CrabHouse Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Update - as of 8/5/2023 they are not located at 5322 Chew Ave. They are still located at the original location near the corner of Germantown and Chelten Ave. I dont know why the address is wrong online or why the owner hasn't fixed it but head to the old spot. Still serving food and good drinks.

This is my go to spot for cheap (considering the size), well made drinks. Average of $10 and under for top shelf. Staff is always nice and music is usually good. The crowd can be questionable depending on the day and time you visit, but it's always a good time. And if your hungry the food is actually good and reasonably priced.

PS - if you came here back when they charged a cover to get in, they dont do that anymore. And it's not nearly as crowded. Nice chill spot...

It was as if I was hanging on the street corner hearing about everybodies business . I won't be back . This place got sooooo ghetto . It use to have a little class. Now it has...

Ordered a ribeye medium rare - got a hockey puck for a steak my steak knife couldn't cut through it -the ENTIRE piece of steak ...and $40 or whatever it cost ...went in the trash. Charged me $5 for a baked potato and forgot to include it in the bag. I tried to call 3x and no answer so I'm leaving this review instead. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere - for the price AND the quality. 1* bc the service (when they answered)...
