Terrific little place! - blues playing in the background when I was there a few weeks ago. the 3 of us in my group ordered 2 different entrees and we very impressed with the quality of the food. Very unpretentious, comfortable place. I will be back.
- Pros: the food is delicious!
- Cons: none

A great little neighborhood bar frequented by the locals; you'll often see the same faces each time you go. Good bar food, good beer.
There can be some pretty lively discussions among the customers which can be very interesting.

I like Bridget's. It's a cozy place. I like to sit at the bar. The beer selection is good and the food too. There is also a dining room and more space upstairs. This place is good enough to fall into the destination bar category.

Outstanding beer selection - beers offered on tap changed often.
Menu changes often as well - Homestyle is indeed a good way to describe the food - unpretentious, with focus on quality and flavor.
Atmosphere is cozy and enjoyable
Great neighborhood bar

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
Great Beer, Great Food, Great Atmosphere

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.
Awesome restaurant

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
Low Key, Not expensive! A Must Try - At least Once!

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.
Sit at the bar, skip the food and sample (almost) any kind of beer at this cozy Fairmount pub.

The Scene
At the front of the fire-lit dining room is a cramped, lace-curtained bar, where foreigners, neighborhood intellectuals, and beer nuts alike enjoy faux-European charm among walls crammed with vintage advertising art.
The Fare
The menu is an immense collection of lower-priced items that range from freezer-to-fryer appetizers to actual prepared entrees. Beware: The offerings are not always the bargain that they appear to be, but they are passable for the purposes of accompanying whatever selection you make from the immense beer menu. While no longer a leader among America's beer bars, the spoils from that former glory remain, including a re-creation of the original DownDraft beer system.
One of the best kept secrets in Philly

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
