Probably my favorite bar in Manayunk, partly for having an excellent beer list (AND a great half-off all drafts from 5 to 7, M-F); partly for having very decent food which is not overpriced IMO; and partly for being such a funky neighborhood place in which the decor seems to be untouched since the days when it was an old corner tappy for Yunkers. Â The ironic thing is that the couple who own OE also own Devils Den in South Philly, which has been beautifully and expensively rehabbed. Â (DD also has excellent beer list with the same happy hours prices, and delicious food. Â And they've recently taken control of the old General Lafayette brewpub in Lafayette Hill, which is encouraging for that place).
Responding to the reviewer of May 4th who was there for the dog fiasco: Â I was also there in that back room that night with a group of friends. Â We actually sat down before their group, and there was already a pile of dog crap near the table, whcih some of us soon caught the scent of. Â That got cleaned up and apologized for, and then about 30 minutes later Odin, the owners' dog, came back and did it in the same spot! Â The bar was very busy and the cleanup did not happen within seconds, but it was cleaned up and the male co-owner apologized to us and told us that Odin had eaten an entire stick of pepperoni from their kitchen counter (at home) and this was the result. Â Yeah, the smell didn't go away immediately because the bar doesn't have an open-able window in that room. Â Not the most pleasant experience, but if you own pets, an understandable one. Â You might say, WTF is a dog doing in a bar that serves food anyway?!, but even as a non-dog owner, I appreciate their letting their customers bring their dogs in. Â It's part of the friendly vibe of the Old Eagle.
This is my friends' favorite bar, and I love little local pubs, so I was really excited. Â When we got there, it was packed, so we sat in the back. Â The food and beer was good, although a little over-priced. Â While I was eating, two dogs kept coming up and begging for food, which I found really annoying, especially considering I am allergic to dogs. Â All of a sudden, one of the dog has diarrhea all over the floor. Â It took the owner 10 minutes to clean it up. Â He never apologized or offered any of the 10 patrons in that room a free beer or refund. Â He also did not clean up the smell. Â When I went to complain and said it still smelled, he just shrugged his shoulder and said, "the dog doesn't usually do this." Â The stench was so bad we had to leave. Â I didn't even half finish my meal because of the smell and I got no refund. Â Talk about a health code violation. Â If you want your dogs in a bar, they need to be well trained. Â It is NOT OK to have them beg for food that you are buying from their owner and certainly not OK to ruin people's meals by defecating on the floor. Â This bar is a health code violation waiting to happen....
Review Source:In the old days[1], say back in halcyon '06, Flat Rock was the beer drinker's go-to in Manayunk. I'm not sure if their selection has decreased or if selections around them have increased, but I believe the new reigning champion is the Old Eagle.
The beer list here is pretty amazing. They have a wide range of interesting beers on tap, and a huge bottle selection. In fact, I was here during Philly Beer Week and sat next to Tom Kehoe, owner of Yards, as he tapped a firkin of Citra Pale Ale. We had an awesome conversation where he helped me calculate the ABV of the first beer I brewed on the back of a napkin![2]
There is also an interesting crowd here for Manayunk. The crowd definitely is on the young side.[3] But they are usually more let's say, restrained, than the usual phalanx of young partygoers who maraude through the neighborhood. Everyone is really chill and there because they love craft beer. So I'd say this is a win over all.
Brunch is also good. [4] It can take awhile to come out, but the food is usually well prepared and tasty.
So if you have your sherpa and yeti and are ready for a trip up into the hills of Dear 'Ol Manyunk, I recommend Old Eagle.
[1] Yes, I just used the phrase "in the old days." While this is generally followed with sentiments requesting that these damn kids get off my lawn, I assure you I will refrain from making such a request.
[2] True story, bro
[3] Same kids who I wish to, but will not ask to, get off my lawn
[4] Yes, I realize that I mention brunch in every review I write
Neighborhood bars don't get any better than this. It's cozy place and the bartenders are always super nice and make sure you are well taken care of. The draft line-up is full of delicious craft beer with a well stocked selection of bottles behind the bar as well. They are a dog friendly bar and it's so nice to have a place so close that you can stop by for a meal and a beer and not have to worry about your dog being left alone at home. There is not a thing on their menu that is a bad choice. Every time that I have gone here I have left as a happy boy.
Review Source:This place is getting a 3 star rating... for now. Â We stopped in on or way back home from a night out for one last round. Â I love a good beer list, nothing better. Â But a place like this needs to have a $3 domestic on tap. Â I'm not trying to dilute what this place is obviously proud of, but come on. Â You're a dive bar. Â Every beer can't be 4.50 and up.
