We stumbled across this gem on a Monday night looking for a spot to have dinner and drinks. It seems most places that were in walking distance to us were closed, but we're glad Urban Saloon wasn't. They happened to be having a Bachelorette watch party going on upon our arrival. (Not our thing, but we didn't mind.) Turns out, during commercial breaks they play Bachelorette bingo and give away prizes (don't know what they were; we didn't win.) But r still had fun playing. They also had a baseball game on other TVs for those who wanted to watch the Phillies, but audio feed was Bachelorette. Food was good and service was really great! Shout out to Gabby! If you go to Eastern State Penitentiary, this would be a great easy place to grab a bite to eat after. Our cost per person was based on multiple alcoholic beverages per person. The space cleared out fast after the watch party was over.

This is a fantastic bar & grill right near the Eastern State Penitentiary. The decor is spot on! We stopped in for lunch after touring the prison. We were greeted immediately, seated right away, and given carafes of water. We order the app special of deep fried bacon, which my husband just HAD to try, especially at $5. It was deicious!!! Our party had the Baked Mac & Cheese with Panko topping (very delicious fresh take on this comfort food), the Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup (absolutely delicious), and the Chicken and Waffles (the chicken was moist and delicious, and the waffle was perfect). Our waitress was quick to bring more carafes of water as she saw us need them, and the food was quick enough. All in all this is a place we would definitely try again!

I've been here a handful of times in different groups, and wanted to finally leave a review after snagging some pictures of the food. Overall, Urban Saloon is a fun, perfectly fine bar to watch some sports or hang with friends. If you're planning to come specifically for the food, I'd recommend against that. The food is fine, but there are better options locally. I'll also say that when it gets busy it can become almost impossible to hear people at your own table inside, so I'd recommend sitting outside. Regardless, Urban Saloon is a popular bar in Fairmount and it's easy to see why. Just don't set your expectations too high.

We went to this Saloon for drinks and sat at the bar to end our full day of exploring Philadelphia. This place was suggested to walk to from our hotel. It was cozy and friendly with a great vibe. We had a great barmaid, she gave us samples of their local IPAs to try before ordering them; she was very friendly and fun to talk to and always available. The beers came cold with a cold glass. There were many selections of beers. It was a big bar with many seating. It was during the week and it was not very crowded which was perfect for us. It wasn’t noisy so we were able to have conversations. Great place to enjoy a drink.

Visited Urban Saloon for their touted Chicken and Waffles and to try the Watermelon Margaritas. The food did not disappoint on flavor, but the sauce choice was a misstep – it clashed rather than complemented, something better served on the side. A request for syrup was necessary to round out the dish. The margaritas, however, were a refreshing triumph, balancing sweet and tart perfectly. Service was prompt, yet having to ask for what should be a waffle accompaniment standard was a slight letdown. Did even take puctures of the food which is unusual for me lol. Great potential with a tweak or two!
