Glory Beer Bar & Kitchen

 

Walked over for lunch on museum day, literally no one else was here which was weird. So service was great because we were the only people there! The beer list was a lot of common craft, but some fun locals sprinkled in. The food is pretty rough though, my lunch was overcooked and underseasoned, the wife's had weird portions between the parts of the dish that were meant to be eaten together. Large industrial modern vibe

Visited on a Monday afternoon.

F - I had the wings and the mac & chesse with bacon. Both excellent. 4.25

Great atmosphere, great selection (tap and bottles), great service. Their food posts on Instagram constantly have me drooling. I love the vinyl spinning at all hours. Do us real beer drinkers a solid - clean your draft lines.

 

stopped by for a couple drinks and an appetizer before heading to dinner elsewhere. Top notch draft list in terms of quality and selection - both regional craft beer and imports. Great options of glassware behind the bar that they are using as well. pretty good service. We only had an appetizer of a bowl of ceviche, and it was excellent. Definitely will be back.

Visited for lunch with a family member in late March 2022. This was a nice find (thanks to checking BA), and I'm very glad we stopped. It is located in what looks like a historic storefront on the street just a block off of Independence Mall, very close to Carpenters House. The interior looks like a very nicely restored Colonial-era pub. Lots of tasteful wood and brass and a nice historic feel. It has a long bar and a number of small tables. The owner himself was manning the bar that afternoon and also waiting tables, although he did have some additional help available. He seemed to take it as an opportunity to dispense advice on the food and beer selections in a non-pushy way that we appreciated. He seemed rightly proud of his place.

The food menu was very small, but everything on it was fresh, original and ground-breaking. I really feel the dishes we tried were of a quality that would have made a Michelin-starred restaurant proud.

The beer selection was truly special and obviously decisions were made as carefully there as in the menu selections. There seemed to be about 30-40 taps, with 25 or so made up of interesting and unusual US breweries. The 10 or so international selections were also uncommon and intriguing. There were no throw-away, chalk-board fillers here! Sour, barrel-aged and limited edition beers were all well-represented. The draft beers we tried were fresh and well cared-for. There were also dozens of bottled beers available, too many to count.

I can't say enough good things about this establishment and I highly recommend you make it a stop if you are ever in the historic district around Independence Hall. I will certainly be back if I have a chance.

 

Very nice beer selection. The food selection is not very big, but what we had was excellent. Very clean with a good vibe. Server was very knowledgeable about the beers.

 

 

You really need to check Glory out. The food has an edge, and flavors are outstanding. Dave has an impeccable palate in his beer selection - on draft as well as bottle selections. Our favorite stop when visiting Old City Philadelphia.

Dig Dave.
