Bridgid's

04/30/2008 Posted by ontheboundary

Brigid's is thoroughly unpretentious without being a dive. The beer list is extensive and there is usually a good Belgian on tap. The menu is eclectic and changes regularly. Be sure to try the chicken fingers!

Pros: Beer selection, chicken fingers

Cons: None

Bridgid's is great. The menu isn't huge, nor is it small. The beer list, however, is huge. Great beers and an always changing tap. From the Duvel to Chimay to Yuengling, it's all here. Beyond that, the food is just as good as the beer, and it's reasonably priced. It is small, but that's certainly part of the atmosphere, and the staff is always kind and friendly. You owe it to yourself to go here if you fancy good bear and good food.

Pros: Great beer, great food.

Cons: Parking can be a little hard to find in that area on weekends.

The food is great here! I've been there a dozen times and was never disapointed. I love their duck breat with mango chutney, it's to die for! The beer menu is also amazing and original, with mostly imported beer, which is great. I think it's the best value in town!

Pros: great food, great beer, great price

Cons: off street parking

Here's the deal. In the Art Museum neighborhood this is one of two places I LOVE to eat. The food isn't all that expensive. You won't go broke here. The beers are diverse (La Chouffe and Duvels among others). The food is fabulous and the service at worst is adequate. They have everything from Filet Mignon to Jalapeno Shrimp. I've never had a bad experience here! Looking for a good, low key meal in the neighborhood? Eat here!

Pros: Not expensive, good food for the price!! Diverse beer and food menu.

Cons: Nothing special as far as ambience - try to eat upstairs.

When I first found the place, I selfishly wished that no one else would ever discover it. I have been going to Bridgid's for years. It never disappoints. The food quality is very high, given that the prices are so reasonable. However, what they give with one hand, they take with the other, and you can easily (very easily!) spend far more on the bar tab than the food. But hey, they're in the upmarket beer world, and that's where they make their living, and they're entitled to that. No complaints from me on that score, and if you're a beer geek, you'll find stuff here that you probably won't find anywhere else. There is always something interesting on tap.

Pros: Very inexpensive food, Great beer, Unpretentious

The food was great, service was friendly and knowledgable, prices very reasonable. A little noisy but we could still hear the music, a little crowded but everyone was friendly. This was recommended by a friend of a friend and we will definitely go back!

Pros: huge beer menu, great staff!

Cons: on street parking

It is a great place to dine and not to expensive unless you order drinks. I recommend ordering frambioza (the 10 dollar beer I call it). Service was excellent, food was amazing, dessert was great too. However, it can be extremely crowded at some point. It is unfortunate that they don't take reservations.

Pros: Food, Service, Inexpensive

Cons: No Reservation

I live about a block and a half from Bridgid's, and I visit quite often, but not just because it is so convienient. I really like it because the food is very good and very reasonably priced (the highest priced entree is $12.00). The staff is very efficient and friendly. And they have a great selection of tasty Belgian beer. (Your bar tab will be bigger than your food bill...trust me!) A True Story: My friends and I went to Zanzibar Blue for a birthday dinner and paid $30 for horribly prepared Filet. A week later, we visited Brigid's and had their magnificent Filet Roquefort for $12.00! Other good menu items include Salmon Dijon, Tilipia with Crabmeat, and the wonderful Carrot Soup (when they serve it). Another plus is the Restaurant and the Bar are non-smoking. The few smokers don't seem to mind. They just step outside.

Pros: Great Food, Great Value, Belgian Beer

Cons: No reservations taken, The bar is cramped, Noisy

I've only lived in Philly for a year, yet I been to Brigid's three times and never have I been disappointed. I won't waste your time describing what we had because they have a revolving menu. There is always something new and good. (However, if they have Jalapeno Shrimp as an appetizer-GET IT!!). Last but not least this restaurant won't break your wallet either. Very quality, cheap eats. As a service to yourself, check out Brigid's

Pros: Food, Beer
