Philly's is a great spot if you want to kick back with some good bar food and drinks. Â I used to live in the apartments behind Philly's and would wall myself on over to post up at the bar. Â Perfect. Â Now I have moved further up into Scottsdale and still find myself posting up here.
They have a nice patio with the outside bar, TV's and of course misters! Â The bartenders are always friendly and quick with service. Â As far as food goes they actually have some pretty delicious bar food! Mozzarella sticks, potato skins, loaded fries, and the yummy wings! Â They have that yummy creamy ranch that you could swish in your mouth. Â Okay, that's a little overkill but it's really good. :)
They have good drink specials and if your order something that's not on special they will make a suggestion for what is (ie. Captain n' Coke, Sailor Jerry's n' Coke). Â Everyone should appreciate that !
Don't pass this place up. Â Especially if you like watching sports at the bar, it's worth going here. Â Don't expect anything fancy though, it is a laid back bar so plan to just enjoy yourself with friends or alone at the bar is fine too.
Wooohooo!! Love this place. Great place for just about anyone whether you're going for food, drinks or watching any type of sporting event (check out the 5' screen on the porch), but they do charge a cover for live UFC and Boxing events. They actually make "real Phillys" and have quite the selection. Real laid back, comfortable atmosphere and you see all walks of life when you're chillin out here. Bartenders are cool and you will get what you pay for, but you better like stiff drinks! This would be on the top of my list for just getting tossed and having a great time!
Review Source:I go here sometimes with my boy because it's close to his house.There is this Jack Ass bartender that works here and he complains when you go from the outside bar to the game area and leave you glass or dishes. WTF? What type of employee would mention such a thing to a customer, that's a staff issue dude. Sorry Philly's but this rude roid monkey bartender is bringing down your establishment.
Review Source:A customer of mine recommended this place to me a couple months back so when a friend and I made plans to meet for lunch I suggested this place. Â We got there around 11:30 and while it wasn't packed there were definitely more people than I was expecting for a place that had only been open for 30 minutes so far on a Thursday morning. Â The sign at the door said seat yourself so we did and as we were putting our stuff down a friendly waitress came over and handed us our menus and asked about drinks. Â We decided to start with waters in order to give us time to peruse the menu for a couple minutes.
Now, personally I feel it would be wrong to go to a place called Philly's and NOT order a cheese steak so I decided to go with the Original Philly which was meat, cheese wiz and grilled onions. Â My friend decided on a tuna melt and I tried to avoid eye contact for a little bit so she wouldn't see the look of disappointment in my face. Â I liked that there is a big selection of items you get to choose from for the side dish as well. Â I went with curly fries and she got onion rings but you could also choose from fruit, steak fries, coleslaw, a salad and a few other things too!
Our food came out pretty quickly and I knew it was gonna be good as soon as I saw the meaty, melty goodness oozing out of it onto the plate. Â The roll it was on was perfectly toasted, lightly crispy but still soft, the thing was loaded with meat and the meat itself was super flavorful and then of course you can't go wrong with cheese wiz. Â I'm not even embarrassed to admit I ate the whole thing. Â I was originally just going to finish half and save the rest for later but it was so good I couldn't resist. Â The curly fries were great too, nice and crispy with a good flavor. Â Our waitress was great the whole time too, always smiling when she came up to us, good with keeping our drinks filled and checking to make sure we had everything we needed. Â My only regret is that I didn't come here sooner.
Love this place! Â I've been going here for maybe 15 years. Â Some of the best onion rings ever! Â I also love their chicken sandwiches. Â Their wings are delish and they have a fun variety of french fries. They have a great happy hour. Â We go in for lunch and our server Dolly is always exceptional. Â She has the perfect combination of being friendly but also getting things done quickly (since we are on our lunch hour). Â She is at least 1/3rd the reason we go back again and again. Â
Lots of tables, lots of TVs, large patio, games to play (cornhole, pool, etc). Â The place is laid back, neighborhood type bar. Â
But get the onion rings!
