Bottle Bar East

This is a cluttered bottle shop bar combo. The selection is quite massive, but usually there is nothing super rare or high stakes available. That said, there is a ton of beer that a beer enthusiast can get into. Given the huge selection of canned beers, checking dates on cans is crucial. Tap list is also rather extensive. Food is served as well, but I never got it. This is a place worth going to on its own or to cap off a night hitting the many nearby breweries.

Fairly trendy vibe, long, narrow and somewhat dark. Huge selection in the coolers, decent tap list as well. Well worth a visit.

Nice looking place .... Dark bar in the back and a long row of almost a dozen coolers on the left ... local micro, lots of US micro doors and then a couple Belgian/german/English micros at the end ... Some room temp bottles are also on some shelving on the right side .... Staff was very friendly and helpful and I definitely found a few nice rarities at a great price .... Will definitely stop back to grab a bite and try out the bar portion, but so far this place was a home run ... Stopped back a second time the food was great small menu but thorough had a nice Cuban sandwich .... beer on tap was fresh and they had a nice variety of us micros with some rarities on so definitely check this place out

Nice place in new hip neighborhood. Vibe is half neighborhood bar and half bottle shop. Singles can be purchased and consumed at the bar. Nice tap list too, all styles and areas.

Nice spot. There’s a small bottle shop at the entrance and a bar/restaurant in the rear. Anything from the bottle shop can be consumed on site. The beer on tap’s a bit limited, but well curated (Nugget Nectar, Founders Porter etc). The grilled cheese sandwich I paired with my bottle of 3F Oude Geuze was merely OK, so consider eating elsewhere. Service was exceedingly friendly. Overall, I’d strongly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area.

Interesting place. Lots of bottles in front which can be consumed in it taken home. Solid draft line up and cool loft seating..

Really cool concept that I’ve only seen once before and that in Puerto Rico. So many beers in the store section in the front, and for beer-store prices. I guess this is the result of Pennsylvania’s strange beer laws. Tons of local and imported stuff in that fridge -- the local stuff is more varied and interesting for an outsider than the imported stuff they have. But very cheap prices. Got a bottle of oak-aged La Trappe for $13, though the bartender basically had to find a chainsaw to open it for me. Also a few good beers on tap.

Stopped in briefly after a show across the street. I was fairly impressed with the selection as I haven’t seen a lot of the beers outside of Philly (I live in DE). I’ll definitely be back again next time I’m in the area.

Nice addition to the growing Frankford/Girard intersection area of bars and restaurants. Long row of coolers on your left as you enter with some warm belgians and such on your right. Bottles can be drank at the bar or taken home. They have eight taps pouring now and most can be bought in goblet, pint, or growler size. The bottle list is pretty extensive and impressive. Pricing is average for Philly but may be a touch cheaper than the Foodery. Service was great when I stopped in even though they were busy getting ready for First Friday. Met a few of the owners/employees and they just seem like friendly folks who like good beer. The kitchen opens at four and while I didn’t have anything it smelled awesome. Five or six sandwiches and an assortment of pickles, cheeses, and meats. Pretty chill place and I’m sure I’ll be back for more.

Cool little spot in the fishtown area by johnny brend’s, fette sau, and frankford hall. Bottle shop with a huge and very nice selection of singles to go as you walk in...fairly bright in here. Bar is further back with 6 drafts...nice and interesting crafts...a little more dimly lit back here. Bottles can be drank at the bar or taken out. Growlers available. Friendly staff.