Im going to return, because I want to like this place. Â I'll try the food and give the drinking another try. Â For now, its stuck at a 3.
The best beer list in Manayunk. Â Old Eagle is constantly rotating through an extensive list of micro-brews. Â As a beer lover, there is no better place to go, especially during their killer half-price happy hour. Â I have discovered many, many beers here over the years. Â They also have a really good beer flight deal which is perfect as a starter. Â
The food is also quite good, especially for a bar. Â They have the standard bar fare, as well as a few fancier dishes. Â
Bar tenders are always nice and very helpful. Â They always allow samples of the beers and are quick with a recommendation if you get overwhelmed. Â
Though the bar is tiny, it has a good neighborhood bar feel. Â Sports are always on the TV and good music is always playing. Â
Just writing this review is making me want to go there.
Where do I begin?
It's the day after Christmas.  It is raining and we mistakingly parked 3 blocks away.  We walk in and are absolutely surprised- there's nobody there.  The smiling bartender greets us and  I realize TV on the Radio is playing- I instantly fall in love.
Two shots of Makers Mark and we realize we are starving. Â
That's when the fun began......
1. Barbeque Wings- crisp, tender, and covered in a sweet and rich sauce
2. TOMATO BISQUE- creamy, rich and made with fresh ingredients (I only got a spoonful before he completely devoured the bowl)
3. French Fries- they're hand cut and they come with this creamy condiment that makes ketchup seem childish.
4. Gnocchi with chicken in a cream sauce- Â Fabulous! Â He ate it the next day at work
5. Sliders- Tender, juicy beef on a nice soft roll which reminded me of Le Bus rolls at Sketch Burger. Â It was topped with pickles, arugula, and tomato.
Luckily the Chef was leaving once we were done our meal and we got to meet her. Â My dude was super excited and (literally) told her that he wished I cooked like her.
Shout Out to Chef Morgan! Hopefully I'll be able to cook again without being reminded of her greatness.
First off, I am a bit reclutant to give this 3 stars, so let me start off what is good with the place. Â A lot of the 4 stars and 5 stars reviews I agree a lot with. The bartender is one of the most friendliest guys you'll ever meet. Â I am an animal lover, so I love the dog who came and enjoy petting him between drinks. Â Not to mention I enjoy the original taps that are here. Â I also love the old bar atmosphere and the horseshoe place.
So what's wrong? Â No, I don't have problem with a location and then I had to drive a mile to park. Â Its just that and I know that are plenty of Yelpers who disagree with me, the food didn't do it for me. Â I didn't care for the burger, which seems to have carrots in it, didn't find the meat that great nor the fries any better. Â There are other Yelpers who disagree with me so maybe you'll agree with them not me. Â If so, great. Â I don't mind coming back every now and then, but if the owner is reading it (or better yet the chef), don't take it too personally, if I only get drinks from now on. You run a great place but it doesn't do it for me on the eating side of things.
Old Eagle Tavern is your typical neighborhood corner bar but BETTER! Â It's got all the qualities of your favorite local bar (divey, quirky regulars, take-out beer, sociable bartenders, bar games), but the beer selection is always fantastic, and the food that comes out of their kitchen will definitely surprise you. Â It's the best of both worlds here - old school dive meets (dare I say) gastropub. Â There's a huge selection of bottles, but the best part is the draft selection - 11 rotating taps - and good specials on the beer during happy hour.
The food is high quality - hand cut fries with yummy aioli, Pierogie Kitchen pierogies and a solid selection of sandwiches (hanger steak and burger rock). Â Often I end up getting one of the food specials, which are creative and seasonal; flatbreads have been mostly awesome (sometimes the toppings sound like they'd be weird - once I had a clams casino flatbread, and it was probably the best thing I've ever had there and a spot-on recreation of mom's homemade clams casino that everyone wants at every family get-together). Â This is now my default don't-feel-like-cooking dinner spot (thanks to Emmett M. for the tip!) Â I can't wait to stumble over here for brunch some morning.
Probably my favorite bar in Manayunk. If you don't mind walking about 5 blocks you'll find plenty of parking on Ridge ave before you turn onto Terrace. Otherwise just get there early for the 1/2 off any draft beer happy hour. Now this may sound like an ok deal, but when you figure that they are full pours of 16oz or 10oz high ABV beers you'll understand why it's a fantastic deal. You get beers that normally cost $5-8 elsewhere for $2-3 a pop between the hours of 5pm -7pm M-F.