My partner was in the mood for beer and wings... ok, it's hot outside let's just go someplace close and locally owned. Â Philly's was it! Â I ordered a sausage calzone, and asked it to be baked a bit less than a hard crust... thought I'd ask... don't know how they normally do it. Â It was big and delicious, and my leftovers were perfect for baking the next day! Â My partner ordered bacon cheese fries (tasty tasty tasty) and wings. Â Since we had hit happy hour, those were $4 dishes. Â Wooo HOOOOO!
The service was fantastic. Â We had two servers checking on us all the time. Â You know, we are just going to have to go there more often!
An old school neighborhood sports bar with a huge smoker-friendly patio. This is a very low key place to get some pub grub and a buzz while watching your favorite team. Not being much of a sports fan, I still like it for it's laid back attitude and cheap drinks. $2 Miller High Life's all day every day!!!!!
Review Source:Amazing Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches & good selection of beers.
I use to come here more often when I lived close, and I would continue to stop by if I lived nearby still. Â The food is so good, I still will show up during times I am in the neighborhood.
The management of this place do a great job, Autumn & Jessica always give amazing service when me & my buddy show up.
This place probably really deserves 5 stars, the only reason why I gave it 4 instead is because there have been a few times (not a lot) that some bar tenders & waitresses that work there were not the greatest at quality service. Â However, don't let a few spoil it for this place, keep in mind Jessica & Autumn with their management leaders are the best (I would say Savannah too, but she no longer works there; she was awesome).
If you like a good sports bar with awesome food & good times, this place is for you!
Philly's is an excellent place to catch your typical sports game, notable soccer match or UFC fight. The restaurant area is a decent size with TVs everywhere especially the inside bar area. Outside, there's tons of seating all around the patio including a rounded bar. What makes Philly's special is the huge pop-up screen on the patio featuring the main event of the evening. I've been there once for an international soccer match and again for UFC fights. Both were showcased on nearly every TV in the place including the screen. It's so big you can see it from across the street. I highly recommend this above average sport's bar!
UFC Fights
-5 dollar cover (ATM inside)
-Get there early because seating goes fast. Though, we showed up late and found a secluded table with a TV just for us!
Food
-We ordered the bbq and honey wings. They were crispy and above average. The honey wings used real honey, which was neat.
Service
-The first time I went, it was sub-par. In their defense, the bartender said two waiters called in sick and it was an unusually large crowd for a weeknight.
-The second time, our waitress was diligent about checking on us even though we didn't order very much. Much improved!
Great Happy Hour from 4-7pm. Nice assortment of beers on tap.
We ended up in Philly's to watch a UFC fight. Â Not wanting to deal with the Scottsdale venues full of crowds and high-prices, a nice neighborhood sports bar sounded perfect. Â There was a small cover at the door due to the fight, but we got a table near a TV with no problem. Â We only had appetizers, but there were some other things on the menu I can't wait to return to sample. Â Southwest cheesesteak with salsa and guacamole? Â Yes please. Â The chicken wings we did try were a solid B+. Â The honey flavor was actual honey, and the wings were very crispy. Â I also appreciated the quantity of carrots/celery.
Although we weren't drinking and were seated away from the crowds, our server was still attentive, sticking her head out every so often to make sure we were still ok. Â At any other bar, the lack of alcohol would have depleted the level of service pretty quickly. Â
UFC isn't exactly my thing, so if I'm going to get dragged to see it, I prefer a comfortable place with good food and Philly's fit the bill. Â But I think I will enjoy coming back without the MMA...actually, I'll likely prefer it.
Spent a good chunk of Saturday at the outdoor portion of this bar watching various NCAA basketball games. A bunch of regular drunks seem to get preferred treatment, but overall the bartender/manager was a nice guy and changed channels and made some conversation when pressed. The guy's name was Jake, making me think he was Jake from State farm (you know this if you watch CBS alot).
