General Grants Saloon

Just recent I drove by and seen this bar. So went in to give it a try. Had a few drinks. And glad I did.
They have many beer specials. Especially for Eagles, flyers Games.
Never Tryed the food but by seeing what others had it looks good will definitely have to give it a try the next time in there.
Much room to move and a nice size bar to go to. Always big crowds on weekends.

Came here strictly for a painting instruction course, PaintNite, so I can only comment on the ambiance. It has a partition with another space to the side. The interior is spacious and the staff seems friendly. Seemed like a good crowd buzzing inside, and seems like a cool local spot.

Thais place is disgusting, they assaulted a female we were with over a pool game that lasted 5 minutes after last call. The service is poor at best, and the bathrooms are disgusting. With the exception of the female employees they are sub-​par at best. Another thing I should mention, is how rude the male employees are. Also poor cleanliness. Not worth your time or money. Your better off going to miller’s ale house across the street!

I have been coming here for ten years and the wait staff is fantastic. If I wanted bad service, I could frequent some chain joint around the corner. They never close, even when the power goes out!
It is the best spot in the N’East! Oh, try their specialty sandwiches while you’re there, they’re delicious!

Cottman Ave, Northeast Philly
Met a date here; was invited up here when they had a night where they were raising money through donations for breast cancer awareness and had a DJ there. Cool environment. Reading reviews, I hear they have good wings?! I will be back! :-)

One of the best places for food! I go there a lot for just dinner no drinks. Crab soup and quesadilla are really good! I’ve eaten a lot of other things on the menu too and loved it!

Great spot for Sunday afternoons. Food is better then most, with a thumbs up on their wings. Haven’t found any place better for traditional hot wings. Too many bars go for the «we have crap hot wings so try our Cajun wings!».
Good crowd with friendly service. Grants needs to up its beer I.Q. tho. Need to bring in some decent micro brews.

Since I work around the corner, I’ve stopped in on a few occasions for lunch and have always left satisfied. The place is clean, service quick, and food enjoyable. I’ve only gotten the basics — a couple of different wraps and a cheeseburger — so its hard to bump it up past an average rating. However, looking at their specials ($ 10 buckets most nights), has me wanting to check it out for a post-​work happy hour. Nothing like a few drinks to earn an extra star…

Still a good crowd and vibe. But the food and buffalo bites aren’t what they used to be. And unless you’re in the pool leagues, you’ll have a hard time getting time on the pool tables. Even with the loss of a star, it’s still A-​OK in my book!

Best wings in city! Best bar around by far!

What a dump! Lousy food and nonexistent service! I will not return!

A great place in the northeast to go for any kind of culture. The bar is spacious and inviting. They have a dining room and small bar on the left side and a long wrap around bar on the right side. Service is always fast and friendly. Waitresses are nice and talkative.
The surprising part of this place is the quality of the food. From the outside it looks like a dive bar and the inside doesn’t really shout out great food either but the food is really good. The menu is very diverse and offers something for every ones taste. The wings here are really fantastic and the chicken cheese steak is pretty damn good as well. Another great thing is eating here does not empty your wallet.
The bar is stocked with a nice variety of liqueur and comes equipped with about 12 different taps. They always have about 5 or 6 of them rotating to satisfy the change in seasonal beers. There is a fridge in the center stocked with different bottled beverages as well.
You will run into all sorts of people here so its a nice place to congregate for all groups. Or if your in the mood to drink by yourself the bartenders are always more than willing to strike up a conversation. All in all its a really great spot to drink in the heart of the northeast.
P. S. $ 10 for a bucket of 5 bottles. Cant beat that.

What a lame excuse for a dive bar. Pass.

A very good laid-​back bar for people of all ages. They also have the best Buffalo Shrimp I’ve ever had, and most of the food on the menu is above average.
If you like to shoot pool they have two tables in good shape, and on any given night you can get some decent competition from some of their local APA/​APL league shooters. The bar is also pretty spacious and on the weekend they have a DJ to supply the music.
Lots of parking space too.

This place is fantastic for Sunday Funday. A true neighborhood «shot and beer» sports bar. They have enough TV’s to cover any game you want to watch. The food is excellent. The Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak is worth the trip. The wings are the best in Philly. They also have some specialty sandwiches that don’t disappoint. Come in on Sunday afternoon to hide from Monday and see Jimmy «Doles» Dolan, one of the best bartenders in Philly. What I have just written is dogma and should be heeded as such.

We went here in the afternoon in search of good wings in the far NE. I expected better based on the reviews. They serve average size wings. I am not sure why both of the other reviewers are amazed at the size? Were they being served pigeon wings in other places? Their sauce is also average. It tastes like off a supermarket shelf. The garlic sauce is better and I think is probably concocted in house, but still nothing to write glowing reviews about. On styrofoam plates. Yes you heard me correctly, styrofoam. Only bar I have been to in the area that is so cheap they will not spring for real plates. Also we tried to order some Blue Moon, we were told they normally have it but were out, at 4pm in the afternoon. Whatever. To sum up, this place is a typical far NE bar, with typical bar food. Nothing memorable and nothing to go back for.