And worry not macro brew drinkers, they have bottles of Miller Light and cans of Pabst for anyone who doesn't like heavy beers. You can always expect a full spread of IPAs, porter/ stouts, a lager or pils, some wheat beers, and anything else they have stored in the basement.
This is one of the only places in Manayunk to play pool and it's free on Mondays. If the pool table is being used ask for some darts and pass the time that way. There's always seating, usually at the bar, unless you get there late on a Friday or Saturday. It's not a fancy place, jeans and a t-shirt will do, though I have worn a dress there on an occasion or two. And it's not a young disrespectful crowd either. Great for any adults, from young professionals to our parents.
I could keep going on about what else I like about this place, like the food, ambiance, location (not on Main St), but I think what really solidifies this place as the best are the bartenders. They are always attentive and don't play eye contact games, no matter how busy they are. Yeah you have to wait sometimes, but they acknowledge your presence and get to you as soon as they can.
To sum it up, this is Manayunk, don't come here if you expect to park within a block of the establishment you want to go, unless of course you're willing to get there early (by 7 the latest). It's well worth the frustration for reasonably priced beers, in a great location, with some thing to do other than stand around, that has ample seating, good food, and great bartenders. You should definitely check this place out!
i've lived in manayunk for a little over 6 months now, and while i love the blue collar feel of the neighbourhood, the bars are a different story.
then i found old eagle.
this place is perfect for the area. the staff is casual, the place is dive-y, the beer is phenomenal and the food is way above average. they have a brunch that is to die for - framboise french toast, wheat beer mimosas, if you haven't tried it already you're missing out.
next time you want to go out in manayunk, skip the douche bars on main street and head to old eagle. you'll be glad you did.
This is hands down the BEST BAR in Manayunk and one of the best in Philadelphia.
The beer selection on draft, bottle, cans, and pump is outstanding and a gem. I haven't found a bar like it elsewhere in Manayunk. Dawson may come close but then Old Eagle's food menu comes into play.
This place has some of the best food in town for the price. From the cheesesteak springrolls to the flatbreads to the crabcake pita selection. It's outstanding.
The bartender(s) have always been down to earth and real.
The locals are cool and friendly.
A previous poster had commented on dogs. While people have mixed feelings on this subject, I would like to remind you that this is a neighborhood bar with neighborhood people. I have witnessed dogs in bars before and have always enjoyed the additional company and atmosphere.
It's a shame the previous comment had an unpleasant experience. I couldn't imagine the owner or the bar putting up with something of that sort.
Old Eagle always has a mixed / diverse crowd of people. It's not your typical college / main street crowd. They've got a pool table, dart board, used to be a skeeball table as well.
The music selection is good. The pub like atmosphere reminds me a lot of London and Europe. As do the people.
The Old Eagle is a true gem and one of my favorite places to relax after a long work week.
I can't promise the type of experience you'll have but I can promise it will be an experience that won't make you forget.
Definitely check it out.
(the amazing beer selection is also available for take out!)
The rotating draft is amazing here and they also have a solid bottle/can selection. Â The food and the bartenders are superb as well. Â The half price draft happy hour does not hurt either!
Been coming here for some time for happy hours with friends especially on Monday when the pool table is open and free!
I don't give bad reviews lightly -- in fact, I believe this is my first negative Yelp review -- but Old Eagle Tavern has such bad energy.... I have to speak out.
The owner is a dumbass. He has this big, stupid dog that jumps all over people & and attacks other dogs. We were told this place was dog friendly so we brought our well-behaved, elderly mixed breed -- only to be warned by a waitress that the owner's dog was coming in and he's "rambunctious."
Ha! Rambunctious is not the word. Aggressive is the word. Untrained, is another that would apply. Â The owner cruelly let his dog continue to hump & push our old dog around until we had to leave. On our way out the door, the owner was LAUGHING at us, and had an attitude like our dog was a wussy and his was a big bad strong dog, oh yeah, isn't that great... And then he let his dog chase us into the street, where his dog continued to RUN UNLEASHED UP THE ROAD until we finally got to our car.
This owner then started yelling at his own dog, who continued running in the street... For a former policeman, this jackass has NO CONTROL over his animal, and no clue as to how inconsiderate & just plain dangerous it is to let a big German Shepherd run free like that. German Shepherds are dominant breeds, and without discipline, this dog is a ticking time bomb.
