First off let me say that I really enjoyed myself at this place. The food was fantastic and the beers they had on draft, for me it was Dogfish 120, and Manyuck Monk, were fresh and delicious. The selection wasn’t huge, but they do continuosly rotate their taps with a great lineup of beers.

Not a huge draft selection (only 10 taps) but you’re bound to find a great beer on tap. Excellent cheesesteak. Friendly staff.

The Grey Lodge is a nice place in Northeast Philly. It’s nice to see a place with a nice beer selection who isn’t in center city. The upstairs bar was closed when I went (Monday), but the first floor bar was a nice mix of locals there for Bud and people there for the good stuff. Had a late lunch, and the food was above average for bar food. Service was great, and beer selection was very nice on tap and in bottles. You can also build a six.

Usually have a great rotating draft list and bottles ... I love to go upstairs to the smaller bar because the bartender can take care of you a bit faster (the upstairs is closed on mondays though) .... they have lots of events and the bar is usually full of some of the nicest people in the northeast ..... the bathroom has cool beer saying tile mosaics ..... the food is a little overrated, but its decent pub grub .... if your in northeast philly this is a great pub i always have a great time here

The staffs here are ok knowledgeaable, but more importantly, friendly. The selections for loclal beer are great but so so for other beers. Great bar to visit if in town. THe only concerns is that all beer tend to be served a bit too chilled...

Though it looks rather nondescript on the outside the beers within this place are a beer lovers paradise. Most of the taps focused on local breweries with a few Belgians. The bartender was very knowledgeable and described every beer to us after we ordered it. Prices were decent, maybe slightly lower than other Philly bars. The decor was mostly ho-hum except for the mens room. It has an amazing mosaic covering every inch of it with several famous beer quotes laid out within. Worth a revisit, hopefully on a Friday the Firkenteenth.

We are big fans of Grey’s Lodge. We have been going there for many years, we started going there because the second floor was nonsmoking (now it is all nonsmoking). The food is good. I love the that the draft beer selection focuses on primarily local PA microbrews. I totally love Wednesday night Quizzo. Be sure to say hi to Frank the Tank if you go!

This place is awesome. I think my first of three Friday the Firkenteenths indicates how wonderful I feel this place truly is. We had 20 cask condinitioned ales to choose from, of which I tried 15. Before that I got to try the Legacy Brown-Eyed Girl which was so delicious on hand pump. The food is phenomenal! The red and yellow (Russet and sweet potato) fried were an unbelievable basket and the wings were great too. The variety of beers was excellent on top of the cask-conditioned, and I can’t wait to visit this place on a normal evening.

A great, casual atmosphere with high quality brews, a knowledgeable staff, and phenomenal crab fries.

Really relaxed atmosphere (at least on a Saturday late-afternoon) in the middle of the ghetto. Sunlit, dusty bar with dartboards in the back and an entirely chill, local-filled atmosphere. Lots of available street parking. Friendly, attentive waitstaff (at least until the shift switched over), and loads of cool stuff on tap, including the Flying Fish Bourbon Barrel Dubbel & Brooklyn Keller Helles. They seem to have a decent selection of current local and widely distributed bottles, though nothing exceedingly rare or with much age behind it. The taps are where this place excels. Growler fills are available, as are 8 oz pours, and both are reasonably cheap.
