Other Half Brewing - Philadelphia

Stopped in here with my brother, first brewery of the day. Unassuming from the outside, it opens up into a big, airy space with a large U-shaped bar. Service was great and the taplist was just what I expected, Lots of their hazy IPAs puls a few esser known styles. Everything was top notch

I'm not used to this new model yet, you have to enter your name in an app just to view the draft list or food menu. All ordering is done from the app. Efficient and might be good if the place is busy or you are part of a larger group. I would prefer to just sit at the bar and pay cash.

 

 

Big OH fan here….I’ve greatly enjoyed visits to several of their locations and have been impressed each time…simply put, OHBC don’t play around.

This Philly location does not disappoint…large outdoor lawn area in front for good weather times, large, bright, open and inviting, multi room inside area. It’s got communal tables and windows for your imbibing pleasure.

Tons of great beers available to go or to stay and they also do a tight menu of burgers, a few Sammie’s and some tasty lookin appetizers….I visited before the kitchen was up and going for the day, so….next time.

If you are a fan of word class hazy IPA, over the top stouts as well as some great sours…this just might be a great place for you to check out.

 

Very nice location near old town in Philly (just a bit north of that). Indoor space is pretty large with plenty of seating. The bar is sizeable and is one of those oval shape, so you can get access to the area from practically any side. The building looks very modern with lots of natural light and those 'garage door' type walls on a couple of sides where they could be opened on a really nice day (which it was the day that I went). Outdoor space is huge with a lot of seating and some standard 'bar games' available to patrons (like corn hole).

The vibe is solid with mostly a 'younger' crowd. It can get a bit loud and it doesn't seem like it's overly crowded by young families. A few TVs lend themselves to different sporting events being broadcast, which is a plus. The beer selection was extensive, both for on-site and to-go. Food was very good with choices being your typical modern twist on bar classics.

Overall, I really like this place. On a 3 days trip, I ended up coming here twice so.... yes. Definitely recommended if in Philadelphia.
