If you’re searching for everything a local bar should be, Locust Rendezvous in Center City Philadelphia delivers in spades. Since 1989, this beloved dive has been gathering the neighborhood with its no-frills charm, affordable drinks, and a cast of lively regulars that make every visit memorable.
Atmosphere: The vibe is pure Philly, warm, nostalgic, and buzzing with energy. Think wood-paneled walls, 2000s bangers on the jukebox, and TVs tuned to the latest Eagles or Phillies game. Whether it’s a playoff night or a casual weekday, the bar is alive with conversation, laughter, and the occasional friendly debate about sports or city politics.
This is where locals come to unwind, and visitors (like me, a lone Sailor) quickly feel like part of the family. It’s the kind of place where you come for a drink and stay for the people.
Reuben sandwich gets rave reviews from me! Phenomenal!
Locust Rendezvous isn’t trying to be trendy, it’s just real. It’s the kind of bar where you can watch the game, complain about work, celebrate a win, or just enjoy a cold beer with good company. It’s everything a local bar should offer: incredible atmosphere, lively characters, and a sense of belonging.

This was a nice hole in a wall, we have been to Philly plenty of times and never thought twice to go here until now. They have the best wings ive had in a long time, I got the buffalo garlic and it was sauced very well and was tender too. The drinks are okay they offer your typical bar drinks and shots. I also had the mozz sticks and they were good as well, it was perfect ratio of cheese and breading. I would come here again and the prices were good too.

So I’m a bartender full time. Had two drinks from mini golf down the street. Walked in to this place and was told the manager i was interested in food and she flipped her switch and was like we’re not gunna be able to serve you anything. Food or alcohol. Told her we were just gonna get food and was like oh no. So we Went a good dog down the street. Way better. They served us food and beer right away within 10 minutes. Never going back to Locust rendezvous… terrible. They need some new staff because that lady was waiting at the front to turn people away. They don’t want money I guess. Tipped my Good Dog server 50% because Locust rendezvous sucked so bad. Good luck with this place all.

Just went here to get a drink to pass time until white elephant opened at 4. Took so long to get 1 drink bc waitress forgot our order and drinks were mid. Cheap bc they taste like juice. Tried to pay and asked for change and even that took so long to get. Would not recommend and would not come back.

If you’re looking for a drink and food is a secondary thing for you then Locist Rendezvous might be perfect for you. I got their peach mule and it was delicious.
I also got an order of onion rings for the table and a salad for myself. The onion rings were disappointingly not cooked all the way, and the salad was meh. It was fine, but not great.
That being said, the staff was friendly, it was clean, and we enjoyed the atmosphere.

This spot is a GEM! A place that feels like home tucked in the middle of the city. Gives off dive bar vibes (in the best way possible). Staff is on point. They have a system and it makes a small-place run very smoothly. Cannot beat the price and the late hours for some good late night munchies. I went here on my first night in Philly on a whim, and ended each night there after for the rest of my trip. There is a reason they have been open for 36 years! Thanks “Vous” for the memories!

I’m giving Locust Rendezvous 4 stars because I used to come here a lot. The food is excellent, the alcohol is pretty cheap, and the overall atmosphere is very relaxed. However, I’ve had a lot of mixed experiences with some of the bartenders/waitresses, which is what prompted me to write this review:
A couple Saturdays ago, I came to the Vouz with the intention of watching the Tennessee-Arkansas game. I ordered food and a drink and then asked the bartender if she could change one of the TVs in front of me to said game. She tells me that someone is watching the two in front of me. No big deal there’s three more to my left, so I ask her if she can change one of those to it. I get the same answer, so I ask if she can change ANY of the TVs and to my frustration she gives me the same answer as before.
So let me get this straight? You have 10+ TVs playing the same game 2 or 3 games, it’s 3:30 p.m. and the bar isn’t even 1/3 full, and maybe only a handful of people are actually watching the games and you’re telling me that you can’t change a single one to the game I wanted to watch? I’m not trying to sound entitled but it feels like a slap in the face, especially given the fact that I was possibly going to watch the entire game there and in the process spend more money on food and drinks. But just to add insult to injury the same bartender points to a TV across the bar and asks, “Is that the Tennessee game?” and I tell her no, that’s the Texas-Oklahoma game and she just laughs about it like it’s hilarious and to me that was the final straw. I ate my food, paid, and left.
This whole experience just left me baffled: I was willingly wanting to stay to watch the game but couldn’t because the bartender didn’t wanna be inconvenienced. I may come back here someday but after having such a bitter taste left in my mouth, it probably won’t be any time soon.

I have lived in the center for a while now and this is one of my favorite dive bars for my friends and I. Their fried food is solid, and surprisingly have one of the best French onion soups in center city. Also their moonshine cherry bombs for $1 are a favorite of mine. Sarah Danielle Amy and Norah are all super lovely servers and always make my time there fun. Will still be a consistent regular here while I’m here in Philly.

Simply the BEST bar in Center City, always welcoming and full of interesting patrons, staffed by a team that knows how to treat customers, especially the fantastic Danielle. Wonderful draft beer selection and don’t let the “dive bar” feel fool ya, the kitchen puts out some delicious food. The daily specials are always top notch! Very glad this place continues to serve the community with excellent service.

Oh yeah,
Locust rendezvous, might as well be called sexy rendevous, with that banger of a plate of wings, and cheesy fries. Some woman was going around handing out free st paddy day merch, and the Guinness was pretty solid.
Oscar’s is a fav dive bar but this one’s pretty close.
Oh and you can pay with card, huge bonus.