Just to be clear, here: I don't usually write bad reviews. I'm not a complainer -- we paid our tab & tipped & remained calm/courteous/upbeat throughout this experience. The owner didn't seem to have any idea he did anything wrong, he didn't intentionally seem to be running us out, nor did he seem angry or anything but amused (& proud of his bruiser dog) that we were leaving. I doubt our concerns even registered with him. And to be fair, his dog isn't vicious -- just very pushy & excitable in rather threatening ways (to other dogs). But the dog is young, still, and without training his behavior's only gonna escalate.
I have been to Old Eagle without my dog in the past, and it was an OK place -- a cut above your average "two dollar miller lite douche bar" but hardly an establishment you'd seek out for particularly good beer or food. After meeting the owner, though, and seeing him in action, I feel that even one cent spent in an establishment such as this would be wasted on someone with no regard for his customers and even less for common courtesy.
Honestly, if you could've seen this guy's face! He was clearly pleased with his brute of a dog and unconcerned with his own customers. What. A. Jerk.
If you love animals, this is a bar owner to make your skin crawl. There are MUCH better bars... try Franklin's by the East Falls train station or East Falls TapRoom on Midvale.
The only difference between Old Eagle Tavern and that sports bar in Wichita, Kansas that I went to is that the Old Eagle Tavern is in Roxborough...
...and you can get a 6-pack.
...and risk getting your car towed because there's no parking. Anywhere.
So unless you love the Philly's so damn much that you'd be willing to pay more for your Miller Light and risk a parking fine that would cost as much as your airline ticket to that sports bar in Wichita, I suggest you'd head elsewhere.
Arg, I remember it well... I was here but once, on a dreary Sunday in October but a year ago. I was with a group who relished craft beers and
Aye, me Mateys...Have ye ever ate something somewhere, from a place that seems oceans away and ages ago and can't get to very often, and this meal  affected you so very deeply that NOT ONLY did the meal NOT give ye gout, but was so delicious that it seeps into yer dreams like a seductive siren luring you, wailing her banshee song? Aye, friends and chronies, I have been to this place. I have tasted the treasure, and I have since dreamed of once again braving the seas (or the septa train that goes to Manayunk)  ever since. So, I have but 2 words for you all as you read this; as you sit wondering about the little dive bars' offerings and about how ON EARTH this beer crew can know ANYthing about vegetarian food, I say to ye THIS:
SEITAN SKEWERS.
my life has since been changed. And as the bites of faux meat peel aways in layers between your teeth in a melting fashio that only real braised meat can do, you will be in hog(less) heaven. Get them. Do not ask for anything else. They are a substantial meal. And you will say to ye-self. "Damn ye, Gale! You be a bloody GENIUS, what with yer mastery of opinion and angel-face...DAMN YE! Damn ye to the briny bones of Blackbeard!
and I'll say "I'm sorry (nom nom),,, can't hear you-(nom nom)...chewing delicious seitan, busy...(nom nom nom)
This place is a hidden gem! Friends and I have bi-weekly meetups all over manayunk but I think we have unanimously decided to stay loyal to Old Eagle.
1. Elvis the bartender is probably my favorite bartender in the world. He's super informed, super friendly, all around awesome guy. If you tell him what kind of beer you like, he'll turn around and give you a sample of something that you will fall in love with. (I'm thinking particularly of the hand-pumped victory hop wallop... SO TASTY!... and of course when I asked him about it he went on to school me on the processes of what made it taste so great)
2. The food is awesome. If you get the grilled veggie sandwich/panini it will be coming from fresh picked ingredients from their backyard. Where else will you get that? Oh and the beer selection--- bueno!
3. Games, pool, darts, fun people!
They have been more than accommodating to the large groups we've brought in and the service is seriously the best. I can't say enough good things about this place. Long live Old Eagle Tavern.
I went to Old Eagle with 2 friends last night. My one friend loves the place, but the other 2 of us had never been there. And probably would have never discovered it if he hadn't recommended it.
Walking in, the place looked like any other low-key, diveyish bar. But, no...
First, they have an awesome beer selection, both draft and bottles. One of my favorite things to do when I go to a place with unique beers on tap is try a few samples and discover something new and wonderful. Well, our bartender, Elvis, was very friendly and accommodating. Not only did he let my friends and I sample a few beers until we found a winner, but he was also quite knowledgeable about all of them (taste, texture, etc.). I commented to him that I really appreciate it when bartenders--like him--know their stuff.
