Wow, we were really impressed on our first visit. The space is amazing. It's huge, open and feels very historic. I wonder what the building used to be. Also, all the exterior walls are huge windows, and if they open (it looks like they do) this will be great when it warms up. Service was very friendly and attentive. They have table service, which makes is great because it means you don't have to crush up to the bar to order. There is a small food menu which is well curated and of great quality. We had the pretzel and enjoyed it.
But what really matters is the beer, and what we had was excellent. They offer three sizes (4, 10, and 16oz) which makes it very easy to try a variety of things. I know Triple Bottom has been getting a lot of hype at the moment, but again, on this first visit, it feels warranted. I hope that they keep it up.
I have two small critiques. One, it's extremely loud and echo-y. They would benefit from hanging something to absorb some sound. Two, they charge a 10% tax on the beer on top of the bill. I get it, but I have to admit that even though it's stated on the menu, it kind of feels like a hidden fee. I'd happily just pay $1 more for the cheaper beers to make up the difference, so they could include the tax in the prices like most places do.
But, these two things did not take away from our experience. We will enthusiastically be back soon.
**Added as an edit after looking at some of the other reviews. If you love places like Roy Pitz and Yards, it's unfair to come into Triple Bottom expecting the same thing. It's...
Read moreTriple Bottom Brewing is the perfect event space for an intimate and incredible vibe! We were eager to find an LGBTQ+ friendly, neighborhood space with excellent beer- and we found just that in TBB!
The team is excellent and truly wants to make sure your dream becomes a reality. Nathan was a phenomenal partner to work with while planning our wedding. He was timely in responses to our endless questions, thorough in explaining all the options available to us, and flexible in adjusting to some of our last minute creative additions to the night.
On the day of the wedding, Nathan and the larger TBB team made everything go off without a hitch- making sure the space was set up for our ceremony, transforming the remainder of the venue to for dinner and dancing. They also worked closely with the other vendors of the night to make sure everyone had seamless load in and load out experiences- so it was nice as the brides to not have to worry about coordinating that on our wedding day.
We truly could not have asked for a better experience from start to finish! Highly recommend hosting your next event, wedding, or party here! You...
Read moreTriple Bottom is an awesome addition to the Philly brewery scene. The taproom is a bright space with high ceilings which feels like a community center carrying a different vibe than your typical industrial chic atmosphere. There are games and a mix of high tops, community tables, and lounge seating to pick from.
The beer selection is basic with nothing too adventurous, but they execute well. Honestly, the beer was much better than the Untapped ratings suggest. They offer flights for those looking to figure out what they like or simply sample a little of everything. They also offer a short list of food offerings, but you’ll have to grab a menu. We ordered our drinks from the board above the register and didn’t figure that out until we were wrapping up.
Uniquely, they’ve also got a strong mission/purpose which encourages community involvement and diversity. You’ll notice the staff is diverse and friendly, and they’ve got a few jars with community projects to vote for with your coaster.
Great spot for a few beers. Can’t wait to watch them build on the social...
