What People Are Saying About Grace Tavern
Featured Review

In Short – Although it opened in 2004, Grace feels like it's been around forever, perhaps because the space it occupies had been a bar for decades. While the space was given a quick redo, the local vibe remains. The beer list runs the gamut from Miller Lite to microbrews, while a spot-on bar menu of handmade sausages, killer burgers (including a vegan burger) and the famous frites from sister restaurant Monk's have made it a quick favorite.

Grace Tavern is a Rude, Unappreciative Joke of a Business
by phillyspartanfan at Citysearch
I went to Grace Tavern last night and am just DONE with this place. Simply put, GRACE TAVERN DOES NOT APPRECIATE THEIR CUSTOMERS and you're bothering these idiots the second you walk in the door. Last night, for example, my buddy and I sat down at a small table in the back. We were "greeted" by some stone-faced, gum-smacking waiter who didn't utter A WORD to us. He just slammed a couple of menus on the table and that was our welcome I guess. We then proceeded to tell him that we were just having drinks, which seemed to SHOCK THE HELL out of this guy. He then told us, and I quote, "I'm moving you guys over there [to a table in the corner]." Again, no friendliness, no "if you don't mind" or anything like that; it was basically just a "Move it!" So anyway, we went to the table, the waiter brought us our drinks and then maybe twenty minutes or so went by. As usual at this place, no one EVER asked how everything was, whether we needed another round, etc. And this is very much the norm at Grace Tavern: you RARELY get service unless you wave someone down. They take close to no initiative in that respect. So at that point, we basically already had enough and didn't even bother ordering another round. We just paid for our first drinks and left. Again, I will not be frequenting Grace Tavern again. These idiots just don't get it. When there are SO MANY other places in town that are friendly, give good service, etc., why ON EARTH would I take my hard-earned money to a place like Grace Tavern?

Big Mistake
by JThomp at Citysearch
If you like food that tastes bland, cold, and e-coli-ish then this place is for you.
If you like beer that was selected by someone who knows nothing about beer then this place is for you.
If you like creepy old bartenders with ponytails who touch you then this place is for you.
- Pros: Easy to leave
- Cons: Food, Drinks, Service, Pony Tails

Just aweful
by Jnihal at Citysearch
The food was terrible.
The service was terrible.
The atmosphere was terrible.
There was nothing good about this place. Don't bother. Try Resurrection up on 25th and Grays Ferry for a good meal.
- Pros: none
- Cons: bad service, bad food stale beer

Stop..Don't do it!

Well it took about 20 minutes for the bartender to come over and give me and my friend a drink and when he did he didn't even ask us if we wanted to see a menu. I am very disappointed in this place, we were looking for a new hangout. 2 THUMBS DOWN
- Pros: There are no pros
- Cons: This place is a dungeon and I been to few crappy bars
