was rude and she screamed at us to leave now! The gentlemen beside us said she was also very rude to them. How disappointing. Great food, fun atmosphere, horrifically awful bartender. That was my exact experience. Just tried to call the owner, Willy, and was informed he was not available.

Cute pub tucked into center city. Small place, quaint. The drinks are DELICIOUS. Food was great too. Definitely a spot foe drinks with friends and a night out. Interesting Philly history and art on the walls too!

We love this place. Awesome food, nice, lively crowd, always busy but very good service. A great way to cap off a night at a concert, etc. Close to Rittenhouse Square hotels, easy walk.

Just went to this little gem on Friday 4/7/23 for lunch with my parents before we saw a show at the Miller Theater. Great place, loved our salads and burgers (we couldn’t finish our plates but it was delicious)! Pleasantly surprised that they had Golden Road Mango Cart Ale on tap too. Spoke with one of the owners, he was personable and friendly. Check this place out especially if you are going to a nearby show, it’s within walking distance. Also really enjoyed the photos and pictures of Philly on the walls.

We stopped by this bar/grill and we were not disappointed. Good service, plenty of choice on the menu and a wide selection of beers and other alcoholic drinks at a very reasonable price.
