Pitchers Pub

Decent place to hang out, kinda. Weak drinks, slow service, horrible lay out but TVs to watch the games if you want to stay local in manayunk.

Went in last night with a few of my friends, to start the bartender was great, she was beautiful and knew how to tend bar which is honestly something hard to find, I’ve worked in the industry for going on 6 years. At the end of the night, after 2 beers and shot, I attempted to tell my friend it was time to go while he was talking to a girl. He walked away, long story short, she had too much to drink and thought she heard me say something. She stands up and after being called a douchebag by her, I got fed up and told her that quote, «fat girls aren’t real people». The whole time while she is making a scene the bouncer did nothing to calm the situation. Page attempted to hit me and I moved and stood up, she missed, the bouncer then grabs me and throws me out of the bar, when I tell him I need to wait till my friends come out, he tries to get in my face, calls me vulgar names and tries to get me to fight him. When the name calling didn’t work, he tried to spit on me. I don’t recall any of that in my T.I.P.S training, if I was running Pitchers’ I would be looking for a new bouncer!

Great bar, cheap drinks, good food, now has the Big 10 network! What more can you ask for? We were searching for a bar in Manyunk that would show the Michigan football game, and after a few places didn’t have the channel, we stumbled across here. I would absolutely come here again.

This place is awesome for hanging out and drinking cheap beer… They also have dart boards in the back which is always fun. Do NOT order mixed drinks from Pitcher’s Pub, unless you are pregnant – the bartenders seem to take the approach less is more (not only when it comes to their clothing) with the amount of alcohol they use to mix…

Make sure if you stop by, you’re not a guy. Fat, gruff bartender is very protective of females sitting at the bar to the extent of driving away four paying customers on a double date. If you’re not loyal to this bar, head down to Lucky’s or Beast and Ale. They’re better bars, better food and better drinks. Theyre cleaner and better quality. The guy behind the bar is more interested in girls sitting at the bar to make a better presentation than what is really going on. If you wanna have a great night, don’t go to Pitchers.

Just a temporary review for now… better one to come later, but I honestly could not ask for a better bar on main street! Great tap selection, and a pretty good late night happy hour on Wednesdays. Combine that with quizzo and one of their best bartenders, Krystal, and you think you died and went to heaven. Staff is extremely friendly and you always have a good time… I can honestly say I’ve never had a bad experience there.

Pitchers is becoming a local classic on Main Street — great bar food, well priced drinks (esp during frequent specials) and their TV setup is great for watching games. Can’t ask much more from a small dive bar in Philly.

Great staff, great food, most beers in Manayunk. The fine young man working brought me a table on my request. Great Hair here

Typical dive bar– its a nice place to stop on main street for a cheap drink before or after dinner. They have a $ 5 draft beer deal on saturdays that is worth going for. Gets very crowded on Friday and Saturday nights standing room only at those times.

Amazing draft options! 30+ just on draft!
And the food (wings esp) so good!
This is my favorite place because I like the lowkey ambiance, jukebox and touchtunes. My boyfriend likes it bc of the abundant of huge tvs and beer options

Stopped in here on a Sunday to catch some football. Wasn’t really determined to go anywhere in particular, just happened to be the bar directly in front of the parking spot I was able to grab while in the area.
Bouncer and bartender were friendly. There is an ok draught selection, although I was just in a bud light sort of mood anyway. The bar itself is kind of divey.
There was at least one (and maybe two) dogs running around. I am a HUGE dog person, I love the few bars in the city that allow dogs, but when we first entered one of the dogs was sprawled out across the bar itself and at one point was being fed something off of the bar. Even as a dog freak, that was a little too much for me. I adore my dog, but you’ll never find her sitting on my kitchen counter or dinner table. Just gives the feeling that maybe hygiene isn’t the highest of priorities at this place.
Wouldn’t be totally opposed to returning in the future, but wasn’t anything special.

Wandered in this time in the midst of a mini-​pub crawl. It’s was a Saturday and pretty crowded. Had to say I enjoyed myself. It’s definitely a younger crowd, but no one was particularly rowdy.
This was a strictly liquid affair. I ordered Sierra Nevada which was reasonably priced at $ 5 They’ve added a lot of new taps on the bar. It’s a must go if you want good beer but don’t want a pretentious vibe

Went here last night with a friend mainly because we knew they had a great craft beer selection (which was true). We went around dinner time on q Friday night, and it had a decent crowd. We had to wait a few minutes for a spot to open at the bar to sit. We ordered the buffalo chicken nachos which were really great. and I got the cheese steak quesadilla which I would say was just average, a little greasy. My friend got the honey hot wings which he loved. Very casual relaxed atmosphere, awesome bartenders, who seemed knowledgeable about the beers. The bathrooms could have been cleaner. Overall awesome bar!

