The International Bar — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Came here yesterday after being very disappointed by the lack of shade and non-hoppy beers at Evil Genius down the block. We had ridden our bikes up here from Center City to see the neon museum and saw both of these places on our way up and wanted to stop in on the way home.

There was plenty of seating available at Intl in the yellow streetery outside so we grabbed a table after checking inside to make sure that was okay. We were happy to see this place is very dog-friendly -- there were at least 3 outside with us! (We don't own dogs, but like being around other people's dogs.) One dog was very upset when a baby started crying -- so protective, and it wasn't even her human's baby! The entertainment here was great.

We looked at the menu via the contactless QR code on the table and I went with the Hefeweizen on draft. Much smoother than the beers EG had on tap. My husband got a pony bottle of High Life because why not. We also ended up trying the Chicago veggie dogs. Having been to Chicago in the last 2 years and eaten loads of Chicago dogs, I feel qualified to say this was a good take on it! The only thing I would change is to add the green relish (keep the pickle too!) and tone the mustard seed way down. I teared up a little eating that hot dog with all the mustard seed, haha. Our server checked in on us without rushing us out or trying to insist we should order more -- very chill vibes here. The to-go woman was on roller blades and I thought that was cool.

Overall, a great experience and if I found myself back this way, I'd be more likely to just start here than at...

Bar + food with a ton of options! I can't recommend this place enough, I can't say much about the alcohol (silly since this is mainly a bar) but DEFINITELY come here for the Katsu Sandos!

We came here entirely by chance while walking around hungry and boy am I glad we did. We were super surprised to see a Japanese staple on the menu and it was absolutely delicious. The bread is incredibly soft and is most likely delicious milk bread, the sauce is perfect and the chicken is crispy and delicious!

I personally only liked the Girls On Film cocktail out of the lot, and the others i tried weren't that good but but I'm not willing to drop a star for that since the sandos were that good. My friend had the shrimp po boy and it was just as tasty too.

I already came back for the katsu, but I definitely need to come back to try more of the cocktails.

Service is great and everyone's nice, vibe is very nice as well and they have outside tables too.

They have tons of events and stuff too so make...

Ate outside with HEATED SEATS!! If nothing else come to try the heated seats and a beer. The drinks are delicious I got the BDSM which is a banana rum concoction and my husband got a sour beer, I will say that the drinks were on the small side for the price and didn't seem that heavy handed in the alcohol. The food was definitely drinking food but delicious, we had the fried halloumi which is exactly how I've gotten it in Czech Republic, down to the pickled vegetables as a side. My husband got the Chicago dog, which for $4 is a great price, but not as fully loaded as Chicago dogs I'm used to but still good for those drunk nights. I would recommend this for those late nights when you get a bunch of friends together to drink and just want little nibbling food that goes along good with that. They also appear to have an outdoor venue section so you'll definitely be back to check out live...
