Brewery ARS — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Sadly I moved away a little over a year ago, but I still use ARS as the standard for a small craft brewery. This place is simply perfection. Everything about it. The staff, the location, the art, the atmosphere. I miss coming here with my wife every week. I miss celebrating our milestones, I miss seeing our friends, I miss talking with the bartenders and staff, I miss making new friends with others that share my love for the brewery, I miss ordering to-go cans every week during the pandemic and tipping extra to help support them, I miss Ramble Pizza, and most of all - I miss the amazing beers. Literally every single beer. Over a four-year period I had to have tried at least 30 or 40 different ARS beers. It is almost mathematically impossible to have that many and not find a single one that wasn't good. It's just astounding how consistent they are. I miss it so much and I can't wait to come back and order several cases to take...

For a new/ young brewery, the ARS brothers are turning out some very tasty beer. Definitely leaning more toward the bitter side of the spectrum which is OK by my palette, but that could just be their early offerings. A little bit more variety in that department would have pleased my company. That being said, I applaud the hop-forward approach but not when it sacrifices depth of flavor. ARS strikes a nice balance. Philly was in need of another quality brewery within city limits, and in the early goings ARS exceeds expectations. It's a cool, no frills space in an established S. Philly neighborhood....

Brewery ARS is a small, quaint brewery on Passyunk with some phenomenal beer. We parked a few blocks away on our first visit, and we were a little surprised by the location and inconspicuous facade. However, the beers do not disappoint. They truly crush the hazy, juicy IPA trend, and add a little originality without a heap of fruit or sweetness.

They seating area is small and it’s truly no frills; no music or tall stack of games. They are dog friendly, and offer the occasional food truck and a small menu of snacks. Highly recommend for true...
