Still don't understand WHY people keep going back!. Been here a few times with friends and WE had a great time ! Not because of the place or the food but because of the friends. The lightning is so poor that I am afraid to eat because I can't see it. The Wait staff is rude and have little or no knowledge of the food on the menu. Ordered a sausage dinner once and was not prepared for the different texture in the meal. I ask about it and the rude answer I received didn't take away from the fact that it was not explained when I ordered it.

I do have to plug the Oysters they were great for a corner Pub in Northern Liberties.

Hey ST . . . if you are going to deal with a certain trend . . . do it ! This way normal people can decide before they come in.

Great gastropub. We've been going to the Standard Tap for years and we love it. There is always a wide variety of appetizers, entrees, and drinks available, so everyone (with different tastes/diets) is satisfied. Food is among the best bar food anywhere.

So, why is it anyone still goes to this place?. OK. Maybe back when N Libs had limited options, this may have been the place to go. BUT, as a resident of N Libs, I know this currently is the farthest from the truth. WOW. Could service be any worse? I couldn't imagine so. The indifference of the staff is mind-boggling. Well maybe not so much. A greeting ... a hello? No. Presumably staff (if not, then misc. people) enjoying shots behind the bar? YES! We made the mistake of saying, "Hey, N 3rd is awesome, but ... let's mix it up and go to Standard Tap". Well, after feeling like we were invisible for WAY too long, we left and enjoyed a fantastic dinner at N 3rd. Guess what? N 3rd was packed and the service fantastic. ST ... empty and awful. Of course, places have those times where things just don't go as planned. Understand that. However, as this is not the first time ... ST doesn't deserve the pass. Give your business to one that deserves it. N 3rd or any of the others in the neighborhood. Owner ... this isn't 2000 anyore. Unfortunately for you, you aren't the only kid on the block.

BEST GASTRO-PUB!!!!!!!!!. Love it, love it, love it, we've eaten all around, from the US cities to European destinations and the food here is excellent, great beer selection, love the outdoor deck in the summer, and in the winter you'll find us warming up to the fireplace upstairs! Its the best!

unfriendly staff so rude we had to leave. we walked in here tonight for a change (we usually go to north 3rd) no one greeted us, we sat ourselves...ok fine. then the waiter came over and asked for our ids before we even ordered anything to drink. i explained that i forgot my purse but im not drinking and he said "well there cant be any alcohol at the table then" my friends werent even sure if they wanted a drink but that put it completely out of the question. he came back with three waters and asked if we had questions about the menu...what menu? we were never handed anything! he said "its up there on the wall" oh and it was... about 5 feet above our eye level written in 12 font on a chalkboard in highlighter colors with a bright light shining on it. i dont need to get up from my table to strain my vision to read your menu. no thanks! we left and went to north 3rd where we had the best dinner ever!!