  Beers were mostly $3 and $4 as things stretched into happy hour. I did also sample the $2 Happy Hour chicken tacos. These were pretty large flour tortillas filled with normal chicken cubes, lettuce, cheese and some salsa on the side. It was good for that price and later on, I went for the 3-topping cheesesteak with curly fries. This was a way better version than most of these idiots in Phoenix are putting out. The meat is chopped on the grill (saw him doing it), the cheese is folded in and the rolls are from Philly. Fresh mushrooms and peppers and onions made this a pretty tasty dinner. The curly fries were also a good side dish. The inside of this place was pretty empty all day, but patio was full by 5pm. Great place to watch sports outside.
Philly's is the perfect place to relax and unwind after work. The indoor eating area is just dark and cozy enough that you can whine about your day and not feel like people are staring, because they aren't- they are usually watching sports. The outside patio-- is fabulous. They have bar seating, high tops, and regular tables, a fire pit, fun outdoor lighting, and are dog friendly. I love being able to take my dog and socialize him with people on the patio. As for food, I have yet to try something I don't like- which includes the pepperoni/pineapple pizza, a philly cheesesteak, potato skins, mozz sticks, and a burger. The service is pretty good, the girls are really friendly and funny and the owners are awesome. Definitely a fun place to meet friends and hang out.
Review Source:Great happy hour, not so great wings... BUT their cheese steak sammies are passable and hey, $4 appetizers at happy hour and $2.75 beers. For that I will just not order the ucky wings and get something I am less attached to. Service good, atmosphere good. Seemed to be a lot of 50 something dudes around. Don't know why, will see if that's a trend...not that it matters or anything. You single ladies over forty might wanna come spend some time at the bar...
If you like deep fried bar foods cheap, come at happy hour. The outside patio is real nice. Lotsa smoke. Games on lots of TVs. Everything tastes better at happy hour...
Beer-battered mozzarella sticks (light crispy batter/AMAZING) and Pizza cheese steak (with stacks of pepperoni/AWESOME) and Kronenbourg on tap with a great juke box, a fun relaxing atmosphere, and outdoor seating if you need to smoke.
I love this place for a date, for a group of friends or to watch the game.
I shared the sampler platter with my boyfriend. We chowed down on jalapeno poppers, onion rings, fried zucchini, mozzarella sticks, and wings. I never knew bar food could taste this good! I loved the down to earth atmosphere, great food, and reasonable prices. I can't wait to come back and try the Philly sandwiches!
Review Source:After like 2 hours debating where to go, my buddy decided to go here.
I had a beer, a cup of chilli, and Arnold Palmer and a BLDA.
One of my friends had a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and curly fries (which I tried as well).
The verdict:
The place is a neighborhood dive (at least the patio, since we didn't go inside), nothing impressive but comfortable. Â
The chilli was just an OK. My friend's sandwich was OK minus. So why four stars?
The BLDA (A stands for avocado) was delicious. Super crispy bacon, full avocado flavor, I mean, everything was good about this sandwich. The curly fries were also pretty decent.
The service and pricing just OK.
The Arnold Palmer wasn't good at all plus the straw was TOO short for the glass, that's pretty annoying.
*Note. I asked them not to put butter in my bread, idk if they do that, but my experience was without butter in the bread.
Philly's is a sports bar near the Tempe/Scottsdale border.
Having been to Philadelphia on numerous occasions and going to places like Geno's, Pat's, and Tony Luke's, it's always a little unfair to judge the cheesteaks outside of Philly.
Although Philly's doesn't stack up to the cheesteaks in Philly, it's one of the best I've found in Arizona. Any place that offers cheese wiz as an option definitely deserves two thumbs up, and Philly's does just that.
They also have a great happy hour, offering $2.50 domestic drafts and bottles.
Philly's is just a good chill bar, with a great outdoor seating area.
Above average food and good happy hour specials give's Philly's an above average rating of four stars.
This is the standard bearer for a great place to watch UFC or boxing. They DO charge a small cover, but it's well worth it as the food is more than passable and in many cases it's quite good. Quality flat panels all around the place, so the details of the fights are always highly viewable.
Best of all: In the fall and wintertime, the patio is the perfect place to kick back and fire up a couple of good cigars. They have a pair of firepits that will keep you warm and you still have a great view of the action. Mmmm: UFC devastation, Philly cheese steaks, good wings, a great Arturo Fuente (King B or an Anejo) followed by a cup of coffee... It's as good as Scottsdale gets.
