My first time back here in a decade (since kids) and this place not only still got it, but it’s better than I remember! Use to love winding up here in my 20s. Cool secret little spot, good drinks, great place to hang with friends. Fish bowls were always fun too. Came back a couple weeks ago to cap off a night out in the city. Place was crowded with a mix of ages, which I appreciate now that I’m getting near 40. Saw a bunch of people eating and I got excited. Ordered like 5 appetizers to share because everything sounded so good. Loved the dan dan wontons and the cheesesteak buns. Everything came out very fast. Such perfect food to eat after a night of drinking. Some communal tables so we got to chat with some folks and even shared some of our apps because I thought they deserved to know how good it was. My old fashioned was also really good. No complaints at all. Going to keep Graffiti Bar in the back of my mind next time I’m in the city. Apparently I’m not too old yet.

I had high hopes for this spot—the atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. It’s a relaxing and quiet place, even when it gets packed, which made for a pleasant dining experience. The staff were wonderful: attentive, friendly, and always checking in to make sure we were comfortable. Service was definitely one of the highlights.
The food, unfortunately, didn’t live up to its presentation. We tried a variety of dishes from their menu, which they have other menu for vegetarian and gluten-free options—something I appreciated for accessibility. That said, the quality and flavor were hit or miss.
The kimchi rice unexpectedly came with shrimp, which wasn’t listed on the menu, and it lacked flavor. The broccoli was bland, and the noodles were dry with barely any seasoning. On the brighter side, the chicken on a stick and the bun sandwich were both excellent—full of flavor and perfectly cooked. Those two dishes really stood out.
Their drink menu is surprisingly more extensive than their food offerings, and the drinks themselves were great. One thing to note: they need to keep a card on file for an open tab, which could be a small inconvenience depending on your visit.
Overall, while the service and drinks were impressive, I wouldn’t return for the food. It looks much better than it tastes.

Stopped by for a nightcap – and so happy we did. Felt a little odd squeezing down that skinny alley, but enjoyed the artwork. The door is all the way at the end on the right. Loved the portal windows to see what we were getting into. Bartender was fabulous. Drinks were innovative and fun. Would love to come back to try the food. Very fun!

Connect to sampan which is Philly best happy hour spot . The bartender made this kind of syrup for his gin drink . I believe it was made with honey ginger and cinnamon etc . It was on the specialty $5 cocktail. The Kim chee rice always good .

Visited here on a beautiful day and the vibes were sooo good! Was able to find a seat at an outdoor table relatively easily, and ordered a drink plus several food items. My favorite being the crab rangoons and chicken bao buns.
Did not have a bad bite here. Will definitely come back to try more food! Service was also very quick and attentive.

Graffiti Bar is a great spot for happy hour with friends! The vibe is super cool and the space feels cozy yet lively. Their tequila and vodka fishbowls are a must-try — perfect for sharing with 2-3 friends to kick off the night. The Pan-Asian food is delicious, and everything pairs perfectly with their creative cocktails. Definitely a go-to spot for drinks, good food, and a chill atmosphere!

I am glad to say we stumbled across this gem by complete accident. There was a restaurant a couple doors down that wouldn’t seat 4 of us at the bar that was open for just one drink. I’m glad that was the case because a few blocks up was a mysterious alley that led to a super hip and poppin bar. Let’s just say that all the food that came out was some of the best food I’ve had the pleasure of eating. I think at one point a year trickled down my cheek. Yes that’s how good it was. If you love Lo mein, some of the best noodles I’ve ever had. Crab Rangoon was awesome with (in my opinion) the perfect ratio of cream cheese. The chicken boa buns are a must have. I REPEAT, A MUST HAVE! The bar was super packed and tight spaced and yet with all the hectic mess going on our server was not phased for one second. Honestly some of the best service I’ve ever had. I had a specialty old fashioned forgot the name but made beautifully. You have to be careful of places that batch their old fashioned which get me livid, but no not this place they made it perfect. I’m telling you right now this place is a must. A secret gem, which probably ain’t so secret anymore, but none the less, you will not regret this place. Few notes to take into consideration. It is first come first serve, you should get there earlier in the day around opening time if you want to get a seat. They have one long table and a bar, that’s it. Order from the menu and you should be fine it gets jammed up a bit but it’s worth it.
My overall score for this spot is a 9.2. Keep up the amazing job guys. Great restaurant/bar, awesome staff and great vibes.
Til next time,