Another plus, they have pool tables and darts (we played darts). And since I love specials, I should mention they have some great ones: M-F Happy Hour with 1/2 off drafts and $2 domestic bottles, free pool all night Monday, and $1 off wheats on Wednesday. I haven't tried their food yet (but it seems like the reviews of it on here are all positive so will try next time).
Anyway, in sum, we all really loved the place and had a great time. After paying $5 to get into Mad River where we could barely hear each other, and kept getting bumped into as we tried to find a spot on the deck, this was certainly a welcome reprieve. Seems like a really great place to go with a close group of friends, to discover some new beers or find your favorite, or even if you just want to engage in conversation with a friendly bartender.
Will definitely be back myself. Also, I co-organize a twice-monthly Monday Manayunk Meetup for a group of local and international travelers and will be suggesting this for our next meetup in two weeks, as well as adding to the rotation for future meet-ups.
My hubby and I came here after having read such great reviews about their lamb burgers. As (bad) luck would have it, they were out of lamb burgers the night we went; however, our server/bartender was great as he comped my hubby's beer since he saw our disappointment. Our burgers and fries were pretty good, and we hope to return with better luck next time, as we still want to try the lamb burgers.
Review Source:When I moved from CC to Roxborough, I was sad I wasn't going to find a place I'd like to hang out...and then I found this place!
Not only does Old Eagle had a great selection of beers, both draft and bottled, but they have GREAT food. My personal favorites are their wings, the pulled pork sandwich and their burger. They also have incredible flat bread selection.
I seriously love this place!
This is a good, solid old fashioned place. Â No bs, no hassle and I think the clientele reflects that.
I came here to drink beer and play pool. Â I was able to do just that. Â I happened upon a Weyerbacher event (being beer week) so I even got to try a new beer from them. Â They had a minor tap-takeover going on. Â The Quebeck was a really tasty offering.
The interior of this place is old school, like 60s era. Â There is wood paneling and a parkay floor. Â Inside, one of the patrons had their dog with them. Â Are you getting the image yet?
The pool table, along with the cues, were in surprisingly good condition. Â There was a felt brush sitting on the pool table. Â I was impressed by these details.
We didn't eat, we just drank and shot pool. Â No one bothered us or got in our way. Â The tvs had the phillies game on and people were cheering yelling but not in that dude-bro sort of way that annoys you.
Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I appreciate a corner spot like this. Â You can walk in and do your thing without any hassle. Â Check your pomp and circumstance at the door, they don't belong here.
So this was bar two in the top of the hill bar crawl and once again I'm happy to say will be back. Â We pulled in just before midnight and were greeted by the friendly bar staff. Â They have a great selection of craft beers and I sampled a Blue Point toasted lager. Â I must say it was delicious and even better as Sue brought the round. Â I here the food is quite good and looking at the menu, they have a nice selection. Â The bar is down the street from the Terrace Tavern and we made the walk in less than 5 min.. Â We selected 5 bars for the night with the East End, Dawson Street & T. Hogan's pub being the other three. Â Accept for the East End all the bars have a great selection of craft beers on tap, so it makes for a good night for us beer geeks. Â I must wonder back in here on night for the food as more than one person has raved about it.
Review Source:I picked this place off Yelp because I needed to find a bar to meet up with some friends. Picking a bar online is not easy. But this place was awesome.
First, great beer list. I was super disappointed because they happened to be out of the pumpkin beer, which sounded great. Instead, I went with the Avery White Rascal (a little too light for me) and the Arcadia IPA (which I liked).
Second, the bartender was super great. She was friendly and easy to have conversation with. And she was nice enough to give us tastes of the beer, which I always appreciate because I'm really indecisive.
Fourth, nice website. It surprising that such a little bar has such a nice website that actually lists all the beers they have, and what beers they have coming up. It makes me want to go back.
Parking was awful though. I'm not used to extremely crowded street parking, so it was a bit of a nightmare for me.
Service: Like I said, the bartender was top notch.
Environment: Feels like a neighborhood bar. Very relaxed and chill. Pretty small space, so it could easily get crowded (I went on Labor Day, so it was quite empty). TV to watch a game.
Old Eagle Tavern is the perfect dive bar; great food, plenty to drink, and a very cool relaxed atmosphere. There's a big white husky that roams the bar, he's a regular. The bartenders and patrons are always friendly. It's the type of establishment where you always end up chatting to the bartender and the people sitting next to you. They usually always have a game on the tv, but if there's nothing good playing they may put up a old black and white film on the flat screen.