When a place is called Philly's and on the menu is has "The Original Philly" I assumed they would know how to make a good Philly Cheesesteak... boy was I wrong...I've never had a cheesesteak were the meat was pretty much ground meat... was not very good at all... they do get points for using CheezWiz.. Â Maybe next time I'll just stick with wings... cause I'll definitely go back for the outside seating and good drink prices..
Review Source:Birthdays are always a great occasion to celebrate, and Philly's is a great place to do it! (haha, I said do it)
Last night, was a friend's birthday, so we came down to Philly's (which I am pretty sure is one of her favorite bar's, and I can see why). This place is pretty cool! It's your typical, local sports bar.
Drinks are cheap, strong, and the vibe is very fun. Long Islands are $4 all day every day. Can't beat that. I smell $20 blackouts on the weekends. Or $20 bad decisions. Whatever you want to call it, I call it one hell of a good time....just be responsible.
The beer selection is decent. About 20 taps, with some craft beers. Fat Tire, Blue Moon, and a couple of selections from Four Peaks. Solid.
The food is your typical bar fare, with a Philly twist of course. Lots of Philly-type sandwiches, with lots of fries. Very tasty. I had the manager's special sandwich, which was topped with jalapenos. Had a nice little kick.
The outside patio is pretty fun, as long as it's not too hot. Luckily there are misters. Score.
I'd definitely come back. This is the place where you can just chill with your friends. No need to dress up. Wear shorts, flip flops.
Guys, leave your douchy jeans in Scottsdale. Girls, leave your slutty dresses and high wedges at your house. Everyone, leave your attitudes elsewhere. This place is for normal people.
This is a great sports bar. Food is good, fine bar food. If you are expecting to e blown away, don't. Expect good bar food.
The beer menu has expanded, including more and better beers as time has gone on. I have been coming here for almost 5 years now.
The staff is a little dodgy as they seem to be way more wrapped up in whatever they have going on than attending tables. However, once they recognize that you've been waiting they're real nice and usually make some generous drinks.
Nice pool table and great TV set up. It is difficult to have a bad time here, it is however equally difficult to have an amazing time.
Once agan, I wish you could give half stars. Â This is a nice little dive-y sports bar around my neck woods. Â The food ranges from okay (e.g. the spinach and artichoke dip, fried zucchini, etc.) to good (e.g. the burgers, sandwiches, etc.). Â The prices are reasonable around $8 for a cheeseburger (Angus beef) with one side (a variety to choose from including french fries, onion rings, and cole slaw), and the servie is very friendly. Â I think it is worthy of a solid and respectable 3.5 stars. Â It's good, just not very remarkable.
Review Source:Quality local sports bar with decent food, reasonable drink prices, $2.50 Modelo and Negro Modelo on Sundays, good staff, and enough local flavor to feel the right amount of divyness.
The staff puts up with a fair amount, but for the most part, they are always smiling...with a few exceptions. No massive TV, but a very good number of TVs (you won't miss anything), including an outdoor bar and nice sized patio with TVs, warmers, fire pits, ping pong, and bean bag toss (or whatever you tossers call it these days). Whether you are watching AFL/Aussie Rules (which you should for the most amazing action outside of the NFL) or the Packers beat the Bears, this is a good spot.
And really, even if you are big sweaty Pats fan...they will change the TV to your game, so, don't get chowda in your stache and try to wait until it is a few minutes or so before kickoff until you turn into a raving lunatic looking like you just got off the boat in Gloucester...Just a thought, not a sermon.
The cheese steaks are the focus of the menu, with sandwiches and typical bar food. You may not win a fight with a Philly native, but the cheese steaks are good, with ample variety and upgrades.
And, if you need a reminder, there is a breath alcohol machine by the bathroom. Even better, enjoy your day, night, morning...and save your change (and more) and get a cab.
Grabbed some lunch here one day and thought it was awesome! Â I'm not from Philly, so I'm not the expert in the area. Â However for a good bite to eat on the cheap (and some fantastic curly fries), this is a great spot to hit up.
