Reviews for Black Cat Tavern on 12th in Philadelphia, PA
They always have a great and plentiful beer selection to choose from. They have cleverly named cocktails and a delicious food... menu that is vegetarian/vegan friendly. Periodically, the tavern holds events like art shows, drag shows, and stand-upcomedy. The vibe is relaxed and low key. They cycle between being busy to quite dead frequently. The atmosphere is welcoming.The bartenders are friendly and attentive. Read more
Do not sleep on this absolute gem of an establishment. This unassuming little bar makes some of the best food I've eaten in my... decade living in Philly. Try the Polish sampler, pickled fruits and veggies, dill pickle soup (really), and mushroom-applekraut. Well worth a trip to South Philly, but do yourself a favor and get delivery if you are feeling lazy. I only found outabout this place when I moved a few blocks away, but it is easily among my favorite places to eat in any neighborhood. Read more
Great spot for Polish food in South Philly. The pickle soup was amazing, pair it up with bigos and kopytka and you are in... heaven. The staff was great, entertaining and very attentive. Worth the trip to the Deep South! Read more
Honest review of the Black Cat..... Bartender on point. Greeting the guest, perfect. You already have the atmosphere that is... cute, and it's cozy it's more relaxing than other bars in the area. Read more
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 alldelicious and every food item was a stand out. Hard to highlight any one thing - since it was all so good - but the KielbasyBurger and the Pickle Soup (special) were full grand slams. Super chill mom & pop tavern vibes - close to the stadiums/casino sowould be a great pre-game stop. I haven?t stopped talking to family and friends about this place and our meal since my nightthere. Will be returning very soon. Read more
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 greatprices and fun environment. Read more
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 crowdpleasers. 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, orcheaper to match portion size. The kielbasa burger is the same size as Fountain Porter's $5 burger. Read more
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 funevents like their Pop Up Market and Comedy Shows!! Thanks guys for an incredible experience. Read more
