The Black Taxi - Philadelphia

This is the greatest neighborhood bar, great service. Always smiley bartenders and staff. Food is sooooo good, and beer well-served.Atmosphere is great for any type of day. Even if is not a Friday or Saturday.

The Fish sandwich here is a tasty, crispy, bigger than the bun tavern experience paired with fresh house-cut fries. Good beer selection and watch the big games especially soccer here.

Reasonably priced drinks, the door man was wonderful! I had come in with a few ladies I met tonight and they left a few minutes before me so I was alone, the door man walked out with me and made sure the license plate was correct on my Uber before letting me go. I go to bars alone often and have never had someone pay such close attention to my safety.

We sat outside. Got our drinks. Then we had to move because they were getting a delivery.The steak sandwich was dry.The waiter was slow.My lunch mate's side order was wrong (fries instead of salad) but the waiter took the whole thing away, despite the main dish being hot and my lunch mate being hungry!I paid with a debit card which I NEVER do because the menu said there would be a surcharge for using a credit card, but I was charged and they said it was for using any card!I won't be back anytime soon.

My wife and I go here about 7-8 times a year. They have a decent Irish breakfast, as far as I can find in philly. Guinness is good here. Pretty good selection of Irish whiskey. Normally the staff is super nice and tonight they weren 't. Maybe if they picked their heads out of their phone and smiled and said Hi, I wouldn 't make a review like this. Since is this avenue is the only way they can communicate, I will leave this review. Might 've been an off night but it was Friday night and I think that is go time at a pub. Found a spot east and north one. People were friendly.
