Fantastic vibe in this place, full but not packed upstairs and down on a Tuesday afternoon. Great beer list for Philly beer week, plus a brand new beer from Dupont. Can’t beat that!

Pre-dinner visit on a cold November night. Place was fairly empty, which offered us a relaxed environment in which to examine the expansive beer menu plenty of quality Belgians plus a couple other odds and ends on tap, plus pages of Belgian, other European and American craft beers available in bottles. There was a crowd of guys yapping it up in the kitchen right at the end of the cozy bar area, which was a detractor. But the bartender was really friendly, knowledgeable of the beers, and even gave us a list of other places to check out that we may not have otherwise known about. Enjoyed my visit, and definitely worth a stop especially for those who prefer the Belgian varietals.

Almost right in front of Triumph, Eulogy has one of the best beer list I’ve seen in the city. We could compare IPAs from Port brewing and Russian RIver and they had a dozen other taps including various drawings from top American micros. Solid bottle list also, not packed with rarities, but plenty of beers you would not mind anywhen. We were there on a Saturday evening though and the place was packed with partying young men (not many women by deduction). It was all extremely loud and we could barely hear each other. I’d recommend avoiding weekend evenings, especially as this neighborhood seems particularly popular. The place itself has 2 floors and it’s important to keep in mind that they only have half the draught lines on each floors, but you can order from both wherever you are. Service was good under the busy circumstances and seemingly knowledgeable. It just was not particularly comfortable that very night.

This place was very cool when we stopped in. Busy but not in an obnoxious way. Solid tap list and a nice bottle list as well with good prices. The place just feels comfortable... the sort of place you could spend a whole day in. The place is very narrow with a long bar down one side. There is a small seating area up front by the windows and a larger area upstairs. I agree with puzzl... if you only look around the pub you’d swear you were in Brussels.

A small bar in a vistable part of the waterfront. Mostly bottles, there was something in the order of 180 of them. Quite busy for a Monday night owing to the great weather. WIll get hot here in the summer. Selection is Basically what you can get at The Foodery, but in bar setting. Nothing I haven’t had and wanted to try. A few quality taps of Belgians,I think there was 8 taps on, with the British standards, but also different taps than what’s on at Monk’s.

Visited here three to four times back in November 2008. I really enjoyed this place, the selection was very decent, barman knowledgeable and good fun and also it had some decent music playing all on each occasion we were there. Unlike the previous rater we sat at a table on two occasions and never had food. Had some great beers here for the first time including Bells Hoplslam.

Stopped in for a quick visit during a weekend trip to Philadelphia. Rest of the family was site seeing, so I only had time for one pint and no food. The bar was more or less full at 4PM on a Sunday. I was able to grab a bar stool, and the service quickly brought a Busty Blonde on request. The tap selection and bottle menu at this place are pretty insane. Nothing super rare or exclusive, but pretty much every Belgian in the bottle you would want to try. Tap selection offered nice variety, and a few choice non-Belgians. The vibe here was really relaxed and happy. It was a perfect place for a mid-afternoon pint. Would have loved to spend more time, but alas had no extra time.

Stuck in between Triumph Brewing and Khyber Pass in the chaos of downtown Philly’s historic district, Eulogy is a two part, extremely cramped Belgian cafe and beer bar. For Philly Beer Week, this place had a wild tap list including fresh Hill Farmstead Double Citra, Port Brewing Hightide, Hill Farmstead Everett. It was a miracle. But Eulogy doesn’t always have such a stellar tap list and the good stuff was only pouring downstairs, which is cramped beyond belief. Essentially impossible to order a drink. Upstairs was similarly cramped but you can sit at tables. The upstairs bar gets the B tap list forcing you to get beer from downstairs and cart it up through pandemonium to your table. Bottle list was uninspiring. On a normal day, Eulogy is one of those perfect scroll past places since Triumph across the street is cheaper and has better beer- yes, their house beers are very good. Eulogy is a bit too gimmicky and I didn’t think the food quite made up for it. However, it is a harmless place so no reason to drop in and look at the taplist in between bar hopping in downtown. They have something special, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

I met up with Phillymonksbeer and Whaleman for a few beers. Very nice selection of Belgians and Domestic Micros. The beer list is not always current, so be sure to have a second choice in the queue. The place is very nice, somewhat upscale and trendy. There are two levels, each with different beers on Tap. Rather small, but not as tight as Monk’s Cafe. I stayed downstairs and drank at the bar. The bartender was very nice, and the beers were served in the proper glass. I did not try the food, but it looked and smelled great. Another plus is that they have one of beer coolers outside the bar, so you can browse for beers, as oppposed to poking your head over the bar. As others said, everything listed is not always available, but I expect that in beer bars with this type of selection. Overall, I enjoyed my visit. I prefer this place over Monk’s Cafe for two reasons. One, it’s not as packed. Two, better service at the bar. Monk’s has the edge for rarities.

Dark and cool, a nice mix of old wood and soft light. Our server was the same both times we stopped in during our five day trip, and he was great. Knowledgeable and well versed in the beers on hand and willing to talk about stuff a great deal before any decisions were made. Never felt rushed into any decisions. Bottle list was fairly deep with a nice selection of lambics. The frites here were the best we had in Philly. Might get a bit crowded later into weekend nights, but as both of our visits were before 5pm, it was nice and relaxed.
