Customer Reviews
I've been looking for a place with chill atmosphere, delicious food, and unique drinks and this place hit all the marks. Brian, Mike, and Max were fantastic. It was a slower night and they let me ask question after question, take a look at great artwork, and overall made me feel like I'd been going there for years Can't wait to go back for their Martini Tuesday deals and fun events like their Pop Up Market and Comedy Shows!! Thanks guys for an incredible experience.
Went to the Black Cat Tavern for the first time before the holidays with family. One of the best meals I’ve had in recent memory. We ordered a couple of special items in addition to food from the standard menu and cocktails. The cocktails were all delicious and every food item was a stand out. Hard to highlight any one thing - since it was all so good - but the Kielbasy Burger and the Pickle Soup (special) were full grand slams. Super chill mom & pop tavern vibes - close to the stadiums/casino so would be a great pre-game stop. I haven’t stopped talking to family and friends about this place and our meal since my night there. Will be returning very soon.
Spontaneously stumbled on this South Philly gem! Really charismatic people and a very nice and clean atmosphere. They had funky May 4th specials and my girlfriend went for the adventure and got "Sam's Magic Sword" and the Boba Fettucine. Really great prices and fun environment.
It's a great neighborhood bar with great service. You can go alone and not be lonely. You'll have people to talk to. The only bummer is the food portions are tiny and the food way overpriced. They have a very small menu, showcasing a few polish crowd pleasers. The kielbasa burger is tasty but we were all still hungry after eating the tiny sandwich and barely-there side salad. Definitely not worth $12. Since we were still hungry we ordered the pierogi which were nothing to write home about either, and $$$. If you're only going to have a few menu items, make them memorable and fantastic and large enough to fill your tummy, or cheaper to match portion size. The kielbasa burger is the same size as Fountain Porter's $5 burger.
Went here on an off night, sadly it was dead due to the Birds losing (again) but the bartender was awesome nonetheless, great attitude and spirit! Nice ambience, will definitely go back and try their food (hopefully it'll be busier)