Gruff bartenders before eight greet you to the sound of… Order a damn drink, that’s all I’m here to do.
Pitchers offers the most extensive draft list in manayunk, and most days before 8 they are all 3 bucks.
Watch out, during the school year this place gets packed.
Their bar food is scrumptious, and their late night bartenders are just a bit tantalizing. Food wise I’d recommend the buffalo nachos, oh yeah yummmm!
Of what blesses the pitchers, most is, some beautiful bulldogs that scamper around the place. There isn’t anything I want more than to squeeze those bulldogs fat cheeks as I become more intoxicated.
Best times for this place are before 7 each day.

I am a frequent goer to Pitchers. I live in the area but originally from New York. Pitchers has great drinks and amazing specials, Love the selection of beers. Probably the best in town
However for some reason this past week I tried to go at around 1 with another friend from New York, both of us are 22 and who ever was at the door took five minutes to tell me I had a fake drivers license. Meanwhile I offered to show him that it was real and had numerous cards that had my birthday and credit cards with my name on it.
He ended with saying either leave or he would take the IDs… I don’t understand what the heck is wrong with him and because of this I am really disappointed in Pitchers and do not plan on going back anytime soon if you think I have a fake…

I have been to Pitchers Pub at least 15 times. The beer/​cider selection is pretty cheap, and they have an awesome rotating draft selection. So, you always have the opportunity to try something new. I dislike going later at night because they play music way too loud and there is no one ever dancing. Anyways, I love going here to warm up for a small bar crawl through Manayunk, or to watch a sport game on their awesome TVs.
I do have a beef with Pitchers over IDs. I am from Texas. I have an issue with them spending forever trying to figure out if my ID is real. I wish they would just buy an ID scanner. I understand some fake IDs do scan, but for the most part it would make their lives a lot easier. Plus, I wouldn’t have to stand there waiting for them to flip through the ID book, and backlighting my ID to death. It’s annoying.
They also do an awful job of identifying if an ID is actually real. Last night, I was in a group of 4 people. Two of the guys were from New York, they had drank earlier at Pitchers and loved this new peach beer that we had decided to go back. They both give the bouncer their IDs. He spends the next 5 minutes determining if their IDs are legit. Both of them showed other ID photos, credit cards, ext backing up the picture and information on the card. Both of them are 22 years old, and had been let into Pitchers Pub 3 hours ago. He finally determined their REAL licenses were fake, and turned us away. Thankfully, he decided to give the ID back instead of taking them because it would have been a whole show of calling the cops to get the real IDs back.
I am also always really confused by the ID situation. But, I will probably still keep going back as along as my friends can actually get in.

This is a tiny place with a small-​town sort of feel– the regulars are friendly (some were a bit too friendly in a creepy/​drunken sort of way) and the bartenders are cool and easy to talk to.
I visited Pitcher’s for what a friend promised were «the best wings ever». I thought the wings were tasty and the sauces were spot on (hot and honey all the way), plus the price $ 4 for 10 wings during happy hour can’t be beat. But I wouldn’t go so far as to say that the wings were the best I’ve ever tasted.
It’s got a bit of a dive bar feeling, but it isn’t dingy enough to be a true dive. I’d come back for the dive bar/​friendly neighborhood joint vibe anytime, especially as it’s a much more laidback vibe than at some of the other bars in Manayunk where the college kids can be found in on Fridays and Saturdays.

Love watching sports here. Especially day time on Saturdays for college sports. Easy to get a seat at the bar. Lots of TVs. You can’t beat cheap pitchers of beer.
Good is just alright but wash it down with a pitcher and enjoy the game.

Stopped in here early one Saturday just as the door were opening for some lunch. The the typical «lunch» spot but had $ 3 mugs and over thirty craft beers on tap. Was fortunate enough to have the Founders Breakfast stout on tap. For lunch ended up getting the buffalo chicken nachos and buffalo chicken egg rolls. With expectation set low, arrived the best plate of buffalo nachos I’ve ever had. Now what separates these from other pedestrian places is that the chips are deep fried tortillas. There came with a wiz sauce. This app was enough for me and another person to split so much so we didn’t even get to the egg rolls. The service was good considering it was one guy for the front of the house and the food came out relatively quick. This place exceeded my expectations.

This is the type of place that as soon as you walk in the bartender makes you feel at home and like you’ve lived around the corner for years. Came here just to get to know the area and have a drink after too much amish delights on the other side of town and fell in love.
I am one of those annoying touristy people that loves to try the funky bar menu drinks YET I don’t like them to be too sweet or watered down. Needless to say, the bartender was extremely helpful in having me pick a drink that I would like (the spiked lemonade) AND made some modifications to it, so that by the end of my first Mason Jar’s worth — I was feeling pretty nice.
Add to the friendly atmosphere and reasonable prices some R. Kelley that was playing and then the random guy that started belching it out («I beleive I can flyyyyyyyyy») — this made me a beleiver.
Finally, I had asked our very awesome (and cute) bartender for a different shot to celebrate my boo’s PhD acceptance and not only did she make some awesome Midori concoctions… she gave it to us on the house. Cheers to that!
