The vibes of this place are unmatched they were playing funky soul music and the food was amazing! Had the cookie skillet and it was amazing and the salmon was plated beautifully. The edamame purée that came with the salmon was delicious I’ve never had anything like it! Spinach and artichoke dip was really good and the beer selection was plentiful.

I debated giving five stars, given that this is a saloon, not a fancy eatery, but good stuff. Five of us dined there for an early lunch, and the place filled up during the lunch rush. We shared the Urban Street Corn Dip and the Roasted Garlic Humus for appies, and both were generous and tasty. Two of my group ordered wings, and were happy with them. A couple of burgers were consumed. I took a chance on the Shrimp Po-boy, and it was as good or better than some I’ve had in New Orleans. The service was good, and friendly, and the adult beverages very good; too bad it was too early to drink more. There were large TV monitors mounted on the walls, most tuned to sports channels. Seems like a good spot to watch a match or game. One of our party had been to Urban before, and recommended it. Good choice.

Great sports bar. The cauliflower bites and pork sandwich were delicious. However, the short ribs as well as the turkey sandwich were dry. The hot spiked toddy was AWESOME! Great place to be noisy and watch the games!

We stopped in here for a quick drink and snack after touring the Eastern State Penitentiary on a Saturday late afternoon/early evening. We were going to go to Jacks a few doors down but they were closed for a private event.
We sat at the bar. The bartender greeted us quickly and gave us menus then took our drink orders. He was friendly and attentive despite being pretty busy. I had mule and it was very good. We ordered the Buffalo cauliflower to share and that was good as well.
The atmosphere was lively and casual. It is a pretty bit space and they were busy. It was noisy but we could still hear just fine. There was some kind of sports event on the TV and people were getting excited about that.
Prices were comparable to other similar places we have been. We parked on the street near the penitentiary and I’m fairly certain we did not pay a meter.
This was an overall good experience.

This place is good for their appetizers, if it’s nice out I recommend sitting outside the inside seating is kind of loud and it’s really hard to have conversations with your friends. I personally like their spinach artichoke dip and tater tots. However, if you are a pescatarian or love seafood I wouldn’t recommend this saloon. My friend and I have visited this place on multiple occasions, customer service is great but anytime we order any dish that has seafood in it, it wouldn’t taste fresh. Our stomachs would feel off and the next day we would end up realizing that we got food poisoning from the dish. After scrolling through reviews we noticed that multiple people have talked about the seafood not being fresh or something to do with getting food poisoning from here. Overall, customer service is great, their appetizers are good but the entrees could be better.

Urban Saloon is a great place to watch any Philadelphia Sports Team game while having great drinks and food. Or so I thought about the food part…
I have been to Urban Saloon multiple times for games/hanging out with friends and have always enjoyed their food. I went in October of 2025 after not being there for 6 months or so and was very excited for some of their dishes that I haven’t had in a while. One of the dishes I enjoyed was the corn dip. Turns out they took the corn dip off the menu since the last time I was there which was very disappointing because I know it was a fan favorite. I also ordered the nachos with chicken added. I remember ordering them from previous visits and they were always fabulous. Tell me why I received the most flavorless nachos, with the chicken not having a sprinkle of seasoning on it. They were nasty and no one in my party touched them. We also ordered loaded tater tots which are not your typical “loaded” tots and don’t recommend them. The only thing my party ordered and enjoyed were the cheesesteak eggrolls and alcohol of course.
I don’t know if they got a new chef or food supplier but Urban Saloon USED to have such great food and now the food is very disappointing.

Vibe and service was great, food is typical greasy bar fare. I had the most “salad” salad I’ve ever had. They do not know what a smash burger is, but it was fine. Maybe they just forgot to smash it. Would go again.

I really like the vibe in this restaurant. It’s a nice place to hangout with friends during the weekend and game nights. The food was really good and the gin cocktail we got was the best gin cocktail we had in recent years. The service was great. I would definitely visit this again when I am in Philadelphia. The only thing I didn’t like is the blue cheese they gave with the wings it’s nasty. I highly recommend this place. Avoid blue cheese.