My gripe would be how long it took to get the food and then to get the bill. Â If it's the lunch crowd, maybe some pep would be appreciated as I was late back to work.
I came here tonight deliberately to watch the UFC. Thanks to my Yelp mobile app, I quickly found this place near my hotel. Philly's is really great. The service was incredible, tons of flat screen TVs to watch the fights. They also had baseball and football on, which I did not care for. 90 percent of the patrons were in there for the UFC. The other 10 percent were just plain boring and pissy because the sound in the whole bar was STRICTLY for UFC! Hahaha I watched the whole game, drank a few beers, ate an INCREDIBLE Philly Cheesesteak. I was a little skeptical to try it because my boyfriend made me try the real thing in Philly. These were FANTASTICAL... wow, so flavorful with jalapeños and peppers and onions with cheezwiz. I think it had a lot more meat that the ones I had in Philly too! It was so big I couldn't finish more than half. I took the other half home.
If you are ever in Scottsdale/Tempe area, this is THE place to watch the game.
+1 for 2.50 draft beers!!!!!!!!!!!
I really like this place. This place is a good place to come watch a game or UFC or just for getting some food. They have tv's everywhere and the bar is inside and goes outside for those of you who would like to enjoy a smoke at the bar like the good  ol days you can do that here. They have the game Bags set up for anyone to play. Thay also have a ping pong table, pool table, and they even have a breathalizer in the hallway to the restrooms so you can make sure your ok to drive. Its cool and funny cause Arizona is a 0 tollerance state so you can blow a .02 and be busted even thou the limit is .08. I know someone who was busted for blowing .02. Anyway they have a huge patio with the firepits for the cooler weather and great drink specials. I had the philly cheese steak and loved it. They also have a good chicken philly. Cream cheese jalopeno poppers and wings are good to. Check it out!
Review Source:Philly's? More like Yankees!? You suck, real bad. Worse than than the phillies. Even one of the bartenders were routing for the douche bags. If you're a Philly fan go to upper deck and stay far away from this NY hang out! Boo to you sir and I only wish I could give you -100!!! Thank god I didn't eat a cheesesteak!
Review Source:Came here Saturday to watch the SC game with a friend. Â I hate SC and he loves them so he was excited to see all the SC alumni packed inside. Â It was too filled with Trojans inside for us to grab a table so we had to sit at the outside bar. Â Our bartender was amazing! Â Her name is Savannah and she is my drunken soul mate. Â I loved hearing about her night, and we compared pictures of our drunken times on our cameras. Â She's really cool and attentive, and a little bit of a drink pusher. Â But I don't mind, I love getting drunk so I'm happy! Â I am definitely coming back again, just for her!
Review Source:Found this gem of a B&G while vacationing in Arizona, it was within walking distance of our hotel (which met our criteria for the night b/c we'd been drinking already at the free happy hour). Â Wasn't quite sure about them when we approached the door, from the outside it seems kinda shady, but walked in and found it was clean and didn't reek like most bars (especially the B&G on the grounds of our hotel - it should have been called the Ashtray B&G). Â We decided to eat a meal there... and I must say I was very impressed with the menu selection and the quality of the food. Â They had plenty of beer on tap, and like any good sports bar... plenty of TVs.
We ordered the chicken wings as an appetizer, and if I'd have known how good they were going to be...I would have skipped dinner and eaten only these (try the teriyaki wings, their SOOO good!!). Â If you're staying in the Scottsdale area, give this place a try...they're right off of the strip and the service and the food were great. Â I will definitely be eating there again when we go next year.
This bar is definitely not for trendy folks or people looking to 'be seen'. Â It is a nice neighborhood sports bar with good bar food at a great price.
1/29/07 Philly's recently got a facelift and has new tables and they even have booths now. Â They have also expanded their menu to include more dinner type meals, instead of just bar favorites. Â Wednesday night they have a steak night with drink specials and a reduced price steak dinner. Â Of course you can always order one of the many varieties of cheese steak sandwiches, because they are delicious.
This is just a relaxing bar with good food and a friendly staff.