The food is great, and that's definitely the highlight of the place. The lamb burger is a must, the pulled pork sandwich is also delicious, and even though you may not believe me the chicken tacos are really great as well. The food is basically pub far, so it's diverse, easy to eat with your hands and always tasty. Definitely try the peirogies, there's always a different type depending on the day but they are very very good. One of the most notable things on the menu is the beer floats. That's right - beer and ice cream, it's sounds weird but it's magical. They offer different varieties and flavors like oatmeal stout and chocolate ice cream - just like mama used to make. Â
The beer list rotates but they always have a sophisticated and diverse draught selection. The bartenders are always willing to give you a taste before you drop your hard earned dollars on a new beer. I highly recommend this place if you like good beer, good food, and low key bar where you can always have an interesting convo.
Awesome selection of beers, great bar staff, and is usually the perfect crowd for a low key bar night. Two dart boards and a pool table complete the time. Having been born and raised right up the street, it's nice to go to a neighborhood bar that isn't full of neighborhood people every now and then.
Review Source:Even though we live in the 'Yunk, we rarely eat at the local bars. Â Generally, we just didn't think that bars catering to college students would be worth our time, and that bars frequented by generations of locals (usually from the same family) wouldn't be very good. Â Boy were we wrong. Â We took a chance on Old Eagle because they were doing an Earth Day promo where they donated a portion of the proceeds to a local park so my wife and I took a chance and stopped in. Â Wow.
OK so let's get over the negatives first. Â The place was relatively crowded and there was only one bartender who also ran the food service. Â That struck us as annoying, and it took a bit to get his attention just because it was so busy. Â In his defense, he knew it was busy and it was also hockey playoffs, so it may have been more crowded than usual.
But the FOOD! Â Oh man, the food was incredible. Â First of all, the selection was eclectic to say the least. Â Hummus variations at a "dive" bar? Â Lamb meatballs? Â Fries to die for? Â It was amazing. Â The wife and I had a great time, just sitting around enjoying our meal and the beers. Â I highly recommend the Great Lakes beers - they were on special that night and well worth your time. Â The bartender was attentive and prompt with our food, even though it was crazy busy. Â And we fed Layla the bar mascot, getting her in trouble. Â Sorry, Layla!
The food is reasonably priced - I don't recall seeing anything on the menu over $10 but we ate a lot so it ended up being an expensive night out. Â But it was well worth it and we plan to go back again.
Gotta love the Ol' Iguodala. The beer selection here is pretty large and stocked with ones I've never heard of, but I like that (don't bother looking for a Bud Light). The food at O.E. is also well above par for a local bar. Many a Phillies' game I have stopped by on the way home, and they didn't even get angry with my repeat attempts to steal their one-ton (must be the wieght if I can't lift it) cigar Indian statue; for some reason their beer always makes me feel powerful enough to throw it onto my shoulder and walk home up the hill. If I'm not feeling particullarly strong, they always have a real cork dartboard, a pool table, and a shuffle board bowling game to get into. Everyone's friendly there, bar dog included, even when I occasionally return to pay tabs I forgot the night before (and especially when I return to pay tabs I thought I forgot, but actually did not). Great bar to go chill in any night of the week, or at least to jump start your night on Main st.
***they do 6 packs to go!***
The Old Eagle is a great example of Philly neighborhood bar. Â The atmosphere is very relaxed and everyone (staff and patrons) is friendly. Â I live a few blocks away, so I'm in there often to play some darts, grab a bite or just sit at the bar and enjoy some beers.
The beer selection is very good, a rotating series of about 10 taps, which usually includes a good variety of micros (local and national) and a couple of imports. Â The imports are usually things that are common (franziskaner for example), but the micros and botttles often yield nice surprises.
The food is solid, definitely above average bar food.
Old Eagle is great; it's the perfect place for a low key night with an incredible selection of beer. You don't go here for mixed drinks; it is strictly for the suds. The bar tenders have an endless authority on what they serve (or what they will be serving soon) and are great to talk to. This place is what a corner bar should be all about, nothing fancy or trendy, just a place to sit and drink with your friends. I have never had the food, but it seems that I'm going to have to make that a priority. You can shoot pool, throw darts and utilize the juke box all while sipping back on some fine imported brew. It is a hidden treasure tucked away amidst the sprawling hills of Manayunk, I hope it stays that way.
