What People Are Saying About Grey Lodge Pub

The Editor

In Short – It's rare that any place in Northeast Philly get this much attention. But lo and behold, thanks to owner Scoats' (that's what everyone calls him) early adoption of the Internet as a marketing tool, the national press has found him. Esquire magazine called the Grey Lodge "one of the best bars in America" and ratebeer.com named it "one of the best beer bars on the planet." Yet Grey Lodge is a drive from Center City and is housed in a wood-paneled tavern that originally opened in 1950. So what gives? It'sthe beer, stupid.

Great beer selection, good food

by marc32

I only wish I knew this place was here sooner. All the times I went to Chickie's and Pete's up the street and this little gem was right here on Frankford Ave. Great selection of beers. My first was the Thomas Hoker Oktoberfest. One sip and I knew I found the right place. The bartenders are friendly, knowledgeable about their beer, and willing to give you a free sample of a beer before you commit to a full glass. The food menu compliments the great beer. The BEST wings I've ever had and the fish and chips weren't half bad. I've been there 3 times during the week and it's never been too crowded, but whatever crowd is there is lively. Check out their website (www.greylodgecom) for the updated beer selection, links to info about the beer, and upcoming beers.

  • Pros: beer selection, food, atmosphere
  • Cons: parking

good food, good beer, good times

by daddyc4u

A relaxed and open atmosphere where the bartenders make you feel welcome and part of the crowd. The bar food is well prepared with a little bit of everything in the offering. Plenty of micro brew beer on tap with new additions being added all the time and a good web site to let one know what's being poured and any up coming special events.

Pros food, beer, friendly atmosphere and price

Cons would like to see Guiness on tap once in a while when I'm tired of micro stuff
