Knock Restaurant And Bar - Philadelphia

They have THE BEST, chicken tenders and honey mustard in the Philadelphia area. My go to spot whenever I’m in town. Can’t wait to visit soon!

Very wonderful service, comfortable dinning, and the foods were 'delish '!

I absolutely adore this place. While there are many bars in the gay neighborhood, very few are able to make a good drink. Venture Inn used to be one of those before it closed down. Knock, on the other hand, serves a fantastic martini. It would feel odd getting a martini at the other bars. Additionally, they have the finest selection of liquors. To my knowledge, they are the only bar that offers Plymouth gin. I can't recall the exact brand of vermouth they use (might be Dolin), but it's of good quality. I always make sure to visit Knock for a drink on special occasions. The food is also exceptional, although it's been some time since I tried anything besides a martini. It's especially enjoyable during pride season as the crowd is more mature and you can enjoy your drink in a real glass. I even have a favorite spot in the bar - the little round table by the door.

I called to inform the manager, Howard, of our experience and he responded with extreme rudeness and was disrespectful throughout the conversation. He even hung up on me twice before shouting at me on the third call, which I recorded and reported to the authorities as it was highly unprofessional. I have never had such a horrible experience in my life, and my family owns a well-respected restaurant chain where we would never treat a customer in such a manner. This is not how a business should be run, the customer should always be valued and listened to, regardless of when the complaint is made. Howard laughed at me and said I had waited too long after our visit to raise the issue. I explained that I was trying to find the receipt, as most companies require an order number. It is clear that this guy is very inexperienced and needs to be reported for his unprofessional behavior. I am completely appalled by this experience. Lastly, this business is clearly biased towards women, as they are treated poorly and feel unwelcome. Do not waste your time here, as it appears only homosexual men are accepted at this establishment. Absolutely disgraceful!

The menu and food at this restaurant are average for American cuisine, but there is nothing exceptional about it. The decor is plain, with a dark wood finish. The menu offers a variety of options, but nothing stands out as unique. My fish was slightly overcooked. They only provide one roll of bread per person, and ours were stale (even though it was only 7:00 in the evening). The staff was polite, but I would not recommend this restaurant to others.
